All Masterwork 12 except the helm, amulet, and 1 ring (which are at 8 since I hope to replace them). Eventually plan to acquire The Grandfather Mythic greatsword if the rune drops cooperate.<\/li>\n<li>Cursed Aura, Torturous, Blighted, Empowering Reaper, Damned, Decay, &#038; Hardened Bones affixes.<\/li>\n<li>NaguVex and LithLum runewords with double Topaz in the armor and double Emerald in the weapon. Jewelry is 1 Diamond and 2 Skulls.<\/li>\n<li>Control -> Wither\/Amplify -> Frailty\/Gravekeeper -> Scent of Death\/Darkness -> Bloodbath\/Territorial paragon boards\/nodes, all at level 46.<\/li>\n<li>Armor at 1k with 75% Fire\/Poison\/Shadow Resistances &#038; 65% Lightning\/Cold Resistance. 9k Life, 42% Attack Speed, &#038; 60% Crit Chance<\/li>\n<li>Extra Bolt Shadow Mages &#038; Warriors\/Golems Sacrificed for 10% Crit Chance and 15% Attack Speed.<\/li>\n<li>Aldkin (Shadow) and Varyana (Attack Speed) mercenaries.<\/li>\n<li>Chaos Unleashed with Decimating Desecration, Erupting Chaos, and Accelerating Chaos (so Shadowrift has 100% uptime).<\/li>\n<li>Abilities\n<ul>\n<li>Rank 1 Enhanced Reap, Supernatural Blight, &#038; Abhorrent Iron Maiden<\/li>\n<li>Rank 5 Paranormal Sever, Abhorrent Decrepify, &#038; Supreme Soulrift<\/li>\n<li>Rank 1 Crippling Darkness &#038; Shadowblight<\/li>\n<li>Rank 2 Hewed Flesh &#038; Necrotic Carapace<\/li>\n<li>Rank 3 Imperfectly Balanced, Necrotic Fortitude, Titan&#8217;s Fall, Death&#8217;s Embrace, Amplify Damage, Precision Decay, Coalesced Blood, Reaper&#8217;s Pursuit, Gloom, Terror, Finality, &#038; Inspiring Leader<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Basically, all I have to do is constantly cast Sever while popping Soulrift whenever it comes off cooldown. Blight and the two curses are handled by the equipment affixes while I pretty much never have to re-summon the skeleton mages. It&#8217;s a very simple and straight-forward build that deletes normal enemies and elites quickly and painlessly. Bosses in T4 take a bit longer but should go much smoother once I hit paragon 200 and have the rest of the key offensive nodes acquired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just recently made it to Torment IV difficulty with all the Champion tier and below rewards acquired in Diablo IV&#8216;s tenth season.
