shields and armor doubts
dunno if maxing sinergy with Rift using jmod or head hunter glory (cheaper solution) with cold facets + any armor with some skills and useful things (treachery / coh / enigma) or make it even more "proc" using Phoenix / Dragon for some fire dmg and hydras (also redemption aura will help a lot I think).
any one tried different builds and figure out what is best in 360° pvm scenario?
Cheers

Shield: monarch with 4 x 5-5 cold jewels
Armor: enigma
Phoenix is shit and so it's dragon.

You can take a look at my rift assa:

looks pretty solid.
what about baal, cows, nihlathak?

Cows are pretty easy as you still have a good death sentry. You can clear every zone, you have light, fire, phy and poison damage if you go for venom. Baal it's pretty easy with some crushing blow.

I have no tested her in new d2r but blade shield makes you cast A LOT more frozen orbs.

a quick recap to the most important things (correct me if im wrong):
- dragon / phoenix sucks
- 36 level required on dragon talon to achive 7 kicks
- absolutely not replaceable slot:
--- helm: nightwing
--- weapon: rift
--- ring: raven
--- shield: something with slots for facets
--- rest: all that helps to reach lvl 36 dragon talon and decent res because we are using Burst of speed and not Fade.
- need ias somewhere or burst of speed do the job? my thought was on 2 martial / xx ias crafted gloves instead of dracs or treachery that also gives 2 skills which is good

Mostly are correct. But you can build this character in a lot of different ways. You can focus more on traps than me for sure.
About lvl of kicks, higher level gives more phy damage and AR, but more kicks means more time stuck on the same spot, so there are people that like having 3 or 4 kicks.
About ias you can use: https://d2.lc/IAS/
Don't forget to test blade shield, if it works like old d2 is a game changer for rift!

It shouldn't. It only attacks once per second and FO only has a 1/6 chance of firing per attack - which is to say it should only be ~1 extra FO every 6 seconds. I'd still leave it up as it's free damage, but unless it's bugged it should have almost no impact.

I don't know why, but it works. You just cast like x2 or x3 FO if you have blade shield. Check the short video i posted before killing cows, you can't cast so many orbs without the shield.

whats with the odd runewords?
with those buggy highend gear still takes forever, i guess it is only for sin lovers.

My armor just an hybrid enigma. Infinity is a must, this is not the strongest build. The cta in phase blade is great to use traps as it's a fast weapon.
