Bulldoze Enemies With Guaranteed Crits

This build is great at virtually any form of content, but really shines in pushing Challenge Rifts.

An augmented Draw and Quarter lets you cut through mobs and bosses alike with its increased attack and movement speed, flame trails, and bombardment. This skill also lets you phase through enemies, making it an invaluable skill for overall mobility and survivability.

Consecration, Spinning Shield, and Sacred Fire ups the ante with their incredible aoe damage. The latter's added effect is extremely strong when aimed properly as well, essentially turning it into your most potent boss killer outside of Draw and Quarter.

All these skills are taken even further through the addition of Holy Banner. This insane skill grants you 11 seconds of guaranteed critical hits. Its uptime is maximized as well via our recommended head piece — you won't have to worry about where to place your banner if it's attached to you instead!

Legendary Gear Setup

Our recommended legendary gears are set up to improve the effectiveness of almost all of our skills, with Draw and Quarter taking the most space as it is the centerpiece of this build.

Besieger, Bladed Jambeau, and Sivket's Advantage improves the effectiveness of the aforementioned centerpiece by either giving it additional damage effects during its uptime or increasing the duration the uptime itself.

Arrowkeeper ensures your Holy Banner's uptime by attaching you to the banner itself. Sinkhole Cross makes your Spinning Shield stay in place, turning it into a high-damage skill that shreds anything within the target area. Lastly, The Bristle is added to give your Sacred Fire more cleave and AoE potential, resulting in faster ultimate charges.

Two-Set Combo

Grace of the Flagellant and Issatar Imbued are the best sets for this build as they perfectly compliment the its two main strengths: continuous damage and high movement speed.

Start off by grabbing Torn Sole and Open Gut as soon as you land in Hell Mode I Difficulty. The Grace of the Flagellant's two-set effect will grant you a greater power spike due to how many continuous damage skills you have. Start grabbing the Issatar pieces as soon as you reach Hell Mode II and above to complete the setup.

Gem Setup

Your Normal Gems lean towards bolstering your damage capabilities, while still maintain a decent level of survivability. Consider swapping the Sapphire and Aquamarine counts if you prefer more defense.

Legendary Gems, on the other hand, is all about letting you run through everything in sight. Take note that this build runs Power and Command. Knowing when to use your skills and your primary attack (Sacred Fire) is absolutely paramount to achieve maximum dps.

Stats and Paragon Priorities

Attribute Priorities

Paragon Priorities

Paragon Priorities are pretty straightforward for this build. Start off by investing in the Vanquisher tree to get that much-needed DPS boost at the early stages of the endgame. You will constantly hop back to this tree when you grab key skills and nodes from other trees later on.

Start investing in the Treasure Hunter tree and get Swift Learner as soon as possible to gain more XP from elite packs, which you will find more of as you clear higher-level rifts. Once you start feeling the pain at higher levels, start getting a few life and armor nodes from the Survivor tree.

Lastly, the Mastermind tree grants you insanely good party-wide boons depending on your party composition. This is a great tree to invest in as soon as possible since almost all forms of PvE content in the Hell I and above are group-based.

How to Play

Time Your Holy Banners Aim Spinning Shields at Key Targets Create Flame Trails Across Targets Use Your Ultimate Wisely

Time Your Holy Banners

Your Holy Banners are the key to maximum DPS. Only use it when most, if not all of your skills are off cooldown. This ensures maximum value off the banner's uptime and quick work of any target.

Coordinate With Your Party

Take note that this applies to Group Play as well! The best time to activate this is when your party or raid has most, if not all their cooldowns off to ensure maximum value. Hit your team up and strategize accordingly!

Aim Spinning Shields at Key Targets

Spinning Shield positioning is crucial because planting all three shields correctly results in extremely high damage during Holy Banner's uptime.

Wait until your mobs group up tightly, then chuck the shields out. You don't have to release every shield from the get-go either — staggering them depending on the mob's size is fine as well.

For bosses, learn their attack patterns and identify times where they stand in place for a considerable amount of time. This lets them receive the full duration of the shields' uptimes.

Create Flame Trails Across Targets

Besieger and Bladed Jambeau turns Draw and Quarter into a devastating skill that leaves flame trails and bombards random enemy positions for its entire duration. Make sure you maximize these by constantly running across your targets and luring them together.

Sivket's Advantage increases this skill's duration by 30% as well, granting you even more uptime and which leads to even more damage — especially during Holy Banner's uptime.

Use Your Ultimate Wisely

Sacred Fire's ultimate is extremely powerful and can turn the tide in most scenarios. This ultimate takes a while to charge up. Only use this under two conditions to ensure its maximum value:

• When your HP is low and in need of an emergency shield
• When you have Holy Banner up.
