Speedrunner's Grinding Rifts Build

This Mystic Strike build focuses on fast movement and swift kills in order to clear Elder Rifts and Challenge Rifts as fast as possible. Mystic Strike is there to dash through the stage while gathering enemies, while the rest of your skills are there to clear them out as fast as possible.

Set Items Boost Movement Speed

It is recommended to aim for two items from the Windloft Perfection Set as your first Set items, as this Set increases your movement speed when not in combat.

After that, aim to get four items from the Issatar Imbued Set. This Set will grant you a movement speed buff per enemy defeated, and increasing damage while that movement speed buff is active. This entire set-up will make you breeze through any Rift.

Legendary Gear Buffs Offensive Skills

As there are no Legendary equipment that buffs Mystic Strike, you will have to upgrade your two strongest skills Seven-Sided Strike and Wave of Light.

Spirit's Reach and Discipline's Weight will increase Seven-Sided Strike's damage and duration, making it an incredibly powerful skill against multiple enemies. On the other hand, Harmony's Song and Chastising Radiance turn Wave of Light into a knockout punch with greater range, effectively increasing the amount of enemies it can kill.

All Legendary Gems Increase Damage

The Legendary Gems Blood-Soaked Jade, Fervent Fang, and Power & Command and staples of a DPS build and all work to greatly increase the amount of damage you're able to do. Seled's Weakening is an absolute must for any build that does Rifts. Zwenson's Haunting and Howler's Call are there to augment your damage output by randomly summoning beasts to do some AoE damage for you.

Stats and Paragon Priorities

Attribute Priorities

Paragon Priorities

As this is a solo PvE build made specifically for speed-grinding, the only two Paragon skill trees you need are Vanquisher, in order to gain basic stat increases to HP and Damage, and Treasure Hunter, for increased EXP, Gold, and Equipment drop rates.

How to Play

Only Engage Elite Monsters Mystic Strike Into Exploding Palm Alternate Between Seven-Sided Strike and Wave of Light

Only Engage Elite Monsters

Speed through the Rift and only engage when you've encountered Elite enemies, who have a colored aura around them. Once you've defeated all the Elite enemies, grab their Rift progress orbs and ignore all the regular enemies, and head on to locate the next Elite enemies.

You may use Mystic Strike to get around faster, but always leave one charge unused for your next encounter.

Mystic Strike Into Exploding Palm

Use Mystic Strike to dash through enemies and gather them together. When they've all been gathered into one place, use Exploding Palm on them to inflict Bleed, which explodes when they die. Now, unleash the rest of your skills to get their HP down in order to trigger said explosions. Repeat this process with every batch of Elite monsters you see.

Alternate Between Seven-Sided Strike and Wave of Light

You always want to have an offensive skill ready to go when the other one is on cooldown, so it's good to alternate between uses of Seven-Sided Strike and Wave of Light to have at least one skill ready to use when you really need it.
