Camaroni's Navira's Fracturing Disciple of Varashta Build

Diablo 4 Build - Con Damage is difficult to scale up

The Disciple of Varashta build by CamaroniNCheez slows down packs of enemies and inflicts them with curses before nuking the screen with Navira's Fracturing. The concept is scaling up the damage of Navira's Fracturing with Minion stats to burst down foes standing in the massive Chilled Grounds, which are supported by Curses and Infusions.

If you are looking to start with this build, it is recommended to follow our Cold Infusion Sorceress leveling build which follows the journey from Act 1 to Interludes!

Weapons

Given that the skills the build uses scale off different stats, it is required to have two weapon sets to set up the build's damage:

For your weapon set one, the primary goal is to increase the lethality of your Djinn's commands. Get a Stoic Sceptre for Discipline, which gives you and your Djinns more Energy Shield. After that, try to get modifiers that increase Minion Damage, Critical Hit Chance/Damage Bonus, and Minion Skill Levels, as all your commands will be scaling off these stats and not yours in particular.

However, the build still needs improvements to the characters to set up its Curses and Cold Spells. To do that, get a Dueling Wand as your base for weapon set two, and then try to get modifiers that Cold Damage, Critical Spell Damage, Cast Speed, and Level of all Cold Spell Skills.

Both of these will use different Tasalian Talismans. The main difference is that the (1) talisman for weapon set one should focus on getting Levels to Minion Skills, while (2) weapon set two requires additional Cold Damage. Both should focus on Energy Shield and Resistances to help with the build's defenses.

List of Weapons

Armor and Accessories

This build's main survivability stats revolve around both Armour and Energy Shield, so stack up as much equipment that provides these to lay the groundwork of this build's defenses. Furthermore, it is always the best practice to obtain Maximum Life and cap out on all of the elemental resistances. Armour is also needed so the bonus from Applies to Elemental Damage is worthwhile.

The build itself does not heavily rely on stats to survive, but more on skill interactions like Slow Magnitude and Chill to keep it running. With how the build is set up, enemies are slowed to the point where it feels like they are stunned, and that is because of The Prisoner's Manacles' unique effect, where the debuffs you inflict have increased Slow Magnitude.

As for your Accessories, obtain a Stellar Amulet with Additional Levels to Minion Skills, and Amethyst Rings to cap out your Chaos Resistance. The priority desecrated modifier here would be to get the Minion deal Increased Damage if you've Hit Recently as you will actively be hitting enemies in between your Djinn Commands. Lastly, get Maximum Life and some Elemental Resistances for additional survivability.

Weapon Set 1 should have Xipocado's Soul Core of Dominion as it generally increases the damage your Djinns will have. Weapon Set 2 then should be slotted with a Greater Glacial Rune to increase the damage of your Cold Spells. Both Talismans should have Greater Iron Runes to further improve the Energy Shield they give.

As for the Armor, slot in Greater Iron and Elemental Runes to further increase the defenses of the build while also helping cap out the Elemental Resistance. Darkness Enthroned then should increase the potency of Curses and Exposure by doubling the effects of Idol of Egrin and Stag Idol respectively.

Darkness Enthroned, with the Helmet as its alloted equipment type, strengthens the build's ability to deal more damage by increasing the potency of Curses and Exposure through the slotted Runes. If you do not have Darkness Enthroned, equip any belt with high Armour or Energy Shield as a base and solid modifiers with Attributes or Resistances.

As for your Charms, make sure to equip a Stone and Thawing Charms to make you immune to most immobilization debuffs. Lastly, a Staunching Charm should add that extra bit of protection against Bleeding. As for modifiers, it is recommended to get Recover Life when Used for added survivability!

This build revolves around the use of Djinn Command and Cold Spell skills to make up for most of its kit, each with their own role and synergy:

  • Navira, the Last Mirage - Your primary Djinn, Navira is mainly used to cast Navira's Fracturing on Chilled Grounds as the build's source of burst damage.
  • Kelari, the Tainted Sands - Mainly used to Inflict critical weakness for additional burst.
  • Ruzhan, the Blazing Sword - Used as an additional means of inflicting exposure, which the build can reach up to 200% alongside the other means of exposure.
  • Snap - Used as an additional source of Cold Infusion by consuming Freeze and a means of burst.
  • Ice Nova - This will be your primary source of exposure and Chilled Ground after getting infusions from Snap. Mostly a setup to Navira's Fracturing.
  • Frost Bomb - Most of the Exposure and Cold Infusions comes from this skill, especially with Spell Cascade covering alot of ground.

Apart from the main kit, Camaroni included other support skills that massively increase both the build's damage potential and survivability:

  • Discipline - Provides additional Energy Shield to you and your Djinns.
  • Blasphemy - Slotted in with Temporal Chains to further increase Slows and Elemental Weakness to further apply Exposure.
  • Barkskin - Converts all the damage you take to your Energy Shield to Armour. Used alongside Sacred Rituals for a massive increase to defenses.

Passive Tree Progression

Ascendancy
NaviraThe Fourth Teaching and Sacred Rituals
Passive Tree
Video taken from Path of Building.

Most of the damage of this build can be gained through the proper gear, so Camaroni designed the passive tree to focus on stacking defenses and slow magnitude, essentially making the build easier to pilot and reliable to use in the endgame while still allowing you to deal absurd amounts of damage.

The notable passives that this build focuses on are the following keywords: Energy Shield, Slow Magnitude, and Curse Magnitude nodes. Make sure to configure the Weapon Set 1 and 2 as each set focuses on a different group of stats. Weapon Set 1 focuses more on Minion Damage and Critical Hit Chance, and Weapon Set 2 tries to cover more on Orb Skills, Chill, Exposure, and Elemental Damage.

On the other hand, the Ascendancy passive nodes for this build get all of the Djinn Baryas, fulfilling the needs of the build in terms of defense. The Djinn Baryas make up most of your offense and are the cornerstone of this build. The Fourth Teaching and Sacred Rituals synergize perfectly with this build's main defense, wherein it allows Energy Shield to recharge more quickly and be included in the calculation for Physical Damage Reduction of Armour.

Jewels

Note: The modifiers listed are arranged according to priority.

Sapphire Jewel Sapphire ・+% Increase Maximum Energy Shield
・Minions have % increased Critical Hit Chance
・Minions have % increased Critical Damage Bonus
・% Increased Freeze Buildup
・% Increased Area Effect of Curses
・% Increased Energy Shield Recharge Rate
・Gain additional Ailment Threshold equal to % of Maximum Energy Shield

This build prioritizes the survivability aspect, so the number one priority for Sapphire Jewels is more Energy Shield. However, attempt to get Sapphire Jewels that have modifiers to Minion Critical Hit Chance and Minion Critical Damage Bonus. Some alternatives but less desirable modifiers are Freeze Buildup, Curse Area Effect, and Ailment Threshold!

If you want to fully min-max the damage this build deals, using all the Djinns is required to bring out its best. The rotation is as follows:

  1. Use Kelari, the Tainted Sands to inflict Critical Weakness.
  2. Use Ruzhan, the Blazing Sword to inflict Exposure.
  3. Cast Frost Bomb to gain both Cold Infusions and inflict Exposure on enemies. You can optionally use Snap if the boss is Frozen for more Cold Infusion
