Legendary gems and Kanai’s Cube

Legendary gems: Bane of the Trapped; Pain Enhancer; Gogok of Swiftness.

Kanai’s Cube: unavailable. It arrived with patch 2.3 / Season 4; do not add three extra legendary powers.

Rotation and positioning

Build Gogok stacks before activating Akarat’s Champion. Fire Stampede into packs; use Provoke and the active Law for Wrath. Judgment prepares damage, while Steed Charge restores distance and firing angles.

Stats, sockets and progression

Prioritize cooldown reduction for Akarat, then Physical, Phalanx damage and critical stats. Use a helm diamond and weapon emerald. Complete the shield, set and resource engine first; otherwise sustained fire collapses.

Archive boundaries and source review

This is a dated archive configuration optimized for its stated activity. Historical Greater Rift records are not inferred from current item tooltips; later set multipliers do not apply to this version.

Unity is a solo option with an immortal follower and a second Unity; use a suitable damage ring in groups.
