Historical set core and role
A mobile channeling build with Sweeping Wind, a Cold damage window and deliberately triggered control bonuses.
This complete plan optimises a named set playstyle. It does not claim to have been the highest solo-push build in every assigned season; additional Nova, Meteor, bell and turret profiles cover specialised peak windows.
Six active skills
| Skill · rune | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Tempest Rush · Flurry | Primary channel with a planned release of accumulated stacks. |
| Sweeping Wind · Inner Storm | Maintain the wind for set effects and resource support. |
| Epiphany · Desert Shroud | Spirit and core damage reduction; Rabid Strike copying only when that weapon is actually equipped. |
| Blinding Flash · Faith in the Light | Control and a prepared damage window. |
| Dashing Strike · Blinding Speed | Positioning and emergency movement. |
| Mantra of Salvation · Agility | Defensive foundation. |

Stats and passive skills
Dexterity, Cold damage matching Flurry, critical stats and adequate cooldown reduction for Epiphany. Establish stable Spirit sustain first; attack speed without resources can make channeling worse.
Initial passive choices: Beacon of Ytar, Harmony, Seize the Initiative, Near Death Experience.
An emergency-survival passive can be replaced for an experienced Softcore push. In Hardcore, first secure death prevention and reliable buff uptime.
How to play the build
Step 1
Start Sweeping Wind and activate Epiphany before dangerous contact.
Step 2
Build stacks with Tempest Rush and select a manageable pack. Do not blindly pull every unexplored room.
Step 3
Prepare control and Blinding Flash for the damage window, then deliberately release Flurry.
Common mistakes and corrections
- Accidental release wastes the planned window: practise controls and movement.
- Missing wind or Epiphany: restore defence before progressing.
Introduction and later patch boundaries
Patterns of Justice begins in Season 19; this normal three-slot core is used only after the original console Flurry issue. An additional WoL Sanctification profile covers Seasons 27/34/40.
A returning season theme repeats its special power, not its old balance. Season 30+ additionally uses the returning Altar and Visions; Season 29’s 800-Paragon cap must not be carried forward.
Passive skills
Initial passive choices: Beacon of Ytar, Harmony, Seize the Initiative, Near Death Experience.
