This is a combo of essences and gems and magical attributes that I personally enjoy using in BG’s and conqueror or tower wars specially it is deadly af.

Howling Anchor adds bleeds to crosswinds so when paired with

- Mothers Lament (craft)
- Roiling Consequence
- Pain Clasp (craft)
- Vipers Bite (craft)
- Seeping Bile

These 5 gems together maybe lower your reso from all Lego gems but if u try it you’ll see that it has much better impact in BG for a few reasons that don’t involve DPS or anything dmg related…

1. You steal kills from others due to the ticks of the bleeds sneaking their way to that last fatal dmg after someone else blasted the enemy players

2. It forces people to step off idol to go heal even if it’s doing small dmg per tick

3. Bleeds stack

4. If your potency is at a good number (3500-4500+) than your bleeds will be quite deadly to most players, specially in the 4-5k range.

5. Your Zefs also copy all skills with this summons build all buffed up with the pew pews. You can conjure two Zefs on edge of idol and surf to other idol to help. Giving you much more control of the battlefield and a lot of the times when the matchmaking isn’t babyback BULLSHIT… you will tank by means of offense both idols because zefs do quite a bit of dmg if you farm the right equipment focusing on fort/str/willpower stats with attack speed and vexed cursed properties (6piece)

Recommendations:

1. Increase your baseline attack speed to a minimum of 20% in order to be able to lose 2 of the 4 pieces for Vithu and add a 2 piece that increases dmg and or extends duration of all bleeds, primary attacks, summon dmg, summon duration etc…. Zefs are considered both summons and primary attacks. They also copy your bleeds.

2. If you’re strength is very very low (8k or less) you would benefit more from Seafarers Trows (adds 19% all dmg increase for 3 secs after using Flow Strime) rather than Howling Anchor which is the crosswinds bleed.

3. Extra Water Blades Eternal Gear - equip at least 1, or if you’re real kinky, equip 2 extra water blades (max of 4 total can be equipped but you would lose 2 of the flow strike shields which we all should be using by now) to add 11k dmg per hit.

4. Beneficial Effect Duration - equip as many of these as you can

5. Cool down Reduction - Equip as many of these as you can. For greens, Cool Reduction can be found:

a.) Neck

b.) Arms

c.) Fingers

6. Critical Hits - you don’t have to worry about crit chance since it gets nerfed big time upon entering a bg by 66%. Said nerf will apply in general to most stats. So it’s 1/3 basically. Focus on getting crit dmg as high as you can I like 30-45 personally otherwise don’t bother. 45% crit dmg will get nerfed to 15.3% inside bg for example. Since crit dmg dictates the bleeds tick crit hits (say that 3 times fast lol) then even 10% added crit dmg is a big boost to what the zefs do in general and crosswinds and bleeds most important of all ofc.

For Lego Gear they can be found in believe in all pieces just drops by chance so it’s all luck

In conclusion, you should be farming cool reduction or Ben effect with fort/will/str pieces that also have primary, crits or summon magical attributes, ideally.

Or whatever tickles your foreskin honestly. This has just worked wonders for me in PvP. You know best what you need though so trust your gut!


Here is the Build which is also posted on reddit (without bleeds and added dmg instead)

r/DiabloTempestBuilds

………………………….
SPEC
………………………….



ESSENCES:

Head - Dream And Drown (this is basically another DOT imo and since we are pew pew shooting this while active it infects anyone getting shot meaning they’ll receive extra crit dmg after the first hit to all enemies hit by you from a far, see below)

Chest - Fade To Bronze (Cascade adds un-nerfed bg crit dmg 47.5% and this is from all sources and players, not just you)

Shoulders - United Defiance

Pants - Howling Anchor (bleed) - OR - Seafarers Trows (dmg buff) if below 8k in strength stat

Main 1 - Shriekworth

Main 2 - Skein Parter

Off 1 - Maroozhi Spine

Off 2 - Hurricane Hitch

…………………
GREENS
…………………


***VITHU 4 piece will NOT stack with most things that give you attack speed like WINDSWEPT PROMISE essence for example among other things. Try to get your attack speed as close to 30% as possible to avoid this conflict of beneficial effects that won’t stack. This combo of greens has been the best I have been able to craft so far but there’s others like the Angments Set that work the same way as what I’ve written down here


2 piece Vithu

2 piece Gloom

2 piece Banquets

2 piece Feasting

……………
Gems
……………

The ones mentioned above at the beginning plus a power and command imo is a must because it adds 24% more dmg. Also, regardless of what it’s on whether it’s power (primary) or command (skills) you and your zefs by extension will receive that 24% dmg boost 100% of the time since the zefs come from a skill and they only use primary.

Enjoy!
