About

A fun high potential build that is capable of clearing all pinnacle content and can comfortably farm 1000+ Corruption. We are directly casting Smite with this build, gaining extreme damage and cast speed by using the Devotion amulet which provides both per 5 missing mana. Holy Aura is used to boost our damage alongside Volatile Reversal on cooldown. Symbols of Hope and Healing Hands are both automatically triggered, one via the unique belt Orian’s Sun Seal and the other by casting Smite.

The Endgame Loot filter can be found here.
