Setup: !SVbY!bZZaaYīloodtide Blade: For this you'll want to change your skills around so that Death Nova is your main Essence-spender instead of skeletal mage. Maltorius' Petrified Spike: You'll want to change a few skills around so that Bone Spear is your main Essence-spender instead of skeletal mage. Rilena's Shadowhook: just change Blood Siphon to Bone Spikes Some legendaries will completely change your build around, unfortunately I can't put all possible combinations here but for reference I will provide 4 builds for the 4 legendary 2h scythes that you can get from upgrading:

For example, I found Scythe of the Cycle while I was leveling, and so I switched out Flesh Golem for Bone Armor to use it.

Simulacrum doubles your essence and makes your singularity mages twice as strong, but it has a big cooldown, so only use this for tough elite packs and bosses.ĭepending on which 2h scythe you get, you will want to change your build around that weapon.Īlso, if you get any good legendaries for cubing at low-level, you can and should tailor your build around it. Siphon Blood when you have no mages and no corpsesĬommand Golem provides you with some emergency corpses. Dark Reaping will give you essence every kill At level 70, you should kill Malthael, he will drop the plans for Reaper Wraps, and then you should immediately craft one and use it. You should be upgrading a rare level 70 2h scythe as soon as you have 25 Deaths Breaths, which will give another 35-40 max essence. Overwhelming Essence gives +40 max essence

Singularity uses all your essence to create a huge mage that deals a lot of damage, so the build also has a lot of ways to build essence. So if you don't have any corpses, you can still kill stuff with mages, and if you don't have any essence, you can still kill stuff with corpse lance. Basic starter build for when you are just starting a season character (or don't have access to Haedrig's Gift, or have already used your Haedrig's Gift for the season).Ĭorpse Lance uses corpses, while mages use essence.
