I just did the Boss Mode conquest using the Aether Walker build. It was so easy. I never ran out of Arcane Energy, and I completed it on my first try with only minimal stressing out. With the Boon of the Hoarder gem you get another speed boost, and you can fly around and slaughter everything in your path. T16 is a breeze with this build and GR90's and higher too.
Actually with the buffed unhallowed essence for the demon hunter i experience the same thing. Never worried a second about that conquest and beat it first try vaulting all over the map
This is my favorite build. So glad I found this guide. I use my Tal Meteor build for farming higher GRs but definitely needed something more zippy to run NRs and bounties. Plus it's super fun, lol.
This is clearly the fastest version out there. You did mention this was for t16 and low grs and the benefit of Aether, but not the benefit of in-geom. In-geom allows for a much stronger version in terms of dmg and tankiness while sacrificing a bit of speed and making you use a few more buttons. The main reason is that It reduces the cooldown of all skills and not just teleport. This means you can use orb of infinite depth for a big dmg multipler and dmg reduction buff by spamming explosive blast - chain reaction. This also gives you a better rotation of elemental dmg type cause you will always hit arcane, fire and cold. It also allows you to spam diamond skin - prism for additional safety, arcane cost and squirt protection.
Fair enough, I could have talked more about the upsides of in-geom. although you can put together an aether walker build with both aughilds/guardians or aughids/captains thats comparable damage wise to in-geom/orb of infinite depth, with maybe 20% less damage reduction but much lazier.
I was using the Typhons Hydra build but not anymore. This is so much fun thank you..... I am also doing Grifts up to 105 with this build and a little augmentation.
So I removed diamond skin, and added explosive blast flash and assigned this to 1 (or any number) and if you num lock + # it will autocast. This will allow you to keep up your lightening damage. I put teleport or RMB and meteor on LMB. It's easy to manually cast meteor if you want to, but no need. And TP with right click away. Still works if TP is assigned to a number... but you already have to use your mouse so now it's a no button build?? just a click build. FYI i put force move on scroll wheel... not necessary, but SUPER awesome, I assume that's fairly well known but just in case someone didnt know?
Thanks for the killer video! I just got an awesome map and with this build, I did the T16 in a little over 45 seconds. Pylons were all bunched together and tons of elites and easily achieved [Speed Demon]...great job 🙂
amazing, just what i was looking for !! i wanted to use my tal rasha sorc for quick bounties as well instead of a dh because im just having so much fun fin with her and this is it !! i loved raxx' version but this is just pure mindless t16 grind fun. just got my aether walker and i rushed through my bounties so quickly !! no more mat shortage for me~ thanks so much for showing your twist on the auto meteor build !!
I made almost exactly this same build on my own looking for a way to do bounties faster. At this point I can usually clear two full acts (10 bounties) by myself before the remaining 3 players get their 5 each done! I use avarice band and boon of the hoarder since for group bounties you don't get follower who could wear avarice for you, which gives you a speed boost, and then I use goldwrap for the T16/Bounty invincibility. I definitely would like to find a way to work in Pride's Fall though, as I do, occasionally run out of resource. I'll be looking into tweaking this one for sure!

Try this out. Cube: the grand vizier, Mempo of twilight, Squirts Main hand: Aether walker Tal Rasha: Neck, off-hand, Legs, Belt, Hands. Aughilds: Chest, Shoulders Helm: Crown of the Primus Bracers: Ancient Parthan Defenders Boots: Nilfurs Boast. Rings: Convention of elements, royal ring of grandeur Legend gems: Trapped, powerful, vengeance. Skills: Magic weapon/ deflection Meteor/ thunder crash Teleport/ calamity Slow time/ point of no return Ice armor/ frozen storm Electrocute/ forked lightning or other fire primary skill Passives: Elemental Exposure Galvanizing ward Audacity Astral presence. I put this together from tweaking your original great build j macc 😂
Spot on buddy. Made this build last night and on 900 paras instantly doing GR100s within 4 minutes with bad gear. Super fun to run too! Finally giving those pesky DHs a run for their money lol Several ways of tweaking your survivability too. Thanks for teaching me new stuff!!!
Thank you for this!! I've been struggling with finding a speedfarmer to gain materials fast. It has been a demoralizing endeavour due to the slowness. But after finding the gear for this build it's been an amazing experience, especially doing the dreaded bounties that drains your life essence (I've been walking mostly). I'm surprised maxroll didn't make a note of this build.
@@J_MACC I have a follow-up question. A primal Stone of Jordan dropped wtih: - 20% Lightning Skills damage - Intelligence - Socket Which of the first two do I change into crit damage? Im using the Meteor Thunder crash skill and basically only pressing it once when I enter the dungeon. The other ring is the grandeur.
This is the first time I watch one of your videos AND HOLY SHIT YOUR VOICE FREAKED ME OUT IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE, It made me feel things. with that being said, great guide, awesome build.
I run almost the exact same build, but with Primordial Soul off hand. Double the Elemental Exposure damage bonus works better than Wormhole in my experience, but free Teleports are great too. And I also put Meteor and Teleport on neighboring keys, then tapping both at the same time is easy.
TLDR: if you don't have all the items you can still do this. I put teleport on "1", and meteor on "2" and just spam 12121212. and and blast my way through everything with ease. Ok ...... As I watch this and look at my character that I've been casually playing for years and still can't get past a gr oh5 lol. It seemed unsurmountable. I was playing my character completely wrong trying to Ice Beam everything one at a time :). I don't know, it was fun to play I thought. YOur breakdown was great. I got respecced and had some of the gear already, I had no idea what the Cube was for so I found all the items and got it buffed up with a set bonus, found the Rings in my inventory and of course respecced. Well I instantly went from gr5 to gr15 just by respecting. That said within 2 hours of playing I had the full set bonus for everything I needed,and was running gr 40-50. Maybe about 2 hours later I had everything except the wand and was breezing through gr 70. About 2 hours later the wand dropped and that took me straight to gr90. This is super crazy powerful. I have a lot of room to grow because none of my gear is anywhere near perfect but even with crappy gear I can one shot everything in a gr90. I just need a little more survivability cuz I get one shot two or three times a run but I can still blast through them in 4 minutes.
The unsung hero of this build by far is the fact that you can just teleport through walls and across gaps which makes it incredibly fast to just fly around all over the place.
Wow and ty. Im still learning to run a Wiz and this was so helpful. Still a noob but im getting so much help from one guy who took me trough lots of Rifts etc. Have full Tal Rasha and even the same Aughild. Now I have to try your skill setup and play with it and test it so I can do higher Torment. :D
I guess if pushing 2 buttons is too hard for someone this build is great but the tal rasha speed run build is so sooooo much more efficient than this and you just push two buttons. relying on the auto meteor for most of your clear is leaving a ton of DPS on the table. And this build only works well if the gear is nearly mid maxed whereas tal rasha build that focuses all on meteor damage and relies on your pushing 2 buttons occasionally 3 outperforms this build even with god-awful rolls on the gear and its amazing for t16 Nephilim speed running, echoing fury runs and gr90 speed runs and pretty decent at gr pushing.
I just got a Primal Aether Walker and remembered your video. I have been running the In-geom build but I'm not really a fan of it so I'm going to switch to your build and see how it goes. Btw Aether Walker is my first Primal all season outside of my GR70 one and I'm para 900. I know that isn't that high but the last time I played, a few seasons ago, I was finding at least one Primal a day and here I am just getting my first one two weeks into the season. Thanks for the video!
@@Deffine No I haven't. I haven't found a single ancient puzzle ring and starting days ago I've gone as far as to use all my blood shards on Kadala to try and get one (on a level 31 DH to improve odds) so after I do finally get an ancient puzzle ring I still have to get a gemstone. Hasn't been my season so far but I'm going to keep on pushing.
@@Talix. Just reforge a normal puzzle ring until you get it. If you have a GoD DH, farming mats is super easy. Should get one in just a few minutes if you have the mats.
I'm somewhat new to diablo but this looks fun, however what about all the drops o.O do i go around collecting everything or will i get it all in my mail for forgotten items?
Great video. Im mot understanding how you're spamming teleport though. Wormhole i get but then the real cooldown starts ya? In the video it looks like you never stop hitting teleport. Thanks
I don't think you need mempo of twilight cubed, Seems like the effect applies only to "Casted" meteors, and since this build focuses on procing them then its useless
im playing the version that rax showed on his channel and its good for 115's speeds. But i will try editing my t16 build to this one and see how it goes.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jmmgAyXvBtw.html 115 Speeds version I made during PTR. I'm currently running the guardians version in the D3 planner link and it's crushing.
I just switched my cube weapon from smoldering core to Aether walker. No need to make an entire build out of it. A couple right clicks here and there won't kill me.
I tried doing something similar with a hybrid 5 piece Tal Rasha's / 3 piece Firebirds for the damage reduction and teleport CDR. I had problems getting ice armor to proc meteors at all, to the point where I thought it couldn't. Tried your build and it still wouldn't work for more than a couple of seconds without constant recasting.
I just rolled a wiz but I'm missing the cosmic strand and prolly some sort of cost reduction cuz I run out of arcane power so freakin fast with Aether walker. Its not really fun that way. Didnt know it is a crafted item haha
I'm super new, how do I get all those skills you have to ve selectable? My issue is ice armor and familiar are both in conjuration, and I can't pick them both. I'm paragon 110 lol. Thanks
That's an efficient way to farm as wizz, thanks a lot for sharing this ! Is it possible to proc lightning meteor passively ? only fire/ice/arcane are droping, no lightning proc from enchant weapon, that's frustrating ! Any idea?
Yea I went over it in the video, not really. Your best bet is the lightning explosive blast I suppose but that’s not really passive unless you numlock it.
I like this build better than the ingeom build. I did modify yours slightly and went with a Tal Rasha offhand for the extra Meteor damage and it allowed me to keep my CoE.
yeah the ingeom one I'm finding is way to inconsistent and depends way to much on luck in getting a good rift and finding the packs so tp doesn't come off cd fast enough some times -.-
Thanks for the description and straightforwardness. just wanted to ask what to do regarding follower for solo gr 90~105. and if there's any chance to make it a bit push of a build?
thx for this, was using hydra build to farm keys trying to think in my head if i could make it work with tal rasha set without running out of arcane lol
Is it more beneficial to play with Enchanter? I did played with her last season and I got up to like 135 GR, at the moment I am trying to push with Templar since he has healing, what is your opinion about that? You prefer ench?
I'm confused as to what exactly gives you the ability to spam teleport like that. I'm constantly out of AP if I try playing the build the way you show in the video. Any tips would be great, awesome video btw
Is bane of the stricken any better than bane of the powerful for higher gr? I've seen another build which also had bane of the powerful but a friend of mine recommended the former
Bane of the stricken is typically used to push high greater rifts, it becomes very powerful when a rift guardian takes along time to kill because it can stack forever technically.
With the altar, your pets are picking up deaths breaths and yellow/blue/white items. At this point in the season it’s not worth picking up most legendaries, although I’m probably missing a good item here and there. Typically my goal is to farm GR keys as fast as possible.
I'm running this build and it's doing really well, but I don't know how he can TP so often without running out of Arcane Power? I've got over 50% reduc total on stat sheet, but it's still only letting me tp maybe 15 times before running out. Anyone know if there's something I'm missing?
I swapped out diamond skin for spectral blade:throwing blade and my fat finger clicks it on the reg anyhow so I get my lightning meteors without any fuss
does anyone know if wreath of lightning works to proc the lightning meteor? you mentioned it being trouble to get working, seems solid and the wreath of lightning buff is constantly active but i cant notice any lightning specific meteors falling when i try
How much better is Prides fall in comparison to leorics crown for resource cost reduction? Just wondering I don't understand from face value why it would be the better choice, thanks.
i copied exactly what suggested in the video, in general the build is clearing fast, but myconly is survivability, did anyone faced the same issue and found a fix?
if u are useing stone of jordan why not use COE in cube instead of squirts, it has 200% dmg increase instead of 100% and doesnt have the dmg taken drawback
COE and SOJ do not interact with each other. COE is a legendary power. SOJ refers to static elemental damage increases, such as elemental damage on bracers and amulets.
