This video is to showcase and explain the relic of the pact character I've been playing the past few weeks for bossing and general mapping.

It's an excellent character for rapidly farming difficult bossing related content as well as dealing with popular abyssal or titanic strategies.

I've been keen on the inquisitor version for awhile but having gone back recently and reconfigured some of the gearing I've come to the conclusion that elementalist is just the way to go and the best for introducing people into the world of relic of the pact. It provides a large amount of gearing freedom in addition to the defensive safety net of bastion. Having a lot of area scaling, elemental damage, exposure, and shock makes it a fantastic scaling choice.

Relic of the pact has the benefit of being able to be played from level 38 as well (or even 30!) once you're able to equip the Essence Worm ring alongside the namesake Relic of the Pact wand. You'll never take it off at that point easily pushing through the campaign and maps while taking nothing but life scaling.

Thank you for taking the time to check out the build and hopefully you can find as much joy out of playing with relic as I have. POBs are below for varying investment levels.

Don't try to use temporal chain in the offhand like I was doing early on it doesn't work with balance of terror. They have to still be socketed to keep the balance buff. I do recommend having a min charge offhand shield for some defense + speed as well as shield charge access without losing sockets. Later on feel free to put them into the main links once you move off untouched soul

https://pobb.in/e0rTYO5RVClJ - level 1 pob and level 38 relic swap setup
wolf and fire burst will carry you using whatever until 38 then relic will carry you through the rest of the game, just keep clicking life nodes and jewel sockets

https://pobb.in/XhfN4-CrB0pj - starter pob (20 divine+)
A strong pob to clear ubers and some of the more basic t17 strategies.

https://pobb.in/pZCI-6YgKnYr - inquisitor version
I do recommend elementalist but inquisitor has the perks of ignoring resistance modifiers on altars/maps more easily

https://pobb.in/BVwtFi_hpXCL - more expensive (70 divine + probably)
excellent for skipping phases on uber bosses and dealing with tanky mapping strategies, still has good defenses

https://pobb.in/D5uIRomQOXUZ - mageblood version, mostly faster not really more damage or anything, zhp huge aoe version with 21% reduced ring vs using a 20 or 19 (or changing anoint and using a big life + multi ring without reservation)

Thanks again for stopping by if you have any comments, criticisms, questions, memes, jokes, whatever feel free to drop some below or visit me again at   / simplyvizniz
