About

This Stygian Machine Gun Lich vaporizes all pinnacle content and comfortably farms 700+ corruption. Take Reaper Form and rush through maps while activating Drain Life on cooldown. As you go, spam Rip Blood and use Transplant frequently for increased maneuverability and clear speed. The key to this build is speed and low kill time, using leech to keep yourself up and increase your damage output while killing everything as you run from pack to pack.

The loot filter for this build is here.

Transplant

Providing us with a specialized traversal skill Transplant also gives us added survivability and a good amount of damage as a necrotic focused spell caster. Additionally it triggers an unspecc’d Bone Curse and provides us with a 15% kill threshold.
