I want to play this with infernal blow and want to use ancestral call with it (maybe as a swap for clear vs single target)

which support to leave out for this? FA is bad because different color... but MS, Meleephys and WED both are insane multipliers. and leaving melee slash out doesn't sound nice either...

I think you can do it without melee splash, the ancestral call support fills out this role basically. With it, you should one shot mobs and clear packs anyway from their corspe explosions.

Hi OP.

New player here, thanks for taking the time to put this guide together and keep it up to date. Do you have plans to update it in 3.2? I'm looking forward to trying it out come new league season.
So I've been using this build in 3.2 and having a lot of fun with it. My question for OP or anyone else much better at this game than I is what should I do if I get The Surrender?

I see that it gives L30 reckoning skill, but does this reckoning skill interfer with the gem in my 4link? Or do they cast both on block? If they don't stack, how should I rearrange my skill gems.

I assume you'd but the other 3 gems that go into the 4L reckoning into the shield, but now you have a 3link with a spare gem slot to go in your gloves/boots/helm.
thanks
