Ring of Royal Grandeur (REQUIRED, worn or cube) - Achieve set bonuses as if we were wearing 1 additional piece of a set. This duo gives us another 50% DR to work with. We are always in Tempest Rush and therefore we are always moving. Travelers Pledge & Compass Rose - If your group composition cannot make good use of Oculus Ring's damage amplification circles, or if you yourself are finding survivability an issue, these are an excellent option. This is helpful for the rate at which we proc Soothing Mist and Won Khim Lau's effect (more on this later). Istvan's Paired Blades - This gives us 30% armor and attack speed at max stacks (5).

This could lead to you dropping below the threshold for Aquila Cuirass, losing a significant amount of DR.

This essentially makes Tempest Rush cost-neutral, though keep in mind with many attack speed buffs or speed pylon your cost can exceed the pace of this regen. It also gives us 50% DR and 50 spirit regeneration when channeling Tempest Rush. Patterns of Justice 2p & 4p - This gives us some needed movement speed with Sweeping Wind active for traveling or maneuvering around ground affixes, as well as giving us every rune of Sweeping Wind. Depending on your group composition, you may desire to run a mantra anyway for a runed benefit in place of Inner Sanctuary. This lets us use what would have been a mantra skill slot for something else. Innas 2p & 4p - This doubles the base effect of our mantras and gives our whole party all base mantra effects at the same time. Reduces the number of items needed for set bonuses by 1 (to a minimum of 2).

( 2) Set: Every time you spend primary resource, gain 6% increased Attack Speed, Damage, and Armor for 5 seconds.
