SPIRITBORN THRASH + SEPAZONTEC
Last updated: 2026-05-08

SHORT ANSWER

Best practical target:
  Spirit Hall: Primary Jaguar / Secondary Jaguar
  Helm: Heir of Perdition
  Chest: Tyrael's Might
  Gloves: Paingorger's Gauntlets
  Rings: Peacemonger's Signet + Band of First Breath
  Weapon: Sepazontec
  Key passive: Prodigy's Tempo
  Thrash upgrade: Crashing for damage, Cooldown if uptime feels bad
  Ravager upgrade: Carnage once uptime is stable

Best current/no-mythic route:
  Spirit Hall: Primary Eagle / Secondary Jaguar
  Helm: Harmony of Ebewaka
  Chest: Tyrael's Might
  Gloves: Paingorger's Gauntlets
  Ring: Ring of Starless Skies as a stat stick
  Key passive: Prodigy's Tempo

Why:
  Eagle/Jaguar solves Vulnerable uptime now.
  Jaguar/Jaguar wins damage later if Vulnerable is already solved.
  Peacemonger + First Breath is the strongest ring target pair for this plan.
  Starless is useful now, but mostly as attack speed + crit chance. Its spender power is off-plan.


SIM SNAPSHOT

Conservative local calculator, Ravager trigger mode = cast:
  Current no-mythic best:
    Eagle/Jaguar + Harmony + current gear = 147.54 score

  Target no-mythic best:
    Eagle/Jaguar + Harmony + Tyrael + Paingorger + Peacemonger + First Breath = 204.98 score

  Target mythic best:
    Jaguar/Jaguar + Heir + Tyrael + Paingorger + Peacemonger + First Breath = 290.99 score

Interpretation:
  Do not force Jaguar/Jaguar early unless Vulnerable is covered.
  Do not replace Tyrael with Jacinth unless cooldown uptime is the real blocker.


LOOT FILTER

Always show:
  Sepazontec
  Peacemonger's Signet
  Band of First Breath
  Harmony of Ebewaka
  Heir of Perdition
  Harlequin Crest
  Andariel's Visage
  Scorn of the Earth
  Jacinth Shell
  Paingorger's Gauntlets
  Tyrael's Might

High priority stats:
  Attack Speed
  Crit Chance
  Lucky Hit Chance
  Basic Skill ranks
  Thrash ranks
  Cooldown Reduction
  Dexterity
  Max Life
  Armor
  Resistances
  Damage Reduction
  Block Chance if using Interdiction + Redirected Force
  Resolve generation / max Resolve if available

Useful but lower:
  Vulnerable Damage
  Crit Damage
  Damage to Close
  Damage to Crowd Controlled
  Damage to Elites

Usually hide/deprioritize:
  Core Skill ranks
  Vigor cost reduction
  Resource generation unless testing a spender loop
  Overpower
  Thorns
  Poison-only scaling
  Centipede-only scaling
  Ultimate-only damage


GEAR PLAN

Weapon:
  Sepazontec locked.
  Look for best Basic damage roll and useful offensive affixes.

Helm:
  Current practical: Harmony of Ebewaka for Eagle/Jaguar.
  Best damage chase: Heir of Perdition.
  Safe mythic alternate: Harlequin Crest.
  Proc/sustain alternate: Andariel's Visage.
  Loyalty's Mantle only for matched Spirit Hall, mainly Jaguar/Jaguar.

Chest:
  Keep Tyrael's Might.
  Test Jacinth Shell only if cooldown uptime is the failure point and life sustain is stable.

Gloves:
  Keep Paingorger's Gauntlets.
  They are on-plan because non-Basic hits mark, then Thrash echoes Basic damage.

Rings:
  Best pair: Peacemonger's Signet + Band of First Breath.
  Current placeholder: Starless Skies.
  Avoid Ring of Midnight Sun unless adding real Vigor spend.

Boots:
  Scorn of the Earth is a test piece if using Eagle / Evade / Paingorger.
  Otherwise use legendary boots for movement, defense, and aspect room.


LEGENDARY CODEX / ASPECT POWERS

Aspect priority:
  S tier:
    Moonrise: Basic hits stack attack speed; at max stacks gives Basic damage and movement.
    Rapid: direct Basic attack speed.
    Duelist's: raises max Ferocity, so it raises the attack-speed ceiling and Peacemonger payoff.
    Fell Soothsayer's: Incarnate casts apply Vulnerable; Vulnerable kills echo damage.
    Interdiction: Resolve stacks become Block Chance.
    Redirected Force: Block Chance becomes Crit Damage; doubled briefly after Blocking.
    Might: Basic Skills grant Damage Reduction.

  A tier / conditional:
    Unyielding Hits: strong only if Armored Hide / Gorilla uptime is reliable.
    Retribution: good only if Revealing / Knock Down / Stun uptime is real.
    Conceited: good only if Barrier uptime is real.
    Inner Calm: bossing option if you can stand still and swing.

  Test only:
    Starving Ravager: only if a real Vigor loop keeps Ravager up.
    Adaptability: resource generation is not the main constraint.
    Edgemaster's: weaker here because this build is not spending Primary Resource.
    Accelerating: off-plan because it wants Core Skill crits, not Basic spam.

Aspect type / slot pressure:
  Offensive:
    Moonrise
    Rapid
    Redirected Force
    Unyielding Hits
    Retribution
    Conceited
    Inner Calm
    Edgemaster's

  Defensive:
    Interdiction
    Might

  Utility:
    Duelist's
    Fell Soothsayer's

Current unique setup leaves these imprint slots:
  Weapon Sepazontec: no aspect.
  Helm Harmony/Heir/etc: no aspect if unique.
  Chest Tyrael: no aspect.
  Gloves Paingorger: no aspect.
  Ring Starless: no aspect.
  Open legendary slots: amulet, one ring, pants, boots.

Current imprint loadout:
  Amulet:
    Moonrise.
    This should get the amulet bonus because it is the build's best generic Basic multiplier.

  Ring:
    Rapid.
    If Rapid is already elsewhere, use Redirected Force only when Interdiction/Resolve is online.

  Pants:
    Might for pushing/survival.
    Interdiction instead if Peacemonger/Resolve is online and Block scaling matters.

  Boots:
    Fell Soothsayer's if Vulnerable is not permanent.
    Duelist's if Vulnerable is solved and Ferocity scaling is the bottleneck.

Target Peacemonger + First Breath setup:
  Both ring aspect slots disappear.
  Keep Moonrise on amulet.
  Use pants for Might or Interdiction.
  Use boots for Fell Soothsayer's or Duelist's.
  If helm is legendary instead of unique, put the missing Utility aspect there.
  If chest is legendary instead of Tyrael, put the missing Defensive aspect there.

Full legendary fallback setup:
  Amulet: Moonrise.
  Ring 1: Rapid.
  Ring 2: Redirected Force if Interdiction/Resolve is online; otherwise Retribution/Conceited/Inner Calm.
  Helm: Duelist's or Fell Soothsayer's.
  Chest: Might or Interdiction.
  Gloves: Rapid if not on ring; otherwise best offensive fallback.
  Pants: the other Defensive aspect.
  Boots: the other Utility aspect.

Tempers to show:
  Chance for Thrash to deal double damage.
  Basic Skill damage.
  Jaguar / Thrash attack speed.
  Ravager duration.
  Chance for Ravager to deal double damage.
  Lucky Hit Chance.
  Armored Hide / Resolve / Barrier uptime.
  Armor, resists, max life as needed.

Masterworking order:
  1. Attack Speed.
  2. Crit Chance.
  3. Cooldown Reduction.
  4. Basic Skill / Thrash ranks or Sepazontec power.
  5. Defensive caps: armor, resists, max life, damage reduction.


SKILL BAR

1. Thrash
2. Ravager
3. Soar
4. Armored Hide
5. Counterattack or Scourge
6. The Hunter

Skill notes:
  Thrash is the damage engine.
  Ravager is mandatory for extra strikes and proc density.
  Soar is Vulnerable/mobility.
  Armored Hide is Unstoppable/Resolve/defense.
  Counterattack is dodge/defense.
  Scourge is the swap if Vulnerable or control feels weak.
  The Hunter is Jaguar burst and high hit count.


SKILL UPGRADES

Thrash:
  Use Crashing for best damage.
  Use Cooldown if Ravager, Soar, or Armored Hide uptime is not stable.
  Ramping is fine for bossing, but Crashing simmed higher under current assumptions.

Ravager:
  Use Duration while gearing or if uptime feels bad.
  Use Carnage once uptime is stable.
  Use Flurry only if cooldown cycling is still weak.

Key passive:
  Prodigy's Tempo.
  Adaptive Stances is test-only if attack speed feels better than ranks.
  Avoid Vital Strikes for this pure Basic/Vulnerable uptime plan.


PARAGON BOARDS

Board order:
  1. Start
  2. In-Fighter
  3. Revealing
  4. Prodigy's Tempo
  5. Drive
  6. Convergence if points remain

Take legendary nodes:
  In-Fighter:
    Dodge or Block gives attack speed and multiplicative damage.

  Revealing:
    Lucky Hit knocks down Vulnerable enemies and gives multiplicative damage.

  Prodigy's Tempo:
    Thrash spam keeps the Basic repeat buff active for purchased skill ranks.

  Drive:
    Better if using Evade, Scorn, or Band of First Breath heavily.

Skip unless experimenting:
  Spiney Skin
  Bitter Medicine
  Viscous Shield unless barrier scaling becomes a real plan


GLYPHS

Priority glyphs:
  Menagerist
  Spirit
  Colossal
  Hone
  Exploit
  Jagged Plume
  Turf
  Outmatch

Suggested placement:
  Start:
    Spirit

  In-Fighter:
    Colossal if Peacemonger/Resolve is online
    Hone if not

  Revealing:
    Menagerist

  Prodigy's Tempo:
    Hone or Jagged Plume

  Drive:
    Exploit if Vulnerable is not solved
    Turf if survival is the problem
    Outmatch if bossing is the problem

Glyph leveling order:
  1. Menagerist
  2. Spirit
  3. Colossal if Peacemonger is equipped
  4. Hone
  5. Exploit if Vulnerable is not solved
  6. Jagged Plume for Eagle setups
  7. Turf for pushing survival


WHEN TO SWITCH

Stay Eagle/Jaguar if:
  Vulnerable uptime is not permanent.
  You do not have Peacemonger + First Breath.
  You are still using Harmony.
  Survival or smoothness matters more than top DPS.

Switch to Jaguar/Jaguar if:
  Vulnerable uptime is solved.
  You have Peacemonger + First Breath.
  You have Heir of Perdition or a strong matched-spirit helm plan.
  You can keep attacking without downtime.


FAILURE CHECKLIST

If damage is bad:
  Get attack speed.
  Get Vulnerable uptime.
  Get Peacemonger.
  Get First Breath.
  Level Menagerist and Spirit.
  Check that Moonrise and Rapid are active.

If cooldown feel is bad:
  Use Cooldown Thrash.
  Use Duration Ravager.
  Test Jacinth Shell.
  Add CDR on gear.
  Consider Harlequin Crest.

If survival is bad:
  Keep Tyrael.
  Cap armor and resists.
  Add max life.
  Add damage reduction.
  Use Turf.
  Use Might aspect if needed.
  Do not switch out of Eagle/Jaguar too early.

If Starless feels wasted:
  It is probably working only as a stat stick.
  Replace with Peacemonger or Band of First Breath when available.
