On the season theme

In Season 40, Angelic Crucibles sanctify a legendary item: perfect Ancient-level stats plus one of three powers of your class at random. You can only wear one Sanctified item at a time. For this build the Death Nova power applies, because it uses that skill. The Army of the Dead power works regardless of your skill bar. This build sanctifies Trag'Oul's Corroded Fang, marked in the gear above. Since the power is rolled at random, a Sanctified item can be sanctified again with another Crucible. All powers are listed on the Season 40 page.
