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 Storm Armor power applies, because it uses that skill. Which item is sanctified depends on the version: Aether Walker (Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts), The Twisted Sword (Speed farming) and The Twisted Sword (GR push). 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.
