Build Overview
People is hyped around the freshly buffed Trozan and here I am trying to make the new Iskandra work.
So yeah, this is a Trozan Sky Shard build made with the redesigned Iskandra set. The set provide a massive +%elemental damage, almost fully converting aether to elemental, and give massive damage to TSS. However, TSS cannot work by itself because it’s a CD based skill, thus need additional skill and proc to accompanying them. This build solved that problem with a lot of short CD damaging proc from item and devo.
To make all of them proc consistently, we utilize storm box + lightning tether, also word of pain for proc machine. Both of this proccing item and devo massively. Giving massive AoE and clearing trash fast. TSS nuke is used for single target damage and small AoE.
On defense, we have prismatic diamond proc, decent wraithwalker proc, flat absorb from Inquisitor seal + Phoenix Fire, censure reduced damage, Mirror of Ereoctes for panic button, and nullification. Use nullification generously for both offense and defense.
Equipment Choices
Try to get maximum CDR, maximum Aether>Elemental conversion, and Craft equipment at Kaylon for stun res. Aim for at least additional 10% for each piece.
Core Items:
Iskandra’s Unification Set:
Main Hand: Mythical Trozan’s Starkeeper. [BiS for any TSS build]
Rings: 2x Mythical Reign of Ice and Fire. [Very damaging proc which also leech. With storm box, it will create a whirlpool.]
Gloves: Cindertouch. [No proc build can exist without this item. (except maybe bonemonger)]
Relic: Ignaffar’s Combustion. [Mage hunter need RR. Get +Aura of censure for completion bonus]
Supporting Items:
Pants: Mythical Eastern Legguards. [Relevant +skills and good stats overall.]
Boots: Mythical Wraithwalkers. [This slot is flexible, I use it to cover for stun res. Use whatever you like]
Belt: Mythical Phantom-Thread Girdle. [Full offensive arcanist belt giving monstrous OA]
Medal: Luminari Commendation. [I just want to have more + to inquisitor seal, also DA.]
Movement Rune: Use whatever you like. I use rune of Ultos’ Arrival at the moment.

Build Performance
Crucible:
Update 1. For 170 Crucible, video with 4 buff without banner:
6:10 clear time. Yes, this is a NO BANNER run.
Old video with arcanoweave cord belt, still without banner:
https://youtu.be/Jm1EL0fVNPk
6:40 clear time.
Should be even faster if you meet no korvaak and zantarin.
Shattered Realm:
Will be check later, but I think it should be good.
This is one of the best build I made. Enjoy the new Iskandra!
