Weapon
You will be using a unique most of the time but there is a transition period between the leaguestarter set and when you acquire a Cane of Kulemak where you may use a wand. In that case look for these stats:

- Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier

- Increased Spell Damage / Increased Chaos Damage
- High Energy Shield Value / Maximum Life if not Chaos Inoculation
