Due to the latest balancing changes, we do not recommend playing this build anymore, as it does not meet the high standards we apply to our guides in terms of fun and performance. We are leaving it up as a reference and it might be revived in a later patch.

Gear Overview

Below are two sets of gear. One Extremely Low Budget league-starter set and One Medium-High budget Endgame set. The Provided PoB also has sets to transition in-between and beyond these two.

Flask Modifiers

For your utility flasks I will always recommend the prefix modifier x% increased duration. As for your suffix modifiers you want all of the following combination across any of your remaining suffixes:
  • #% Increased Evasion Rating During Effect
  • #% Increased Movement Speed During Effect
  • #% Increased Block and Stun Recovery During Effect

For your Life Flasks, I recommend either #% increased Amount Recovered, #% increased Charges per use as your prefix and the following as your suffix (The Suffix is much more important than the prefix):
  • Grants Immunity to Bleeding for # seconds if used while Bleeding, Grants Immunity to Corrupted Blood for # seconds if used while affected by Corrupted Blood.

  1. Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier

  5. Chaos Damage
