Flask Modifiers

For your utility flasks, I will always recommend the prefix modifier x% increased duration pre-

Mageblood or %Increased effect post-

Mageblood. As for your suffix modifiers you want all of the following combination across any of your remaining suffixes post-

Mageblood (for pre-mageblood flasks consult the PoB):

#% Additional Elemental Resistances During Effect
#% Increased Critical Strike Chance During Effect
#% Chance to Avoid Being Shocked During Effect
#% Increased Armour 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.

Jewels

Look for the following modifiers on your jewels listed in order of priority:

% Increased Maximum Energy Shield
% Critical Strike Multiplier for Spell Damage
