October 31st, 2025, 18:45

We’ll go over the various gear pieces in this budget one by one, highlighting why you want what you want.

Helmet

The base we want here is Lich’s Circlet

We’re looking for the following:

1. #% increased Energy Shield.
2. +# to maximum Energy Shield.
3. +2 to to level of all Minion Skill Gems (you will need to fracture this modifier).
4. A high resistance.
5. An attribute roll ideally, or space for a crafted double attribute.

Edlritch Implicits here are “Minions have #% increased Maximum Life” and “#% of physical damage taken as chaos”

Body Armour

The base you’ll want here is a Necrotic Armour

We’re looking for the following:

1.T1/2 Evasion/Energy Shield in all three prefixes.
2. A suppression roll, anything of 15% or higher will do.
3. Intelligence.
4. Open Suffix to craft “regenerate Energy Shield per second while” modifier.
Fracture #% Evasion/Energy Shield

Eldritch Implicits are #% Critical Strike Multiplier for Spell Damage and Physical damage taken as Chaos, high-tier preferable.

Gloves

The base we want here is Evasion/Energy Shield, high values. Preferably Phantom, but if you find the fracture on a lower base, you can settle.

We’re looking for the following:

1. +2 to Level of Socketed Minion Gems (fracture).
2. Chance to Suppress Spell Damage. Any roll is usually fine here; a high roll permits a lower roll on the chest (and lower implicit here).
3. #% increased Evasion/Energy Shield.
4. Hybrid flat Evasion/Energy Shield.
5. Intelligence.
6. Crafted double attribute suffix.

Eldritch Implicits are #%Chance to Suppress Spell damage and #% Increased Minion Damage.

Boots

The base we want is Evasion/Energy Shield. Preferably Phantom.

We’re looking for the following:

1. Movement speed, 30% or 35%.
2. #% increased Evasion/Energy Shield (Fracture mod, T1).
3. Chance to Suppress Spell Damage, 14% .
4. Hybrid Evasion/Energy Shield.
5. A resistance roll.
6. Crafted Strength/Dexterity.

Eldritch Implicits here will be Sapped Ground and Stun Threshold.

Belt

We’re looking for Stygian here. Crusader influenced (probably slammed on 4 mods).

We’re looking for the following:

1.#% increased maximum Energy Shield.
2. High flat Energy Shield.
3. +45% Cold/Lightning Resistance
4. +45% Cold/Lightning Resistance
5. Regenerate 180 Energy Shield per second while rare is nearby, crafted.

Accessories

Amulet

The amulet we’re looking for is Replica Dragonfang's Flight. Dark Pact variety.

Anoint Force of Darkness

Rings

We’re looking for 2x Bone Ring with the following modifiers:

1. Minions have #% increased maximum Life.
2. Flat Energy Shield.
3. Elemental Resistance of +45% (one on each ring, example Cold-Fire).
4. Crafted -Mana Cost prefix.
5. One of them needs to hold a fat Dexterity roll. Ideally 55+.

Weapon

We’re looking for what is commonly known as a failed minion wand. That is to say, a Convoking Wand with Spell Damage modifiers and level modifiers for minions.

We’re looking for the following stats:

1. Level of all Spell Skill Gems.
2. Level of all Minion Skill Gems.
3. #% increased Spell Damage.
4. #% increased Spell Critical Strike Chance, ideally high.
5. Trigger socketed gems (crafted mod).
6. Veiled suffix, with a preference on cast speed mod. There are options here if you want something else though.

Shield

For the shield we’re looking for a high Energy Shield base, like Titanium Spirit Shield with good Spell Damage modifiers and high Energy Shield.

We’re looking for the following:

1. #%Increased Spell Damage.
2. #% increased Spell Critical Strike Chance.
3. #% increased Energy Shield.
4. +# to maximum Energy Shield.
5. Crafted Suppress modifier, 10%.

Jewels

We’re using a number of jewels in this build, so let’s go over them one by one.

Cluster jewels

Chaos Base damage cluster, 8 points. This is mandatory.

The notables we are looking for are:

- Unholy Grace
- Dark Ideation
- Unwaveringly Evil

We want specifically this combination as it lets us only take Unholy Grace and Unwaveringly Evil and jewel sockets for as few points as possible.

Jewel

We’re looking for normal jewels with a specific set of modifiers, usually found on Cobalt Jewel base.

We’re looking for the following:

1. #% increased Maximum Energy Shield, ideally 7%.
2. Minions have #% increased Maximum Life, 10% or better is good.
3. +#% to Critical Strike Multiplier with Spell Damage.

One of them also needs to carry high Dexterity.

The Balance of Terror

We’re looking for the modifier “Inflict Wither for 2 seconds on hit if you’ve cast Despair in the past 10 seconds” to automate Wither. Elemental Resistance roll here is helpful.

Watcher’s Eye

We dedicate our eyeball entirely to solving defences. We want two Grace modifiers, which we can benefit from courtesy of the Thunderbird Spectre giving us Haste. The mods in question are:

1. #% increased chance to Evade Attack Hits while affected by Grace. 7 or 8%.
2. #% Chance to Suppress Spell Damage while affected by Grace. 15% is the goal here.

Militant Faith, Timeless Jewel

We’re using this jewel primarily because of its keystone “Inner Conviction”. This costs us the concept of Frenzy Charges, but causes us to deal 3% more damage per Power Charge instead. By getting the modifiers Regenerate 0.6% mana per second per devotion and 1% reduced mana Cost of Skills per 10 Devotion, we can greatly help solve our mana problems.
