Gear

This is a detailed explanation of why I wear these items, based on a gear level somewhere between Endgame and God PoB’s.

Helm

An armour/evade base is ideal, pure evasion works also. Both of the implicits here are aimed at fitting in our auras and sustaining mana so don’t forget them. Accuracy is important for maximizing DPS, but it doesn’t have to be here, it can also be on gloves or ring.

Amulet

Any +1 to lightning/fire/cold gems with life/resist will last you a long time. Upgrading to +2 is massive when you can afford it. The -mana cost can be skipped depending on your situation.

Chest

Skin of the Lords Skin of the Lords with Elemental Overload.

In the early phases, wear Skin of the Loyal Skin of the Loyal and path over to Elemental Overload.

Boots

Using Stormshroud it’s very easy to achieve ailment immunity with just the boot slot. Roll something decent with Deafening Essence of Torment Deafening Essence of Torment then craft the Eldritch implicits.

Gloves

This is a massive slot for DPS, both implicits are powerful while being easy to roll yourself with eldritch orbs. Open prefix for leech damage, plus high life and however much resist you can get can run quite expensive but it’s worth it. Spell suppress is not always needed here, it depends on the rest of your gear.

Belt

Life and flask stuff here, plus damage. The flask gain is most important, get that plus life and resists first.

Shield

Armour/evasion base, or pure evasion if you must. Spell suppression plus ailment makes this a huge defensive slot so if you are dying a lot get those covered.

Rings

Perfect place to cover accuracy, attributes, or resists that you are missing. Plus life and elemental attack damage.

Jewels

Uniques

  • Watcher's Eye Watcher's Eye: The end goal here is “% attack damage with Precision” plus a Determination mod. You can go for phys damage reduction, armour or reduced critical damage with Determination they are all good.
  • Impossible Escape Impossible Escape: Wind Dancer impossible escape gives access to a ton of valuable nodes without having to path to them. Not required until you upgrade to the Skin of the Lords chest armour.
  • Brutal Restraint Brutal Restraint: When the jewel says Balbala for the name, it will turn any keystones in radius into The Traitor. Plus it gives stuff like stun avoid, projectile damage, flask charge gain, etc.

Cluster Jewels

Large: Feed the Fury and Martial Prowess are most important if you can only get two, but it is worth upgrading to the 3 node later on as it helps when min/maxing gear.

Medium: We use 3 of these, all the same with Eye to Eye + Repeater. Both of these are very high value nodes.

Small: Enduring composure gives us reliable endurance charge generation, and we can score some attributes and/or resists here as well.

Flasks

Life

Sapphire+Topaz

Check this out for more info on crafting flasks: Flask Crafting Guide

Explosive Concoction Explosive Concoction will consume charges from these flasks without activating them, so the best thing here is to craft “Gain Charges when you are Hit by an Enemy “ or “% increased charges gained” combined with the charge gain implicit. This implicit has no downside for us.

Utility

Since we need topaz and sapphire, plus an open slot for The Traitor, there is only one available utility slot. I usually run a granite.
