TbXie's Wave of Conviction Ignite Elementalist Gear, Jewels & Flasks (PoE Necropolis)
Summary – TL;DR
As per usual, nothing matters more than capping your Elemental Resistance before anything else. This means modifiers on gear are subordinate to Resistances as long as you’re not capped. Since you’ll be running a decent amount of Unique items, it’ll be important to look out for a lot of resistances on your Rare pieces!
We’re providing you with an extensive analysis further down the page but chose to start off with an overview / recommendation.

Armour Pieces
Helmet
Your Helmet is supposed to be an Armour/Evasion base (or an Evasion Base) where you’re going to be looking to fit some Spell Suppression, life & the necessary resistances. If you’re able to find one like this with an open prefix, you could be crafting some Physical Damage conversion on the crafting bench. Finishing this off with Phys taken as Fire & an Elemental Weakness Curse effect Eldrtich Implicit would net you a solid helmet pre-Diadem.
The lategame version will obviously be The Devouring Diadem
Body Armour
In this slot you’re looking for a necessary amount of Suppression. You could get a bit more than suggested in one place & get less elsewhere, obviously. You’re in charge of deciding which piece you want to have solve what issue.
Anyhow, on top of suppression, you ideally want some resistance, a huge amount of Evasion & ideally an open prefix so you can craft the Physical damage conversion mod again. This craft is unlocked by unveiling chest pieces found from Gravicius in the Betrayal encounters.
As per implicits, you want Increased Effect of Curses & Determination Aura Effect from the Eldrich Ichors.
Gloves
Vaal Caress gives you so much DPS that it’s impossible to pass up on. Don’t invest in the Glove slot as history shows that this unique will be accesible to everyone on day 2 of the League for just a few chaos orbs.
Boots
A pretty repetitive guide section, it feels like. Again, on boots, you’re going to need suppression to cap. As per usual, movement speed is important and you want it to be paired with ideally some Dexterity, some Resistance & Life.
As per Eldritch implicits, dropping Scorched Ground is a huge multiplier to daamge & “Ignites deal damage Faster” is another big multiplier. Those are pretty big for your damage and I’d argue these are a good place to use your Lesser Eldritch Ichor and Lesser Eldritch Ember.
Belt
This is where you find your needed Strength and pair with as much life & resistances as you can afford. If you don’t need a lot of resistances here, a Flask modifier such as “Reduced Flask Charges used” is a pretty nice QoL as it allows you more uptime on your super potent Flasks.
Accessories
Amulet
Your necklace is, again, a Source of Strength and Dexterity. It is very hard to get by with an amulet that’s not a Citrine Amulet base. As per modifiers on it, you would want high Life, high Damage over Time Multiplier and either resistances, necessary attributes or a damage craft.
Another option is to run the Replica Dragonfang's Flight. This would save you the Enlighten level 4 at the cost of 1 Skill Point (30 Dexterity) & does spike up your damage by approximately 10%.
Anoint
You need to anoint Dirty Techniques as increasing the speed at which your ignite rolls for no downside is pretty big.
Rings
You’re definitely running a Berek’s Respite. It’s just super nice to play with and you can get it for cheap, usually. Your second ring slots will eventually be filled up with a Polaric Devastation. Before obtaining a copy of those, your second ring just feels the need for Resistance & Life.
Weapon
Early on, Singularity is just a sick unique. It can carry you through T16’s easily, which is quite insane for a cheap weapon to be honest. Later on you would want a +2 Sceptre with a multimodded Fire Damage, Fire Damage over Time Multiplier & ideally another offensive modifier.
Flasks
Our recommendation:
Slot | Flask |
1 | Effusive Divine Life Flask of the Sealing |
2 | Granite Flask of the Tortoise |
3 | Jade Flask of the Deer |
4 | Quartz Flask of Curlew |
5 | Quicksilver Flask of the Ibex |
It does not matter which affixes you roll on wich Flasks but just make sure you have the affixes somewhere. For example, we’re suggesting to pick up a Granite Flask “of the Tortoise” which gives you “% increased Armour during Flask Effect”. Now, this additional armour can also be rolled on the Jade Flask and the affix which is recommended on the Jade Flask would then go on the Granite.

Jewels
Regular Jewels
You’re going to need a single Mana Reservation Efficiency roll on one of your Jewels for the endgame. Other than that, Life is king. Try to couple the % increase Life with Damage over Time Multiplier, Fire Damage over Time Multiplier, Increase Burning Damage or Increased Fire Damage.
