Eye of ChayulaRight Ring
Doedre's DamningBelt
Crystal BeltStat priority:
1) Energy Shield
2) Resistances
Note:
Chain Belt will do just fine, Crystal Belts are expensive at start of the league.
Offhand
Titanium Spirit ShieldStat priority:
1) Energy Shield
2) Resistances
Note:
Endgame – Look for 400+ ES at least.
Right Ring
Two-Stone RingGet anything on the ring that you’re lacking, either resstances or stats. Cast speed is nice on the ring too.
Body Armour
Vaal RegaliaStat priority:
1) Energy Shield
2) Resistances
Note:
6-linked Vaal Regalia is your ultimate endgame goal, look for at least 600-700 ES
Infernal Mantle works too, it has solid 500 ES and is usually very cheap
Hit once, hit hard. DO NOT SPAM flameblast. Build is made to utilize Beacon of Ruin, built-in proliferation mechanic. Move from pack to pack, cast once, everything dies. Cast Orb of Storms occasionally to proc Elemental Overload. Orb of Storms linked to Curse on Hit support gem applies Elemental Weakness and Flammability will melt anything in your path + it procs Elemental Equilibrium.
Could you clear Up what would be stat priority for this build in jewel wise?
Also which flask are important to this build and can you also explain if the 3 points into flask recovery and effect are necessary?
You could go for increased fire damage, spell damage, %increased energy shield. Priority isn’t carved in stone – get what you are lacking, be it damage, energy shield, resists or attributes.
Flask recovery and effect is really underrated, it’s definitely worth it.
Hey, you have the offhand listed, but nothing for the main hand slot?
Perhaps Apep’s would work?
Yes, there’s a mistake there, you should use wand with as high spell damage as you can find, cast speed is a good bonus.
If I understand it correctly, spell damage is really bad because it doesn’t double-dip.
Also, in the items section you don’t mention boots. I guess any 30%ms res boots with good ES will work.
Also no mention of which Jewels to put in the 5 slots?
apep’s in main hand is bad due to 40% increased mana cost, this build is mana intensive
i would think maybe heartbreaker (unique dagger could be good)
Hey thanks for that, appreciate the reply. What about the Jewels?
For jewels take anything with %spell damage, %cast speed, %increased ES (Whichever you need the most, damage or def) 🙂
For weapon the BIS is Doryanis catalyst (Atziri sceptre) Since it double dips on your ignite damage. It also gives leech and cast speed which are both amazing
boots?
