Very fun and engaging build to play. You won’t get bored since the build is shattering the full screen of mobs while moving through the maps or any content you decide to do.

  • High damage
  • Can be played as a league starter

Awesome helm to have almost for any build. Use rare helm with high life and elemental resistances till you get your hands on Crown of the Inward Eye.


Body Armour

Inpulsa's Broken Heart

One of the best chests there are for the clear speed and is very affordable. Use rare chest with life and elemental resistances till you get Inpulsa’s Broken Heart.

Hrimsorrow are kind of requirement for the damage conversion. Use rare gloves with life and elemental resistances till you get Hrimsorrow gloves.

I would suggest going for Two-Toned boots due to implicit since build uses lots of uniques and capping elemental resistances might get tricky.
