Gloves

Increased damage with hits against chilled enemies would be an amazing extra mod to have.

Mark of The ShaperGreat offensive ring for the build. Get it as soon as it drops in price, which should happen a few days after people have started farming Uber Elder.
Right Ring
Rare Ring with Elder InfluenceLook for rare ring with Elder influence to synergize with Mark of The Shaper.
Amulet
Presence of ChayulaGreat defensive amulet for the build – gives us a lot of extra ES, stun immunity and huge amount of chaos resistance.

2Hand Weapon
Tremor RodTremor Rod is an insanely good weapon for its price, so we are using it for the build. Get it as soon as you can.
Jewel
Jewel SetupBuild uses Energy from within for extra ES.
For even more defense, you could use Watcher’s Eye with Gain x% of Maximum Mana as Extra Maximum Energy Shield while affected by clarity, but it will probably be expensive.
On rare jewels look for following mods:
1.) Increased spell damage while wielding a staff
2.) Increased maximum energy shield
3.) Attributes / Resistances if you need them
Flask
Flask SetupBuild uses following flasks:
1.) Dying Sun
2.) Bottled Faith (If you can afford it) / Rumi’s Concoction
3.) Lavianga’s Wisdom
4.) Diamond Flask with freeze removal
5.) Quicksilver Flask of Adrenaline
