RareRare Helm with high energy shield and resistances. Consider a helm with reservation efficiency to help out with the mana reservation.
Body Armour
The Restless WardPerfect and quite cheap body armour for trickster as it perfectly synergizes with the ascendancy we are running.
Use any rare chest with evasion and elemental resistances until you find or purchase The Restless Ward.
Gloves
Entropic DevastationOur core item which allows our Bladefall to impale the targets. It can be quite expensive, but build can be played without it as well, until you farm up enough currency to purchase the gloves.
Boots
Rare BootsRare boots with high energy shield, movement speed and at least 50% chance to avoid elemental ailments.
Paired with Ancestral Vision Jewel, we are immune to elemental ailments.
Left Ring
Rare RingImportant!
We require % reduced mana cost of skills on our ring paired with “Non-channeling skills have -# to total mana cost” in order to spam Bladefall.
Rest of the stats depend on what is lacking, but I suggest going for cast speed, maximum energy shield and elemental resistances.
Right Ring
Rare RingStats on ring depend on what is lacking.
I suggest going for cast speed, maximum energy shield, elemental resistances or critical strike multiplier.
Amulet
Replica Dragonfang's FlightI would consider this amulet core item for the build, as there is almost nothing else that compares to the damage we get from +3 to all Bladefall gems.
Depending on popularity of the build, this amulet can be expensive.
Belt
Rare BeltPrioritize a belt with increased maximum energy shield, elemental resistances and reduced flask charges used.
1Hand Weapon
Rare WandRare wand with global critical strike multiplier, spell damage and all physical spell damage skill gems or all spell skill gems, depending on which one is easier to acquire.
Absolute BiS wand would combine them both for total of + 2 skills.
Offhand
Rare ShieldRare shield with spell suppression, evasion, high energy shield.
For damage mods, look for chance to deal double damage or increased spell critical strike chance.
Jewel
Watcher's EyeLook for “Impales you inflict last 2 additional hits while using pride” and for spell damage suppression while affected by grace.
We socket the jewel next to the Fervour and Heartseeker notables.
Jewel
Ancestral VisionAncestral Vision can be socketed in any free jewel socket. Paired with boots, it should make us immune to elemental ailments.
Jewel
Elegant HubrisElegant Hubris is socketed in the jewel socket next to the scion start to allocate Gemling Training, Eternal Fervour, Eternal Bloodlust.
