Helmet

Rare Helm

Important to craft or buy a helm with increased mana reservation efficiency.

Also, look to get high maximum life and spell suppression.


Body Armour

Rare Body Armor

Rare body armor with spell suppression, high maximum life and elemental resistances.


Gloves

Rare Gloves

Cheap option for gloves would be to get life, attack speed and spell suppression.

Best in slot gloves would need Non-vaal strike skills target 1 additional nearby enemy, high life, elemental resistances or spell suppression and attack speed.


Boots

Rare Boots

Rare booth with elemental ailments avoidance, high movement speed and life.

Perfect boots would also include chance to gain onslaught, but getting such a pair could get expensive really quickly.


Left Ring

The Taming

We run double taming rings as they are just perfect for this LS build. At the beginning of league they can get quite pricy, but they are worth it.

If you are low on currency, running rare rings with life, elemental damage and stats would be perfectly fine.


Right Ring

The Taming

2x Tamings are perfect for build, but using well rolled rare rings is perfectly fine as well.


Amulet

Carnage Heart

Very, very cheap and very strong amulet to get you rolling. Help to cap elemental resistances, stats and increased damage while leeching, which we are doing pretty much all the time!

Use a rare amulet with life and resistances until you get your hands on Carnage Heart!


Belt

Rare Stygian Vise

Rare stygian vise belt rolled with high life, elemental resistances and strength.

Increased elemental damage is also a great bonus to boost up DPS!


1Hand Weapon

Rare Claw

Look for highest possible elemental damage claw you can find, paired with attack speed.

Critical strike chance is great extra as it will boost the overall damage!


Offhand

Rare Shield

Rare shield with high life, attack speed and accuracy, as build needs it!


Jewel

Rare Abyss Jewel

Important! Get abyss jewel with chance to avoid being shocked.

Rest of the stats are secondary, but generally you can’t go wrong with maximum life and added elemental damage using claws or one-hand weapons.

Thanks to synergy from Stormshroud, we will be immune to elemental ailments!

Goal is to get 100% elemental ailment avoidance from jewel and boots!


Jewel

Stormshroud

Jewel is required to get 100% elemental ailment avoidance from abyss jewel and boots.
