Use rare helm with life, armour and elemental resistances while you can afford or drop Abyssus.
Body Armour
Rare Body ArmourFocus on getting chest with as high armour as possible, ideally with 3-3.5k (end game 3.8-4k), high life and elemental resistances.
Boots
Rare BootsRare boots with high armour, high movement speed, life and elemental resistances.
In endgame, we want boots with total 100% chance to avoid being Shocked.
This is achieved by Eldritch implicit modifier + rolling the mod on boots itself. Total should be 100%, as we utilize Stormshroud Unique Jewel, which makes us immune to all Elemental Ailments.

Amulet
Ashes of the StarsSuch an amazing amulet for so many builds, and this build no exception.
Amulet can be expensive at times, but this is not a deal-breaker. Use rare amulet with flat physical damage, critical strike multiplier, life or elemental resistances.
Some accuracy or stats also doesn’t hurt, lots of useful stats to be had on ammy.
Belt
HeadhunterEnd goal for the build is headhunter, which is now as obtainable as ever.
While farming for headhunter, any rare belt with high life, elemental resistances and elemental attack damage will do just fine.
2Hand Weapon
Ezomyte StaffEzomyte Staff base is one of the best bases as it offers high block chance paired with good attack speed and physical damage.
Get as high physical roll as possible, ideally, paired with global critical strike multiplier.
Jewel
Lethal PrideWe want to socket the jewel next to the Endurance notable on the upper left side of the tree.
Jewel
StormshroudCan be socketed pretty much anywhere. Put it in the the socket next to Unwavering Stance keystone as other jewels have better use of placement locations.
This jewel is reason we needed 100% chance to avoid being Shocked, which makes us immune to elemental ailments.
