Geofri's CrestMust-have item for the build to get extra holy relic and some nice resistances.
Body Armour
Dialla's MalefactionCore item of the build, but can be a bit expensive early.
You need 4 green and 2 red sockets on this chest. Socket Empower and Holy Relic in the red sockets, rest of the gems go in the green ones.
Before you can get it, use Tabula Rasa or a rare 6-link with life and resistances.
Gloves
Asenath's Gentle TouchGreat item for some extra clear and safety due to temp chains.
Use regular rare gloves with high life and resistances until you can get this.

3) Increased minion damage mod
Offhand
SvalinnOur ideal shield for the build is Svalinn, but it’s an endgame option.
Before you can afford it, get rare shield with as high block chance as possible, high life and resistances.
Jewel
Jewel SetupBuild uses 2 unique jewels – Amanamu’s Gaze for damage and Elegant Hubris (Caspiro version) to convert Mind over Matter into Supreme Ostentation, that way fixing attribute issues.
