[3.6] CI HoWA Molten Strike Scion (Ascendant)

Great helm for the build – lets us get away with having level 3 Enlighten and giving a nice energy shield boost.

If you can get level 4 Enlighten, a well-rolled Hubris Circlet could probably outscale this item though.

A must have for our build.
We get free elemental damage mitigation since this build is using Chaos Inoculation keystone.

An extremely important unique for the build – it synergyzes really well with the attributes we have giving the build a lots of evasion without investment, free ES from strength and tons of damage from accuracy.

You could try corrupting these gloves later on when they get cheaper.

Sin Trek is perfect for the build with stats such as free attributes and high energy shield and evasion.

Try to get 1-160 lightning damage or 10% penetration enchantment from the Uber Lab.

Le Heup of All is perfect all-around ring for the build – attributes, damage and resistances.

We use 2 of these rings and you should try to get % increased intelligence and strength corruption on them.

Same as the previously mentioned ring.

Ideally you should have rare amulet that has these 2 mods:

% increased attributes and 1% increased damage per 15 intelligence.

You could either buy it or try to craft it yourself – it can be pretty expensive to craft though.

A good alternative is a well-rolled Astramentis.

Cyclopean Coil is also a must have for the build due to the increased attributes. Look for as high roll as possible.

Ideally you would want a well-rolled Cyclopean Coil with %increased intelligence and strength corruption.

An item the build revolves around. Get 2 of them as soon as you can afford it.

Get 2 of these.

This build uses several unique jewels:

3x Fertile mind – 1st goes near Charisma notable, 2nd goes under Profane Chemistry notable and 3rd goes in the jewel slot between Blood Drinker and Mind Drinker.

Watcher’s Eye -(With Gain x% of maximum mana as extra maximum energy shield while affected by Clarity)

Wildfire – limited to 1 in 3.5 patch, it goes in the jewel slot just above Sentinel notable.

Pure Talent – any socket you want.

1.) Increased Lightning damage
2.) Attack speed, attack speed while dual wielding
3.) All resistances if you need them
4.) Intelligence

1.) Atziri’s Promise
2.) The Wise Oak
