Gear Set-up

Unique Set-up

For this build you cannot run it without Okun's Catalyst, this makes your Ball Lightning orbit around you, it also leaves you Unhindered allowing you to pass through enemies without being blocked. Galvanic Azurite magnetizes enemies, which pulls them together and generates Crackling Energy which is used to increase your damage and regenerate you Mana. Combine this with Raiment of the Infinite which causes your Teleport to pull close enemies in.

The real heavy hitter comes in the form of Orsivane which gives massive damage boosts for each Defensive Skill you leave off the bar. The great thing about this, is that you gain the Enchantment abilities for each of the Defensive Skills left off the bar i.e. Flame Shield Enchantment is Losing 30% of your life within 2 seconds automatically casts Flame Shield. This can only happen once every 21 seconds. Normally you need to have this equipped, but by using Orsivane you just automatically get that Enchantment to activate.

Temerity allows us to use Healing Potions even when we are at Maximum Life and because we are running Orsivane, any time we use a Healing Potion we gain Ice Armor.

Mythic Set-up

For this set up, you'll have a choice of helmets with Harlequin Crest which is a better choice for overworld content, and Heir of Perdition for more Movement Speed and Critical Strike Chance. We're also replacing Tal Rasha's Iridescent Loop with the Ring of Starless Skies. This will not only add damage, but also help with Mana management as well. Lastly we replace out Chest Piece with Shroud of False Death. This is a really strong option as it adds +1 to all defensive and offensive Passives.

Mana Management

Early on, adding Resource Cost Reduction onto your gear will help a lot. You can also add on Mana Per Second. The Rune combinations below will also help you with you Mana issues.

For the overworld Mana Issues

• Ahu + Lum
• Igni + Lum
• Zan + Lum
• Bac + Lum
• Lith + Lum
