Uniques
Ring of Writhing Moon allows us to create a swarm circle and provides additional cooldown management.
Harmony of Ebewaka makes all your skills +Eagle skills with
Eagle Secondary Spirit Hall.
Infinity (Polearm) - introduces Crushing Blow mechanic which destroys everything by taking 5% off enRemies' healthincluding bosses! Also massive damage multiplier and tonnes of stats! - You need to keep crafting until you get one with Poison Multiplier then re-roll off gold drop rate to Damage Over Time Multiplier
Key Aspects
Aspect of Infestation - 3x damage multiplier to our swarms
Aspect of Pestilence - another 2x damage multiplier and makes the swarms hit a larger AoE
Aspect of Supremacy - another stacking damage multplier, use
The Devourer whenever off cooldown to keep stacks high
Aspect of Glynn's Anvil - more damage reduction
Amulet
Use the Cube to apply a secondary aspect using the Kullean Tuning Prism - look for
Aspect of Kinetic Suppression
Key Stats
- In this build Damage Over Time Multiplier, Poison Multiplier and Vulnerable Damage Multiplier are key stats. We also want to maximise Ranks to
Counterattack: Counterattack of the Swarm as that will maximise Pestilent Swarm damage! We can do this buy getting: - Ranks to
Counterattack on chest - Ranks to Gorilla/Eagle/Jaguar skills elsewhere - remember thanks to
Harmony of Ebewaka all our skills are now Gorilla/Eagle skills so I recommend those two!
Runes
Igni and
Kry gives us
Vortex
Eth and
Lo gives us 25% Deadly Strike Chance (doubles damage and works with poison unlike Crit Damage)
Tempering
We temper Damage Over Time, Maximum Resolve Stacks and Maximum Life
Transfiguration
By far the best transfiguration for this build is Poison damage
Splinters (S15 Mechanic)
Very powerful! I will list them in descending order of importance:
Splinter of Hellfire - we don't care about crit chance in this build so this is great!
Splinter of Pain - damage reduction
Splinter of the Black Soulstone - stacking damage bonus
