Why Fulminate?

• We need 150 Poison Damage to cap our Legendary Node Convergence.

Why Colossal?

• Resolve Stacks.

How much Barrier generation do I need?

• 123% is cap.

Vessel of Hatred has incorporated a "stat squish" along with the new Torment difficulties that make us incur heavy penalties to our Armor and Resistance values. There are various ways to help alleviate this problem:

• • Use Yen's Blessing, it will provide with all the resistances you need and you can use Armor on the gems slot, Replace Xal runes with Kry.

• The Soothing Spices Type II Incense provides 10% All Resistance and 150 Armor.

• The Song of the Mountain Type I Incense provides 200 Armor.

What do I do when I lack Paragon levels?

You do not need all the Paragon Points, feel free to remove damage, mobility or resistances while you grind your levels. What you remove will depend on what your character is lacking.

How much resources are needed? (this is for Banished Lord Talisman Version Only, we might play this in the future

275

Here is a breakdown:

Base 100 Kepeleke 65 (With 3 GA and +12 MW) Paragon 69 (Level 100 Glyph) Spiritual Attunement 40 (Shroud of False Death) Tibault 31 Total 305

There are certain Elixirs and Incenses you can use in the build, here are some I'd recommend.

• Elixir of Resourcefulness is the strongest offensive Elixir as it increases our Rod of Kepeleke multiplier.

• Elixir of Fortitude can be used for defensive.

• Chorus of War is the strongest Type III Incense.

• Soothing Spices is the strongest Type II Incense, providing 10% All Resistance and 150 Armor.
• Song of the Mountain is the strongest Type I Incense as it provides 200 Armor.

The build's strength lies in getting every single Core Skill to inherit Rod of Kepeleke's buff; to do so, we need to combine a specific amount of Resource Generation with Ring of the Midnight Sun.

Ring of the Midnight Sun provides 30-50% of all the Vigor we spent for up to 2 seconds since we last landed a Critical Strike on our next Critical Strike. If we manage to buff that number to 100% through Resource Generation, then every Critical Strike will generate 100% of our Vigor. Since Rod of Kepeleke guarantees Critical Strikes, every cast will generate the same vigor that was spent, solving the issue of Rod of Kepeleke uptime.

The sources of Resource Generation are:

• Measured Ravager
• Vigorous Passive
• Intelligence
• Resource Generation Affixes and Paragon Nodes.
• Affixes on Ring or Yen's Blessing.

Resource Generation is multiplicative, not additive, which makes it a bit difficult to easily calculate. Here's a handy calculator made by Sanctum to know how much Resource Generation you currently have.

We are using Raheir to increase our armor and provide us with Fortify. Varyana is useful to gaine extra attack speed if you are not attack speed capped and can be switched to knockdown if needed.

Masterworking

Masterworking (MW) enhances an item's stats. Each MW rank boosts all affixes by 5%. Ranks 4,8,12 give a 25% bonus to a random affix (MW Crit).

In this planner, the color blue on an item denotes that the affix got one MW Crit, the color yellow denotes that the item got two MW crits and the color orange denotes that the item got three MW crits.

For future reference the amount of MW Crits on an affix will be denoted by 1MW, 2MW, 3MW.

Greater Affixes

Greater Affixes (GA) on an item force the affix to roll at the top of it's range of possible values and then applies a 50% increase to its value. GA increases are additive with Masterworking increases.

In this planner, the yellow star to the left of an affix denotes that is a GA.

Example

To put it all in to practice, let's calculate what stat increase a GA Affix on a 12/12 Masterworked item with 2 MW Crits gets:

Ranks 1-3, 5-7, 9-11 all give 5% -> 9 * 5% = 45%

Two MW Crits -> 2 * 25% = 50%

GA = 50%

Total = 45% + 50% + 50% = 145%

Unless a certain amount of a stat is required and no more, like in the case of Attack Speed Breakpoints, Armor and Resistances, GA and MW priority should be easy to follow.

Guides, which follow a Starter -> Midgame -> Endgame progression, are structured such that the difficulty of the MWing outcome and amount of GAs on items also progresses as expected.

For example, a Starter variant will generally have 1GA items with three 1MW affixes. A Midgame variant will generally have 2GA items with a 2MW Affix and a 1MW affix. An Endgame variant will generally have 2GA/3GA items with a 3MW affix.

From this you can derive that the GA on the starter version is the most important, the second GA added is the second most important and the third GA added is the third most important affix.

In the case of Masterworking, 3MW = most important affix, the 1MW in the Midgame variant is the second most important affix and from the Starter variant with three 1 MW affixes you can know which is the third most important affix.

When GA and MW don't align you are most likely in the presence of a stat with a certain threshold you have to meet or a cap and those will be explicitly stated in the guide anyways.

In the case of Uniques GA and MW, progression standards are generally shifted by one as they are easier to MW because they have 4 affixes and also easier to acquire with multiple GAs.

Mystic Mantle Version

Allek's Talon is not a powerful ability, yet our goal is to simply activate our Main Boss power as often as possible in order to combo with Belial's Eye Beams which will provide us with a powerful buff on stealth; this also combos with our Chest Piece, The Shroud of False Death which provides increased damage from stealth.

Blackmailer's Sabotage will help us maintain our barrier at all times. Sinerat's Flames is simply a powerful damage boost that is always active.

Old Bugged Version that was removed - How it worked.

Varshan's Life Steal is a powerful boss power that adds a lot of damage, to activate this power often we need a Main Boss power with low threshold of activation.

Flesh Reaper's Disruption is a simple power that can be activate consistently if we use the Accursed Touch aspect.
