Gem Priority

For single target slot in Blasphemy curse depending on what builds your party members run. For lightning builds its Conductivity - fire Flammability and so on. For mapping slot Enfeeble or Temporal Chains.

Rest of free skill slots are up to you whichever you prefer because there is plenty of spirit left to use!

set 2:

Other options are either life regeneration or ESPECIALLY mana regeneration due to Mind Over Matter being another hit pool aka defense layer. Could even go for Energy shield as we path close to those nodes such as Calibration.

Atlas Tree

How it Plays

1. Defiance Banner - movement speed important mainly in maps to keep it constantly up

2. War Banner - damage boost also accuracy if needed

3. Dread Banner - amazing stun and elemental threshold

4. Ancestral Warrior Totem - easy Armour Breaker procs for extra DPS

5. Solar Orb (optional) - if running with fire builds in party can run this with Fire Exposure and Strip Away as well as Font of Blood, Font of Mana or Font of Rage

How it Works

With jewels that boost your presence area of effect it won't as necessary but you definitely want to literally "hug" your party members for those juice Scepter buffs as banner have crazy AoE.
