Weapon:

For weapon Aiming for higher Physical damage + Elemental Damage with Attacks is the way for Prefixes.

At Suffixes getting + to level of Melee skills + Critical Chance / Critical Damage is the best combination as well.

For runes, go with Crit Damage or Iron.

Chest Armor:

For the body armor you need to focus on rolling Energy Shield prefixes to guarantee maximum amount of spirit from the Ascendency passive.

You can still roll resistances there too.

Helmet:

Take one with as much ES as possible.

Gloves:

Gloves are playing huge role in our DPS, rolling Attack Speed / Lightning Damage and Level of Melee Skills there helps a lot.

Aim to get at least 2 of those out of the 3 - the rest are ES and Defensive stats.

is nerfed heavily in 0.2 and no longer viable.

Boots:

At the boots we need at least 20% Movement speed to feel comfortable.

The rest is Rarity + Some Resistances.

Amulet:

Amulet provides a lot of ES and Mana and can also help to improve the damage, since we can roll Critical Hit Chance, Critical Hit damage and Melee Skills levels there as well.

For tankiness we need to anoint

It is the MAIN SOURCE OF ALL EVASION.

Rings:

Getting Mana regeneration on Rings is VERY Important to fix mana issues in the endgame. Also rolles RARITY which helps a lot.

If you will have some place for Lightning Damage to Attacks or %Lightning Damage To it would be even better.

Use Catalysts to improve resistances your rings can provide too.

IMPORTANT Jewels:

Running Gain 5-10% of maximum Energy Shield as additional Stun Threshold is MANDATORY to avoid getting stunned.

The rest stats at jewels are Crit Damage / Crit Chance / Elemental Damage.

Flasks:

Getting 30% of recovery applied instantly at mana flask can help a lot with sustain on bosses.

In 0.2.0 League can be useful as well to quickly recover lost ES.

can come in handy but not too important.

We are now using with and to provide AOE and better clear.

Against Bosses (Mostly Pinnacles) we are using and to proc and melt them fast.

IMPORTANT - move to when you fight Pinnacles.

If is not triggered often enough for you - replace it with with the same setup.

supports in order of importance:

Martial Tempo, Upheaval, Primal Armament, Ambush.

is great because it provides MORE Crit Chance and not increased, helping us reach to the cap.

That way if we have at least 50% Crit chance we can have almost 100% with while hitting full health enemies.

0.2 CHANGES:

In 0.2 Dawn of the Hunt we lost since it no longer can be used. To compensate for that change we will need to get more ES across the board to survive harder encounters.

Adding Iron runes OR Blasphemy with at least 1 Curse instead should help us to survive better.

on the amulet is now MANDATORY for hander encounters which will help regenerating ES together with

also got nerfed in 0.2 so I expect less damage at bosses, but it shouldn't be a big issue since the Pinnacles were taking only 2-3 seconds before.

And the last part energy generation is also lowered in 0.2 but it is not a big issue since can compensate for it.

now looks like a better option for setup since not providing critical weakness anymore.

If you lack Spirit:

In such case use ONLY Against Pinnacles and drop + to activate it.

While running normal maps use + and drop .

KEEP AT LOW LVL IF YOU LACK STR

Aura Priority:

1.

4.

2.

3.

5. if you like it or have spirit.

Quality Priority:

1. for bigger area of effect.

2. for better CDR.

We are still going full Lightning Crit, Investing heavily into both Crit Chance / Crit Bonus nodes.

Make sure that you are picking IF you have mana issues. Otherwise mana should feel better in 0.2.0

IF YOU ARE SHORT ON POINTS - DROP JEWEL SOCKETS

as anoint on the amulet is MANDATORY to have Evasion, so get it asap to survive better.

NEW Nodes Close to the CI can help with stuns / chill / freeze. Will add them later on.
