[0.4] 100% Crit/Recoup Chronomancer

Updated to 0.4 Crafting Guide - has examples of low budget crafting that have good chance save you a lot of currency, plus example with buying cheap rares with empty prefix/suffix.

GEAR

Wand:

• +4-5 Cold Spell Skill levels
• Crit Chance for Spells
• Cast Speed
• Any good prefixes like Extra Damage, Spell or Cold Damage

Focus:

• +2 to All Spell Levels
• Crit Chance for Spells
• 1 good Resist
• Preferably ES prefixes with Spell or Cold Damage

Staff (Second Weapon Set)

• Chiming Staff with level 19+ Sigil of Power, it only need +# to All Spells which you can get from Perfect Essence of Sorcery. So just buy any Chiming Staff and throw essence at it.

Amulet:

• Must have Mana Recoup, atleast ~20%
• +2-3 Levels
• 1 good Resist Mod
• Any good Prefixes, make sure it has no Increased Armor, not critical but less armor we have - better.
• Spirit not needed, unless you willing to spend 3 points to get Whispers of Doom to use Blasphemy with Temporal Chains
• Infused Flesh for Instil

Rare Ring:

• Should be bought as last item to cap all Resists after you got Amulet and Focus

Boots:

• Triple Resists
• Movespeed
• Preferably high Energy Shield

Helmet:

• Scold's Bridle with 95%+ Manacost taken as Physical roll, closer to 100% - better
• If you get corrupted one with over 100% that would be even better
• At high budget you can corrupt it 2 times to possibly get above 100% and 2 Sockets.

Body Armor:

• Sacrosanctum MUST HAVE MANA RECOUP CORRUPT ENCHANT
• Must have 2 sockets and good roll of normal Life Recoup Mod
• Atleast 21 Spirit to fit 30 Spirit Skill
• At very high budget you can possibly get both Life and Mana Recoup Corrupt Enchants if you use Architect's Orb to corrupt it second time.
  *Saw single Sacrosanctum with both Life and Mana Recoup Corrupts on trade so far.

Gloves:

• Maligaro's Virtuosity with higher Crit Chance roll is good to have
• Having extra socket helps a lot

Belt:

• Midnight Braid corrupted with as close to 61% Mana Recoup as possible and ideally good Resist roll
• At high budget you can Corrupt it second time using Architect's Orb which can possibly add Resists as Corrupted Enchant which will be super useful!

Ring:

• Snakepit with good corrupt, like %Damage, %Chaos Res, %All Ele Res.
  I recommend buying uncorrupted Snakepit rings with good roll, add Caster quality and Vaal with Omen, as long as it's worth doing with current prices

Flasks:

• Blood of the Warrior to get extra Life Recoup, look for good roll
• Lavianga's Spirits for permanent extra Mana Regen

Charms:

• Nascent Hope for Freeze removal
• Forsaken Bangle for Chaos Recoup
• Sanguis Heroum for Bleed Removal

Jewels:

• Controlled Metamorphosis with Medium-Small radius, good roll isn't expensive
• Heart of the Well with Speed of Recoup Effects plus anything useful like %Extra Damage, %Crit Chance, %Life Recoup, or few other mods.
• Rare Jewel as alternative to Heart of the Well with 3% Recoup, Spell/Elemental/Cold Damage, %ES or Crit Chance passives.
• Megalomaniac as another alternative to Heart of the Well with one of these passives: Heart Tissue, Aspiring Genius, Evocational Practitioner, Deadly Force, Energise, Endless Blizzard.
• From Nothing (Necromantic Talisman) allow to take:
  - Adverse Growth
  - Regenerative Flesh
  - Glazed Flesh
• Heroic Tragedy in socket next to Stormcharged might be very strong if you get good jewel, which is hard to do so because you have to buy different seeds and check it manually until you find one.
  Heroic Tragedy is good because one of passives it can roll is Oaken Form that grant 10% Life Recoup which is huge amount. And because you have From Nothing(Necromantic Talisman), you can allocated 3 Notables that are in radius of Heroic Tragedy without connecting to tree.
  If you manage to find Heroic Tragedy that has 2 Oaken Form Passives on those 3 Passives, it's easily best on slot Jewel, allowing to change Instil on Amulet and drop small 3% Recoup Passives.
