Build Overview

SPEED LEVELING INCLUDED

Paquate's Pact (Corrupting Cry II) utilising Gemling Legionnaire quality stacking for DEFENCE, DAMAGE and SPEED. Fortifying Cry every 3+ seconds to hit most things on the screen applying a powerful physical Corrupted Blood that echoes twice over 2 seconds growing larger each time. Echo's also give a 700+ guard shield. Fly across the screen in a single dodgeroll with 2x Cast on Dodge giving 3m extra distance and Decree of Flight making it faster with floating wings!

Equipment Priority
+11

- Stat priority:

- Resistance (elemental minimum total 86+%, chaos minimum 74+%)

- Strength (until you can equip your weapon with Giant's Blood)

- + to level of all melee skills

- Energy Shield

- Rarity

- Darkness Enthroned (body armour) socketed with Fox Idol and Rune of the Blossom (99% max, 100% might make Rune of the Blossom not work)

- Quecholli to guarantee shock with Shocking Leap

- Absent Amulet for Cast on Dodge (NOT MANDATORY, only gives +1m dodge, any amulet ok)

1 - Fracture the +3 level of all melee skills. To do so, chaos spam 1 mod suffix rare amulet until you get it, then add 2 more mods with exalts, and a UNREVEALED abyss mod with collarbone, then fracture

2 - Essence of the Breach for +20% max quality. Use Reaver Catalyst until 34% quality. Annul back down to only the fracture

3 - Use a Omen of Sinistral Necromancy (prefix) + Altered Collarbone to try and get the Anaemia mod. If it fails, then remove with Annul and try again (cheaper than using omen of light, but won't guarantee you good prefix/suffixes after)

4 -Then you can suffix omen exalt, and remove with suffix omen perfect essence of enhancement

5 - Perfect exalt

Extra - If you want even better, you can first chaos spam before step 3, to get 45+ spirit. Then Omen of light with Altered Collarbone if you don't hit it instead of annulling

- Solemn Maul is sanctified for +6 level to all melee skills

1 - Solemn Maul or any high ilvl two-handed mace (81+) with a low strength requirment

2 - Buy or roll +5 to all melee skills (ideally it has Strength and life on kill suffixes, not mandatory)

3 - Fill prefixes/suffixes with exalts (mods don't matter)

4 - Perfect Essence of Abrasion for Gain % as extra phys damage (skip this step if you want)

5 - Omen of Sinistral Necromancy (prefix) + Omen of the Liege (Amanamu) + Jawbone and reveal % increased damage against enemies with fully broken armour. If this removes mod from step 4, repeat step 4-5

6 - Omen of Sanctification + Divine Orb and pray! If you don't get +6 to all melee skills then restart

- Atziri's Splendour with as much energy shield as possible, make sure the 20% elemental resistance is still there as a mod. Helps if it has the no attribute requirement as well

- Prism of Belief with +3 to Fortifying Cry

- Replace Lavianga's Spirits with a Ultimate Mana Flask if you can't sustain mana

- You can runeforge Crown of the Victor and Saffell's Frame. You have to corrupt them after if you want additional sockets. You can buy 2 socket versions without a corruption first as well

- If you can afford Raven-Touched Shard for Crown of the Victor then I recommend Defensive Stance for 90% max resistance. Otherwise Idol of Eeshta is good

Gem Priority
+29

- ALL GEMS SHOULD BE 20% QUALITY, including skills socketed in Cast on Dodge

- Leap Slam on bosses for Shocking Leap and Holy Descent ground effects

- Resonating Shield to break armour and Crush Styrn's Ferocity (15% more damage) on bosses

- The 1st Cast on Dodge is from Absent Amulet

- Fortifying Cry being level 40 is not enough to get Paquate's Pact to 40. I think the corrupted +1 isn't applying or something. That's why we have a total of 41 levels.

- To create a level 21 Fortifying Cry:

1 - Make ANY level Fortifying Cry with a skill gem (cheaper the better)

2 - 4x Gemcutter's Prism for 20% quality

3 - Perfect Jeweller's orb for 5 sockets

4 - Vaal Orb and pray, if you don't get +1 to level, restart from step 1

Extra - If you get 3% extra quality or +1, you can use a Crystallised Corruption to get the other

5 - Use a level 20 skill gem to upgrade Fortifying Cry to level 20

- Sniper's Mark and Bloodhound's Mark are filler for Virtuous Barrier, don't put it on your hotbar. You can replace one with a Infernal Cry (Corrupting Cry II, Echoing Cry, Magnified Area II, Battershout, Fire Mastery) or Scavenged Plating (30+ extra spirit) if you want an extra button to press for better clear
