Gear Search Links:

I made a list of pathofexile.com/trade2 links. They are in the description of my video, and will allow you to purchase all the gear needed for the build cheaply.

End Game video with links will be out 23/12/2024, but I'm updating the guide already.

Gear Stats

All gear should be Evasion/Energy Shield, it's a CI build so we need no Life or Chaos resistance, don't be shy and get Dex/INT on gear, the build is quite hungry for them if you gems are high level.

Weapon:

Highest DPS you can find, make sure it has Lightning Damage. It can be both an elemental weapon or a full physical one.

Chest:

it's your most important piece. You need 110 spirits gained from your chest, so get as much Shield and Evasion as possible. You need to add 2 sockets for 40% evasion and Energy shield plus increase the quality. These types of chests are only a couple of exalts.

Amulet

We are going for a fully defensive Amulet and we will increase the Defensive Quality with Carpace Catalyst.

X% Increased Evasion Rating

X% Increased Maximum Energy Shield

X To Maximum Energy Shield

If you can also get 1 Resistance or 1 Roll of Dex/Int it's great.

Overwhelming Strike is the cheapest Anointment.

Gloves

Offensive gloves, Resistances and high ES/Evasion are not important.

Increased Critical Damage Bonus

Ranks to Melee Skills

Adds x to x Lightning Damage to Attacks

Int/Dex

Get 3 of these stats on the item.

No Uniques, just focus on these stats:

Elemental Resistances.
Increased Lightning Damage.
Added Lightning Damage to attacks.

How it Plays

I suggest to watch the how to play video https://youtu.be/Z-8RJoOwU28

Kill few enemies at the entrance of the dungeon with your basic attack and use Reaper's Invocation , or use Lingering Illusion to generate charges.

After you've maxed your Charged Staff and generated few more Power charges you can use Infernal Cry if you have it and then Flicker Strike to kill all the enemies. Be sure to cast Reaper's Invocation mid Flicker Strike so you can receive the charges right when it's over.

For Bossing and Elites use Tempest Bell .

How it Works

For defense, we have Ghost DanceandWind Dancer. I would say that stacking Evasion is extremely important as It will also provide us with physical damage reduction.
