Equipment Guide
1) Weapon -
Tangletongue is our main weapon. This lets us hit double crits for double damage - we want a high critical hit chance along with lots of flat damage. Look for double socket and socket
Soul Core of Ticaba) for maximising critical damage bonus (this is a multiplicative bonus). For a high end build this is better than flat damage (
Greater Storm Rune).
2)
Beacon of Azis lets us bypass monster resistances for both lightning
2)
Beacon of Azis lets us bypass monster resistances for both lightning (
Lightning Spear) and cold (
Glacial Lance)
3) Pure ES helmet + Evasion/ES hybrid rest of gear.
Spectral Ward gives us more ES from evasion on chest piece!
4) Spirit Requirements - Need 170 spirit from gear (additional to 100 spirit through campaign). You NEED an
Omen Sceptre with high % spirit roll (ideally 50%+) and
Beacon of Azis.
Cast on Critical quality to 20% ASAP to reduce by 10 spirit.
5) Offensive gear - You want rings with good rolls for better damage. Look for good flat damage rolls to physical and lightning as well as resistances. Gloves can roll with triple flat damage.
6) Then aim for Resistances, Maximum Life, Rarity on other pieces of gear
7) Anointment on Amulet:
Overwhelming Strike or
Stormcharged is ideal
Critical Exploit is CHEAP
8) Stats - look for intellect on helmet, rings, chest piece. Look for strength on belt. Highest Int requirement on helmet (pure ES) and sceptre. Can use reduced attribute requirement roll here or Evasion/ES Hybrid Helm instead for easier stat requirement.
9) For Charms you want
Stone Charm (or
For Utopia) and
Staunching Charm (or
Sanguis Heroum) mandatory. You NEED to prevent bleed damage in the build as that bypasses ES and also stunlocks are really annoying/detrimental.
Remember you don't need the legendary versions but a lot of them are cheap currently so why not!
The third charm choose between
Antidote Charm to prevent poison damage or
Thawing Charm to prevent freeze.
10) Flasks - you NEED a Mana Flask which high number of charges (ideally 122+) to make Ambrosia give you as much extra damage as possible for your
Glacial Lance
11) Gems -
Emerald with Projectile Damage/Critical Damage Bonus and/or
Sapphire with Maximum Energy Shield/Cold Damage/Crit Chance
