[0.5] Ice Strike Hollow Palm Technique League Starter Guide w/Acts Walkthrough

Helmet

Prioritize getting as much Energy Shield as possible on your helmet. Since Hollow Palm Technique uses Energy Shield for Crit, the helmet will be a huge source of Energy Shield. Critical Hit Chance is a luxury - it's nice if you can get it but it's not required. Focus on survivability stats.

Body Armour

Once again, prioritize getting as much Energy Shield and Evasion as possible. Spirit would be nice since we run over 100 Spirit on our Spirit Gems but if you can't get Spirit for a reasonable price, its not the end of the world.

Gloves

Use a rare glove with a good bit of Flat Physical and Flat Cold. If you can afford the mana, get +2 to Melee Skills as well. You can use Energy Shield Base or Evasion Base.

Boots

Pretty straightforward - as much Energy Shield and Resistances as possible. As high Movement Speed as possible. You can use Energy Shield Base or Evasion Base.

Amulet

Prioritize getting + 3 Levels to Melee Skills. This is a HUGE portion of your damage. The rest of the stats can be survivability stats.

Rings

Get as much flat damage as possible. Physical, Cold, Lightning, Fire, are all good. Prioritize Flat Physical and Flat Cold Damage since most of our skills are Cold. Stats are also very good to have since this will be a stat hungry build.

Belt

Ingenuity will be our highest DPS belt. If you have trouble with survivability, feel free to use a rare belt. Headhunter is a good option for mapping.

Jewels

For the Rare Jewels, prioritize the following stats in this order:

1. % Mana on Kill (You need ONE jewel with this line)

2. Crit Chance

3. Crit Damage

4. Energy Shield
