Equipment Guide
1) Weapon - Accuracy is the most important stat to take advantage of
Critical Strike. Then look for Phys damage, Crit Chance, Crit Damage Bonus.
Seaglass Spear is the best base to look for as it has the highest Crit Chance at base! Socket for
Greater Vision Rune as accuracy provides best damage benefit
2) Pure ES helmet + Evasion/ES hybrid rest of gear.
Spectral Ward gives us more ES from evasion on chest piece!
3) Spirit Requirements - Need 175 spirit from gear (additional to 100 spirit through campaign) or 195 (with Vitality on
Trinity). You NEED an
Omen Sceptre with high % spirit roll (ideally 50%+) and amulet with 40-45+ spirit.
Cast on Critical quality to 20% ASAP to reduce by 10 spirit
4) Offensive gear - You want
Emerald Ring for accuracy implicits. Look for good flat damage rolls to physical and lightning as well as resistances. Gloves can roll with flat damage, accuracy, attack speed. Helmet can also roll with accuracy.
5) Then aim for Resistances, Maximum Life, Rarity on other pieces of gear
6) Anointment on Amulet:
Overwhelming Strike is ideal
Critical Exploit is CHEAP
Subterfuge Mask is best for defensive anoint
7) Stats - look for intellect on helmet, amulet, rings. 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.
8) 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.
