MORE DPS Update + One shots of T4 Bosses + My gear ------------------------>

==========================================================

In this Amazon build we are going to use Flicker Strike for clearing AND to one shot Bosses.

As a supportive skill Storm Wave can help us to clear while we are refreshing the charges.

Herald of Ash on top of that will improve our clear significantly while Infernal Cry will provide rage and DPS on bosses.

Equipment Priority

Weapon:

Search for quarterstaff with + Level of melee skills together with accuracy / elemental damage to attacks. If you can get Crit Chance or Crit Damage on top it will be perfect.

Chest Armor:

For the body armor just focus on rolling Energy Shield prefixes to get as high ES as you can.

Hybrid Evasion + ES body is an option too but it will provide lower stun and ailment threshold.

Helmet:

Helmet should have as high ES as possible to get evasion from Subterfuge Mask. Both Accuracy Rating and Critical strike can be good for DPS too.

Gloves:

Essentia Sanguis is the main source of all Leech and sustain in the build.

Boots:

At the boots we need at least 30-35% Movement speed to feel comfortable.

The rest is Rarity + Resistances.

Amulet:

We are using Beacon of Azis for spirit and unique bonus to ignore resistances.

Good Anoint would be Stormcharged to improve both crit / dmg.

To be tankier we need to take Subterfuge Mask in the tree It is the MAIN SOURCE OF ALL EVASION.

Rings:

For rings rolling resistances + max mana + Lightning Damage to attacks is the best option.

Those bonuses will be multiplied by Ingenuity

IMPORTANT Jewels:

It's mandatory to have at least one Jewel with "Recover X% of Maximum Mana on Kill" otherwise you will have no mana when mapping.

Other good stats are: Increased Maximum Energy Shield, Increased Critical Damage Bonus, Gain additional Stun threshold equal to X% of Maximum Energy Shield.

We can also use Time-Lost Ruby with "Notable Passive Skills in Radius also grant Gain 1 Rage on Melee Hit" to increase the damage when mapping and you will constantly have the maximum 30 Rage.
Damage Nodes such as "Increased Melee Damage" or "Increased global Physical damage" are also working nicely for it.

Prism of Belief with +3 Levels of Flicker strike is also a great way to boost DPS but you can use +2 as a much cheaper option.

You can also use Against the Darkness jewel with added damage as Fire / Cold / Lightning

Flasks:

Try to get as high life regeneration number as possible to recover ES better with Eternal Youth because we don't have other ways to recover.

Olroth's Resolve can be a nice option if you have enough currency.

THIS IS SETUP FOR MAPS, CLICK BOSSING VARIANT TO SEE SETUP FOR PINNACLES

Use Ambrosia support if you have enough charges at your flask and Primal Armament if you don't want to bother with mana.

How to Flicker FAST:

To do so you can change Close Combat to Hit and Run support for flicker, but you will need to move 10 meters before reusing it.

Reaching 100% Crit Chance:

To reach 100% crit chance we can use different supports at Flicker Strike

Main option is Pinpoint Critical but if you have a high enough % you can also try Inevitable Critical or even Ambush (can be unstable).

Generating Charges:

To generate power charges to use both Charged Staff and Flicker Strike we should clear a few monster packs with Storm Wave to proc Profane Ritual from Cast on Critical.

Or we can swap the weapon set to #2 where we have Rattling Sceptre to summon Skeletal Warrior and manually use Profane Ritual at them to generate the charges.

Important - How to Leech:

To leech you will need Essentia Sanguis + You need to roll Leech Physical Damage as life to leech.

It can be on one of the rings OR on Weapon.

Spirit Management:

Our 2 main auras are Cast on Critical with Profane Ritual inside to generate power charges and

Herald of Ash which will help us to clear better + can be supported by Precision + Clarity for QoL and some damage.

We should have enough spirit from campaign (100) and ~45 from Beacon of Azis amulet making exactly enough.

Sacrifice is there ONLY for Weapon swap with the scepter so we can use Profane Ritual at our Skeletal Warrior minions to generate charges for single target. So activate Sacrifice only for weapon slot 2 to save spirit.

Passive Tree

Map Setup (Main)

Bossing Setup (Pinnacles only)

main:

123

set 1:

set 2:

IMPORTANT - Take FULL CLUSTER FOR STUN / AILMENT TRESHOLD CLOSE TO Chaos Inoculation for 6 POINTS TO AVOID FREEZE / STUN.

We use two sets of weapons. Red points in the tree work when the first weapon set is active, green points are enabled when you swap to the second weapon set.

Why we need 2 Sets:

For bosses we're swapping to the 2nd set to Sacrifice our minions with self cast Profane Ritual and get Power Charges.
To make the process smoother we're minimizing the time required for minions to revive and grab some Spirit points to be able to summon more Skeletal Warriors.

And the first set maximizes damage, hence the crit nodes. We grab all the bonuses for Power charges, because the more Power Charges we have the more hits we can do with one use of Flicker Strike. Power charge consumption nodes are a must as well - our main skill consumes them constantly and gets a lot of bonuses.

We're taking Chaos Inoculation to be Chaos immune and ignore Poison and Bleed, cutting significantly the number of DoT effects that can harm us.

Stun and Freeze / Chill Protection:

New nodes close to the Chaos Inoculation cluster - Shimmering Mirage and Abasement can give us decent Stun Threshold and Ailment Threshold (by default it's very low since we're playing CI and all our thresholds are based on 1 Life).

How to regenerate:

Eternal Youth is a very good option, since we will use it only in critical situations. Most of the time your Leech from Essentia Sanguis will be enough to sustain ES.

Ascendancy Order

1. Critical Strike - the most important point, helps with capping crit chance
