0.5 Best Twister Gemling (Very Broken)

As you can see I wrote a lot of shit here, it's pretty important for min-maxing but for the budget versions you can kinda just yolo copy. If anything confuses you, reference the video as I definitely yapped about it at some point

Spear is The Ordained it just rolls with disgustingly high base crit and very good DPS. For a rare spear to be better it costs well over 300 divines. Try to get one with 11.5+ crit chance and roughly 600+ DPS. They are fairly inexpensive, a 15div one is more than enough to annihilate the entire game.

If you have the money, you can try to emulate my rare spear, mine was about 1k divine. I have a Flying Spear because it has proj speed but it's unnecessary. You want it to either have extremely high phys, or 3 T1 flat ele rolls, or 2 T1 flat ele rolls + t1 ele damage with attacks. In suffix you want Crit Chance, Crit Damage Bonus, Level of All Projectile Skills > Level of All Attack Skills

For your second spear just grab a 10-15D Skysliver with 2.35+ Attacks Per Second. If you have a lot of money you can try to find a Soaring Spear with really high Attacks Per Second

The chest is Morior Invictus (all resistances) w/ all res per socket, chaos res per socket, increased global energy shield per socket, try to get one with 5 sockets ideally, and get as high Evasion + ES as possible. This makes reaching our resistances super easy, but we can also take advantage of some Idols to get quality

My Mageblood roll is Quicksilver x2 Jade, Bismuth. Any combination of these 3 with one being a +2 is fine. Optionally you can swap out the Quicksilver roll for Gold if you want rarity. The damage related ones are unnecessary IMO.

I anointed Thaumaturgic Generator because it drastically helps with the consistency of Frenzy Charges. On my helmet I have Paragon.

For your amulet prioritize getting Trinity + 3 levels of projectile skills. Once you get Atziri's Communion and you swap to the low life setup for more damage, you can use any spirit skill of your choice on your amulet, and manually use Trinity in your actual skill setup since it won't cost any spirit. You can very easily get 5% quality of all skills on your amulet by desecrating the suffix and using "Omen of the Blackblooded" as the quality is a Kurgal modifier. As long as it rolls 3% and above it can be divined to go up to 5%. After that, try to get Evasion/ES/Attributes/Crit

Rings, we use the The Taming the roll isn't a huge deal, just try to get high all res and damage per ailment. Ideally you can get a corrupt enchant, I went for rarity+dex, you can also get skill speed, crit damage, or resistances. For your second ring I personally use Andvarius to get 100% extra rarity but this is obviously at the cost of damage and defense. Otherwise I'd just get a Gold Ring with lots of flat damage, life, resistances if I needed any, or attributes if I needed any. A Breach Ring with lots of flat damage and attack speed would be BiS if I didn't care for rarity.

For gloves you want projectile speed + level of projectile skills which can roll when it is socketed with Kolr's Hunt. This is not mandatory but it is a nice damage boost, the base you get this on isn't super important and it's kinda hard to get a good pair, but it's a decent place to get your runic ward. In addition to those rolls, crit damage bonus, attack speed, and any flat damage is nice. Other good stats include deflection & rarity but that makes it exorbitantly expensive. Gloves can also corrupt with +1 Frenzy Charge which is a nice little bonus.

Boots you want Chance to not remove charges in the suffix which only can roll when using the Uhtred's Sidereus rune. This can roll up to 15%, prioritize that. You don't need movespeed as all your movement is Whirling Slash. Skill Effect Duration is also quite nice here and makes the Twister last longer but it's not necessary. Deflection rating is good defensively, rarity is of course good as always. Try to get a hybrid base with a good amount of Evasion/ES but it's not the end of the world.

For helmet you want 2 sockets in a perfect world if you're rich so you can put in Pain Attunement rune via Aldur's Legacy while also using Raven-Touched Shard to anoint Paragon

You can check your attack speed by clicking on your whirling assault skill with the correct spear out, and checking your attack time. For reference mine is 0.09 with 11.24 APS in town. In combat mine goes down to 0.08. Attack speed for this skill functions in breakpoints, so any attack speed increase you get between 0.12 and 0.11 does nothing if it doesn't reduce the number to the next breakpoint. For most of you I would recommend trying to reach .12 or .11 in combat, .1 or lower requires a decent bit of investment.

QUALITY / CHANCE TO REMOVE SOURCES

For obvious reasons you should try to get quality almost everywhere you can for all of the benefits, but the single most important benefit is the quality that we get for Barrage giving us a chance to not consume charges. We can easily scale this to 100% so our Barrage never consumes our frenzies, so for every single Twister cast we have max projectiles which is extremely broken. You can check your chance to consume by clicking the arrow key on your Barrage skill. You really only need like 95% + but 100 is obviously nice QoL. Above 100 does nothing of course

All Quality Sources:
5% Suffix Roll On Amulet
5% From Fox Idol On Chest
5% From Paragon Anoint/Megalomaniac
3% From Skill Gem Corruption
6% From Gemling Ascendancy Tree
5% From Dialla's Desire for 1 supported skill

All "Chance To Not Remove Sources"
Barrage Quality is 1:1
Up to 15% Chance To Not Remove on Boots Suffix with Uhtred's Sidereus socketed
10% Chance via Idol of Eramir
10% Chance with The Fabled Stag
25% Chance from Perpetual Charge
