Tips

- Don't forget to equip a 2-handed mace in weapon set 2!

- Talk to the The Hooded One NPC to identify any items you pick up

- Check the vendors for good items and upgrades

- Desert Rune, Storm Rune and Glacial Rune are very good for armour if they have sockets. Try and keep an even spread of resistances

- Iron Rune is very good for weapons if they have sockets

- Artificers Orb (adds sockets to items) should be saved for very good Rare (yellow) items that will last several levels.

- Use the Salvage Bench on items with sockets and quality that you won't use

Gem Priority
+4

- Set 1 selected skills are Pink (Rolling Slam, Earthquake)

- Set 2 selected skills are Green (Boneshatter, Shockwave Totem, Mace Strike)

Tips

- Use Earthquake once (or more) in different locations under a boss to have multiple sets of jagged ground at the same time, explode that jagged ground with Shockwave Totem

- If Rolling Slam is stunning too easily, then remove Stun I. Keep in mind that you can cancel the animation before the second slam with most other actions, such as Boneshatter.

- Use Raise Shield to get more Endurance charges via blocks from Magma Barrier. This resets the cooldown for your next use of Infernal Cry

SELECTING WEAPON SETS!

To ensure that a skill is only used with one particular weapon set, you need to configure it in your skill menu (G by default)

Check out this guide to see how you do it for each individual skill (gem section): Dual Specialisation

Passive Tree

main:
123
123
set 1:
20
20
set 2:
20
20

- The RED lines are for weapon set 1 passive points, while the GREEN lines are for weapon set 2 passive points

- To use a weapon set passive on the passive tree you first need 1 normal passive point available. It will then split it into two, 1 for each set
