Weapon -
Imperial Skean is your BIS. Get a fractured base with either fractured crit multi, crit chance or attack speed. Spam essences until you hit good suffixes, you want T1 crit chance, T1 crit multi and T1 attack speed. Then lock suffixes, and reforge chaos for +1 to all chaos spell skill gems, lock suffixes again, veiled exalt and hope to remove the crafted mod, if it does remove the crafted mod, bench craft any source of penetration, and unveil. Hope to hit either chaos damage mod, or spell damage mod. GG, craft hits can't be evaded and you're done. For the enchant, just enchant whatever you're missing, either crit, or attack speed.
Helmet -
Lich's Circlet with high energy shield, int and resistances. Either fracture a base, or buy it fractured, the best fractures are % energy shield, INT, then you can spam Essences of Woe for flat energy shield, until you hit T1 % ES or T1 hybrid. Finish the suffixes off with eldritch currency.
Shield -
Titanium Spirit Shield is your BIS, try to get high ES and high block chance, bases with already crafted prefixes at the time of writing this, go for around 10 divines, in my opinion it's well worth buying them, than trying to craft it. Once you got your base, use a Shaper's Exalted Orb and hope it hits ES recovery on block, if it doesn't, lock prefixes and reforge defense at the harvest bench. If it does hit ES on block, lock prefixes, and Veiled Exalt slam it, in hopes it removes the crafted mod and unveil either double damage, double damage while focused. You can skip this step if it's too expensive, and just craft attack speed.
Amulet -
Whispers of Infinity is the best here, because you will never have to worry about mana, because it converts your mana cost into energy shield cost. Anoint it with
Tranquility and if your budget allows it, get a +1 max res corruption. Discipline aura effect also is worth taking.
Gloves -
Warlock Gloves with high energy shield, int and resistances. Because the build needs a source of DEX, I've opted to put it here. I bough the fractured DEX base, threw some Dense Fossils at it until I hit the prefixes, then Eldritch Currency the suffixes. You can also use Essences of Woe to hit the prefixes, whatever is cheapest.
Boots -
Warlock Boots with shaper and hunter influence for Tailwind and CDR. You want 1 base with the elevated tailwind mod, and 1 base with the elevated CDR mod. Use an Awakener's Orb, and hope for the best. The best 3rd suffix would be either a high resistance, or INT. For the prefixes I've done the following: Step 1 - Lock suffixes
Step 2 - Veiled Chaos Orb
Step 3 - Unveil movement speed
Step 4 - Craft mana
Step 5 - Exalt Slam in hopes to get ES. If you hit T1 % or T1 flat ES, you're good, just bench craft the other ES mod
Step 6 - If you don't slam a good ES mod, go back to step 1, repeat.
Belt -
Mageblood no description needed. It fixes everything, resistances, good attributes too, etc.
Rings -
Kalandra's Touch
- The expensive version is a +1 max power charge synth ring. If you have this, I've crafted it in the following way:
- Use essence of scorn until good 2nd suffix, preferably INT
- Suffixes cannot be changed
- Veiled Chaos
- Unveil a good mod, either double attributes or something that complements your setup
- If the veiled chaos missed and you got a prefix, back to Step 1
- If the veiled chaos didn't miss, and you got a good suffix, craft mana, exalt slam for high ES
- If you slammed twice and no ES, lock suffixes, scour
- Craft mana, slam again. Repeat
- If the +1 max power charge ring is too expensive, use the same crafting process on a normal ring, or a % increased spell damage per power charge synth ring.
Body Armor -
Twilight Regalia with high ES, and INT, resistances, and I went with a fractured essence mod giving me onslaught when i get hit,
Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice hits you every time it procs, so have permanent onslaught, thus freeing a flasks lot. Crafting it goes the same, once you got the fractured base, just spam essences of woe until good prefixes, then finish the suffixes with eldritch currency.
Grafts -
Squalling Tulgraft with a corrupted implicit that gives you crit chance per power charge. Try to get one with % increased spell damage or crit multi
- Based on your budget, your 2nd graft can be the exact same. I have a CDR one, but it does NOTHING for the build. I just had it and used it.
