Lesser Gods
Soul of Ryslatha is the most solid choice. "Life Flasks gain 3 Charges every 3 seconds if you haven't used a Life Flask Recently" is nice for labyrinths or long bossfights.
The upgraded "60% increased Life Recovery from Flasks used when on Low Life" is great for emergency flasking, basically everytime we need to use a flask.Leveling Skill Trees: Leveling Skill Trees
Tips:
Keep an eye on your elemental resistances and life. If you have trouble with your defence this is often the mainreasonA Rare Helmet with Armour/Life/Resist/Rarity - preferable with a useful helmet enchant - will be defensively stronger
Recommended Gears:
Helm
Hrimnor's Resolve Samite Helmet medium life, decent armour, 30-40% firedamage and freeze/chill immunity after using a fireskill (any totem). A good mix of Utility, damage and Defence. The Chill Immunity is awesome for Chilled Ground maps as well.
A Rare Helmet with Armour/Life/Resist/Rarity - preferable with a useful helmet enchant - will be defensively stronger
Body Armor
Soul Mantle Spidersilk Robe Its the prefered chest for raw power (explained in the Informations).Until this use a rare chest with life and resists or a Tabula Rasa
Gloves
Rare Gloves with Life, Resists and Armour.
Boots
Rare Boots with 30% Movementspeed, Life and Resistance. After that look out for Armour
Weapon
Doryani's Catalyst Vaal Sceptre
Doryanis Catalyst is a stable in the build.
Rare Sceptres with Firedamage% and Burning damage% CAN be better than a doryani if other stats are useful as well. Keep your eyes open for those!
Besides Fire/Burning dmg we look for stuff like attack speed (faster shield charge), mana, manaregen, castspeed or spellcrit. (you cannot get it all)
Do NOT get any added fire damage for spells on you weapon or other gear!!! It will increase enemy resistances with Elemental Equilibrium!
Shield
Lioneye's Remorse
Tons of life, armour and Block. If you have capped resists without a shield its a great choice!
Then we can use a Rare Shield with high Armour, Life and Resists. Especially useful if you want extra chaos resistance.
Ring
Kikazaru Topaz Ring
Before those just use Rings with life and resistances. Mana and manaregen are good as well.
Amulet
Rare Amulet with with Life, Resists, Dexterity, Firedmg%. Especially Dexterity is important to level Gems.
Flask
Catalysed Divine Mana Flask (seems the best, but other choices might be better)
Quicksilver Flask of Adrenaline - Experimenter's, Chemist's and Perpetual all work
Granite Flask - Experimenter's, Chemist's and Perpetual all work
Chemist's Basalt Flask
"of Staunching" removes Bleed and has to be on one flask
"of Heat" removes Freeze and has to be on one flask without Hrimnors Resolve
"of Grounding" removes Shock and can be helpful
"of Curing" removes Poison and can be helpful
"of Iron Skin" grants 60-100% armour an can be helpful
Remove the Mana Flask if you use Bloodmagic.
Additional useful Flasks are:
Sulphur Flask for a damage and liferegen bonus
Amethyst Flask if you have problems with chaos damage
Bismuth Flask can be useful if all resists are bad
Topaz, Ruby and Sapphire can be swapped in for encounter with high elemental damage
Silver Flask for more speed
For Unique Flasks we can use:
Laviagnas Spirit - high mana recover relatively quick. Lets you use all skills while OoM.
Blood of the Karui - Recover much hp in a short time
Forbidden Taste - heals you for 75-100% hp instantly. Great panic flask!
Witchfire Brew - to curse without using orb of storms and 50-70% dot dmg
Rumi's Concoction - for armour, block and spellblock
Any of the Utility or Unique Flask can be swapped in for your needs, just keep something for bleed and Freeze removal!
