Notes

Bandits: Help Kraityn 


Levelling: 

1-11: Orb of Storms with Stormblast Mine
12-27: Arc with Orb of Storms
28+ Cracklance

Heralds: Thunder early, maybe Ice as well? Both unlinked.
Reservations: Purity of Elements if needed


Clusters:

Doryani's Lesson mandatory
As many as possible of Sadist, Snowstorm, Stormrider (1 is OK, 2 is sublime)
CONSIDER reforge life on cold or lightning clusters
CONSIDER Pristine + Frigid on lightning
CONSIDER Metallic + Pristine on cold
or just trade snipe them like the unethical person I am


Chest:

CONSIDER Skin of the Loyal or Lords with Enhance Support (worse damage, better defenses, better reservation)
CONSIDER Inpulsa's (worse damage, absolutely sublime clear)
CONSIDER pure defense ES/EV chest
CONSIDER influenced chest with +1 socketed skill gems, +100 or better life and a resist and CORRUPTION HUNTING them.
Pre-Crest, consider a 6L for Cracklance


Flasks:
Before Oriath's End experiment
Mana is really messy pre-Crest of Desire, Lavignia's Spirit might be needed (ugh) for map bosses


Helm:
Pre Crest, use a defensive item and put heralds in it


Ailments Without Purity of Elements: 
Can go Stormshroud with Elevated Crusader boots and Insulated on a Megalomaniac
Can go Grand Spectrum (3x Ailment). 
Maybe optimal is Elevated Crusader boots (shock avoid), Stormshroud, Grand Spectrum (1x Ailment, 1x Frenzy, 1x Endurance). 
Could also explore Ancestral Vision setups.
