Notes

NOTES
---------


PB of Dissipation Still Good, but weaker.


Should you league start this? No


If you find yourself ignoring that advice, you'll need:

- Ghostwrithe
- First Lab - Instruments of Virtue
- Energy Blade 
- Penance Brand of Dissipation

Ideally:
- Shaper's Touch
- Crown of the Inward Eye
- Cyclopean Coil (% Attributes)

Recommendation: Run Hybrid defense until later so that you can have some chaos res and some buffer supposing you get poisoned/Chaos Damaged

On a 4-Link you'll get decently far, but without Ivory Tower and Coruscating Elixir uptime, this build will fall over a lot. You're also missing a lot of scaling without those uniques, so ES rares are the best option.


IN PROGRESS
-------------------

I'm running Purity of Elements for now to fill the gap, but having a Cyclopean Coil and/or appropriate Pantheons will help you the rest of the way.

You can always choose Bring Kink for Freeze Avoid and have the Chill/Movement on your boots if you want.

Current issue is not having Brutal Restraint (Balbala) to get Traitor Keystone for Flask Charges


GEAR GOALS
------------------

- Spec out of Purity, into Zealotry
- Three Rat Talisman - This may take a while, but Crit Multi, Life, ES, All Attributes, Strength are GG


Talisman Crafting Method (This might get painful):

- Buy Any amulet base with All Attribute Fracture (doesn't have to be max)
- Attribute Catalyst (20%)
- Spam with Essence of Rage until you get something decent w/ Above
- Annoint Utmost Migh
- Get Beast Craft (Conversion to Talisman)
- Prayge


Sygian Vise Crafting Method:

NOTE: This base has a VERY high Strength weight, so Essence of Spite is optimal

- Buy Styigian (high level)
- Attribute Catalyst (20%)
- Slam with Hunter Orb (if you want) -- or just buy a Hunter Stygian Ready-Made
- Lose all money on Spite Essences
- Hope for Strength, Int, and Hunter All Attributes (T1) suffix
- Hope for open Prefix (key)
- If you somehow landed Hunter T1 life% stop
- If not, Craft Suffixes Cannot be Changed, Harvest Craft w/Life. Repeat until you get Influenced Mod



MAPPING
-----------

- Use Determination, Not Wrath
- If you're fine with your ailment avoidance, go out of Purity and turn on Zealotry for more DPS.
- The brand mastery for attaching to a new emeny is basically required here -- If not, change to additional brands or attachment range

BOSSING
------------

- Run, don't get hit.
- Damage is fine in this setup, but not super high. There's better re: Power Charge Stacking


Other Options
-----------------

- On a Cluster Jewel Setup, you'll have more sockets, so you can go with something like Stormshroud, get a couple of Abyss Jewles with Shock Avoid and GG
- Forbidden Flame/Flesh not required, but Regen Lingering gives QoL
- On more sockets, you can also go Adorned w/ Magic Jewls if you're feeling rich. Life% & Crit Multi


TIMLESS JEWEL
---------------------

Get Balbala


Good Stats:
- Onslaught On Kill
- Aura Effect


OTHER NOTES/CONFIG
-------------------------------

- I didn't touch this section to help keep expectations more grounded, but I did go into the top tier(s) with gear. Expect to get somewhere close, but not perfect.
- You can have up to 5 active brands from the tree, but only 1 can be attached to an enemy at a time unless you have runebinder. That would make it 2 and double your damage. For mapping it's not so necessary, but for bossing it's worth it.
