WARNING: PRE-MAGEBLOOD MIGHT BE LESS OR MORE EXPENSIVE DEPENDING ON THE ECONOMY AND AT WHAT TIME POINT YOU ARE TRYING TO PUT THIS TOGETHER

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PLAY THIS BUILD IF YOU ARE NEW! DO NOT PLAY THIS AS YOUR FIRST CHARACTER! ONLY PLAY IF YOU HAVE THE REQUIRED GEAR AND IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

DO NOT switch to this build from another one and use a mix of items, tree and gems because it will not work. Do it ONLY if you are experienced and you know what you are doing.
DO NOT use Headhunter with this build, you will steal attack speed mod and you will brick the trigger rate.
DO NOT use Melding of the Flesh with this build without Mageblood or without enough resistances, only switch to it later when you have good gear.
DO NOT use Stormshroud without Mageblood to get elemental ailment immunity from flask because it's not permanent. You could do it with abyss jewels, mod on boots and boots implicits but I would recommend waiting until Mageblood.
DO NOT use Spell Crit Chance on your Dagger in the beginning because you will not have enough Crit Chance on Cyclone. Spell Crit Chance Dagger should be used only later when you have better gear.
DO NOT use any golems without Forbidden Flame/Flesh Jewels because they are not reliable, they will stay mostly dead. Forbidden Jewels are nice but NOT NEEDED. I got them at around 200-210div for the pair.
DO NOT use Militant Faith that replaces your +1 to Maximum Power Charges node to something else. On Militant Faith #2376 doesn't matter, only High Templar Dominus. You want +2% All Elemental Resistance and later also +1% Aura Effect
DO NOT use other base than Imperial Skean if you are crafting or buying it ready.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------IMPORTANT INFO------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sources of Attack Speed: Dagger, Dagger Enchant, Unholy Grace large Cluster(only use this in the beginning), Gloves, Rational Doctrine Implicit, Tailwind + Tailwind Effect. Other Sources that I would not use: Rare Jewels
Sources of Critical Strike Chance: Dagger, Dagger Enchant, Bottled Faith + Consecrated Ground, Rational Doctrine + Profane Ground, Medium Cluster Jewel, (Zealotry gives only Spell Block), Jewel Implicit Corruptions, Rare Jewels, Watcher's Eye mod
Sources of Attack Block: Rare Jewels, Tattoos, Watcher's Eye mod, Shield Corruption Implicit, Amulet Corruption Implicit
Sources of Spell Block: Rare Jewels, Watcher's Eye mod, Shield Corruption Implicit, Amulet Corruption Implicit
Sources of Cooldown Recovery Rate: Awakened Cast on Crit, Shaper Belt/Boots, Crusader Belt/Boots, Eater Boots Implicit, Abyss jewels, Veiled Belt, Bench Craft Belt

How to solve Bleeding and Corrupted Blood: Upgraded Ralakesh Minor Pantheon or Corrupted Blood Immunity jewel corruption.

Before Elemental Ailment Immunity use Brine King Pantheon, after you are Elemental Ailment Imune use Lunaris Pantheon.

Dagger Unveils: Chaos Damage/Duration, Spell Damage/Extra Chaos, Spell Damage/Regen. First two options give you the same damage, last option gives you more damage because it rolls % higher. Spell Damage = Chaos Damage
Chaos Large Clusters Jewels are better because they roll 12% instead of 10% Spell Damage

If you want to do Elemental Reflect maps you need to link Void Manipulation to your Tempest Shield, otherwise you will die from the reflected Lightning Damage from Tempest Shield. You can either leave it linked permanently or use Precision + 
Tempest Shield + Enlighten and replace Precision with Void Manipulation when you have an Elemental Reflect map.

To get 90% Max Res with Purity of Ice you need level 21 Purity of Ice + more aura effect on the tree
If you don't have enough mana for it you need to use Treachery Runegraft

When using Split Personality make sure to copy the Large Cluster Jewel path like in the PoB because you get additional bonusses if the path from it to your Class Starting Point it's longer.

Instead of using Level 6 Awakened Cast on Crit you can use Gemcraft Runegraft and you get the same amount of CDR for less investment

--------------------------------------------------------------------------TRANSITIONING TO MAGEBLOOD--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Step 1:
You have 2 options:
1. Get 52% CDR and use Silver Flask + Mageblood to get the required attack rate. I recommend going for double elevated boots Tailwind/Tailwind Effect + 16%+ CDR
(CDR Breakpoints Explained: https://youtu.be/iRxlrOLX83g HIGHLY RECOMMEND WATCHING THIS VIDEO, IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE DOING, DON'T SKIP THIS)
2. Don't use Silver Flask until you get the 52% CDR because you will mess your trigger rate

Step 2:
Buy the flasks then build from there, upgrading what you think you need the most, I don't have a priority order for this
(Stormshroud + 52%+ Chance to Avoid Being Shocked flask mod makes you Elemental Ailment Imune)

You should go for Melding of the Flesh only when your gear is good enough to have capped resistances with it

Dagger
----------------------------------------------------------------
https://youtu.be/Qcvqr1y8Yos

Started Dagger:
(ilvl 73+)

1. Get Fractured Crit Chance or Crit Multiplier and spam Deafening Essence of Zeal until you hit the other crit mod at your desired tier. Preferably you want double t1 on both crit mods.
2. If prefixes are full you need to annul and hope you don't remove any suffix, if you remove a suffix, you start over from step 1. 
3. Lock suffixes and use Veiled Chaos Orb. You need an open Prefix to bench craft %Physical Damage and unveil either %Chaos Damage or %Spell Damage
4. Craft Hits can't be Evaded

Mid Dagger:
(ilvl 76+ for Spell Crit Chance)

1. Get Fractured Spell Crit Chance or Crit Multiplier and spam Deafening Essence of Zeal until you hit the other crit mod at your desired tier. Preferably you want double t1 on both crit mods.
2. If prefixes are full you need to annul and hope you don't remove any suffix, if you remove a suffix, you start over from step 1. 
3. Lock suffixes and use Veiled Chaos Orb. You need an open Prefix to bench craft %Physical Damage and unveil either %Chaos Damage or %Spell Damage
4. Craft Hits can't be Evaded


Endgame Dagger:
(ilvl 76-82 for Spell Crit Chance or ilvl 73-82 for Crit Chance)

1. Get Fractured Spell Crit Chance or Crit Multiplier and spam Deafening Essence of Zeal until you hit the other crit mod at your desired tier. Preferably you want double t1 on both crit mods.
2. If prefixes are full you need to annul and hope you don't remove any suffix, if you remove a suffix, you start over from step 1. 
3. Lock suffixes and use Veiled Chaos Orb. You need an open Prefix to bench craft %Physical Damage and unveil either %Chaos Damage or %Spell Damage
4. Lock suffixes and if prefixes are full you need to annul the other mod so you end up with your desired unveiled mod and suffixes cannot be changed only
5. Use harvest Add/Remove Chaos and it's 50/50 to remove "Suffixes cannot be changed" and you are guaranteed to get +1 to all Chaos
6. Craft Hits can't be Evaded

Body Armour
----------------------------------------------------------------
Cheaper Version:

(Buy a few bases of ilvl 86 Twilight Regalias)
(Optional buy 1 higher quality Regalia, fair warning, it is not always possible to keep this base)

1. Decide on the 3 prefixes you would like on your chest, they have to be natural modifiers. For this chest we will use ES, ES% and Hybrid ES%
2. On Chest A attempt to make a chest with only Max ES and ES% as the only prefixes, the method of doing so can be thru any method you want. I suggest dense fossils or harvest, check prices and adjust accordingly
3. Chest B attempt to make the only prefixes the hybrid ES% mod and EITHER of the two prefixes from Chest A. This means either flat ES or ES%.  MORE EXPENSIVE: Use a lower quality essence that rolls a mod that is not natural to the chest, 
such as armour. MAKE SURE THE ESSENCE is not OF THE ESSENCE when checking the tier of the mod. Use the essensce until it rolls the mod that is not present on Base A and a shared mod of base A. This increased the odds as the more 
prefixes on the item the more likely the item has full prefixes when recombed. It will include all the modifiers when deciding how many to give and after its decided on the amount of prefixes to give it blocks modifiers that cannot exist on the chest 
as a natural mod, which in this case is armour
(The base the recomb uses is random, the chance of the base being used is always a 50/50)
5. Go to the recomb and fuse the two chest, use the 100% option of recomb. 2+2 = 3 in the recomb. The outcome chest has a very high likelihood of having all 3 prefixes and even more if both chests or just 1 chest had a non natural mod (NNM) 
and keeping the tiers of the rolled mods. It helps if the suffix amount is low as well but does not always affect the outcome
6. Suffixes can be done using standard eldritch crafting, there are a lot of usable mods. The best would be INT > Any t1 res ( you can change which type through harvest)
If done right and you won the recomb 50/50 of selecting the higher quality base you will have a 1100+ es chest, with two good suffix and a crafted modifer of whatever you need

The same concept applies to suffixes as prefixes if you plan to create different items using the 2+2=3 recomb method.
If you would like a veild mod on your chest after prefixes are done craft Prefixes cannot be changed, block the mods you don't want and veiled chaos until you get the mod you want, not recommended as it can brick the item

Expensive Version:

1. Buy ilvl86 base with Global Defences fractured or you can do it yourself
2. Spam Loathing Essence until you get t1 INT
3. Wipe prefixes by crafting suffix cannot be changed and scour
4. Make Searing Exarch the Dominant implicit
5. Go to crafting bench and type mana|remove
6. Craft mana onto the chest and use a Eldritch Exalt 
7. If you miss ES or %ES remove the mana craft and eldritch annul and repeat step 6. 
8. Once you hit ES or %ES remove the mana craft mod and eldritch exalt again, if you miss try to eldritch annul the mod off. If you remove the es mod annul again and go back to step 6.
9. Craft whatever suffix you want

Optional: Tailoring orb until you get a defence modifier or explict modifers

Boots
----------------------------------------------------------------
Budget Version: 

1. Buy warlock boots with either elevated CDR or Elevated tailwind. (can also make both, potentially cheaper) 
2. Buy any pair of boots with the mod you didn't buy from step1.
3. Awakeners orb the shitty boots into the warlock boots.

Expensive good boots:

1. Either buy a pair of magic boots(blue) with elevated tailwind on warlock or make them.
2. Use beast crafting to apply hinekoras lock onto your magic tailwind boots.
3. Buy or make a donor pair of boots with elevated CDR and any other influenced mod doesn't matter as long as it has an influenced mod. 
4. Check the lock with an awakeners orb from the donor boots (it helps to have more than 1 to off set the cost of the beast) If you win the 50/50 where you have both elevated CDR and elevated Tailwind. Check which other suffix you got. Int is good, 
t1 res is good, and have 1 open prefix. (Any t1 res can be changed to the res of your choice using harvest bench craft)
5. If you checked all your lock outputs with your donor boots and it's all bad, reapply the lock using the beastcraft again.
6. If you want ES boots skip to the bottom, this is more expensive and can brick. Once you have 3 suffix you like, wipe prefix by using suffix cannot be changed and scour. 
7. Lock suffix again, veiled chaos, and craft life before unveiling, 100% chance to get movement speed.
8. If you have an open prefix after the unveil, craft life and slam. 
9. Remove life craft and craft whatever you want

ES boots:

1. From the point where u have a boot with 3 suffix you like craft suffix cannot be changed.
2. Harvest reforge defense. 
3. If 3 prefixes, it's bricked. Either sell it, use it or take the 50/50 annul.
4. If you hit ES and/or Max ES or any variation of ES you want continue otherwise go to step 1.
5. Craft suffix cannot be changed and veiled ex slam, 1/3 or 50/50 to hit the suffix cannot be changed, craft life and take any MS mod. 
6. It's done, just craft the other ES mod you are missing

If your boots are very good like T1 INT or you rolled T1 ES and T1 %ES, I would use locks for the veild ex slam.

Ring
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Get Fractured t1 INT base ilvl84 and use Intrinsic Catalysts
2. Spam Deafening Essence of Scorn until you hit any t1 Resistance - You can change it later with Harvest Swap. If you hit ES/Evasion with 2 open prefixes, craft mana then exalt slam for chance to get ES/Evasion
3. Craft Suffixes cannot be Changed
4. Harvest Reforge Defence until you get both ES and Evasion mods. Evasion can be any tier, we use it only for the mastery. Preferably you want open Prefix for crafting 17% Increased Damage. If Harvest Reforge Defence adds only 1 mod 
ES/Evasion you can exalt slam for the other one
5. If Harvest Reforge Defence fills your prefixes you need to yolo annul

Gloves
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Get Fractured t1 INT base ilvl84 preferably Warlock Gloves
2. Spam Deafening Essence of Zeal until you hit any t1 Resistance - You can change it later with Harvest Swap
3. Craft Suffixes cannot be Changed
4. Make Searing Exarch the Dominant implicit
5. Go to crafting bench and type mana|remove
6. Craft mana onto the gloves and use a Eldritch Exalt 
7. If you miss ES or %ES remove the mana craft and eldritch annul and repeat step 6. 
8. Once you hit ES or %ES remove the mana craft mod and eldritch exalt again, if you miss try to eldritch annul the mod off. If you remove the ES mod annul again and go back to step 6.
9. Craft your preferred prefix

Depending on your current investment into the build you might be able to do more or less of the bad mods. Also the number of bad mods on a single map matters a lot, so you should try and see which ones you can do and which ones you can't
Everything in this section is highly variable on multiple factors like gear, content that you run and how juiced it is

Brick Mods:
Physical Reflect
Elemental Reflect(If you have Void Manipulation linked to Tempest Shield you can do Elemental Reflect)

Bad Mods:
Reduced Extra Damage from Critical Strikes - This will be very slow
Less Cooldown Recovery Rate - On high budget it will be fine on trash mobs but you will feel it versus Uniques and maybe Rares
+50% Chance to Block Attack Damage - On high budget it will be fine on trash mobs but you will feel it versus Uniques and maybe Rares
Less Defences - You will have around Half of your ES and Armour
Deal no damage for 3 seconds
Reduced Action Speed(If you have Garb of the Ephemeral on your Mercenary you can do this)

Bad Mods but manageable in some situations:
Volatile Cores
Tentacle Fiends
Targeted by Meteor

Other Mods that you should keep an eye on:
-Max Res
100% More Monster Life
Drowning Orbs
Petrification Statues

This was my regex on high budget before Void Manipulation on Tempest Shield:
"!s refl|kes|efe|coo|k at|ever"

This was my regex on high budget with Void Manipulation on Tempest Shield:
"!efe|f ph|kes|coo|k at|ever"

For lower budget you should make your own regex and filter out which bad mods you can't or don't want to run: https://poe.re/#/maps
