EQUIPMENT
-
BODY ARMOUR
- I also recommend a Belly of The Beast, it provides up to 40% increased maximum life and 15% to all elemental resistances.
- You can also use a rare body armour with life, elemental resistances and armour. Examples here.
-
AXE
- Look for a rare Axe with good Flat Physical Damage. Examples here.
- When you have a little more currency look for one good Axe with chance to deal 100% more damage with Bleeding. Examples here.
-
SHIELD
- The best shield for this build is The Surrender, It grants 30% chance to block, Up to 120 Life, up to 1513 armour, +1500 armour if you've blocked recently and you recover 250 Life when you block. Unfortunately it's a bit expensive.
- The best budget option is the Lioneyes' Remorse, it grants 30% Block Chance, up to 210 Life and up to 1727 Armour.
-
BOW AND QUIVER
- When moving, enemies take 3 times more damage with bleeding. We’re using a second set of weapons to use Ensnare Arrow that keep enemies moving even when they are not.
- For your Bow I recommend Quill Rain because of its attack speed.
- For you Quiver look for a Rearguard, it grants up to 24% chance to block attacks, great for keeping a great chance to block even when using your Bow setup.
-
HELMET
- Rare helmet with life, elemental resistances and armour. Examples here.
-
GLOVES
- Rare gloves with life, elemental resistances and armour. Examples here.
-
BOOTS
- Rare boots with movement speed, life, elemental resistances and armour. Examples here.
-
BELT
- A rare belt with life and elemental resistances. Examples here.
-
RING #1
- A rare ring with life, elemental resistances and Dexterity. Examples here.
-
RING #2
- A rare ring with life, elemental resistances and Intelligence. Examples here.
-
AMULET
- A rare amulet with life, elemental resistances and Intelligence. Examples here.
-
FLASKS
- Divine Life Flasks. Look for mods like ''instant recovery'', ''removes bleeding'' and ''removes freeze''. Examples here and here.
- Quartz Flask are awesome here because they allow us to move through enemies. Examples here.
- Quicksilver flask is awesome for increasing your Clear Speed, Best Mods are ‘’Increased Movement Speed During Flask Effect’’ and ‘’Increased Duration’’. Examples here.
- A Witchfire's Brew is awesome for clearing maps, it grants up to 40% increased damage over time and curses nearby enemies with Despair for more damage over time taken..
- A Rumi's Concoction is the best Flask for this build, it grants the extra block chance we need to get Max Block.
-

THIS BUILD'S FAQ

Is there a good place to buy unique items?

I'm lvl 40 and I'm dying a lot, what can I do?
- Please take a look at your Elemental Resistances, they are really important for your survivability. After lvl 40 try to keep at least 50% of each. The meximum is 75%, try to reach that when on end game.

I don't have as much HP as the gameplay shows and I've followed the Skill Tree step by step. Can you help me?
