EQUIPMENT

BODY ARMOUR
- The best body armour for this build would be a rare one with a lot life, some evasion and energy shield, and more critical strike chance for spells. Examples here.
- As a budget option I recommend a rare one with a lot life, a lot of evasion and some energy shield. Examples here.
-
WEAPON
- Void Battery is best Cost/Benefit weapon for this build, granting 25% spell damage for each Power Charge and 1 extra Power Charge. Using 2 you have 8 Power Charges and 400% increased spell damage.
- But if currency is a problem, Singularity is a super budget alternative for you.
-
HELMET
- The best helmet you can get is a rare one with life, evasion and Nearby Enemies have -9% Cold Resistance. Examples here.
- Starkonja's Head is a very good budget choice, it grants up to 100 life and a huge evasion boost.
-
GLOVES
- Rare Evasion gloves with life and elemental resistances. Examples here.
-
BOOTS
- Rare Evasion boots with movement speed, life and elemental resistances. Examples here.
-
BELT

RING #1

-
RING #2

-
AMULET
- The Pandemonius is expensive and not mandatory, but if you have the money to buy it you should. This amulet grants 20% cold penetration, 30% increased cold damage and it blinds your enemies granting more survivability.
- A rare Amulet with Life, strength and some resistances. Examples here.
-
FLASKS
- Divine Life Flasks. Look for mods like ''instant recovery'', ''removes bleeding'' and ''removes freeze''. Examples here and here.
- Diamond Flask for more critical strikes. Look for mods like "increased duration" and "increased evasion during flask effect". Examples here.
- 1 Quicksilver Flask for more clear speed. Examples here.
- A Jade Flask is really important because it grants +3000 Evasion. Best mods are Increased Duration and Increased Evasion. Examples here.
- The good old Atziri's Promise for a big boost to your damage.
- A Wise Oak to boost your damage with Lightning penetration. Remember that your uncapped cold resistance must be the highest. Details here.

THIS BUILD'S FAQ
-
Is there a good place to buy unique items?
- Not only for unique items, poe.trade or pathofexile.com/trade are great websites for trading your 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?
- Look for more HP on your rare gear. You can have ''+89 to maximum life'' on your helmet for instance.
-
You say the Build is Cheap, but there are some expensive recommended items there. How?
