Lancing Steel
It fires 4 projectiles, but it can consume Steel Shards to fire 200% more projectiles. So, if you get more projectiles from other sources you end up firing over 40 Projectiles. When you equip Lancing Steel you’ll automatically get the Call of Steel skill. This skill is the one you use to generate Steel Shards to make Lancing Steel fire more projectiles. And thanks to Lord of Steel Jewel, you can use Call of Steel with high use speed. Call of Steel also deals damage in the area around your impaled enemies. So you should use it all the time. Not only to generate Steel Shards, but also to get more clear speed.

- Elreon Jewelry are in my opinion the best items to level any build, imagine goes all the way until lvl 50 ~ 60 without needing to spend one single Mana point. But low level ones might be hard to acquire if you are not playing on Standard. If you are playing on the Challenge League check the next ring.
