Gems Setup

Pseudo 6-7L Vaal Righteous Fire

Vaal Righteous Fire, Elemental Focus, Burning Damage, Increased AOE/Conc Effect, Arcane Surge, Swift Affliction. (In Helmet)

Arcane Surge gives RF a Duration tag, that enables us to use Swift Affliction. Sounds stupid, but it works. The other option is to get an Elder Helmet that gives you Conc Effect/Burning Damage/30% More Elemental Damage for a pseudo-7 link for your RF. You can then put a 6L Scorching Ray in your chest instead.

4-6L Scorching Ray

Scorching Ray, Burning Damage, Elemental Focus, Efficacy, Controlled Destruction, Swift Affliction

3L Orb of Storms

Orb of Storms, Curse on Hit, Flammability

Cast on hard rares/uniques/bosses for extra damage and to maintain Elemental Overload.

3L Shield Charge

Shield Charge, Faster Attacks, Fortify

4L Aura Setup

Purity of Lightning, Purity of Ice, Enlighten 4, Blood Magic 21

+2 or +3 Unsets

Purity of Fire (Level 23 total is the breakpoint for the highest amount of Max Res we can get)

3L Aura Setup

Discipline, Vitality, Enlighten 4

Random 1L's

Flame Dash (for ledges, not needed), Portal (I'm lazy)

 

Gear Setup

Overview

Move the mouse on the bold poe equipment to see needed mod

Doryani's Catalyst, Titanium Spirit Shield, Hubris Circlet, Shavronne's Wrappings, Sorcerer Gloves, Presence of Chayula, Rift Twirl Unset Ring, Doom Grasp Unset Ring, Stygian Vise, Sorcerer Boots

Weapon: Doryani's Catalyst

Focus on the % Elemental Damage roll, after that look for Attack Speed and Crit Strike Chance.

Shield

Look for a Rare with the highest Energy Shield you can get, look for Resists if you need, then Intelligence/Spell Damage/Reduced Damage Taken Over Time.

Chest: Shavronne's Wrappings

Focus on Energy Shield roll, the higher the better. Lightning Resist next.

Helmet

Similar to shield, you'll be looking for the highest possible Energy shield total you can get. After that, focus on getting resists to cap, then Intelligence for more overall ES. You can use Essence of Horror for 30% More Damage on RF/SR.

Amulet

Presence of Chayula. +1 Curse/Max Resists are both really nice corruptions.

Rings

Rare Unset rings with +2/3 level of Socketed Gems, then grab Energy Shield/Resists/Stats.

Gloves

Rares with the highest possible ES, then go for Stats/Resists. You can use Essence of Delirium for 30% More Damage on RF/SR.

GET ADDED COLD OR LIGHTNING TO ATTACKS ON EITHER RINGS OR GLOVES FOR ELEMENTAL EQUILIBRIUM. I HAVE IT ON A RING.

Belt

Go for a Shaped Rare belt (Ideally Stygian on Standard) that has Energy Shield Recovery Rate. It's a more multiplier for our total ES Regen. After that, focus on Energy Shield, Intelligence (Essence Only), Strength/Resists.

Boots

Look for a Rare with the highest Energy Shield you can get, Movement speed, Resists if you need, and always more Intelligence for more ES total.

 

In League you'll be looking for at least 10-12k+ ES total. In Standard you should be able to achieve 14k+ fairly easily.

 

Jewel Stat Priorities

There's two ways to look at jewels. For maximum ES, or maximum DPS. I went for both.

DPS Priorities

• Burning Damage
• Fire Damage
• Damage Over Time/Damage
• Spell Damage/Spell Damage While Holding a Shield (For SR)
• Area Damage (For RF)

ES Priorities

• % Maximum Energy Shield
• Intelligence
• Int + Str/Int + Dex

Stats/Resists IF you need them.

You'll also be using 2 Energy From Within jewels and a Watcher's Eye. Go for Energy Shield Recovery While Affected by Discipline Eye, if you can get % Energy Shield Regen with Discipline/% Mana as ES with Clarity as well, great.

Flask

Chemist's Ruby Flask of Heat, Ample Sulphur Flask of Staunching, Rumi's Concoction, Experimenter's Quicksilver Flask of Adrenaline, Witchfire Brew

You want bleed/curse/freeze immunity somewhere. Mix and match.
