These two items are your mandatory unique items for this build. The Essence Worm lets you run 3 auras and the Kiara's determination lets you mitigate the stun and freeze from being CI. Other than that, the other Uniques are all optional. Basically, you cap your resistances, then get as much Dex/Str as you can up to 160 dex and about 100 str then you can stack ES on top of that. Currently, I am sitting at 8.6k ES with some more ES nodes to pick up and some room to grow up to about 13-14k. The more ES you have the more you can deal with some of the harder content in the game. You should also be trying to get the boot enchant from the lab that allows you to have a % stun immunity on kill. This is mainly a quality of life peark of the build, but it is something you will want to aim to get when you have Uber Lab on farm. Links

maybe put a power on crit on the main link or a second link would be better, the effectivness of unstable infusion is really sucks. also with that little mana left, it would be really hard to stack enough blade before you going into the boss room, not to mention some bosses are not easily to be hit or can be cursed so you can leech the mana.
your mana recovery must be really high to sustain enough blade on the boss room. But thats only my suspection. Last edited by fljsdbd#7138 on Oct 19, 2016, 9:40:14 PM
