Hi all. First time player and loving the game and the quality of this guide is exceptional. I have read extensively before posting this, apologies if I missed the answer.

I have taken clear mind and have thus dropped clarity. I did read that tempest was an option but am assuming that was for the shield variant of the build. I am using daggers. I am wondering what is the optimal replacement. I currently have a lvl 10 conductivity. Is there an obvious choice or is it a bit open ? Any help appreciated.

Hi again, any thoughts, wild guesses, vague unsubstantiated theories, all welcome :)

I started playing season a little bit too late to get many of these "cheap" items for a low price. Seems like everyone is playing this build!

would it be better to use herald of thunder or wrath in essence worm? which is more damage?

herald of thunder is like 5% more damage, wrath is 24%

Which gems i need to put on Command of the pit gloves? storm brand + increased duration + mana leech??

Is this a good jewel to use?

no, we want HP on jewels

I noticed Storm Brand remains active after switching weapons. Any thought on using a 6 link Storm brand for a boss killer in the second slot, then switch to the dual daggers? I’d probably go back to OoS in the 4 link. For the weapon use an Agnerod West and make one of the gems increased duration. I’d also have to rework gems so golems and buffs are not in weapons or they’d be removed every weapon swap.

any recommendations for uniques while leveling to speed things up? :)

I value immediate upgrades over Inpulsa, but some people would argue otherwise.
Missing a skill point from quest.
Craft on gloves and amulet.
Minion or enchanted helm.
Shaped weapons (only when moderately priced, I paid 10 and 25c for mine, might have Annulled one).
Abyss belt for extra jewel.
Purity of Flesh and extra chaos resist.
Jewel upgrades. None have HP, only 1 has 2 worthwhile damage mods.
Once gear is optimized to remove a ring, switch to Essence Worm + Wrath.

Then I would start saving for Inpulsa.

thanks for the advice, a few questions.

1) weapon choice

50% global crit strike chance kris (golden/platinum), or
6% chance to block attack damage (sai)

or it doesn't have a big difference for me atm?

also, should i buy a rare one or craft myself like the rest?

2) i still have 1 unallocated skill point, i have total 24 passives from quests. i dont think i am missing?

3) what recommended craft do u think i should make? resist on amulet and attack/cast speed on gloves?

3) i wanted to change bone helm, but is a shaped bone helm important? or a non shaped one will do for now? if i would like to get a shaped bone helm, which ilvl should it be the minimum if i would like to do crafting myself on it?

4) bis for gloves are elder gloves right? if so, which is the mod that is important from elder gloves? increased attack and cast speed? (ilvl 85 for t1)

yeah been looking for a decent abyss belt and decent jewels, no luck for me atm

btw, we can craft a somewhat decent DPS helmet the same way we craft weapons (with alterations)


It's possible to get more damage from a helmet with fossil crafting (metallic, prismatic, pristine). With t1 lightning damage to spells and -9% lightning resistancses to nearby enemies. But it's not easy to get a decent HP and res rolls aswell
