Gems Setup

6 Link with Hunter Additional Strike Gloves

Vaal Lightning Strike - Added Cold Damage - Nightblade Support - Inspiration Support - Ele Damage with Attacks - Trinity

6 Link without Hunter Additional Strike Gloves

Vaal Lightning Strike - Added Cold Damage - Nightblade Support - Ancestral Call - Trinity- Ele Damage/Inspiration

Multi Totem

Ancestral Protector - Multi Totem Support - Culling Strike

If you want more boss damage you can add a normal ancestral warchief into this set up but I don't like having to press another button

You can drop culling strike when you get it on the tree or glove

Auras and Curses

Grace - Precision - Anger - Defiance Banner

Assassins Mark - Mark on Hit Support 

You will need the reservation wheel, precision 100% reservation Mastery and Grace 25% Mastery to run these comfortably

Movement Skill

Whirling Blades - Faster Attacks - Flame Dash (Unlinked) - Withering Step (Unlinked)

Withering step is very important as it helps is reset the nightblade elusive buff increasing our damage. Use this skill on LMB/Move

Flame Dash is just used to clear gaps and as a safe movement skill in boss fights

Cast When Damage Taken Setup

CWDT (Level 3) - Immortal Call (Level 5) - Increased Duration - Inspiration

Feel free to push the CWDT gems higher but watch out for Mana cost which is why inspiration is linked

Gear Setup

This gear is more expensive that you need to clear most content so will be updating soon

YOU WANT TO GET EVASION ON ALL YOUR GEAR. IF YOU CAN RUN PURE EVASION BASES AND SHIELD

Weapon

You want an Imperial Claw with:

• Attack Speed (At least 22%)
• Crit Chance
• Elemental Damage (Any type is fine and the more the better)
• Craft Ele penetration if you have a spare prefix

Shield

Ideally on here you want a base that gives movement speed:

• Life
• Block/Spell Suppression (This apparently has much higher rolls in 3.16 up to 16%)
• Max Resistances
• Resists

Body Armour

You have lots of options here. You can go Farruls Fur for instant Power and Frenzy Charges.

My recommendation early on is a Hunter/Elder Chest il84 with Attacks have % chance to crit as this is easy to roll with attack or crit crafts in Harvest. You want like on it and craft 10% of life as Extra Energy Shield (Gravicius Unlock)

Astral Plate
+12% to all Elemental Resistances
+48 to Armour
+116 to maximum Life
+26% to Cold Resistance
Attacks have +1.44% to Critical Strike Chance
Gain 10% of Maximum Life as Extra Maximum Energy Shield

If these are too expensive due to the conqueror changes check out what new influenced mods you can roll that boost DPS

There are lots of other options such as:

• Warlord Socketed Gems -15 Mana Cost
• Power Charge on Hit
• Extra Curse

Gloves

Hunter Gloves item level 80 with Strikes Target 1 Additional Enemy

• Life
• Resistances
• Attack Speed
• Accuracy (Optional)

For end game awakener orb together (Warlord Culling strike + Hunter Additional Strike]

Helmet

Lightning Strike pierces 3 additional Targets
---------------------------------------------------
Adds 76 to 126 Cold Damage
Your Hits treat Cold Resistance as 10% higher than actual value
------------------------------------------------------------------------
+98 to maximum Life
+11% to Fire Resistance
+47% to Cold Resistance
+43% to Lightning Resistance
5% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Fire Damage

BiS will be a Blizzard Helm with Anger Mana reservation (This is needed to get all the auras in):

• Life
• Res
• Crafted Phys Taken as Fire (Korrell Syndicate Unlock)

Second would be a DEX redeemer helmet il 83+ with 10% Phys damage taken as cold

Cheaper option would be any helmet with life, res and then craft using Life Fossils

Boots

Rare Boots with:

Hunter il 80 boots with:

• Life- Projectiles pierce 2 additional targets (Means we dont need lightning strike enchange
• Life
• resists

Craft movement speed + Onslaught (Syndicate Unlock)

Rings

Mark of The Elder + Shaper il 80+ with Assassins Mark on Hit

Amulet

Rare Amulet which will need STR and INT:

• Life
• Attributes
• Crit Multi
• Ele Damage with Attacks or Flat Ele Damage

* Annoint Prismatic Skin (End Game) or Divine Judgement (Cheap and Strong)

Belt

This is where we need a ton of resists and probably some strength as this will make it cheaper to gear the influenced items as we will not need as much resistances on them. 

Cluster Jewels

8 passive lightning or cold jewel with:

• Stormrider (Needed)
• Sadist
• Prismatic Heart (We do not allocate this it just saves points)

You do not need to allocate Prismatic Heart this is just to save points.

Stormrider gives us power charges which is a huge DPS boost.

Jewels

Lethal Pride Legion Jewel

We put a Lethal Pride Jewel here. You will need to use Divine Orbs on it to get stats the help us. This jewel randomly allocates extra stats to any notables you have specced on your tree.

You are looking for:

• Intimidate on hit
• Chance to deal double damage
• Life %
• Physical Damage taken as fire damage

If you can both intimidate and double damage that is a huge DPS increase

Other Jewels

For other Jewels you want:

• Life
• Critical Strike Multiplier with Lightning Skills
• Critical Strike Multiplier with Elemental Skills
• Attack Speed (With Shield/Claw or one handed Weapon

Any Mix will be good. We are missing 10% ailment avoidance if we do not pick any up on gear, so we can get this as a harvest craft or corrupted implicit on a jewel.

Flasks

I do not run Quicksilver flasks as feel with whirling blades we do not really need more movement speed. I run:

• Jade Flasks for extra Evasion - Try and get increased Evasion as a Suffix
• Silver Flask for Onslaught - Suffix up to you but I recommend Poison
• Atziri's Promise/Sulphur Flask
• Bleeding Life Flask
• Diamond Flask
