Martyr ( best in slot weapon until you can purchase a Cane of Kulemak with +3 support gems, Fire Damge and Fire Damage Over Time Multipler - THIS IS VERY VERY EXPENSIVE and ultra end-game ) 1.a. Doedre's Damning unique ring gives you +1 curse and enables you to cast a Hex as an Aura, giving good QOL with downside to resists, life etc. 2. Vixen's Entrapment - This glove gives you +1 curse so you can replace Doedre's Damning if you're using it. 3. Windshreek - This also gives you an additional curse, good MS and armor 4. Pyre Ring - Gives alot of damage and some res. Make sure to stay res capped 5. Intuitive Leap - Place it above the Witch starting zone to save some points NOTE: These are my personal prefferences and you can purchase them in whichever order you choose to, depending on your budget. IMPORTANT NOTES: Make sure to have your hexes are in Vixen's once you have this item, because it will trigger them when you use Flammability, this means, Flammability CANNOT be in Vixen's and has to be casted manually. Pantheon ( personal prefference ): Major: Brine King with the upgrade to be immune to Freeze Minor: Soul of Garukan OR Soul of Aberath and compensate for the missing 40% ailment mitigation with jewels when possible, until then, run flasks with ailment immunity. Jewels: Best thing to look out for in Jewels are: Fire damage, Fire damage over time Multiplier, Damage over time Multi, Reduced duration of Ailments, % Increased maximum life, missing attribues or missing res Bandits: Help Alira to get res capped, then you can respec and take the 2 passive points Your weapon will be the one, the only Martyr of Innocence, huge damage and a very solid weapon, a bit pricey in the beginning of the league, but like I said, it's place is set in stone, as few items can compete with it at this price range. The only upgrade from here is a Cane of Kulemak with fire damage, fire damage over time multiplier and +3 to socketed support gems. Until you have the funds for Martyr, you can use 2 wands, with % fire damage, % burning damage, flat fire to spells, and anything with damage over time multiplier. Curses: By default, a player can have a maximum of 1 curse on a target, regardless of how it's applied. This can be increased by various means like Unique items and Whispers of Doom. If you do not have any items or passives that give you additional curse, you cannot have more than 1 curse on the enemy. Blasphemy is a support gem that lets you use a curse as an aura, hence reserving mana, but not being able to gain Doom, this is a good QOL feature for this build, as it removes the need to press more than 1 button while leveling, with the downside of doing less damage. Only do this if you're willing to sacrifice damage, or have a unique item that gives you an additional curse. If you do have a unique item that allows you to use an additional curse, use elemental weakness as aura for a bit more damage, or temp chains as an aura for survivability, while still self-casting flammability on single target or mobs with a higher life pool.
