ds lily's Notes

NONE OF THE ALT QUALITY / AWAKENED GEMS ARE REQUIRED. I LEAGUE STARTED THIS BUILD LAST LEAGUE AND IT WAS GOOD. JUST USE OBLITERATION BUT A WAND WILL BE BETTER FOR SINGLE TARGET, OR JUST USE COLD IRON POINT. WAND CRAFT: alt roll +1 all gems on pagan wand -> regal -> cannot roll caster mods -> annul off suffix you regaled on -> multimod prefixes cannot be changed + cannot roll attack mods -> augment phys with harvest -> multi mod on chaos damage/increased chaos skill effect + cast speed and slam on last suffix and you are done OR if you want to spend more money for a better weapon then continue reading CONTINUED CRAFT AFTER AUGMENT PHYS: pray that the augment does not remove prefix cannot be changed to save you some divines, if it does renive prefix cannot be changed you will need to recraft it. -> aisling unveil and hope it unveils a prefix -> if it hits a suffix then prefix cant be changed + scour -> unveil again -> repeat until prefix is unveiled -> unveil chaos damage/duration -> if it does not hit chaos damage choose a NON CASTER unveil mod -> craft cannot roll caster mods -> annul the new bad unveil prefix -> repeat until you hit chaos dam/duration -> multi mod chaos dot + cast speed ULTRA BUDGET WAND CRAFT: Goto act 1 with a new character, buy an item level 4 wand -> aetheric + abberant fossils until you hit phys spell + chaos dot multi, craft cast speed WAND CRAFTING VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on36es1j_y0 IMPORTANT NOTES: - There are 2 item sets in the items section, one hc oriented one sc oriented, the hc version is overall better rounded - For dmg oriented build swap purity of elements for herald of agony - I would help alira until you get to maps then respec it after to ensure you have no res issues - Use determination until you get lightning coil then swap to purity of elements - Reduced mana cost flask is important for divine blessing - If you cant get an enlighten early, try to get mana reservation on helmet implicit from eldritch currency - IMPORTANT EARLY AURAS - GRACE, HERALD OF AGONY, PURITY OF ELEMENTS IF NEEDED, IF NOT NEEDED THEN MALEVOLENCE. IF PURITY IS NOT NEEDED THEN RUN MALEV AS MAIN AURA AND HASTE AS DIVINE BLESSING. IF PURITY IS NEEDED THEN RUN MALEV AS DIVINE BLESSING AND DROP HASTE. AFFLICTION ASCENDANCY: WARLOCK IS THE BEST IF PENANCE MARK WORKS RELIABLY WITH POISON PROLIF. Primalist definitely the best once you get a few charms, before you get the charms go warden with either gloves or boots empty.
