ds lily's Notes
NONE OF THE ALT QUALITY / AWAKENED GEMS ARE REQUIRED. I LEAGUE STARTED THIS BUILD LAST LEAGUE AND IT WAS GOOD.
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

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Blade blast needs cast speed to feel good, if it feels bad early you can swap conc effect in your blade fall links with faster casting
- There are 2 item sets in the items section, one with full end game (not insane gear but pretty good, prob like 20d absolute max in softcore) and one with trash day 1 gear
- 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
- I dont think runebinder is worth it
- If you use the runebinder tree you have to swap annoint to entrench to be suppression capped
- 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, HASTE
DIVINE BLESSING MALEVOLENCE
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.
OCCULTIST:
if you are occultist you have to use chance to poison in your gem links until you get septic spells
dont recommend this if ur not pretty comfortable with the game
