Crosshack's Notes

Gear cost about 15div to craft/buy (inc jewels and olroth's) but price can go up since pieces are rare but who is going to want to do this build (all you need is 14 14 15 which is much cheaper than what I have because I didn't realise I needed another 10 until too late) Gems are like 6 div if you buy straight but you cna gamble with prime regrading lenses which have better EV (I bought one for 1.5 div because I was lucky and hit the other with my first regarding attempt) For olroth's roll doesn't matter unless you hit exactly 56 charges (and even then it's a minor boost, not worth the extra 11 div to get) For chest crit strike afflicition is slightly better than inspiration if you can bear the mana increase but MoM is important I think for degens...I might regret this bit lol Kulemak u want 2 of inc chaos, inc cold, inc chaos dot or support gems (not that important) Can afford some chaos res because I'm taking a billion dmg from heartbound loop I think Divergent creeping frost is better (use inc aoe support in that case) but too exxy for now lol Flasks potentially to play around with: Witchfire if can't fit hextouch despair on FR Vessel of vinktar? Soul ripper but need to figure out what vaal skill to use (likely an aura one right) -- vaal clarity is legit a good idea here and lets us go for grace/hatred as a reservation Doedre's Elixr?!?!?! Test replica rumi's but 99% chance it won't be bugged if omega juiced can swap purity of elements for hatred but honestly the dps diff is not htat large and capping res is trek (lets us craft str to cover problems with stats as well) can take the chaos res line as well on WE OR take the sublime vision for purity of elements (but its a bit expensicve lol) GEMS Staff: Creping frost Chest: Ice spear Helm: divine blessing - hatred/purity || temp chains - blasphemy Gloves: flamedash/frostblink - hextouch - despair || withering step Boots: Skellies - minion speed - cwdt - FR Still need: WE jewel or corrupted blood immunity jewel 1 strength from somewhere kekw phys catalyst up heartbound loop (not enough dmg for lvl 22 cwdt otherwise) Optimisations: Maybe get to 56 charges might let us get one passive point back ~ 1 div? Get enchant on staff (ele dmg) ~ 1 div Get random lab enchant on boots and belts I guess lol ~ 3 div Find inc charges gained on timeless jewel ~ ???? get temp chains enchant on helm with eldrich to be able to go with a better self curse ring (will have to self craft sadge) ~20 div 3 passive voices ~ 44 div
