Aruklas's Notes
Hey Guys, closed beta Veteran here and never posted a build guide in my life. Put alot of effort into this, would be glad if you could hit the sub button if you like it ;)
The Lone Wolf or the Black Sheep? - anyways - Help me out fellas!
FULL guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yRr2-vx1Ak
Timestamps in the youtube description!

Rage Clip: https://www.youtube.com/clip/Ugkx-q4haY_Pt9wjOiuPGRvIMz2NVhqnvI4p
POB: https://pobb.in/CvlGNbUni1U3 QUICK UPDATE NOTE: if you drop shield charge you can fit in a free Haste or purity of fire(or whatever aura) with the spectre trick aswell! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUdxmuCWf3U
Average EHP 150k vs pinnacle! Berserk ticked cause we have INSANE uptime! (Keep in mind this can vary alot depending on what you tick/i think the best benchmark is still how many shaperslams you can tank)
https://pobb.in/BRCSAATKswyQ MF/Assassin version POB (50% Q /332% rarity)! Thanks Raul for making this! (and the spectre trick lol)
Mahuxotl Machination + Tempered By War Interaction
50% ele taken as Chaos + 50% ele taken as fire
NO MORE COLD/LIGHTNING (Keep in mind that this doesnt mean that you cant get shocked/frozen! (shocked ground etc)
Itemization
Claw: Look for empty prefix! (People think crafting "cant be evaded is worth a 50divine premium apparently)
Helm: Its just gonna be expensive, there is no way around it. If you wanna Craft it buy fractured Base and use Essence of Envy!
Amulet: Ashes Handsdown best slot! MAKE SURE quality increase is high enough for +1 chain on Cobra lash! (whispers of doom annoint)
RingSlots: Very variable, 2 ventors for MF, 1 ventors + nimis for semi MF, Death rush + nimis for Hard maps
COLD AND LIGHTNING GETS FULLY CONVERTED - Keep in mind when buying ventors!
Gloves: Spell Suppress, HIGH chaos res (unless you run MB), and Strength
Belt: Arns Anguish (quant corruption) + Ralakesh boots, if you want to get the best damage without Headhunter
Biscos Leash if you want best MF and run map on ADHD (gotta run 2 high rolled fire resistance ventors)
Boots: Ralakesh impatience or Goldwyrm if you wanna go full MF
Body: +2 corrupted socketed projectiles Covenant, USE BENCHCRAFT TRICK for cheap 6link! (force 4 links + 50%/50% Tainted Fusing)
Flask Setups
Witchfire to Apply Despair (you can drop this and get blasphemy setup on spectres with despair)
Dying Sun Next to Tincture for upkeep (and +1projectile if you have 20% flask effectiveness)
Rest is straightforward armour/Evasion and flip flasks depending on map mods
Keep in Mind that MB would run Amethyst flask for easy chaos cap!
normal jewels
We are heavily Int and chaos resistance starved! - Normal jewels Int + Max chaos resistance +
life/critmulti/currupting blood immunity
Unique Jewels
Balance of terror to apply wither
clarity watchers eye for mana cost
add vulnerability immunity or crit reduction (or both/flip)
add grace if you are rich
add precision flask upkeep for convenience
Search for lethal pride here: https://vilsol.github.io/timeless-jewels
look for phys as fire/ double damage on nodes you allocate
(if you run arns anguish not that important, triple damage rolls override double damage!)
Cluster Jewels NO MAGEBLOOD:
look for T1 chaos res on ALL small nodes!
Large: Fan of blades - Smite the weak/Fuel the fight (keep in mind that you want the 2 you allocate as prefixes!)
Medium: Follow-Through (VERY important) - Streamlined/Repeater
Small: Sublime Form ideally on a 35% increased effect mana reservation jewel -
if you can drop this suggesting Misery Everlasting for hexproof pen
Gem Setups
Main Setup can be run with Damage on Full Life - Less berserk sustain
Overall less reliable damage and gotta grab "count as full life at 90%" node
too many buttons, what do?
drop berserk, get a Chaos pen tincture instead
drop balance of terror, get wither stacks elsewhere (small cluster for example)
drop vaal moltenshell for steelskin (if you dont run armour especially)
cannot suggest dropping totem
budget?
WITHOUT headhunter or mageblood, if you wanna do everything right,
around 250-300 Divine
I did The Buildtransition with a 100 DIVINE BUDGET and gradually upgraded!
BUDGET VERSION????
for real budget friendly version check my gullblaster elemental setup
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxLu5__z8Ag&t
headhunter or mageblood?
Defensively/for charms and easy suppress/chaos cap - mageblood
Offensively and magicfind/juicing as hard as you can - tinctures + headhunter
I wanna go MAX MF, what should i drop?
Dont drop Ashes!
Can drop ralakesh for Goldwyrm - get your charges elsewhere
bloodrage for example, and a "that which was taken" for power charges, wont have endurance charges!
Run divination distilate next to rarity + pen Tincture combined with petrified blood
can run 2 ventors, but will lose alot of deeps from nimis!
(very good for T7 cemetry, and is totally fine in terms of damage with a headhunter especially i already tested it)
https://pobb.in/BRCSAATKswyQ Very good example/assassin version! Thanks Raul!
How much MF can i get?
If you really dont care about damage run a 5% quant implicit biscos leash (would be 66% IQ and ALOT of IR!
