~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Campaign Guide ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Campaign Regex: "\d+% i.+mov|ell.*ge$|\d (co|f).+da|^\+.*ion skills$|^\+.*re sp.*ls$|^\+.*ld sp.*ls$" Act 1 + Some of Act 2: Weapon - Wand/Focus or Staff - Spell Damage, Cast Speed, +1 to all skills - Fire Damage will help with single Target (Volcano) - Cold Damage will help with clear (Ice Nova) Also keep searching for a Sceptre for when we switch to minions: Sceptre - +1 to Minions, Allies Increased damage, Increased Spirit. Helmet - +1 to Minions Act 2 Swap after ascending: Keep Searching for Sceptre and Helmet for +1 minion, you can go back to Act 1 and check vendors also. You can also use Gold to Gamble for sceptres (Do this in Act 1, it will be cheaper so you can roll more sceptres) Act 3 +: Sceptre - +1 to Minions, Allies Increased damage, Increased Spirit. Shield - Armour, Resistance, Life (switch to shield for more defense) Breakpoints for when you can start finding upgrades: lvl 25: +2 to all Minions | lvl 55: +3 to all Minions (On Sceptre) lvl 41: +2 to all Minions (On Helm) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Early End Game ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gearing is very simple. Damage: 1. Sceptre +3 to level of all Minion Skills Allies in your presence deal X% of increased Damage (You can essence craft this) Increased Spirit (You want a little bit of extra spirit to have multiple minions and also convalesence) - Everything else is bonus Allies in your Presence get Crit chance, crit damage, added damage etc 2. Minion Helemet +2 to level of Minion Skills and - Energy Shield - Max life - Resistances - Rarity Helmet all you need is +2 and then any defensive stat, Prioritize getting helmet first so then gearing resistance is easier with other gear pieces 3. Amulet +2 to level of Minion Skills And Everything else is bonus, Try to get: - Resistances - Increased Energy Shield - Max life After you focused on getting your 3 core pieces you will simply just focus on gearing your character Defense: - This part can be a little tricky and maybe you need to first get a ring with some attributes. - Focus on Armour/ES and Armour Gear, it will be super cheap because people dont value them. But they are insanely powerful. - You dont need every stat on one gear piece, but look at your resistances and try to cover as much as possible. 4. Shield, Body, Gloves, Belt(plate belt base) - Resistances - Max Life - Armour - Energy Shield - Attributes - Chaos Res 5. Boots - Movement Speed - Resistances - Max Life - Armour - Energy Shield - Attributes - Chaos res 6. Rings - Resistances - Attributes - Max life - Mana - Rarity 7. Charms - Stone Charm | Thawing Charm | Antidote - Increased Charges Gain - Guard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mid End Game ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sceptre Upgrade 1. Magic Scepter +4 (Base doesnt matter to keep it cheap around 4 divs) (Rattling Sceptre is the best base fyi) 2. use perfect augmentation if open prefix 3. greater essence of command 4. jawbone + sinistral necromancy for prefix + abyssal echoes (optional if within budget) - Goal is to hit spirit in our prefix 5. Greater Exalt + Omen of greater exalt - we want to get allies in presence have crit chance or crit damage - but anything is fine here for budget craft 6. add Idol of the pharisee socket Desired Stats +4 to level of Minion Skills Allies in presence deal increased damage % Spirit Amulet Crafting has 2 options Cheap vs Expensive Cheap Highly recommend to first just check on trade for +2 amulet (+3 amulet most likely you save for end game crafting) Bases to look out for: Solar or Gold amulet > any 1. Start with +2 to minions on magic amulet 2. use perfect augmentation if open prefix 3. Use resistance essences or Opulence 4. collarbone + sinistral necromancy for prefix + abyssal echoes (optional if within budget) - Goal is to hit Spirit in our prefix - ES or % ES is also fine 5. Greater Exalt + Omen of Greater Exalt - Any useful resistances or even rarity is good If you make something like this, I would Annoint Splintering Force (Envy, Paranoia, Guilt) Expensive Bases: Solar or Gold 1. Start with +3 to minions on magic amulet 2. use perfect augmentation if open prefix (we dont care about prefix btw) 3. Use Perfect Regeal Orb 4. Use Omen of Sinistral Crystallisation + Essence of the Breach 5. Use Necrotic Catalyst to 34% minion quality (34% is the breakpoint to get +4 minion) 6. Use Omen of Sinistral Necromany + Preserved Collarbone to get prefix desceration on amulet (Make sure to also use Abyssal Echoes when you reveal) - We want Spirit, anything related to Energy shield or Rarity 7. For the Suffixes, If your stats are really good on the item you can use Perfect Exalt Orb + Omen of Greater Exaltation to slam the last 2 suffixes 8. If your slams are great, you can consider Whittling + Greater Chaos Orb to get rid of the Quality Breach Affix. (Optional) If you make something like this, I would Annoint Dominion (Contempt, Suffering, Isolation) Amulet Desired Stats +2-4 to levels of Minion Skills Spirit Rarity Energy Shield (flat, % or on body armour, global defenses) Resistances Helmet Very likely to just buy this for mid budget level. Just look for anything with +2 minion and High ES. You can solve Resistances with other gear slots, so whatever preffix you get is fine. But try to get the highest ES in your price range 1. +2 all minions and for prefix (%ES or flat ES or Rarity) 2. Greater Essence of Enhancement 3. jawbone + sinistral necromancy for prefix + abyssal echoes (optional if within budget) - Goal is to hit %ES or Flat ES or Rarity 4. Greater Exalt + Omen of Greater Exalt Goal is to get High ES with +2 Minions Focus Base: Tasalian or Sacred Focus Base: magic item with Any resistance with any flat energy shield or % energy shield 1. Use resistance Essence 2. Preserved rib + dextral necromancy for suffix + abyssal echoes (optional if within budget) - Goal is to hit +2 minion (this is very unlikely but if you hit this you win) - 2nd Goal is to hit Reistance (more likely) - 3rd Option is Cast Speed (which you can sell to other players, cause we dont need cast speed) 3. Greater Exalt + Omen of Greater Exalt Goal is to get High ES and Resistance - If you get lucky you can get +2 minions (extremely rare) Boots Very likely to just buy this for mid budget level. Just look for anything with atleast 25+ Movement speed and High ES. Try to get 1 or 2 Resistance rolls 1. 25+ movement speed with (any resistance, rarity, attributes could be good too) (magic base) 2. Use resistance Essence 3. jawbone + sinistral necromancy for prefix + abyssal echoes (optional if within budget) - Goal is to hit %ES or Flat ES 4. Greater Exalt + Omen of Greater Exalt Goal is to get High Movement Speed with ES and some Resistances Rings Base: Prismatic, Sapphire, Ruby, Topaz rings or Gold Ring 1. Any Prefix with at least 35+ Resistance (magic base) 2. Use Any Greater Resistance Essence or Opulence for Rarity 3. Either just straight exalt slam or Greater Exalt + omen of Greater Exalt Goal is to get High Resistances or Rarity, some mana regen can be good here as well. Gloves 1. Flat ES with Resistance or Rarity (magic base) 2. Use resistance Essence or Opulence 3. jawbone + sinistral necromancy for prefix + abyssal echoes (optional if within budget) - Goal is to hit %ES or Flat ES 4. Greater Exalt + Omen of Greater Exalt 5. Cardigan's on Socket to create a jewel socket on gloves Goal is to get Some ES, cover your resistances and maybe get some attributes or rarity. This is sort of your clean-up slot. Body Armour - We save this towards the end with the intention of covering all our resistances and rarity with our other gear slots - Why? So we can have High ES without worrying about resistances or any suffixes 1. Flat ES roll with any resistance (you can use flux later to change resistances if you need to) 2. Use Greater Enhancement for %ES 3. jawbone + sinistral necromancy for prefix + abyssal echoes (optional if within budget) - Goal is to hit hybrid ES or Spirit 4. Greater Exalt + Omen of Greater Exalt 5. Use the resistance flux if you need to change the type of resistance (Optional) Goal is to get High ES and if you still need some resistances. Optional Energy Shield Recharge rate is added bonus Belt for last - We save this for last, cause you can go with a few different options - You can make your whole process cheaper with by getting some resistance or attributes on belt Or if everything is covered from previous gear slots you can look for damage or utility Rare belt options - You can look to buy minion cooldown recovery or minion command damage breach belts for more damage Unique Belts - Darkness Enthroned is with the Boots affinity is great to get more movement speed on the build Ingeunity - This belt is incredible to boost your rings, you would want to plan exactly what you want on your rings first before Minion Jewels You will simply have to buy these You want some combination of Minion damage with either Minion Crit Chance or Minion Crit Damage Additionally get some % Energy Shield ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Late End Game ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Cooming soon
