Weapon Upgrades: Magic Wand/Scepter/Rune Dagger + Topez Ring + Orb of Alteration gives added x Lightning damage to Spells. Rairity of ring effects Tier of mod. +1 Base, Need X "tagged" gems with at least 40 Quality. Makes a +1 All X Skills Weapon (doesn't work with Minion does work with Lightning) Ring: Magic/Rare Ring or Amulet with +x to Chaos Resistance + Orb of Augmentation + Amethyst Flask Reforges with just the chaos resistance roll (iLevel matters) Unique Item: 60 Unique rings gets you a Loreweave which is a pretty decent chest if you do not want to craft one. List of all reciepes: https://poedb.tw/us/Vendor_recipe_system Harvest Crafts to Look for: Caster= good for Weapons and Hunter Chest (+ level of spell skill gems, minion mods, Additional Curse, Spell Crit on chest.) Essence of Torment addes Lightning Damage to Spells on weapon which got massively buffed. Essence of Woe adds % Spell Damage to Weapons. Essence of Fear adds Wands, Claws, Daggers, One Hand Swords, Thrusting One Hand Swords, One Hand Axes, One Hand Maces, Sceptres: Minions deal % increased Damage Essence of Horror for Helmets: Socketed Gems deal 30% more Elemental Damage. This is how to get the best version of helm but can be expensive as you might need to spam to get good rolls. Really want +3 minion and 1 damage modifier using Elder or Shaper or a combined helm. =================If Damage Seems Low/If Survivability Seems Low===================================== Minion Wiki Page: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Minion Minion's are complex interaction wise, so really good idea to check the resources listed in the wiki if you are having issues. I would wait till maps for Animate Guardian but you want to level it up so it doesn't die when you add it in the lineup. Use cheap uniques at first like Leercast, Dying Breath, Southbound, Victario's Flight and Cloak of Tawm'r Isley Before using Kingmaker (Vendor: Soul Taker, Heartbreaker and an Orb of Fusing "Corrupted items can not be used".) and more Expensive Items like influenced chests on Animate Guardian you want to get the Divergant Version for the added life (40%) and get it level 19 + Damage: Check your weapon has at least 2 of the following, Minion Damage, Minion Cast Speed, +1 Added Minion Spell Skill Gems, +1 to all Spell Skill Gems, Added Lightning Damage to Spells, % Increased Spell Damage. Survivability: You can always run Determination or Grace.Make sure resistances are capped, look at Tanky chest options like the Brass Dome. Check the High Investment catagory in the gear section, start trying to get appropriate base Items and work towards crafting the gear, I suggest Harvest crafting as it doesn't deplete your currency pool. http://www.craftofexile.com is a great resource for crafting any item, I really like the Emulator section as you can import your item or start from scratch to test with. Aegis Aurora will likely be less expensive than a % life gain on block or a % ES gain on block shield early in the league, if it is expensive get one of the other on block effects before taking Glancing Blows. Wand/Dagger Rolls:Look for all Minion/spell gem levels > Lightning Damage to Spells > Minion modifiers > Trigger Socketed Gems > %Lightning/Spell Damage > Cast Speed For rings, try to get a Conductivity ring, once acheived add frost bomb to trigger wand Hunter Chest with Life and Increased effect of Offerings is great for survivability. Tailwind/Ellusive boots are nice however not at all needed. Unique Items to look for: The Queen's Hunger, (syndicate Catarina drop) Corpsewalker Boots, Aegis Aurora, and Darkness Enthroned. While Leveling: Sidhebreath, The Jinxed Juju, Bloodbond, Cloak of Tawm'r Isley, Rotting Legion, Bones of Ullr, Aukuna's Will, Triad Grip, Command of the Pit, Wraithlord, Skullhead, Midnight Bargain, Clayshaper, and Matua Tupuna.
