Armor

Chest

1. [Uncapped] Elemental Resistances
2. +# to Maximum Life
3. +# to Maximum Energy Shield
4. +1 to Socketed Intelligence Gems/% increased Intelligence (Get this as your currency allows its a shaper mod)

Helmet

A Eater/Exarch Rare is the best choice for most situations

Implicits:

1. % increased Conductivity Curse Effect
2. Damage Penetrates % Lightning Resistance

Affixes

1. [Uncapped] Elemental Resistances
2. +# to Maximum Life
3. +# to Maximum Energy Shield

Recommended Enchantment:

• Arc Chains an additional time is highly recommended as it is far and away the best option in any scenario, including single target.

Boots

1. [Uncapped] Elemental Resistances
2. +# to Maximum Life
3. +# to Maximum Energy Shield
4. 30%+ Movement Speed

Ideally, you’ll want as much resistance as possible on your boots in order to optimize heavy damage elsewhere. Two-Toned Boots with 140%+ total Elemental Resistance are a great choice

Recommended Enchantment:

• Adds 1-160 Lightning Damage if you haven’t killed recently is exceptional for bossing and highly recommended.
• Damage Penetrates 10% of Elemental Resistances if you haven’t killed recently is another viable option that may or may not be cheaper.

As we already have more than enough damage to eliminate the entire screen and more with the press of a button, we are looking to bolster our boss damage.

Gloves

Rare Warlord Influenced Gloves

1. [Uncapped] Elemental Resistances
2. +# to Maximum Life
3. Culling Strike
4. +1 Maximum Frenzy Charge
5. + % Spell Damage

Weapon

Rare Wands

Rare Wands have the potential to be the strongest option, depending on what your budget allows.

You want to eventually get +2 wands but can use +1 wands until you can afford or craft them

1. +1 to the Level of all Lightning Spell Skill Gems
2. +1 to the Level of all Spell Skill Gems

Ideal other affixes to have on your wand(s):

1. % Increased Critical Strike Chance for Spells
2. Adds # to # Lightning Damage to Spells
3. % to Global Critical Strike Multiplier
4. % Increased Lightning Damage

Any other damage affixes you might need to substitute in are also fine — the best weapons can be very expensive and difficult to craft.

Accessories

Amulet

Here are our recommendations:

Just like Wands you can use a +1 amulet until you can afford or craft a +2

1. +1 to Level of all Skill Gems
2. +1 to Level of all Lightning Skill Gems
3. % increased Lightning Damage
4. +# to maximum Life

4. % Increased Lightning Damage
5. Attributes as needed
