​

Helmet

Terminus Facade - Slow Time causes your non-channeled skills to decrease cooldowns and increase movement speed.

​

Shoulders

Stag of Ill Omen - Meteor also increases your damage for a short duration.

​

Chest

Halycon Cascade - Meteor also increases your critical hit chance stacking up to 3 times.

​

Legs

Apocalypse Root - Gives Meteor 3 charges for more burst damage and cooldown recovery with the recommended helmet.

​​​​

Recommended Sets

1. Grace of the Flagellant (6 Set) - Deals damage every 5 hits (includes DoTs) and has a 4% chance to deal more damage.

2. Untouchable Mountebank (2 Set) - Great for PvP for a large absorb shield which improves your survival.

​​​

Best Curses

1. Lashed - Your primary attacks give a chance to generate three crackling whips that damage enemies.

2. Wired - Useful for AoE to create a surge of lightning on kill that jumps between enemies on cooldown.

​3. Ghosted (PvP) - Optional for PvP to summon a minion to take some of your incoming damage.

​

Best 5 Star Legendary Gems

1. Roiling Consequence - Increases your critical hit chance and causes critical hits to burn enemies.

2. Maw of the Deep - Useful at a decent rank to deal damage, gain a damage buff, draw in enemies, and stun enemies.

3. ​Starfire Shard - Deals AoE damage and stuns enemies in PvP inside the Maw of the Deep legendary gem effect.

4. Blood-Soaked Jade - Gives increased damage, reduces damage taken below 50% life, and increases movement speed.​

5. Void Spark (PvM) - Deals AoE damage that's very effective for challenge dungeons, terror rifts, and speed farming.

6. ​Frozen Heart (PvP) - A strong legendary gem for PvP that gives an absorb shield and chills opponents in Arcane Wind.

7. ​Seeping Bile (PvP) - Gives a 4% chance to poison enemies and slows their movement speed in PvP which is important.

8. Stormvault (PvP) - Used at rank 5+ to create a storm that damages enemies over time and slows their movement speed.​​

9. Colossus Engine - Gives increased skill damage, increased area of effect, increased size (which also increases your movement speed), and knockback immunity for a medium duration with a 20 second cooldown.

 

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

1. Pain Clasp - Gives high increased damage against enemies that have a continual damage effect on them.

2. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and releases a blood spike that causes enemies to bleed.

3. Specter Glass - Increases the damage taken by enemies after critical hits and increases your critical hit chance.

4. Fervent Fang - Gives a stacking damage increase and increases your damage against elites and bosses.​

5. Mourneskull - This legacy gem increases your damage and deals damage but it's also drop disabled.

6. Igneous Scorn (PvM) - Can be used with Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament to deal damage on critical hits. Igneous Scorn is the lowest priority 2 star gem and should be the first to be replaced with a rank 4+ five star gem.

7. Crimson Behelit (PvP) - Strong PvP gem that gives increased damage and reduced damage taken but it's drop disabled.

Note: Viper's Bite isn't needed to trigger the damage increase on Pain Clasp from there being damage over time on the target because the Arcane Wind skill with the Thistle Bloom weapon essence already deals damage over time.

​

Best 1 Star Legendary Gems

1. Berserker's Eye (PvM) - Increases all of your damage and critical hit chance but also increases your damage taken.

2. Entropic Well - A strong budget 1 star legendary gem that increases your skill damage and attack speed.

​3. Everlasting Torment - A great budget gem that deals damage over time on critical hits and increases your attack speed.

Note: Berserker's Eye is a great one star legendary gem that requires a high ranked up 5 star gem to match its damage.

​

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler with the Savior passive skill for a cheat death. The 170+ Resilience is used to lower the cooldown of Savior but can be lower to make the familiar more affordable.

2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Look for Savior which provides a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.

3. Rare Duskprowler - Relentless Strikes is the next best skill because it gives a chance to cast the Duskprowler shield twice. Innervate which gives a chance at resetting the player's skill cooldown, Steel Hide which gives a chance to block, Precision which gives critical hit chance, and Tenacity which lowers the cooldown of the shield are also desirable.

4. Magic Duskprowler - Duskprowler shields are hard to replace so a rare or magic ability Duskprowler is the budget option.

Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.

​

Normal Gems

Prioritize Tourmalines for added damage in red sockets and Citrines for Potency which increases harmful effects durations in yellow sockets. You should use your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. You can optionally combine all of your Rubies which give life and Topazes which give resistances and socket one or two of each into your equipment. Gems give refinement based on their quality and refinement is used to increase the attributes on the piece of equipment that the gem is socketed in.​

​

Gem Notes

The fairly new Colossus Engine legendary five star gem provides burst damage, increased area of effect, and a size increase which also increases your movement speed which are very beneficial for this build. The Specter Glass legendary two star gem is one of the best two star gems for almost every build. The Seeping Bile five star legendary gem is great for PvP for damage over time and has the added benefit of slowing the movement speed of opponents inside of your Arcane Wind storms. The Golden Firmament legendary gem isn't recommended because it has too short of a range for this long ranged build. When using the Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament critical hit chance legendary gems you should also consider rolling critical hit damage on every piece of equipment using Reforge Stones for increased damage. The Frozen Heart legendary gem should also be switched to for PvP for an absorb shield and to chill opponents which makes it more difficult for opponents to escape the draw in from your Arcane Wind storm.​
