​​

Main Hand

Horn Splitter - Sacred Fire now ignites enemies burning them over two seconds causing damage over time.

​

Off-Hand

Torrential Refrain - Condemn now instantly triggers all continual damage on the target it hits. This causes damage over time to trigger its full duration instead of just refreshing the damage over time when you hit an enemy.

​

Main Hand 2

The Bristle - Sacred Fire now also hurls waves of flames that damage enemies.

​

Off-Hand 2

Resplendent Mane - Sacred Fire now also increases primary attack speed stacking up to three times.

​

Helmet

Arrant Ignition - Holy Banner now attaches to your back and makes primary attacks from you and your allies burn enemies.

​

Shoulders

The Yawning Rose - Judgment now calls down bolts of fire to rain down in an area around you.

​

Chest

Akarat's Rebuke - Condemn now causes primary attacks to unleash lightning bolts that damage nearby enemies.

​

Legs

Cuisses of Storm - Condemn now deals increased damage for each harmful effect on the enemy.

Leggings of the Consigner - This defensive option makes Conjuration of Light give a life shield when you deal damage.

Lightstriders - The pure offensive option requires you to replace Conjuration of Light with Draw and Quarter to summon two horses that charge enemies which deals significant single target damage and multiple target damage.​

​

Recommended Sets

1. Feasting Baron's Pack (2 Set) - This set is important to increase the duration of harmful effects by 30%.

2. Angmet's Conflagration (4 Set) - Causes primary attacks to attach an Ignite status that deals damage over time.

3. Banquet of Eyes (2 Set) - Increases your damage by 15% when there is a continual damage effect on the enemy.

Note: The high stacking damage over time on the Angmet's Conflagration set is consumed instantly on this build.

​​​

Best Curses

1. Lashed - Using your primary attack gives a chance to generate three crackling whips that damage enemies.

2. Atrophied - Continual damage causes a dark field to appear under enemies that deals damage over time.​

​

Best 5 Star Legendary Gems

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

2. Golden Firmament - Causes a ranged wind damage attack and increases your evasion rating.

3. Echoing Shade - Gives minions that can be buffed by your Holy Banner that also use your primary attack.

4. Maw of the Deep - Used in PvP at high ranks to deal damage, gain a damage buff, draw in enemies, and stun enemies.

5. ​Starfire Shard - Useful in PvP to deal damage and stun enemies inside the Maw of the Deep legendary gem effect.

6. Frozen Heart (should be switched to for PvP) - Gives a life shield with a medium duration and also chills enemies.

7. Void Spark - Deals AoE damage that's extremely effective in dungeons and the new PvP map.

8. Blood-Soaked Jade - Gives a damage increase and a significant boost to movement speed. It's one of the best 5 star gems at high ranks for damage and one of the weakest 5 star gems for damage at lower ranks.​

 

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

1. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and causes a blood spike that makes enemies bleed.

2. Power & Command - Alternates between increased skill damage and increased primary damage and sometimes dispels.

3. Fervent Fang - Gives enemies a stacking damage taken increase when they are hit by an attack.

4. Igneous Scorn (PvM only) - Can be combined with critical hit chance legendary gems to deal damage on critical hits.

​

Best 1 Star Legendary Gems

1. Misery Elixir - Important for this build to increase damage over time durations which are instantly consumed.

2. Entropic Well - An excellent 1 star gem for increased skill damage that can be replaced at higher gear levels.

3. Berserker's Eye - Increases your damage and critical hit chance but also increases your damage taken.

4. Ca'Arsen's Invigoration - Increases your primary attack speed but this legendary gem should eventually be replaced.

Note: All of these gems except Misery Elixir should eventually be replaced with higher resonance two or five star gems.

​

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler that has Savior which provides a cheat death. The 170+ Resilience lowers the cooldown for Savior but can be lower to make it more affordable.

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

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

​

Regular Gems

Prioritize Tourmalines for added damage in red sockets and Citrines for Potency which increases harmful effects duration in yellow sockets. You should also use your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. Refinement increases the main stats of the gear the gem is socketed in and is determined by the quality of the gem. You can also optionally combine all of your Rubies which give life and Topazes which give resistances into one Ruby and one Topaz and use one of each in your equipment for a higher level of refinement.

​

Gem Notes

The new Colossus Engine legendary gem isn't included in the recommendations because it would take about rank 8 until it would be an upgrade over other more easily accessible options and it doesn't affect primary skill damage. The Pain Clasp legendary gem shouldn't be used on this build because it requires damage over time on the opponent and your damage over time is triggered instantly with the Torrential Refrain offhand. This means you won't need Viper's Bite, Everlasting Torment, or Seeping Bile to trigger the damage increase on the Pain Clasp legendary gem. Golden Firmament is a fairly new strong 5 star gem that has wind damage, evasion rating, and triggers Firestorm for more wind damage when mixed with burning damage. Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament both give increased critical hit chance and pair well with Igneous Scorn which deals damage on critical hits. You should also consider rolling critical hit damage on every piece of gear with Reforge Stones when using both of these crit gems. You should eventually replace Igneous Scorn with a 5 star legendary gems at higher gear levels because 5 star gems are capable of having a much higher resonance. Echoing Shade which summons two clones that use your primary attack is extremely strong in content where your clones can stay alive for their full duration like in raids. Their primary attacks will also be buffed by Holy Banner. Fervent Fang is also a nice legendary gem but it should be replaced with Frozen Heart for PvP for a life shield and to chill enemies.​
