Recommended Sets

3. Feasting Baron's Pack (2 Set) - Increases the duration of harmful effects on enemies.

Note: The high stacking damage over time from the Angmet's Conflagration set is consumed instantly on this build. The Feasting Baron's Pack set increases the duration of the damage over time before it's consumed instantly.

2. Atrophied - Continual damage causes a dark field to appear under enemies that deals damage over time 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. Golden Firmament - Causes ranged wind damage attacks and increases your evasion rating.

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

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

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

6. Frozen Heart (PvP) - Gives an absorb shield for a medium duration and chills enemies.

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

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

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

3. Fervent Fang - Increases your damage each time you hit an enemy stacking up to ten times.​

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

5. Grim Rhythm - Gives a stacking attack speed increase for a duration whenever you hit an enemy.

6. Igneous Scorn - Igneous Scorn is a lower priority legendary gem that deals damage on critical hits.​

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

Note: The Viper's Bite legendary gem isn't needed on this build to trigger Pain Clasp. Pain Clasp requires continual damage for its damage increase and continual damage will be instantly consumed with the Lion's Mane weapon essence.

​

Best Starter 1 Star Legendary Gems

​1. Misery Elixir - The best 1 star for this build that increases the duration of your DoTs which are then instantly consumed.

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

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

Note: The Misery Elixir one star legendary gem is a major damage increase on this build because it increases the duration of harmful effects on enemies which are consumed instantly with the Lion's Mane weapon essence.​

​

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a Duskprowler with 170+ Resilience and the Savior passive skill which provides a cheat death. The 170+ Resilience lowers the cooldown for Savior but can be skipped to make the familiar more affordable.

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

3. Any Savior Familiar - Look for any familiar with great passive skills and Savior which gives a cheat death. Savior can be used to buy time for other cheat deaths like the Undying Rage Barbarian skill and the Gladiator paragon.

4. 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 the shield critical hit chance, and Tenacity which lowers the cooldown of the shield are also desirable.​​

5. Magic Duskprowler - Duskprowler shields are hard to replace so the budget option familiar is a magic Duskprowler.

​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 also combine all of your Rubies which give life and Topazes which give resistances into a couple Rubies and Topazes and socket them into your equipment for higher refinement. Gems give refinement based on their quality and refinement increases the attributes on the item the gem is socketed in.

​

Gem Notes

The new Colossus Engine legendary gem is a nice improvement because it increases your damage, area of effect, and movement speed (from size) which amounts to a dps increase. The new Specter Glass legendary two star gem is one of the best two star gems in the game. The Pain Clasp legendary gem normally makes you deal increased damage when there is a damage over time effect on the enemy. Pain Clasp shouldn't be used on this build, however, because your damage over time will be consumed instantly with Lion's Mane which is the recommended weapon essence. Golden Firmament is a fairly new 5 star gem that has wind damage, evasion rating, and triggers Firestorms which increases your wind damage when it's paired with burning damage. When using Roiling Consequence, Specter Glass, and/or Mother's Lament which are critical hit chance legendary gems you should also consider rolling critical hit damage on every piece of gear with Reforge Stones. The Frozen Heart legendary gem gives an absorb shield and is only recommended for PvP.​​
