Block Chance
Rare Warstaff:
- (Budget) Viper Spell Judgement Staff - at least 500 physical DPS, 9.5% critical chance, and chance to block attack damage while wielding a staff.
- (Powerful) Wrath Bane Maelström Staff - at least 700 physical DPS if you have more PoE currency.
- (Next level) Grim Pole Maelström Staff - at least 700 physical DPS and Critical Multiplier.
Body Armour:
- (Budget) Woe Cloak Royal Plate - at least 3200 armour, life, and resistances. Now use Eldritch Embers and Ichors to get "Critical Strike Multiplier for Attacks" and "Chance to Block Attack Damage".
- (Powerful) Vengeance Wrap Conquest Lamellar - at least 2500 armour and 2500 evasion for an extra defensive layer.
Abyssus
Abyssus Ezomyte Burgonet - This is the best helmet for this build, as it grants a huge amount of damage and attributes. But keep in mind that it increases by up to 50% the amount of physical damage taken. I recommend using it after level 80; until then, use a rare helmet with armour, life, and resistances.
Rare Gloves
Plague Mitts Precursor Gauntlets - look for rare gloves with armour, life, elemental resistances, and accuracy.
Mandatory Item
Replica Stampede Assassin's Boots - these boots fix your movement speed at 150% of the base amount. This mod removes the downside of Cyclone of Tumult. These boots can be anointed just like an amulet, anoint enigmatic defence (violet violet-violet) on them.
Rare Ring
- (Budget Left) Armageddon Grip Amethyst Ring - look for a rare ring with life, elemental resistances, chaos resistance, and attributes.
- (Budget Right) Wrath Nail Iron Ring
- (Powerful Left) Tempest Whorl Topaz Ring
- (Powerful Right) Pain Knot Sapphire Ring
Rare Amulet
- (Budget) Glyph Scarab Onyx Amulet - look for a rare amulet with life, resistances, and a lot of dexterity and intelligence. Use intrinsic catalysts and anoint serpent stance (azure - black - opalescent) on it.
- (Powerful) Rift Scarab Onyx Amulet
Rare Belt
- (Budget) Torment Twine Leather Belt - look for a belt with life, chaos resistance, and elemental resistances.
- (Powerful) Hate Trap Cord Belt

Unique Jewel
The Light of Meaning – I highly recommend getting a jewel like this with chaos resistance; it costs a little over 1 divine and grants 60% chaos resistance. Awesome for your survivability. Socket it near the stamina node in your passive tree.
Mandatory Jewel
Watcher's Eye Prismatic Jewel - you need a Watcher's Eye with 25% chance to impale enemies on hit.
