Here’s a list of gear that makes the Elementalist open some heavy cans of whoop-ass. It could take a while to get these, but it would be all worth it. Besides, there’s trading in the game.
- [li]Weapon: Ultos’s Stormseeker[/li]Component: Oleron’s Blood
The goal is to complete Ultos’s Storm set. The proc from the weapon isn’t so bad, but what makes this weapon useful is its high conversion, attack speed, and CDR, which makes skills like Hungering Void and Blast Shield even better. We’re using Oleron’s Blood because not only does it have good Single Target Damage, it also reduces the damage of enemies hit.
[li]Head: Ultos’s Hood[/li]Component: Sanctified Bone
This helm is pretty good when in terms of survivability and damage. Sanctified Bone will give you some nice chaos and vit resist.
[li]Shoulders: Ultos’s Spaulders[/li]Component: Scaled Hide
Decent offensive stats. Scaled Hide is a component you should be using when you don’t have any issues with your resists.
[li]Chest: Ultos’s Cuirass[/li]Component: Kilrian’s Shattered Soul
There’s sort of a trend that majority of the end-game gear is going to focus on Offensive stats, but this is because we’ll have a few amount of gear that will provide resists SO HIGH that it’s possible to focus on high damage output while having good resistances. This allows us to get away with stuff like completing the set, and equipping some offensive components. Kilrian’s Shattered Soul really helps get our Attack Speed up.
[li]Hands: Light Defender’s Gauntlets[/li]Component:Antivenom Salve
These gloves are strong. The attack speed and cast speed do wonders for this build, and it even comes with a 15% chance on attack to throw a lightning bolt at an enemy. It even has decent defensive stats to boot. Antivenom salve helps you with more regen and poison resist.
[li]Legs: Stonehide Solael Sect Legguards of Nature’s Bounty[/li]Component: Scaled Hide
These legguards have decent stats, and are pretty much the only legs that provide lifesteal. With the affixes mentioned, you’ll be able to spec out you’re gear for some additional offensive and defensive capabilities. Nature’s Bounty will greatly help out in cancelling out the degeneration of Hungering Void. Scaled Hide gives you more armor absorption.
[li]Feet: Golemborn Greaves[/li]Component: Mark of Mogdrogen
These are very solid boots because of how much defensive stats the boots offer and the fact that it can be equipped as early as level 50. It has a pretty sweet defensive proc that buffs all armor for more up-close and personal fights. On top of that, it gives +3 to temper, increasing damage output and armor. Mark of Mogdrogen offers good amounts of health and health regen. You don’t give a shit though about the bonus move speed because you have many bonuses for that.
[li]Amulet: Ultos’s Gem[/li]Component: Focusing Prism
Amazing Amulet. The +2 to Primal Strike and %Physical to Lightning Conversion are pretty golden. Focusing Prism will improve our Critical Damage as well as reduce our energy costs more.
[li]Ring: Glyph of Kelphat’Zoth[/li]Component: Corpse Dust
This is a good ring that gives +2 to Stormcaller’s Pact, letting you get more critical damage. This also has a skill that gives additional lightning damage as you’re fighting and has a 5 second downtime. Corpse Dust offers a lot of health and regen as well as giving decent vitality resistance.
[li]Ring: Charged Cronley’s Signet of the Hurricane[/li]Component: Corpse Dust
This is a nice farmable ring that gives decent attack speed and pierce resistance. With flat lightning damage for its affixes, you’ll be able to get more damage out of your Primal Strike. The Hurricane Suffix even gives you a lightning bolt on attack for additional damage as you fight. Corpse Dust will be used for more health and regen.
[li]Medal:Badge of Mastery[/li]Component: Attuned Lodestone
The ideal bonus you’ll want on Badge of Mastery is +3 to Primal Strike, as it will max out Primal Strike, a perfect bonus will give you +2 to Wendigo Totem as well, as Wendigo Totem scales really well with skill bonuses. Attuned Lodestone will give us more crit damage.
[li]Waist: Ulzuin’s Torment[/li]Component:Antivenom Salve
Has a lot of offensive stats to really boost your damage. The best part about this belt is that it gives skill points to all Demo skills, so you can remove points and add it to Storm Surge and Brute Force. Poison can be really annoying, especially if fighting Log, so use antivenom salve.
[li]Relic: Eye of the Storm[/li]This is a no-brainer since we’re focusing on lightning damage. Gives +1 to all shaman skills, reduces skill energy cost, and gives an AMAZING AURA that improves our lightning damage. Be sure to roll +1 to Torrent and +1 to Raging Tempest to improve the damage output even more.
