main hand -> cerberus limb
hubris circlet for shield
spirit shield
covenent for armour


Which one is the CORRECT one to follow? It's misleading because of two potential variants and not sure which is viable and better to use? also the gem setup for each differs and thus the requirements for dex / strength etc.


i would go for the latest one with the covenant, it really plays well.
On helmets it is rats nest for more dmg, starkonja for survivability.

And for shield or weapon this are more of examples and also can be replaces with good rares. Specially at this build i think the understanding how it works is quite important because there are many viable ways you could go.

Generally speaking you want you res caped, good hp/es (5k+hp/2k+es is a good goal to reach), a warlords mark ring (expensive, if you can´t afford use in the cast when dmg taken setup) and a mark of the shaper. Also Voidwalker are quite important for the pierce effect without gem. Everything else is actually optional and can be some of the suggested uniques or good rares. All depending on your currency.

Hey guys,

I'm slightly confused with the build at the moment. At first we see uniques such as below are listed:

impulsa's for armour

Then later, it changes completely....

Could someone please verify which is the correct one to follow? It's my league starter and it's difficult to focus on getting a specific item, getting the attributes required / links etc.


And if both are viable, please give a breakdown of the gear to aim for for each, with gem setups for defense, offense, crit etc etc etc etc.


Thank you


I started the league based on the old Life/MoM version and only recently transitioned to the Covenant pure Life/ES version recently (PoB link below). Can confirm this new version feels much nicer.

Hey guys I theory crafted a bit more ... this is the Covenant version of the build which I will go for:
Path of Building: https://pastebin.com/TZbiEYMn (The Covenant Version, 31.03.2019, where wanna go in the future, without Eb & MoM for full energy shield protection)

With decent gear and lvl 93: 4,7k life, 2,6k Es --> Total ehp: 7,3k, about 1,3m Spark dps + about 240k from ligthning bolt.

Looks really promising imo.


I still have a lot of improvements to make but am crushing low red maps atm (would have gone higher but have only gotten a T14 to drop so far).

Am rocking 4.7k life and 2.2k ES and getting around 400k tooltip DPS at the high end when running around fully charged/flasked.

Current gear is below.

Working on the build.
Found this (not using it hence; I need the few resistances I have.)



Is this not an ok ring for this build? Atleast in mid-end game? :)

My build atm:


(Saving up to get a 6L, almost there!)

So Zealotry is superior to Wrath?

Hmm, I think it depends. I had Zealotry but switched to Wrath with a Watcher's Eye 60% increased Lightning Damage while affected by Wrath and it gives me more damage

I highly recommend to get s covenant body armour... I used the ambu charge only because it was cheap. Yesh the ring is decent but I would still recommend a Cotb / Mark of the Shaper and a elder ring with warlord’s mark on hit.

Ok, thanks for the input, I am not that rich atm so I need to do some farm to get the covenant, but nice tips!

The ring is not for me, but still an ok one ;)
Just killed uber elder easily with a little changed version of this build, deathless run. :)

Am I better off getting Inpulsa or Covenant with this build?

Well the build changed a lot with this season because I adapted it more to the current meta. All those uniques chernobog’s, rat‘s, starkonjas have been used in the old version when the build was life / mana basef with MoM.

Now the build is mainly based on life / es - what also means the gear changed a lot. Try to get on all gear as much life / es possible. I always give you a lot of different gearing options... you can find the setup which suits you best or you just follow the setup I use.

The endgame setup is imo the one with the covenant body armour with EB & MoM which are used to solve all mana problems in combination with Pious Path. With the Covenant body armour you no longer need EB & MoM but you need a enlighten lvl 3 to be linked with all mana reserving skills. Also without EB we again can use arcane surge in our flame dash setup.

I hope this explains some things.

Thank you for everyone's response thus far, I have a question around the tree. I see some people don't take the EB and MoM nodes now and go left to arcane potency for spell crit etc. Should this be the focus now?

Also wrath vs zealotry - is enlighten a requirement to run zealotry / wrath and which is better?

Ideal 6l main dmg setup with order of priority?

Ideal 5l main dmg setup with order of priority?


Thank you
