[3.1] Abyss Jewel Wander Raider/Slayer (13-14 jewel stack)
|
Introduction
Hi guys, this is the build I am playing for 3.1. Probably not the strongest or the fastest, but I had a blast integrating the league mechanics into the typical wander build and progressing this build, so I just wanted to share. Pros - End game viable (1 million shaper dps with dying sun + 6L) - Fast map clear with KB - Very good item progression (lots of smallish chunks) - Unique to abyss (this build will probably be no longer possible after this league) Cons - May need flask swap for certain maps - Jewels can get expensive - Cannot do ele reflect - Not HC viable Current Gear The goal of the gear is to stack as many jewels as possible, while staying high life if possible without sacrificing resists. I use an a-mark ring, so I can use bubonic trail and drop curse of hit, assassin's mark from my herald of ice setup.

Passive Tree The goal of this tree is to grab as much value as possible by abusing both the scion and ranger starts. We pick up 8 jewels from the tree as we traverse it for our needs.

To start off, you need Piscator's Vigil and Thunderfists to start mapping.
Next, get a 5L chest and some cheap jewels to fill out your tree. Next, I would look to fill out the cheap rares and uniques, such as grabbing a starkonja head and atziri's step and tombfist. Your first major upgrade is the Dying sun flask. This will make everything significantly better. Next, I would try to get a 6L chest to significantly improve barrage. At this point, I would try to improve your jewels further. After this, would try to grab an a-mark ring, so you can drop your herald of ice curse setup. At this point you can start trying to swap to the 2a versions of the Abyss Uniques in the build, work on barrage lab enchant, try to get wrath/HoI 21/20, or start saving up for Headhunter or Mirror wand. Gear Explanation Offensive stats we focus on is flat added lightning, WED, crit and attack speed. Defensive stats we focus on is evasion, life, and resists.

Wand
Spoiler
Piscators is the wand of choice of this slot.
However, if you have no budget, I would recommend you wait for standard and mirror Corruption Bite for this build  Helm
Spoiler
I am using Rats Nest, but I think Starkonja Head, Lightpoacher, Essence of Horror Rare helmet are all viable options.
Once this league drops into standard, I also want to give Tempest binding a spin ;) Chest
Spoiler
I am using Yriel's fostering, but I think Shroud of the Lightless, Queen of the Forest, Belly of the Beast are all good and viable.
Shield
Spoiler
I would recommend Lycosidae, Esh mirror, or rare shield
Belt
Spoiler
Darkness enthroned, Stygian vyse or Headhunter.
You want Life, resists, WED on the Vyse: IE:
Spoiler
Gloves
Spoiler
Tombfist, Thunderfists, Shaped Rare gloves, Essence of Horror/Insanity/Hysteria Rare gloves Boots
Spoiler
Bubonic Trail, Atziri's step, or Rare boots Amulet
Spoiler
Rare amulet. Grab high life, some accuracy (if no lyco), high resists, and then look into damage stats such as crit and wed. Rings
Spoiler
Rare rings. Grab high life, some accuracy (if no lyco), high resists, and then look into upgrading into Opal rings, and potential shaper rings with assassin's mark. Links
