" Yes, the amulets +1 to level of all intelligence skill gems does work on Summon Holy Relic. Proof:

 You can see on this picture that the gem gets +1 from global modifiers.
Spoiler
 When I unequip my amulet it disappears. My holy relic is only 28 because I'm only using empower 3. According to PoB if I manually bump up the gems level to 22 from 21 (to simulate the amulet) we roughly get 15,5% more damage. Be aware that +1 to level of all strength skill gems doesn't rise the level of empower, since empower isn't a skill gem. Last edited by Propht#6790 on Jan 2, 2020, 7:42:21 PM

" Thanks! That makes this a very strong amulet, definitely worth considering losing some defences to gain that sweet +1 level to Holy Relics. This is now reflected in the build guide, thanks for your suggestions. |

I haven't done any crafting on this game for a long time, so how do you go about crafting the end game staff for this build? Get high enough ilvl 6L warstaff base, orb of alt it untill you get +1 all gems roll, regal and hope you get something usefull and then craft +2 all support gems into it?

" That's the general idea, yeah.
Detailed Guide
I would begin with an iLvl 50+ Warstaff base (6-linked ideally).
An iLvl 50 Vile Staff seems like a good choice for a base; we avoid some of the higher tiers of unwanted rolls, as well as have the highest attack speed on a staff so that Static Strike doesn't feel too slow. Then, we use Alteration orbs until we hit that +1 to Level of Socketed Gems prefix. Now we use a Regal orb and hope the staff gains a suffix. If it gains a prefix, that prevents us from having 3 crafted mods with minion damage. If we want to have 3 crafted mods, we have to try and save the staff with an annulment orb, or scour and start over. If you are limited on currency I would recommend just keeping the staff if it rolls a prefix after using a Regal orb. All that is left now is to apply the +2 to Socketed Support Gems craft, or the 3 crafted modifiers craft followed by +2 to Socketed Support Gems and Minions deal % increased Damage, if we have two prefixes open. If possible, a decent attack speed suffix will make Static Strike feel even faster, but this is more for comfort than performance. Delve crafting is a bit tricky, and I'm not sure what the best course of action here is. My recommendation would involve spamming Aetheric Fossils on the staff, hoping we get both +1 to Level of Socketed Gems and Socketed Skill deal 20% more Spell Damage, while also having a prefix open. There is also the consideration of using Faceted fossils for the +1 to Level of Socketed Intelligence/Strength Gems suffix, but that is both incredibly expensive and unlikely. Overall, I would stick with the Alteration crafting method for simplicity's sake. |

Thanks for sharing this build mate! I went absolutely nuts when I first saw your Sirus AWK 8 take down!
I'll be highlighting this build tomorrow on youtube hoping to convince some more players of the POWER of Holy Relics! Cheers & thanks again! IGN: Steeldraconis

" Thanks for the highlight! If there's anything unclear about the build in its current state, I'm more than happy to clarify any queries. |

" Thank you for the detailed guide! This is what I ended up with, I think its pretty good for the build right? Last edited by Smerte#3065 on Jan 3, 2020, 1:39:43 PM

" This is a great staff for the build! It's a little better than what I have equipped currently, so I think I'll slip this into the gear section of the build guide. |

Great guide. I will have to try it out.

Great guide.
Thanks to it I stop dying on almost anything, tried Sirus for the second time (and forgot to downgrade awakening level from 6) I failed because the storms bricked the entrance, but damage wise it was all ok. I was lucky enough to get a Great Crown base with the +40% damage enchant and chanced it in 15~ish tries now my damage is beyond anything I played in a while. Thank you very much. The build is awesome, your guide was great. Last edited by dHell13#0323 on Jan 5, 2020, 12:26:38 AM
