Here's the priority list when you're picking stats:minion dpsyour ability to efficiently cast minionsyour character survivabilityminion survivabilityAt no point should you concern yourself with your own character's damage. The Covenant , the stat rolls don't matter. Gettingfor your SRS is essential to casting it freely, which you need to do a lot. If you get rich, consider getting one with a good corrupt like "+1 to Socketed Gems"Movespeed, Life, Dex/Str, Resists. Preferably Two-Toned Grip of the Council , the 20% is huge damage. For Final Form, get one corrupted with "+2 to Socketed Curse Gems" The Devouring Diadem is what you need to afford all three Auras (plus -14% reserved mana from passives tree). It sucks that you get no life or resists, but the sustain is good and gets you through "no regen" maps.You could find a really good Bone Helmet and use Carrion Golem instead of Anger, but you'll net less damage and have more trouble with "no regen" maps. I get sick of resummoning the Golem, myself.For Enchantment, "Summon Raging Spirit has 18% chance to summon an extra Minion" is the best but anything that affects SRS or Skeletons is good enough to wear.You'll have to craft it! See the "Staff Business" section below. While leveling, use a Reverberation Rod with whatever off-hand you like.Life, Resists or Dexterity, Cast Speed. A good Jade Amulet should last you forever. I craft "+1 to Minimum Endurance Charges" on my Amulet and Rings for the combined 12% Physical reductionSame as Necklace for stats, except Cast Speed only goes up to 7% on a ring so I'd rather finish off your Resists or Attributes.When you're rich, considering buying a couple Vermillion Rings with some very expensive resists.Just life and resists on a Stygian Vise for the socketUse the % increase Flask effect craft if you don't need resists or attributesTwo Eternal Life Flasks , one Quicksilver , one Taste of Hate , and one map-dependent defensive slot. I'll usually carry a Basalt Flask , but switch to a Ruby Sapphire , or Topaz depending on boss or map mods. You need Freeze, Bleed, and Curse immunity from among these. Your survivability will boost greatly when you learn Flask crafting (it's easy) and use them liberally.One FROM DUST with a corrupt implicit of your choice. It's a cheap unique and a good opportunity to grab a valuable implicit like "You cannot be Cursed with Silenced" or "Corrupted Blood cannot be inflicted on you". The Silence one saves you randomly and the Blood one will save you in the Sirus fight. A good rare with one of these is very expensive.For your other three Jewels, buy some Ghastly Eyes that meet the following trade filters.minimum +31 max health+# to # phys/cold/fire damage to attacks (the sites search by average, set this to 14 minimum)Minions deal (15–20)% increased Damage if you've used a Minion Skill RecentlyMinions have (4–6)% increased Attack Speed(7–10)% increased Cast Speed if a Minion has been Killed RecentlyMinions have (6–8)% increased Attack and Cast Speed if you or your Minions have Killed RecentlyAim for getting three Jewels like this for 20c or less each to fill out your slots, then consider buying more expensive ones.Here's the wiki page if you missed Blight league like I didThere isn't anything particularly good for your minions, so I just get Herbalism . Grab whatever you like that raises your health. I like Herbalism because you depend on Flasks for most of your sustain. Soul of Steel would even be nice, but 3x Golden Oil is not cheap.~DON'T WEAR ANYTHING THAT ADDS FIRE OR COLD DAMAGE TO SPELLS, IT WILL RUIN YOUR ELEMENTAL EQUILIBRIUM~If you're unsure, mouse over Ball Lightning's button. The tooltip will say if it deals any Fire or Cold.
