Ethereal Bounty (PvP) - Wraith Form now also removes all loss of control effects and decreases in movement speed.

​

Best 5 Star Legendary Gems

1. Roiling Consequence - Increases your critical hit chance and causes critical hits to burn enemies.

2. Blood-Soaked Jade - Gives increased damage, reduces damage taken below 50% life, and increases movement speed.​

3. Fated Trail - Deals damage over time as a percentage of your life, shatters enemies' armor, and immobilizes enemies.

4. Colossus Engine - Gives increased skill damage, increased area of effect, temporary knockback immunity, and increased size (which increases your movement speed) for a medium duration with a 20 second cooldown.​

5. Blood Floe - Lower priority 5 star gem that increases damage, critical hit chance, critical hit damage, and causes bleed.

6. Hellbound Desire - Increases damage and movement speed with bonus damage for a six second duration.

7. Leviathan Tomb - Increases your damage for a duration and makes critical hits increase its damage bonus.

8. Void Spark (PvM) - Deals massive AoE damage that's effective for challenge dungeons, terror rifts, and speed farming.

9. ​Frozen Heart (PvP) - A five star gem for PvP for improved survival that gives an absorb shield and chills opponents.​

​

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

1. Pain Clasp - Gives high increased damage against enemies that have a continuous damage effect on them.

2. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and releases a blood spike at an enemy that causes them to bleed.

3. Specter Glass - Increases the damage taken by enemies after critical hits and increases critical hit chance.

4. Viper's Bite - A nice gem for early on that deals high damage over time if you have low legendary gems and resonance.

5. Fervent Fang - A strong gem that gives enemies a stacking damage taken increase when they're hit by your attacks.

6. Mourneskull - A great legacy gem that increases your damage and deals damage but it's drop disabled.

7. Igneous Scorn (PvM) - Can be used with Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament to deal damage on critical hits. Igneous Scorn is the lowest priority two star gem and should be the first to be replaced with a ranked up five star gem.

8. Crimson Behelit - Strong legacy gem for increased damage and reduced damage taken that's drop disabled.

Note: Viper's Bite isn't needed to trigger Pain Clasp because this build already has multiple sources of continuous damage. The Pain Clasp is the best two star gem for damage and Crimson Behelit is the best PvP two star gem.

​

Best 1 Star Legendary Gems

1. Misery Elixir - Increases the duration of continual damage which is triggered instantly on this build by Grim Scythe.

2. Berserker's Eye (PvM) - Increases all of your damage and critical hit chance but also increases your damage taken.

​3. Entropic Well - A great one star legendary gem that increases your skill damage and increases your attack speed.

4. Everlasting Torment - Strong budget gem that deals damage over time after critical hits and increases your attack speed.

5. Surging Sea - A lower priority one star gem that has a stacking skill damage increase that stacks up to 10 times.

6. Respite Stone (PvP) - A strong defensive one star gem that reduces damage taken and increases your block chance.

7. Faltergrasp (PvP) - Disables opponents' dash skills on critical strikes and greatly reduces their movement speed.

Note: Berserker's Eye and Misery Elixir are the most powerful one star gems for this build and should be replaced last.

​

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience Duskprowler with the Savior passive skill which provides a cheat death and temporary damage immunity. The 170+ Resilience on the Duskprowler lowers the cooldown of Savior. The familiar should also have the Guardian passive for a heal when you drop below 50% life. The Lingering Wounds passive can be used for more damage but it requires the Ignition passive on Duskprowlers which burns enemies over time for it to work.

2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Can have Savior which provides a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.

3. Ash Sweeper - Ash Sweepers are strong for PvP because they damage nearby enemies and mark an enemy reducing their damage by 20% for three seconds. They can also have 170+ Resilience which reduces the cooldown of Savior.

4. Any Savior Familiar - You can use any familiar with Savior for a cheat death and great passive skills as an alternative.

5. Rare Duskprowler - Guardian is the next best familiar passive because it can provide a large heal when you drop below 50% life. Innervate gives a chance at resetting one of the player's cooldowns, Steel Hide gives a chance to block, Precision gives your familiar critical hit chance, and Tenacity lowers the cooldown of the Duskprowler shield which are also desirable.

Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.

​

Normal Gems

You should use Tourmalines for added DoT damage in red sockets and Citrines for potency to increase harmful effects durations in yellow sockets which are both important for this build. You can combine your bound Rubies which give life and use one in a red socket if it gives higher refinement. Refinement is determined by the quality of the gem and it increases the attributes of the gear the gem is socketed in. You can also use your highest refinement Topazes for resistances but you will eventually want to make the switch to just Citrines for higher potency. The full duration of your damage over time will be instantly consumed on this build so potency is a major damage increase. You should also socket your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets.

​

Gem Notes

The Hellbound Desire and Blood-Soaked Jade five star gems are important for this build for increased movement speed. The Fated Trail five star gem is a solid legendary gem once you have high enough Vitality and resonance. The fairly new Leviathan's Tomb five star gem deals more damage than Fated Trail on nearly every build but it doesn't have the added utility of an immobilize effect. The Blood Floe five star gem is a great option when it's combined with multiple sources of increased critical hit chance and critical hit damage. The Colossus Engine five star gem is strong for increased area of effect, skill damage, temporary knockback immunity, and movement speed (from its size increase). When using increased critical hit chance legendary gems you should also consider rolling increased critical hit damage on your equipment using Reforge Stones for more damage. The Frozen Heart five star legendary gem is also recommended for PvP because it gives an absorb shield and it chills opponents which lowers their attack speed and movement speed.​
