Velyna's Explosive Concoction Gearing (PoE Settlers of Kalguur)

Item Searches

• Skin of the Lords
• Brutal Restraint – Look for flask charges, alchemist’s genious
• Large Cluster – Can be expensive with all 3 notables, adjust the search to fit your budget.
• Medium Cluster – Concoction skills are difficult to scale, so these projectile clusters are nice.
• Megalomaniac

Gear

This is a detailed explanation of why I wear these items, based on a gear level somewhere between Endgame and God PoB’s.

Helm

An armour/evade base is ideal, pure evasion works also. Both of the implicits here are aimed at fitting in our auras and sustaining mana so don’t forget them. Accuracy is important for maximizing DPS, but it doesn’t have to be here, it can also be on gloves or ring.

Amulet

Any +1 to lightning/fire/cold gems with life/resist will last you a long time. In the endgame I wear Replica Dragonfang's Flight, it’s usually cheap and gives great damage.

Chest

Skin of the Lords with any keystone that doesn’t hurt the build, I provided a search link up top.

Before that, wear a Skin of the Loyal.

Boots

You will need the ailment avoidance implicit to hit 100% when combined with Ancestral Vision, how high it needs to be depends on your gear and a few other things. Otherwise just the movement speed, life, and whatever resistance you can afford.

Gloves

Open prefix for leech damage, plus high life and however much resist you can get. Once again the suppress implicit may not need to be 7%, it depends on other gear/tree choices.

Belt

The Tides of Time has completely removed our need to craft an endgame belt, this just gives us base charge regen which we already scaled so it’s perfect. Make sure it has 3 utility flask charges gained, the other two rolls don’t matter.

Shield

Armour/evasion base, spell suppression, life, resistances. Other useful things are available here, such as the crit damage reduction, accuracy, attack speed, etc.

Rings

Perfect place to cover accuracy, attributes, or resists that you are missing. Plus life and elemental attack damage.

The INT roll won’t be needed here if you run Dash instead of Flame Dash.

Jewels

Uniques

• Megalomaniac: Very flexible jewel slot, I provide a search link up top. These can have any 3 cluster jewel notables so feel free to experiment.

• Watcher's Eye: The end goal here is “% attack damage with Precision” plus a Determination mod. You can go for phys damage reduction, armour or reduced critical damage with Determination they are all good.

• Thread of Hope: A massive ring thread of hope lets us reach several useful nodes while saving tons of points on travel, if these are expensive you can also run a Wind Dancer version of Impossible Escape to get some of the benefit.

• Brutal Restraint: These can roll with all kinds of useful things: elemental damage, projectile damage, flask charges, alchemists genius, onslaught on kill.

Cluster Jewels

Large: Feed the Fury and Martial Prowess are most important if you can only get two, but it is worth upgrading to the 3 node later on as it helps when min/maxing gear.

Medium: We use 3 of these, all the same with Eye to Eye + Repeater. Both of these are very high value nodes.

Flasks

Life

Sapphire+Topaz

Check this out for more info on crafting flasks: Flask Crafting Guide

Explosive Concoction will consume charges from these flasks without activating them, and you won’t have enough charges to use them anyway. Therefore we have no need to roll a suffix, and can use the enchant for 80% increased charges gained while completely ignoring the downside.

Utility

Our other two utility flasks have nearly the same charge generation (minus the enchant), but we can actually use them. We therefore have enough charges to hit them once in each area and let them run.
