Weapons
Wand With Modifiers for Additional Levels to Spell Skills
The most important thing to look for with your wand would be for it to give additional levels to your Chaos skills since this is your main source of damage. It would be ideal for it to also boost damage and cast speed to make sure your attacks land before enemies can swarm you.
Use Chiming Staff for Sigil of Power
Use Chiming Staff specifically for its passive skill, Sigil of Power. This skill is useful for this build's skill rotation.
List of Weapons
Armor
Atziri's Disdain Gold Circlet is Great for Lich Builds
This unique helmet is a great choice to further boost survivability by increasing your Maximum Energy Shield. In addition, it also provides a little extra Maximum Mana, which is a good bonus.
Flowing Raiment or Any Body Armour with Energy Shield
Use whatever Body Armour provides the best Energy Shield, Mana Regeneration, and Elemental Resistances.
List of Armors
Accessories
Use Pearl Rings for Cast Speed
For your rings, get as much Cast Speed as you can since you want your totems and other spells to land immediately. Aside from that, stats such as Maximum Life, Elemental Resistances, Mana and Mana Regeneration are ideal to maintain damage output and survivability.
Use an Amulet With Spell Modifiers
In general, use whatever Amulet has modifiers that increase the level of your spell skills. However, equipping a Gold Amulet would be useful because it increases the rarity of items found.
Socketables
 Sapphire |
・X% increased Energy Shield ・X% increased Mana Regeneration Rate ・X% Faster Start of Energy Shield Recharge ・X% Increased Skill Effect Duration ・X% Cast Speed ・X% increased Chaos Damage ・Recover Mana on Kill |
|---|
It is recommended to equip Sapphire Jewels to further boost your damage or defenses. You are looking for modifiers that boost damage (Cast Speed or Chaos Damage), improve survivability (Energy Shield), or helps maintain spell skills (Mana Regeneration Rate or Recover Mana on Kill).
Runes and Soul Cores
| Equipment | Sockets |
|---|---|
| Armor |
Greater Iron RuneUse Greater Iron Runes on your Body Armour to to get a 25% % increased Armour, Evasion, and Energy Shield for each rune equipped. This boosts your Energy Shield greatly and helps with survivability.
| All Runes and Soul Cores | |
|---|---|
| List of Runes | List of Soul Cores |
Charms
 Nascent Hope Thawing Charm |
・20-25% Chance to gain a Charge when you Kill an Enemy
・Energy Shield Recharge starts on use |
|---|
The Nascent Hope Thawing Charm is incredibly useful because getting frozen leaves you vulnerable to getting hit, and could be fatal if enemies manage to shred your Energy Shield. Its modifiers also trigger Energy Shield Recharge upon use, which is a good bonus.

The debuffs you apply in your presence or through an active skill makes your main damage skills even stronger. The support gems used are set up this way for the following reasons:
- Dark Effigy - Increase the number of totems you can place, while also boosting the damage it deals in general
- Essence Drain - Boost damage over time, and the Chain support gem lets this skill spread over to more enemies, making a Single-Target Skill into an effective AoE Skill
- Contagion - In addition to support gems that boost AoE and damage, Unleash almost guarantees that enemies afflicted with Contagion die and spread to other enemies since it automatically recasts a maximum of 2 times.
- Despair - Increase the effect of the curse, while also dealing Damage Over Time with Decaying Hex
- Withering Presence - Enemies are debuffed for longer, along with improved Mana Regeneration Rate
- Convalescence - Increase Cooldown Rate for constantly have full Energy Shield while also passively increasing Spell Damage

- Blink - Great movement ability you can now use twice with Second Wind
- Bonestorm - Secondary source of debuffs at the cost of life and a Power Charge.There is a chance of not removing a charge because of Perpetual Charge.

Mobbing
For general mobbing, the main combo would be a combination of Dark Effigy and Contagion.
- Use Dark Effigy as you encounter enemies and move around maps.
- When both Dark Effigy totems are active, use Contagion to spread Chaos damage to packs of enemies.
Use these two skills periodically while mapping for easy clearing.
Bossing
For bossing, you will have to pour all the debuffs and skills you have at once to deal the highest damage you can reach. The combo is as follows:
- Use Sigil of Power and Despair to buff yourself and curse enemies within range
- Place two Dark Effigy totems, maximizing damage output from both
- Use Contagion to apply Damage Over Time, hopefully spreading to enemies or minions nearby
- Use Essence Drain on the boss, applying even more Damage Over Time
From here, maintain your buffs and debuffs while also summoning more totems and using spell skills to keep up Damage Over Time output.
