My fav weapon right now is insight in a eth Shillelagh. Same max dps as non eth cv but min dam is insane high and has essentially 0stat req. best paired with a meph book. Weapon swap into cta+ splendor with +3bind / consume for pre buff and save/exit game


Eth Insight Shillelagh is my baby this ladder, absolutely on this side. From a budget gaming perspective it hits all the marks. No stat req = more vit = more survival, closer min-max = consistent pace of clear, 4os max = consistent larzuk = cheaper market, also something I can plan for QoL. 4os Eth archon staff would be my splurge but that thing is going for about an Ohm-Lo at minimum 7-8x the price noty -_-

This guy gets it. Eth cv with 750 max but 85min will just not 1-2 tap stuff on low rolls.sometimes. Basically same avg dam and low rolls that still 1 tap with no req, can’t beat it. I think ppl largely forgot that insights can get made in staff since you’d nvr actually use one and give up +skills on a caster before

The best in slot option for an optimized build is a +2 skill / 20 fcr circlet with 2 sockets and useful affixes like resists. Hellwarden's will is basically a budget version of that with +1 skills, 20 fcr and 1 socket and +6 maek. You don't care at all about its -resists or ias. Its certainly the best option for a build that doesn't have a godly circlet since you will need that 20% fcr to hit 125 on most of these setups

Its 'probably' better than Coven runeword depending on what you socket I guess, for a budget build you'd have to decide between +6 maek / 15 all resists with um hellwardens vs coven with +5 laek / 40 mf / 30 fr
i dunno kinda really minor choice difference


what does your mf gear looks like (budget friendly?) I want to max MF but still struggling some time with archers (amp) killing me in seconds.

one other question. Since im going basically full Phys, hellwarden is kind of worthless for me right?


1/20 is pretty damn good for echoing strike until you have something better. Do you have a better helm/circlet?

I have a coven for the MF but i like hellwarden better with a 15@ jewel in it.

No. Fanat is aura enchanted (same as holy freeze etc). I suppose can make an argument that fanat/cursed is better for single target, but procing a whole screen of amp is too good to give up

No. The aura enchanted is the conviction. Cursed is separate.
