Velyna's Spectral Shield Throw Warden Gearing (PoE Necropolis)

Item Searches

• Watchers Eye – Hatred penetration is top priority, the search here includes a bunch of secondary options, just turn off the ones you don’t care about.
• Medium Cluster Jewel – 4-5 Passives with Basics of Pain and Pressure Points.
• Large Cluster – 8 Passives with Battle-Hardened, Furious Assault, Iron Breaker. Usually not expensive to get all 3.
• Brutal Restraint – There are a lot of options here, I recommend learning to use the search built into PoB. This search will give several good options and I have also added each into the endgame PoB so you can see what each will do. Only the number is important here, we don’t care about the name.

Armour/Weapons

This section is a quick visual overview of my gear choices and a bit of explanation for each.

Helm

This helmet gives us the base crit chance we need to get near 100%, and it’s easier than it looks to craft. There is a video linked above to help you out. You can get by without it for quite a long time but the upgrade is substantial.

Amulet

Replica Dragonfang's Flight We want the +3 to Spectral Shield Throw Gems so we can hit the damage breakpoint. Going from level 23 Spectral Shield Throw to level 24 gives a big boost in damage.

Chest

A nice mix of defense and offense, helping us cap suppression and avoidance while the implicits boost our DPS output by a ton.

Boots

Nothing special required here other than the implicits. You may need suppression here if you don’t go for the grace mod on watchers eye.

Gloves

The 35% conversion is a betrayal mod, you will likely have to buy it then try to touch it up with crafting. Adding another 25% conversion with eldritch implicits puts us at 60%, and the cold damage mastery gives the last 40% for total conversion.

Belt

Nothing complicated, just big life from a hunter base with % and flat. The STR is also required, but can be a lower roll if you get more somewhere else. Having hunter instead of elder gives access to a potential flask charge on crit mod.

Ring 1

This slot can take some weight off the belt for STR requirements, in addition to giving life, and resists. The accuracy may not be needed, don’t worry too much about it.

Ring 2

I like at least one Amethyst base for chaos res, and we need a high INT roll on one ring.

Weapon

Because we don’t attack with a weapon, there aren’t many mods we can use here. Luckily the ones shown here are quite powerful. Make sure it’s a base with global crit multi implicit, and Shaper influenced. You can roll it with Essences of Sorrow for a slightly higher penetration roll than Shaper gives on it’s own.

Shield

Emperor's Vigilance is ideal for us because our attack scales off the armour, and our crit chance from the Energy Shield.

Jewels

• Watcher's Eye: Hatred penetration is big DPS for us and doesn’t require using a weapon. As a secondary mod, I like the suppression from Grace to make capping easier.
• Seething Fury: Allows us to scale crit without a weapon, and another good corrupt target.
• Brutal Restraint: So many good things we can pick up here, including crit chance, stun avoid, added cold, and projectile damage. Even Onslaught on kill. There is a timeless jewel finder built into PoB and I recommend learning to use it, but I have also put several options into a premade search above.

Cluster Jewels

Large: 8 Passives maximum to use the fewest points. Even with all 3 notables shown above this jewel is usually quite cheap and they are all high-value.

Medium: The classic 4-5 passive crit with Basics of Pain and Pressure Points. Fantastic for scaling crit, can be expensive at first, but worth it.

Flasks

• Unique: Taste of Hate: As a cold converted physical build this is a pretty obvious choice, great for boss DPS at early stages if you can afford it then.

• Life: I usually run something like this, the lowlife mod is just my preference but the bleed mod will save your life so many times.

• Utility: This is a fairly generic setup, and almost always I will run something like it. Use these to shore up your weaknesses, for example you can get a more defensive suffix on the diamond if desired. You can even run a granite instead of the Taste of Hate for quite awhile, in addition to the jade, for massive armour with flasks up.
