00:02:10 Grand Priest Z
00:02:32 Some wildlife
00:02:43 Undead Nemesis
00:03:45 Bane'Gargoth
00:04:06 Root of all Evil
00:04:32 Lokarr
Main aims of the build:
- Have as much aura damage going on as possible. Most non-elites just melt, so that works :)
- Convert as much elemental damage as possible to vitality damage
- Be able to safely, consistently and fairly quickly kill Lokarr
- Have end-game gear that is relatively easy to acquire
- Level up and cruise through main campaign without needing to skill-swap (much)
The two main vitality-conversion items are monster infrequents that do not rely on specific RNG prefix/suffix rolls or scaling values. That's significant, because it means you can use whatever item drops, even those obtained at a low level, without the need for extreme farming. At end-game (for example in this video) I'm still using the Namadea's Eye I picked up in Normal difficulty. The Leafmane trophy is also quite low level, necessary due to the high spirit requirement for higher-level versions.
Namadea's Eye - drops from Namadea in Barrowholm cellar. Drop rate is about 20% so you may have to kill Namadea a few times before you get one. Note - you have to be hostile with Barrowholm in order to access the area where this boss spawns. I recommend going hostile with Barrowholm in Normal to get the MI item, then switching to friendly in Elite through Ultimate because of the decent vitality items and augments sold by the Barrowholm vendor. Namadea's Eye has multiple useful damage conversions for an Apostate, affecting both Ranged Expertise (Inquisitor) and Spectral Binding (Necro).
Leafmane Trophy - drops fairly frequently from various Leafmane enemies found mostly in Ugdenbog/Barrowholm areas. Converts 100% fire damage to vitality on Inquisitor Seal. Also adds a flat 110 vitality damage to Inq Seal, and -15% vitality reduction.
Third item for conversion to vitality damage (among other things) is Radaggan's Mask. You will need to have the blueprint drop to be able to craft this item. Wearing this gives:
+1 to all Necro skills
+1 to all Inquisitor skills
-1 second recharge to Mark of Torment
12% damage absorption to MoT
2 meter target area to Aura of Censure
100% fire damage converted to vitality to AoC
-80 OA to AoC
-80 DA to Aoc
You can see this is a pretty good item for this build!
You can also craft another mask and transmute it to the shoulder armor from Radaggan's set. Might take a few rolls of the transmute RNG to get the shoulders. If you don't fancy doing that, pick up some Korvan Pauldrons (they are the ones with Elemental-to-vitality damage conversion) and farm for a decent drop with the resistances you need. Or just wear the best shoulder item you have acquired that suits the build and your specific needs/playstyle.
All the other gear is really just 'wear whatever you have that best fits the build'. I tend to prioritise resistances over damage in hardcore, but feel free to go damage crazy if you want to... just try not to die ;-)
