3 Uniques and 2 set pieces required for build to work:

Corpsewhisper Pauldrons
The Johnstone
Moribound Gauntlets
2 pieces of Pestilence set

Aquila is also pretty nice since you're always at 100% essence.

The rest of my gear is pretty meh, so the stuff marked as adequate can be whatever floats your boat. The same goes for cube and Legendary gems.
