Krysbin's Sentence

general:

make sure to get a weapon with +20 max Essence as secondary stat (could not select this here)
for offhand, -6% dmg from ranged / melee is optimal as secondary stat

Gear options:

Witching Hour, Nemesis Bracers & Zei's Stone of Vengeance (instead of Molten Wildebeests Gizzard) if you don't need the toughness *
Unity (+ appropriate templar relic) if you need additional 50% dmg reduction from follower

Jewels:

weapon: Emerald
helmet: Amethyst (be aware, this build has no skills with cooldown - so a Diamond will be useless!)
armor: Topaz

* if you swap Dayntee's Binding for Withcing Hour, don't forget to swap Decrepify for either Leech / Transmittable or Army of the Dead / Deatch Valley, too!

Build Guide

Common Rathma build with slight modifications to better match my play style. It was able to took me to GR40 with NO ancient item, NO green jewel on weapon, just one gem at 25, etc. ... easily already at ~ p200.

Updates:

2017-08-07 added stat priorities on gear
2017-08-21 Skills on gear should be correct now
