Full Endgame Gem Setups

These are the exact setups from the Full Endgame build. Hover any gem to see what it does.

Weapon. A Maji TalismanMaji TalismanTalisman baseTalisman base with +(7–10) to Maximum Rage.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0, for the maximum rage. Besides that you want as much damage as you can get: physical and fire damage, attack speed, and levels of attack skills. Attributes are always welcome too, because the werewolf juggles strength, intelligence, and a little dexterity, so intelligence or strength on the weapon helps. Saqawal’s Rune of the SkySaqawal's Rune of the SkyRuneMartial Weapon: Gain 5% of Damage as Extra Damage of all ElementsWand or Staff: Gain 5% of Damage as Extra Damage of all ElementsBonded: Martial Weapon: 8% chance to gain an additional random Charge when you gain a ChargeBonded: Wand or Staff: 12% chance when collecting an Elemental Infusion to gain an additional Elemental Infusion of the same typePoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 gives 5% of damage as extra damage of all elements, and you will always want it. Fenumus’ Rune of AgonyFenumus' Rune of AgonyRuneMartial Weapon: Gain 13% of Damage as Extra Chaos DamageWand or Staff: Gain 13% of Damage as Extra Chaos DamageBonded: Martial Weapon: Gain 8% of Damage as Extra Physical DamageBonded: Wand or Staff: Gain 8% of Damage as Extra Physical DamagePoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 gives 13% of damage as extra chaos damage. I like it, but any other rune works.

Helmet. The Crown of EyesCrown of EyesUnique item(100—140)% increased Energy Shield+(150—200) to Accuracy Rating+(10—15) to all Attributes-10% to Fire ResistanceIncreases and Reductions to Spell damage also apply to AttacksPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. It makes the whole build work, and I would not play it without one. You need level 45 to equip it, and that matters for leveling. Leveling a StormweaverStormweaverAscendancy classSorceress ascendancyYou have Arcane Surge20% of Damage is taken from Mana before LifeTargets can be affected by two of your Shocks at the same timeAll Damage from Hits Contributes to Shock ChancePoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 as a werewolf from the sorceress side without the Crown of EyesCrown of EyesUnique item(100—140)% increased Energy Shield+(150—200) to Accuracy Rating+(10—15) to all Attributes-10% to Fire ResistanceIncreases and Reductions to Spell damage also apply to AttacksPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 is painful, so I don’t recommend it. Level with spells and swap to the werewolf in the late game. If you are stubborn you can level as a werewolf, but it will be a struggle.

Amulet. Spirit, maximum energy shield, levels of melee skills, and all elemental resistances to fix your resistances. Increased energy shield from equipped body armour is a lot of energy shield with a good body armour, but it is a desecrated modifier and not required. Mine is anointed with Zarokh’s GiftZarokh's GiftPassive skillSinister Jewel SocketPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 for an extra jewel socket. A good Absent AmuletAbsent AmuletAmulet baseGrants one random Spirit skill at level 12: Cast on Elemental Ailment, Cast on Critical, Cast on Dodge, Rhoa Mount, Archmage, Trinity, or Eternal RageThe granted skill does not cost you any Spirit-1 Prefix Modifier allowed-1 Suffix Modifier allowedPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 with Eternal RageEternal RageSkill gemWhile active, you constantly regenerate Rage.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 can be an upgrade over a rare amulet like mine, since it frees up 100 spirit. It has one prefix and one suffix fewer, so it needs to be rolled correctly with energy shield, and you then have to fix your resistances on your other gear pieces.

Body armour. A rare Vile RobeVile RobeBody armour baseBody armour base with 171 Energy Shield.Requires Level 65, 121 IntelligencePoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. We want all the energy shield we can get, plus spirit and resistances.

Belt. The belt is a very competitive slot. You can solve your resistances with it, or run a HeadhunterHeadhunterUnique item+(40—60) to maximum Life+(20—40) to Strength+(20—40) to DexterityWhen you kill a Rare monster, you gain its Modifiers for 60 secondsPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0, which is good in this build, so use one if you have it. I use Shavronne’s SatchelShavronne's SatchelUnique item(20—30)% reduced Flask Life Recovery rate+(20—30) to Intelligence(20—30)% increased Flask Charges gainedLife Recovery from Flasks also applies to Energy ShieldPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0, which makes life flask recovery also apply to energy shield. Solve your resistances with the other pieces so the belt doesn’t have to.

The flask matters. You need a life flask with instant recovery, no exceptions. A life flask only works if you have life to recover, even when you have energy shield to recover. With Chaos InoculationChaos InoculationKeystone passiveMaximum Life is 1Immune to Chaos Damage and BleedingPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 we sit at one life all the time, so a normal flask will never heal our energy shield. With instant recovery, every time you have energy shield to recover you press the flask and get a burst of it immediately.

Gloves. Sine AequoSine AequoUnique item(10—15)% increased Skill Speed(150—200)% increased Armour, Evasion and Energy ShieldImmobilise enemies at 50% buildup instead of 100%(30—50)% increased Damage against Immobilised EnemiesPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0, as on every werewolf build. It makes us immobilise enemies at 50% buildup instead of 100%, so I never worry about freeze buildup, which other builds have to invest in. Rare gloves give more damage, but only switch once you have enough damage to make up for the freeze buildup you lose. A Cadigan’s EpiphanyCadigan's EpiphanyRunePlace into an empty Augment Socket in a pair of Gloves to apply its effect to that item. Once socketed it cannot be retrieved or replaced.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 in the socket gives the gloves a jewel socket, which I think is the best thing you can put in gloves. In it I want spell damage, which the Crown of EyesCrown of EyesUnique item(100—140)% increased Energy Shield+(150—200) to Accuracy Rating+(10—15) to all Attributes-10% to Fire ResistanceIncreases and Reductions to Spell damage also apply to AttacksPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 converts to attack damage, maximum energy shield, and skill speed while shapeshifted. If you are rich, a better jewel with other modifiers also works.

Boots. Energy shield above all, on a full energy shield base like Sekhema SandalsSekhema SandalsBoots baseBoots base with 83 Energy Shield.Requires Level 80, 108 IntelligencePoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. You can even sacrifice movement speed, since the werewolf has plenty. Boots with 20% movement speed are fine. I have movement speed, energy shield, resistances, and a little energy shield recharge rate to be on the safe side.

Rings. Flat damage on both, for attacks, plus resistances and attributes. You also need one source of flat life regeneration per second, and it can be on any piece: a ring, the amulet, the body armour. BerserkBerserkSkill gemWhile active, strengthens your Rage, but causes you to lose Life while not losing Rage.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 makes us lose life per second while we have rage, and we have one life. Without life regeneration you will die out of nowhere and not understand what is killing you. I made this mistake myself. One life means a small amount is enough. Mine has 3 on a ring and my total life recovery is 5 per second, which keeps BerserkBerserkSkill gemWhile active, strengthens your Rage, but causes you to lose Life while not losing Rage.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 from killing me. It has to be flat, because percentage life regeneration, the VitalityVitality ISupport gemSupports Persistent Buff Skills, causing you to gain Life Regeneration while the Skill is active.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 support, life percentage on a jewel, and life percentage on the tree do nothing for a life pool of 1.

Flasks and charms. Bring a good mana flask. Mapping is fine on regeneration, but in a single target boss fight where you freeze with Lunar AssaultLunar AssaultSkill gemShapeshift into a Werewolf and swipe with your claws, projecting an arc of moonlight and ice forward in a crescent.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 you can run out of mana, and a flask fixes that. For charms I like a Dousing CharmDousing CharmCharmA charm that activates when you become Ignited.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0, because energy shield characters seem to suffer more from ignites. A Thawing CharmThawing CharmCharmA charm that activates when you become Frozen and grants immunity to Freeze.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 is a must, and the unique Nascent HopeNascent HopeUnique item(20—25)% Chance to gain a Charge when you kill an enemyEnergy Shield Recharge starts on usePoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 is very good if you can get it. I use The Fall of the AxeThe Fall of the AxeUnique itemGrants Onslaught during effectPoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 on a Silver CharmSilver CharmCharmA charm that activates when you are affected by a Slow and makes your speed unaffected by Slows.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 to be free from slows. I don’t use it for the onslaught, since Savage FurySavage FurySkill gemWhile active, your Fury builds from Attacking enemies. Using this Skill releases your Fury to send you into a bestial frenzy, gaining damage and Onslaught but constantly losing life and forcing you into animal form. The frenzy ends immediately if you return to human form. You cannot gain Fury while in a frenzy.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 already gives that, so a normal Silver CharmSilver CharmCharmA charm that activates when you are affected by a Slow and makes your speed unaffected by Slows.PoE2DB · CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 works too.

I use this one because it is cheap, and a better rare jewel will probably beat it.
