2. ⚔️ Core Jewel Setup Guide
· **8-Passive Minion Damage Cluster Jewel**: Uses 'Feast of Flesh', 'Renewal', and 'Vicious Bite'. 'Renewal' (increased damage) and 'Vicious Bite' (critical strike chance and multiplier) are essential. Aim for two 8-passive cluster jewels.
· **Grand Spectrum**: You must secure either 'Unwavering Stance' or 'Righteous Path' to ensure mana reservation efficiency. It's good to choose one that also has 'Renewal' or 'Vicious Bite'.
· **Small Cluster Jewel (2-Passive Armour)**: Craft the 'Enduring Composure' passive skill to gain Endurance Charges when hit, maintaining full Endurance Charges at all times. This significantly contributes to physical and elemental damage reduction.
· **Regular Jewels**: Supplement life or lacking attributes.
· **Timeless Jewel**: Use 'Elegant Hubris' 89960. It's crucial to acquire as many 'Slum Lord' passive skills as possible with minimal node investment.
