Flasks - I put these first because it is very important to acquire a life flask with remove burning this mixed with soul of ryslatha->pantheon for generating life flask charges allows the player to always be able to stop righteous fire burning if you have taken too much damage recently, it is also very important for proccing Soul of Arakaali-Queen of great tangle for 50% increased recovery rate of energy shield. BiS would be a colossal with 25%reduced charges used.
Other flasks I recommend are enduring curse/freeze mana flasks and bleed immune sulphur flask as well as an adrenaline quicksilver.
Weapon - Rare wand/Sceptre with Fire damage over time multiplier and fire damage are priority, strength/intelligence/mana/damage over time multiplier suffix are all icing on the cake
Jewels - Look for mods like burning damage, fire damage, increased maximum energy shield, increased maximum mana, strength and intelligence, and resistance. Watchers Eye -> Clarity Gain as Maximum Energy shield is BiS worth 3k ES to the build, by no means do you need this, it should be the last upgrade you get, literally triples the cost of the build. Just grab a recovery rate discipline jewel or damage over time multiplier malevolence for better damage or super nice regen for much cheaper. And last but not least Healthy mind is BiS in witch cluster to reach extremely high mana pool.
Shapers Touch - Cheap item not too shortly after league starts and shapers been killed a few hundred times, BiS allowing us to get strength on our gear just like int to get us Increased ES and additional Mana. +2 aura corruption is not necessary but will get you 1max fire res and higher level discipline. This can also be achieved with cheap +2duration corruption if you buy lvl21 vaal discipline/vaal purity of fire
Belt - Crystal Belt Hunter/Elder base, spammed with deafening essence of spite to get Attribute% and Intelligence Well Rolled One is expensive to craft but if you roll one, and want to upgrade, roll a different base, and once you hit better roll/descent roll but not better, sell the worse base for profit. made spent 7-9 crafting these belts sold my extra less good results for 15ex. Cheap alternative is just a cyclopean coil.
Shield - Rare with ES and resistances, crafted my by spamming dense fossils on titanium ilvl86 base and then slammed with crusader for shock. Aegis Aurora would be a cheap and strong alternative
Helmet - Hubris Circle with Delve -9 Fire res mod and good es, craft this using Scorched and Dense fossils. Do not worry about crafting this if you cannot afford to annoint crusader on your amulet, if that's the chase just buy a inward eye awakener helmet. Gives roughly same EHP and more damage if you can't afford to annoint crusader. If for some reason inward eye is expensive mindspiral gives same ehp with less damage
Amulet - Astramentis does as just as much ES for the character as this rare does but is missing 28% damage->would make up for this because i could get rid of dex nodes. I was trying to jorgin corrupt it into talisman with %increased attributes which would be far and away BiS for this build but alas I missed it twice.
Boots - Enchant with 2% regen is very strong and I would highly recommend buying a base to craft with this enchant, if you have minimal currency rainbowstride is a good cheap early alternative.
Chest - Shaveronne's Wrappings or Solaris Lorica are mandatory for mapping to not get one shot by chaos damage bypassing your huge ES defense. With a 5L shavs you will use Efficacy instead of Arcane surge and Swift Affliction not too big of a damage loss and will still be able to clear all content. But for highest endgame damage you will chest swap to an arcane surge chest with high ES, this can be done to fight the majority of endgame content except for awakener/chimera/chayula/ect chaos bosses. This chest was crafted spamming dense+aetheric fossils.
Rings - rare rings with high strength and int + energy shield/mana and crafted strength&int or all attributes will give highest ES and damage, but QoL and survival would be to buy a shaveronnes revelation for es regeneration and slightly less ehp/damage
