Basically not much has changed considering the gameplay of this build. We are still able to lock down every mob with the Tiklandian Visage and Horrify, expect the Boss of course, for that we got Rush of Essence as a Passive Skill so we can spam Haunt and hopefully procc the secondary stats on our Gloves, Belt and Boots. It doesnt lock the Boss down guarantueed, but it provides a chance for some additional crowd control.

Reduces the duration of control impairing effects is a stat we going to need to be at around 40% or higher, below it might get troublesome on Electrified/Nightmarish Elitepack affix combos (Possible slots: Rings, Headpiece), since you cant interupt the Electrified casting (this cast also proccs Nightmarish on you) and that's the reason why we run the Xephirian Necklace as a mandatory item.


This is a SMK version of the build. Depending on how much the DPS needs Health Globes we can switch back to the 2.1.2 Solanium setup. That would mean we would have to switch to gear that gives us 50+ Critical Hit Chance in the best case, that means that we are going to lose thoughness though.. Everything else will stay gearwise.

Skillchanges would be -> removing "Fetish Army" and picking "Plague of Toads", with the "Rain of Toads" rune on the active Skills, and -> remove "Jungle Fortitude" and pick "Tribal Rites" instead


But let's get back to the actual changes.

One of the new Items coming in Season 3, the Occulus ring, is an amazing Supporter Item.

On top of the Reduces damage taken from Elites (12-16%), it has a new secondary skill, which provides a damage buff (35-40% increased damage).(please see Item section for tooltip, screenshot there)

That effect occurs not only on kill, but also on assist. Thats the reason why it is so good for a Support Char, and why Asheara's set is a viable option once again. I equipped all 3 Followers with the Occulus Ring, Testresult below.
