Affliction sucks
1Laning / Sustainoptional
Author's category · 5 items
Extra Regen
Pretty good, out of combat regen works nice with Imp spirit & monster rounds (and more). Box runs = lots of hp
Monster Rounds
Nice in lane for getting wave prio, regen and sustain helps too
Restorative Shot
If in lane burgering 24/7. Helps if vs fatter heroes for +50/6s
Grit
It's op. Great for hitting sinners
Healing Rite

Mystic Shot
Sometimes you can pick this up before Cold front / 4.8k spirit as strong in laning w/ barrage. Same logic for resto w/ securing hits with barrage.
Cultist Sacrifice
Built from Monster Rounds
Solid item, souls are nice. Low prio lategame so sell for active slot (ESHIFT).
5Mobility
Author's category · 2 items
Warp Stone
Been getting this as my main 3.2 green. More consistent mobility and uptime than leap.
Majestic Leap
Usually delay for much later (after trans cd / burn etc...)
61.6k optionsoptional

Enchanter's Emblem
its decent, but we aren't trying to be a tank. +15SP & cdr is good
Reactive Barrier
Built from Grit
If vs CC this is phenomenal.
Spirit Shielding
Built from Grit
7Raw damage

Spirit Burn
Insane damage. You can proc with barrage & tankbuster from very far away / the sky. Easier procs with tankbuster if needed. Makes affliction lethal.

Duration incredible with burn
Mystic Vulnerability
If they have lots of resists.
8Core
Author's category · 2 items

Bread and butter survivability item. With max 3 & duration/cd you can satchel for 4 sec -> eshift 4 sec -> satchel 4 sec. Super hard to kill.

Improved Spirit
Built from Extra Spirit
Burst / stats. Regen is big actually.
Mystic Expansion
Yes, this on barrage. AOE is huge. When you max ult get Greater Expansion.
A crutch.
Spirit Lifesteal
Its fine, I like this with a sustain oriented build w/ eshift rush.
Boundless Spirit
Built from Improved Spirit
Squishy enemies and you are snowballing or you are slotlocked (unlikely)
Cheat Death
Stop dying
Leech
Built from Spirit Lifesteal
General sustain is kinda nuts.
Mystic Reverb
damage and lifesteal
Diviner's Kevlar

Spellslinger
Probably the best 6.4k gun, you use lots of spells/items so this is capped and you murder people.
Refresher
ult bot
Phantom Strike
if you need to get on the pesky fliers or have crazy burst after boundless / arctic and want to blow people up.
