[3.23] Corrupting Fever Champion (League Starter) | Path of Exile Gems (2024)

• Excellent clear speed and movement speed
• Very good League starter
• Easy to understand gear progression
• Ranged playstyle

• Relies heavily on few select Uniques

Helmet

Rare Helm

A rare helmet with evasion/armour base. Look for high intelligence, high life and elemental resistances.

Body Armour

Skin of the Lords

We need a Skin of the lords with the links: 3Red 1 Green 2 Blue. We mostly use this for the +2 levels and global defence modifier.

There are several strong Keystones we are looking forward to such as Resolute Technique, Call to Arms or Iron Will.

You must avoid and under no circ*mstances pick up your Skin of the Lords with following Keystones:

Zealot’s Oath
Ancestral Bond
Blood Magic
Supreme Ego
Vaal Pact

Gloves

Haemophilia

One of the key pieces of gear to chain explode the mobs. Use any rare gloves until you get Haemophilia Unique gloves.

Boots

Rare Boots

Look for rare boots with high movement speed, life and elemental resistances.

Left Ring

Rare Ring

Rare ring with life, stats and -# total mana cost for non-channeling skills.

If you can afford, get a ring with Vulnerability on Hit. That will greatly boost the damage output.

Right Ring

Rare Ring

Rare ring with life, stats and -# total mana cost for non-channeling skills.

If you can afford, get a ring with Vulnerability on Hit. That will greatly boost the damage output.

Amulet

Rare Amulet

Rare amulet with life, damage over time multiplier, stats and most importantly, +1 to level of all physical skill gems to boost our damage.

Belt

Doryani's Invitation

We grab Doryani’s Invitation with physical damage as it is overall cheap and very strong belt. As an alternative you can consider well rolled Stygian Vise with life and elemental resistances if you would prefer being more tanky.

1Hand Weapon

Poet's Pen

The Poet’s Pen is our one and only real choice here. The only thing that rolls on this item that we care about, is the attack speed. Try to acquire one with 12%, but any poet’s pen is better than no poet’s pen.

Until we can acquire our pen, we will use a rare wand.

We do not want to invest much in this, but the following modifiers are valuable to us:
Damage over Time Multiplier
Physical Damage over Time Multiplier
Level of all Spell Skills
Level of all Physical Spell Skills

Whatever you can get for cheap works, do NOT invest heavily in this as you will be replacing it with the aforementioned pen ASAP.

Offhand

Saffell's Frame

Saffell’s Frame is the go-to choice here. Several things roll here, and ideally, we want them all as high as possible.

I would advise focusing on spell block and elemental resistance, spell damage does not hurt either but it’s not hugely important.

Jewel

Thread of Hope (Very Large Ring)

We socket the Thread of Hope next to the Endurance notable.

Jewel

Glorious Vanity

We socket Glorious Vanity next to the Hierarchy notable to allocate Divine Flesh Keystone.

Jewel

Watcher's Eye

We look for +#% To damage over time multiplier while affected by Malevolence.

Jewel

Cluster Jewels

Large Cluster Jewels:

Battle-Hardened
Furious Assault
Master the Fundementals

Jewel

Rare Jewels

1. Increased Global Physical Damage
2. Physical Damage over Time Multiplier
3. Maximum Life
4. Increased Attack Speed

Flask

Flask Setup

1. Seething Divine Life Flask of Alleviation
2. masoch*st’s Quartz Flask of Heat
3. masoch*st’s Granite Flask of the Tortoise
4. masoch*st’s Jade Flask of the Curlew
5. masoch*st’s Quicksilver Flask of the Antelope
