Extended Build

Replace boots

Notes - Spear of the Magus to more penetration
- I prefer to replace to Gem of Isolation to slow the enemy with fire and arcane instances to deal more damage. You can use more early in the build.
- Book of the Dead is good against burst like Scylla
- Rod of Tahuti if I want more damage
