Acolyte of Skin Gearing Suggestions

[Purr]

Going to bang out a few Racial Lives 1-20. Figured I'd try out the Skin Acolyte thingie.

Any gearing suggestions I want to make sure I incorporate while I go through 1-18?

Thanks!

Borderland fire/impulse. Then fire/radiance (swap to radiance once you get utterdark) gear as you level. Ring of summer heat from feywild. Fey set for bonuses. Various fire/radiance gear as you level. https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Coalesced_Coinage off-hand. At 15, 3 piece flamecleansed + Resplendant Fury orb.

I generally have the following as core items for my Acolyte of Skin lives:

• Runic Trinket (ML 2)
• Cloak of the Mimic (ML 4 - slotted with Moderate Fortification)
• Ring of Summer Heat (ML 5)
• Hallowsphere (ML 5 - slotted with Ruby of Impulse 5)
• Amber Pendant (ML 5)
• Spinneret (ML 8)
• Barovian Scepter (ML 10)
• Gem of Many Facets (ML 10 - Impulse, Kinetic Lore, Insightful Impulse)
• Golden Greaves (ML 11)
• Ring of Baphomet (ML 11)
• Cloak of Flames (ML 11 variant)
• Order's Garb (ML 15)
• Dusk Lenses (ML 15)
• Aetherband (ML 15)

You don't have to overthink gearing for Acolyte of Skin. Fire spellpower, Fire Lore, Impulse or Radiance spellpower, Impulse or Radiance Lore, some Spell Focus, some CHA, and I personally like some flat DR/- for survival.

Okay, so when I get to 20, what would be the ETR 20 to 30 path? Use epic coalesced coinage as my sentient since I'll use that from 21 to 30 or so?

I just run lvl 15 3 piece flamecleansed + Resplendant Fury orb, lvl 20 epic elders set, epic borderlands caster stick (mine is rigged up with a bunch of filigrees for DCs), Epic Cinderfingers, CHA ring from borderlands at 21, and a few misc pieces of gear. I swap in a salt off-hand at 26. Otherwise, it just stays that until I swap to legendary gear.
