Death's Oath Soulrend Occultist Gear & Flasks (PoE The Forbidden Sanctum)
SUMMARY – TL;DR
Cap your Elemental Resistances and get the attributes your gems require to make sure you can use them all. The only mandatory big item is the Death's Oath. Keep in mind that most unique items can be replaced with rare items till you can afford them!
My quick list recommended approach for this build would be:
Item Slot | Item Name/Mods | Rarity |
Head | Armour Base | Rare |
Amulet | Marble Amulet | Rare |
Chest | Death's Oath | Unique |
Gloves | Armour Base | Rare |
Boots | Armour Base | Rare |
Belt | Leather Belt or Stygian Vise | Rare |
Rings | Iolite Ring | Rare |
Weapon | Wand with +1 All Chaos Spell Skills and Chaos DoT Multi | Rare |
Offhand | Shield or another Wand similar your Main hand | Rare |
Armour Pieces
Many of the higher-budget examples can either be purchased or crafted. When crafting, I would strongly suggest utilizing Craft of Exile to determine the cheapest approach to crafting the desired items.
Since most items in this build are Rare, the main focus will be to have as much Life as possible and sort any attributes and resistances so we can reach the desired caps. However, there are some juicy choices one can take to increase the build’s efficiency, although they will come with a higher price tag.
Helmet
Rare Helmet with high Life is key here with resistances and attributes as needed
Body Armour
The core of the build comes from the Death's Oath so there are no alternatives.
Gloves
Rare gloves with high Life are key here with resistances and attributes as needed. If you want to push for more damage you can look for a Hunter influenced item with the “Chaos Damage over time multiplier” modifier.
Boots
Rare boots with high Life are key here with resistances and attributes as needed. Make sure to get a good Move Speed Roll!
Belt
The belt comes with a variety of options.
For a lower budget version, you can use any belt, preferably a Stygian Vise due to the jewel slot, with high Life and attributes and/or resistances as needed.
The jewel you slot in here has to be an Abyss jewel. I would suggest making sure there is a Life roll on it and attributes and/or resistances as needed. Any damage modifiers should be chaos or damage over time-oriented to further scale your damage output.

Flasks
Flask set-ups are almost always a matter of personal taste when it comes to what utility flasks to use. However, I will list the set-up I’ve been using for a smooth play experience. To find the available list of modifiers the flasks can have, check out these links: Utility Flasks, Life Flasks, Mana Flasks & lastly: Hybrid Flasks
