you are only crafting two pieces of gear. Boots and Gloves . ideally you want to aim for the lowest strength requirements. so Sacred Rare Leather Gloves and Boots

Is it Sacred craft and eerie bless for the boots craft? Or sacred craft AND sacred bless

I proc all of the time. I don't think it's just Moonstrike causing it, so I'm fairly certain GT procs. I want to test if it leeches also, and if it is affected by IAS instead of FCR.

- 100% ias increases glacial torrent attack speed. as for leach the only thing that will probably work is Life After each Kill or Life on Striking.

I was thinking Energy hole and socketing all equipment with ice runes. Energy hole to get me to 2k energy faster, dumping the rest in to vitality. Life + pierce + Energy

yea thats one way of making it work. theres so many alternatives to reaching 2k energy. you will get the same result i believe so it doesn't matter which route you take. Whether its a life wormhole and pure stat energy or vice versa. etc.
