Erlang Shen

Erlang Shen

This spirit stone is about staying on your feet: it noticeably shortens the duration of control-impairing effects, so stuns, freezes and the like tear you out of the fight for far less time. Especially at high difficulties, where a long loss of control quickly turns lethal, that's worth its weight in gold.

As headgear for the Monk, the stone pairs this valuable defense with all three primary stats, slotting easily into nearly any build. Practical tip: use the spirit stone above all where enemy control effects give you trouble – against foes that frequently stun or freeze, for instance. The shorter effects buy you the split seconds you need to break free instead of being stuck helpless in the danger zone.
