This is a complete gear guide following Mekuna's Ballkuna Build, filtered for all 4 variants to provide you with the most efficient grind through your progress.

Build can be found at: https://infinitybuilds.gg/en/builds/eEriH389bt or in the guide link.

All credit to Mekuna for the build.

Please note this is the light version of this filter-set and might drop sub-optimal gear, still high-tier endgame capable.

Please also note all helms/chest armors/boots/amulets and offhands are hidden by default other than the required mythics and uniques.

Strict version: 

https://diablofilter.com/filter/strict-ball-lightning-ballkuna-bosses-leaderboard-pit-52729f27

EACH ITEM HAS AT LEAST 1 MANDATORY AFFIX (GA) AND 1 MANDATORY OPTIONAL AFFIX. 

Magic/Rare loot (colored Non-GA and GA);

Magic and rare loot is not excluded if it meets the required minimum affixes, you can cube them to get an extra affix and put the aspect on later, good rolls drop regular on these items.

I've separated ALL loot types so you can turn them off in the loot filter so they won't drop anymore.

Normal affix items (colored Non-GA):

Where there are 3 optional affixes, at least 1 is mandatory.

Where there are 2, at least 1 is mandatory.

Greater affix items (colored GA):

The GA requirement in the filter is random to prevent drop rates becoming way too low.

E.G. the build requirement for Fractured Winterglass is Ranks To All Skills, the loot filter states 1/3 optional affixes and 1/1 requirement affix needs to roll. 

That leaves 2 possible slots on which the GA possible could roll, tough break. If you prefer to look only for the GA on [+]to all skills please feel free to adjust the item filter.

Leaving it this way keeps the option to drop a great item with other GA affixes other then single best affix.

To adjust it, open the loot filter, go to the specific item and select the magnifying glass behind "Select Greater Affix(es)" and choose the pre-set GA (they are already build optimal choices).

Unique items (colored Non-GA and GA combined):

Raiment of the Infinite, Fractured Winterglass, Esu's Heirloom, Strike of Stormhorn

Because the minimum affix requirement is set the GA/Non-GA is combined as the drops are not too frequent and you can filter them out easily yourself.

If you find anything with non-satisfying affixes or stats you can pile them up and 3-to-1 convert them in the cube.

Please note the following  GA's are best per item:

Raiment of the Infinite: Intelligence

Fractured Winterglass: Ranks to All Skills

Esu's Heirloom: Intelligence

Strike of Stormhorn: Critical Strike Damage Multiplier

Mythic unique items (colored Non-GA and GA combined):

Heir of Perdition, Ring of Starless Skies and El'Druin Sword of Justice

Because the affixes on MU items are fixed and these 3 are always useable in the build all variants will show.

Please note the following GA's are the best per item:

Heir of Perdition: %Critical Strike Chance

Ring of Starless Skies: [+] to Core Skills, %Critical Strike Chance

El'Druin, Sword of Justice: [+] to All Skills

Charm-set Tal Rasha Threefold Way (colored [+] to Shock skills):

Berú of the Threefold (+3 shock skills)

Fer of the Threefold (+3 shock skills)

Linta of the Threefold (+3 shock skills)

Mlor of the Threefold (+3 shock skills)

Phoba of the Threefold (+3 shock skills)

Unique charm not included, look for Godslayer Crown (Ballkuna), Rustbitten Dirk (Bosses), Crown of Lucion (Pit/Leaderboard)

A codex affix check (colored Upgrade Affix)is performed at the end of the ruleset if there is no hit on all of the above.

All non relevant (less then required affix count, wrong affixes) is hidden by default on the last rule, if you'd like to see the regular gear drop again switch off this rule. This rule prevents you needing to sort out useless piles of loot so I advice keeping it on.

Please note that all Talisman items are excluded from being hidden, non relevant >salvage for mats or 3-to-1 convert them.

Mythics are excluded from being hidden so you won't ever miss one. Stash or salvage irrelevant ones.
