" Remember that mana recovery rate and total mana is basically our tank. If you're finding yourself squishy, this is where I'd look. Checking your gear/passives I notice the below improvements that should help with total mana + mana recovery rate. Enjoy :) ----- Atziri's Foilble will help you a lot. Ungils is just for beginning. Leyline gloves help a LOT Mana recov on belt also helps a lot Boot enchant is also super important If you can swing Crown of the Inward Eye while retaining 75/75/75 resists, do it. Your mana roll on CoD is pretty low. Worth divining a higher one if you have the orbs. Flasks. You're not using the recommended ones under Flasks section. Unsure how much this is effecting you though You're also missing a mana passive next to Battle Rouse. Last edited by Goshawk2 on Apr 22, 2021, 8:57:04 PM

First off, thank you for this guide! I'm pretty much a new player, having just reached maps for the first time, and this guide has been an absolute lifesaver.
On to my question: I've just reached tier 11 maps, and I'm having a bit of a struggle. My DPS feels fine (except boss DPS feels super low), but survivability is hit or miss. I'll feel fine on 100% HP, then suddenly get killed from 100 to 0 before I can react. I realize I can use some health on my gloves and body, but is there any other easy tip at this point to improve surviability? | |
" Cloak of Defiance would be a huge survivability upgrade for you. It's pretty core to the build, although quite expensive to 6L. Understandable to not have yet. Your heartbreaker is likely a big part of your low boss dps. You'll want to upgrade that ASAP to a rare wand as per the items section on guide. Boots enchant is actually super helpful for survivability. Recommend farming lab for it or buying it on TFT if available. Leyline gloves are an insane boost to survivability. Get some :P You're also using Healthy Mind. Remember this makes us quite squishy as per guide. Last edited by Goshawk2 on Apr 22, 2021, 9:05:24 PM

Thanks a lot! I didn't realize the wand is responsible for my boss DPS, nor that the boot enchant would make such a difference. And to be honest, the "leyline" innate completely slipped past me - lots of info for a new player here.
For the cloak of defiance, the guide mentions upgrading at some point to a 5l cloak. If I were to do this, which support gem do you recommend I drop on arc? | |

i cant stress enough that this guide is brilliant , i have re-looked it and many many times and i always pick up things or if i sway off target with gear or skill tree it gets me back on track
keep referring back to it , it answers many many questions Well done Enki | |
" Also, make sure you're using Arcane Cloak correctly. When you cast, it needs to consume enough mana to activate arcane surge. If you're casting when you're almost out of mana, it's possible you're not activating it every time and missing out on some regen there. I'm able to sustain rf this way even without an atziri's foible or cloak of defiance. | |

Recover %mana on block is a huge deal.
Shield with this affix should be highest priority after we take Glancing Blows and wheel with block near it. At least for a trade league. Last edited by HennekY on Apr 23, 2021, 2:05:42 AM

" I'd recommend dropping the 6th link named under gems in the guide. Ie, controlled destruction. I'd also recommend combing over the guide a bit more carefully if you're relying solely on the path of building. | |

i have 2 questions:
1) we have so much unique thats i forgot the idea to keep 75 chaos res, so i have "free affix", have to change 2 "start item", glove and a ring. and don't know really wich way take.(just need 30dex) first i mean take a second worm and take zealotry in, 17% more spell and concecrated ground, or go to do something good with vernillon or opale ring ? (and maybe try to found/craft a good warlord/fingerless glove .) 2) sometime i found i have "no-dps", boss life go down very slowly, but other time seem ok, i don't really understand why this happen. we have no crit so dmg should be "regular" , if anyone have an idea ? (may be something i miss understand in the build or i forgot) by the way it's a great build, |
