I just switched to discharge and got ring with 1-2 cold damage and I'm wondering if that actually works with EE having such low damage?

If I understand your question correctly, the amount of cold damage shouldn't matter. The point is that if your attack hit only does physical+cold damage, then it will proc EE's reduction to Fire and Lightning resist - the two types your discharge will be doing.

The watcher's eye will shine on the endgame bosses such as elder, shaper, uber elder etc, and yes its extremley noticable, hence the 10-40ex pricetag.

Sorry to be dense, but can you explain a bit further? Is the reasoning because you are still taking a lot of physical damage at that point? IE you can't count on up time of Immortal Call to save you?

Or is it more that those auras, because of their +max res, are so good defensively for a build that is often immune to physical damage (ie shoring up the "weak point), and by extension, the Watcher's Eye jewel is good specifically because the auras are so good (at the phys to elemental conversion just happens to be the best option that exists on Watcher's Eye for those auras)?

I've seen this build for a few leagues and finally decided to try it. how up to date is the leveling section? so far I've just been doing 2H mace sunder. its fine i guess but a little boring. Considering going blade flurry like OP did, its it going to be noticeably worse? whats some good leveling weapons to get me to 66 from 39?

Ya im not sure where you are getting this idea that our immortal call proc will give you prolonged immunity to physical damage. It will proc from time to time and save us from some spike damage but the shaper can still easily 1hit you with a teleport slam or the elder can do the same with his tentacles, or the minotaur guradian can 1hit you etc. IC is nice in the lab and on trash mobs like porcupines but it doesnt just make you immune to physical damage like you are thinking for bosses for long periods.

This builds weakness is physical mitigation, fortify and immortal call are nice but you can still absolutely be 1shot by strong physical damage in end game by shaper/elder/minotaur etc, however you can also laugh at it. The shapers teleport slam does about half of my life with my hp and mitigations whereas other people in the thread still get 1shot by it.

Gotcha. To be clear, I haven't fought shaper or guardians yet, so that's why I needed more perspective on it. I'm running a variation (mentioned earlier in the thread, many mechanics are the same, but using dual Poet's Pens instead), but have only gotten through T12 maps and Uber lab. I did get a nice "Righteous Fire grants 30% increased spell damage" on my scolds from my second run tonight though.

In any case, based on what you've said, I may have invested in the wrong Watcher's Eye, but I guess time will tell what the build is actually up to handling.
