Thank you again.

Where did you find the Marylene's with +1 curse for 200c?

I'm always looking at poetrade. Is there another way/store to look for items (sorry for the noob question)?


This is the link for it: http://poe.trade/search/itamahihiresen

Unfortunately, at this time it seems like no one is selling. I know last week before publishing this guide, there were at least 10 for sale. Try using the "Live mode" feature on that site to grab one as soon as it comes on sale. Alternatively, you can use the Trade section of these forums to find one.

In the meantime, you can just use a Doedre's Damning (http://poe.trade/search/tokinoowomohom). Best of luck!

Phoenix down, loving the build. Still can't wrap my head around my mana issues, it's really hard to tell but I'm positive dark pact stalls out every 8-10ish casts and I'll hear the mana voice or see the skill flicker. I've double checked everything and our skill trees are almost identical and I have all the mana related nodes fasho.

My mana is at 1097 but my regen is 38.4. According to pob yours is 1010 and regen 50.4. Equipping a +40% increased mana regen amulet to test, my regen bumps up to 46.1. Yet you only have +24% regen on one of your rings and -3% mana cost on a jewel... which idk doesn't make sense. Is that really the tipping point for our auras or do you also occasionally find yourself mana depleted?

Sorry if this sounds nitpicky but I love herald of ice for the shatters and aoe which is dope af with culling strike. I'll see if I can fit mana regen somewhere but I may have to replace HoI with a vaal aura\lightning trap (blegh).

Nice homage to Final Fantasy there.

Dark Pact will stutter every now and then, but it's okay. Things that affect your mana regeneration are levels (gives flat mana), jewels, gear, passives, and buffs. Your base mana regeneration is 1.75% of your maximum mana pool per second. I'm assuming you aren't wearing The Broken Crown? The only thing I can think of is the passive tree. Do a double check - use the search function of the PoB skill tree and search for "mana". Perhaps, port your character onto PoB with your skill tree and mana related gear. It may be more difficult since you aren't on PC, but it might help us find the root cause.

If you do deactivate Herald of Ice, you may as well remove Enlighten Support as well. At least until we figure out what mana regeneration problem is.

Vaal Lightning Trap can be good on bosses, but I don't use it because most bosses don't like to stand still, and since you need souls, it doesn't help against Izaro or Shaper. But it does help against Minotaur and Atziri. For more damage, you can skill in Rallying Cry (ironically, this gives you mana regeneration too).

You can also have a permanent Flame Dash or Portal for quality of life.

For general mapping, you could do level 1 CWDT + level 3 Immortal Call.

What do you think that would be better? Carcass or Cherrubim's?

Carcass Jack as AoE range and elemental damage resistance advantage.

Cherrubim's Maleficence has damage, life, and physical damage mitigation advantage (but twice as expensive as Carcass Jack).

Carcass Jack's increased AoE range can help with faster mapping and with bosses that move around a lot like Hydra. But overall, I think Cherrubim's Maleficence would be better, but it is only better by a small margin. If range is a problem, you can always add on Increased Area of Effect Support.

Do note that Cherrubim's Maleficence is expensive because it is hard to get the 5B-1G color on a Str/Dex armor. They cost upwards of 12ex. If you are trying to craft one yourself, the Vorici trick may help (link). Edit: Seems like you already got a colored Cherrubim. Nice!

I did not use an essence on my gloves because all the decent essence crafts take a suffix slot (as seen here: http://poeaffix.net/gl-es.html), and we need our suffix slots for more resistances. If you are okay with your resistances, you can try for more offense by crafting Loathing for more critical strike chance, or Insanity for faster Wither stacks if you put your Wither Totem on your gloves.

I don't have more than 1,100 mana. I only have 1,010 mana, and 80 unreserved mana.

Hideout DPS with flasks and buffs


Very nice gear. You should be able to clear most content with that. I'm using your current Brightbeak setup to farm/level. You can level your Increased Duration Support gem to level 20; it isn't affected by CWDT level requirement.

Quadruple checked the skill tree I have everything you have at lvl 93 +1 5% life node compared to your pob. I do not have the mana regen nodes next to shaper you have in the lvl 100 plot (assuming you don't actually have it either). Mana regen is now at 40 after leveling...

My only uniques are the ones listed in the guide so that's not it. Paid 4ex for lvl 3 23 quality corrupted enlightenment support with 92% mana multiplier so I don't think (and hope) that's not it. Gems arent 20/20 yet but that shouldn't be it.

You know what I'm not really used to being stunned since I took off koams, maybe I'm overreacting to that + the occasional mana depletion. Pantheon helps and my stun recover is 74 so not too bad. Harbinger also buffs mana regen to 63 occasionally.

More testing required.
