Ok, yea, wow! I switched over my skill tree and picked up the +ES on hit Watchers eye and I went from struggling in T5s to doing T13s without dying. Very much appreciate the reply, I really wanted this build to work and it feels great. If you have the time, what was I missing, like what made the big difference or was it a culmination of little things? |

" Spirit Offering scales off of base life. That is, your life total before the %Increases. The way %of max life as extra ES works is we take the 15% for SO buff of the base life and then apply the increases to both Life AND ES% to that number. IE: In the new tree I gave you you have 1568 base life at level 79, with 150% increased life and 199% increased energy shield. So we get 235.2 increased by 349% for an extra 1056 ES gained and recovered. Before you were recovering about 900ES. When you take into consideration 183 mana cost and taking 4x that as damage (732 damage) your SO recovery is boosted by almost 75%. Netting you 350 ES per cast instead of 200 ES per cast. This is why it's important to get all your life+ES nodes first before worrying about the Crit nodes as much. Oh but in all seriousness, it's the ES on hit watcher's Eye and bigger eHP pool. That combined with some life leech and you'll be pretty hard to kill outside of 1-shots. Last edited by Gryphenprey#0653 on Oct 14, 2019, 8:14:26 PM

Hey guys been following this guide the past week or so.. i'm now finished the acts and out into maps.. just moved over to my 7 link chest piece (which i've borrowed from my Vortex/VCS trickster) and got all the gemlinks working. Still feel a bit squishy but i'm not sure where i need to go next in terms of equipment upgrades. Loving the build btw... Last edited by Targwyn#5874 on Oct 15, 2019, 10:24:02 PM

" Watcher's Eye with ES on Hit while affected by Discipline if you can afford it. Rare amulet with Life+ES and Fire leech Rare Crystal or Stygian Vise belt with Life+ES+Res Eventually replace RStrides with rare boots. They are perfectly fine though. Since you have rare chest with 7L you COULD use 1H+Shield if you wanted to. Good weapon would probably be really expensive though and most likely less damage than Martyr but you can get great defenses from a shield. |
|
" I have the ES on Hit with Discipline watchers eye already (ive been following your VCS/Vortex trickster build from last league) but im not currently running discipline on this build.. will have to try and fit it in somewhere i guess.. Will hit up poe trade to see what i can get in an amulet and belt now :) |
|
" If having trouble fitting it you can drop Herald of Ash for now. Damage should be fine regardless, better to have that extra layer of defense. |
|
" Yeah i'll try that i think... This is the watcher's eye i had so the extra block should help as well. |
|
" yeah that's pretty nice! |

Threw around 2.3 ex of alts trying to get arcane surge AND double damage, didnt hit it, isnt any other way do get it more easilly ?
|

" Not really. You can try to buy one that has the two mods already and annul down to those mods but that's also quite expensive. I would try crafting on non-6L bases and sell ones that I hit that are good for other builds. IE: Power Charge on Crit Support or Cast While Channeling with double damage will sell for at least an exalt as a blue item. I also regal whenever I hit these mods with a bad suffix in case I hit something good on the regal. Regals are cheap. +3 to all Lightning/Cold/Fire gems with good second mod is also very good for selling. But yeah it's a pain to make it either way. But you can offset costs if you know what to look for. |
