How do u manage to keep 4-6 auras active?

He mentioned that he is using the Blood Magic unique helm to split them between mana/health.

I am considering going Eldritch Battery instead. But stuns could become a pain.

ATM at lvl 65 i've got 3 auras on the run (vitality, wrath, discipline) - that breaks me down to ~200 mana and without mana-regeneration from hell it's hard to able to do more than place totem and cast a curse 2-3 times.
I thought about going for blood magic, but (without massive +hp-gear) I am at 1700 hp (900 energy shield) and sometimes I got one- or twoshottet by chargers/teleporters/snipers/casters.

Hope I got some more hp and can do 1 or 2 auras more then.

Btw.: Where to lvl up to 7x? Dock-runs?

Can anybody give me a thorough explanation why it's better to go for life boost instead of energy shield with chaos inoc? thanks in advance!

First, the ability to use instaheal on low life flasks - with CI you need to wait some time before regen kicks in, which might get you killed in some situations where with instaheal flasks you would have lived.

Secondly, stun chance based on the actual amount of HP you would have had if you hadn't taken CI.

That would mean that pretty much anything will stun you all the time, making getting out of the fight to regen ES even more difficult.

All that said, summoner is still one of the best chars to use ES because he can use zombies as meatshield as needed.

Quill rain is good till around lvl 10 its how i lvl most of my new characters. From there use firetraps, fireball, firestorm any spell that has good base damage.

I have the 4 mana reservation nodes, plus reduced mana gem in a 4L
That way I run 3 x 40% auras in the mana pool (vitality purity haste)
Also have a 3L prism guardian plus another reduced mana gem to run discipline and a low level clarity

Mana left is enough for curses and totems. I dont cast any spell myself

Has anyone tried to work in dual totems into this build?
