Can I ask why you're using that glove though? I would thought that since we are basically hitting crits every hit, the crit multiplier would really benefit us in the long run.


i have alot of crit multi jewels in my tree didnt want to waste them i guess + on my weapond but im wearing them now

also have this but cant wear it cause i run out of % reserved mana for my aura's

hmm i would use maligaro's though. it's hard for us to get 300% crit multiplier actually. You could get some RMR + ES jewels instead if you change the gloves. You would probably need another 2-3 RMR+ES jewels. I would think that the spell dmg only contributes very little to your overall dmg.

If you're looking to increase dmg, I would do the following changes first.
1) Seems like you might have accidentally taken up a +10 intelligence node near charisma. Not sure if that's intentional.
2) Remove or reduce the levels of clarity gem. I can sustain cyclone and flame dash without clarity so i'm not sure if it's important for you.
3) Look into using a small cluster jewel for pure might. +20 strength and 30% lesser mana reservation for Purity of fire.
4) Last change is to check if you have enough strength to remove split personality after all these changes. Afterwards you can either switch it out with another rare jewel or add in 3 grand spectrum viridian jewels for +135% elemental dmg. I did this and my arc dmg increased by 600k dmg for less than 30c investment for 3 grand spectrums.

2 questions:

1) Using alpha howl, would equipping level 21 purity gems push my max resist past 90% as level 23 gems are +5% max resist?

2) With Wrath, Hatred and Zealotry on prism guardian and a level 21 blood magic gem on discipline and clarity I only have 13 life unreserved before clarity and even at level 1 clarity needs more resource than 13. What am I doing wrong?

Having your profile set to private is the first problem.

Resists are capped at 90%

my max life is only 1303 (with 13 unreserved) i'm guessing i need to increase it to give me at least 41 unreserved life, but was hoping there was another way as i'm playing a game of find the dexterity with my belt and boots :)

@gfellows: you are missing quite a bit of mana reserve: 6% on amulet + 4% near charisma + possible Champion of the Cause anoint if you pathed to charisma. Without all that and no mana reserve enchant on the helm, your discipline is just going to cost too much with blood magic.

I would maybe use purity of fire (since you have might cluster) with blood magic and switch discipline to a normal 3 aura + enlighten setup

The original guide is not particularly current and the general opinion on here is the crit version is superior. Just look at people tree and gear on this thread, it's going to give you massive clues.

As it's already been said, your amulet is terrible for this build and you have the wrong anoint. You need to path to charisma and anointing champion with a rmr amulet. Or at the very least try and squeeze some rmr in somewhere else, good luck with that excluding possibly conquerors efficiency.

Not enough rmr = a problem.

I'd definitely do more than keep jsuslak313'S advice in mind if I were you, its good advice.

added lightning damage to spells, cast speed, zealotry / hatred / wrath are good.

Discipline is ok but you'll be paying 10ex+ for 100~ ES

grant aura corrupts are the best but they are really expensive

Increased aura effect and added lightning damage to spells and attacks are a huge waste of money and the benefits they provide far outweigh the cost. Getting actual auras on Cotb is nice, but its so expensive that its not something to worry about until you are much deeper into the build.

Your money is much better off spent on (well, buying 20% catalyst CotB) buying +2 projectile or duration implicit chest, +2 aoe/aura shield, getting vitality/mana reserve neck (which might enable you to switch back to Bated Breath for more ES and no longer require x2 small cluster jewels with mana res which eat up 3 skill points each!) and a spell crit or max frenzy charge implicit maligaro's gloves.

You should also socket your haste in your helmet for +2 levels.
