Aaaah, okay, you have to put fertile catalysts, mana quality upgrades, on your rings. Then you will get enough not reserved mana. In the spoiler gear and then spoiler circle of nostalgia and mana reservations are all reduced manareservation notes for the build. Charisma on the amulet is great too, but there you can afford with two circle-rings another anointment.

I will take a look how 2 circle-rings work. Very interesting. Perhaps with different high dex-high ES -gloves a very nice possibility too to get place for an aul's uprising later.

:-)

And I edited another possibility with frostblink above because there are not many gem-slots. The build works until lvl 98 very fine with low and medium currency and you can vary a lot of skills, support, gear and passives, but then it is getting difficult to optimize a bit more for lvl 99 and 100.

Vatinas made a very, very good purity-spider-guide with very good explanations.
From his guide I took a lot of the gear setup too, in the end of my guide is a hommage for his so interesting guide.

You need only the fitting purity-circle-of-guilt-ring to try.
Also ballightning to summon purityheralds works, when there are unique monsters. For maximizing the build you need right sockets and perhaps cyclone and some more changed details.
I think the large and medium clusters are better than the normal tree and with poe-ninja-build you find a lot examples. Pure Agony-clusters adds only the 20% increased damage to the purity-sentinels.

Sometimes you get a white-socketed skin of loyals cheap to try a lot of builds.

Since the glancing-blows nerf melee-mana-guardian-builds are a bit less tanky as before.
Even when the purity-heralds are great minions, I think the agonyherald is clearing faster, has much more damage-uptimes, is more effective/ better ai, unkillable and easier to summon and you can attack both melee and ranged with the agony-setup.

Oh, when you don't use watcher eye with clarity mod, you don't need clarity and can use a different gem. Clarity is only for use with Watcher eye increasing energy shield as # max mana.

Hey Franny,

oy, very good! With bodyarmour, iron reflexes I think for defense that is best and also gloves with enfeeble make you very tanky on maps.

Your setup with Predator is perfect! For single target best! Hope you have enough mana.

When you don't have enough mana (for all auras determination, discipline, grace) I would try:

HoA - Empower (only 125% mana and best) - Pierce - awakened minion damage - Summon phantasms (blue, for mapping very good. Only 120% mana. When there are 6 or 7 phantasms up, they do more damage than other supports! But, contra, by some bosses they die quick in aoe.) awakened vicious projectiles or vile toxins 120% green for max damage, but slow on mapping, vicious projectiles don't support phantasms, vile toxins do support (when I remember correct...).

Try all combinations, they have all some plus and contra. Minion speed blue 130 % supports both phantasms and HoA, but offers not much for HoA with 40-50 stacks, he has a lot of attackspeed.

With 2 rings perhaps it will fit. Annoint your amulett with Charisma (opalescent, golden, golden: blight oils) for 10 % reduced mana! Put fertile catalysts on your second ring!

Perhaps try on medium clusters reduced mana reservations for determination (cluster "uncompromising"), grace (cluster "sublime form", discipline(cluster "self-control"): There are notes for each aura 30% reduced mana and you can stack them, and take one pure agony less or take 5 points to "Discord Artisan". Or perhaps you are lucky and get a helmet enchant with reduced mana for one of the auras or herald. When only 5 mana points are misssing, try ballightning with faster casting and without gmp for a bit need of less mana or take one passivepoint +20/ 10% mana mana next to "mystic bulwark" or take 2, 3 point for +30 dex each and an aul uprising. There are a lot of different ways, but grace and determination with iron reflex is worth some points or a bit less damage... There is a possibility in PoB to calculate the reserved mana on gear, passives and skills.



BUT: I think this is best and also only way for 3 big auras and herald combined: because the 3 auras take so much mana reserved, try with the setup of my build: one socketed ring for one more gemslots, high dex, es, mana and perhaps strength/ all attributes and only one circle of nostalgia and aul's uprising amulett: grace reserves no mana instead of astramentis, annointed with charisma too! When you are missing dex or strength, take catalysts for increased attributs or one + 30 dex or + 30 strength note until you get a better ring. when you are missing 1 or 2 levels of some gems/ support gemsit is no problem first, but you need HoA max gem level of course for damage: 159 dex.
