Tempest Shield Support

So I have room for just one support gem besides reduced mana for my tempest shield and I am wondering which will give me the most survivability.

I have 73% chance to block and 75% spell block, so whatever support I pick will be proccing frequently.

I am looking at blind, knockback, and mana leech (My character is EB/MoM).

So anyone have an idea on which wull be most effective?

well blind will hurt its dps.
iron will improves damage for no manacost change.
knockback might be funny but has similar "problems" as blind.
either leech gems is nice but depends how much damage is actually being dealt.

might be other supports.

The dps isn't of consequence. I am doing 60k with incinerate. I am only looking from a defensive perspective.

just dont support it

add some vaal gem, i recommend vaal molten shell

I already run vaal grace. I am thinking I will try mana leech for the extra small boost as I don't run that on my 6 link..

Echo? Dunno if that works :P Or what´s with culling? Power charge on crit when you´re doing some crit build?

Mana leech alone on TempestShield seems so wasted even for a mom build

I'd probably run blind. It won't increase the cost of the skill, and things like crit don't seem important (so no PCoC).

If you had two slots you could add curse on hit + ele weakness/enfeeble or something.

Mana leech is a possiblity, but I'm inclined to believe blind will be more helpful (unless you already use the blind + flame totem combo)

Considering your build, I would go Mana Leech. Blind Chance is just too low.

But... does echo work now with tempest shield or not? xD

I didnt test, but it is supposed to not work since you don't cast Tempest Shield when it procs
