I am suffering badly from mana issues with this build. Also I’m level 67 with a Callinellus Malleus yet my earthquake damage is like... 3k and I’ve followed the skill tree on the front page to a T. Also... what IS the max black in Poe? I know I can google that info but it would be cool if it was in the main post, like target statistic caps to shoot for in the build.

Also is there a definitive “best” skill. I’m currently using a Vaal earthquake gem

Did you take the mana leech node from the duelist area yet? Solves all issue.

You can instead use a mana leech item like romira's banquet or slitherpinch, etc, unless you convert all damage to elemental with your support gems in which case you need the mana leech nodes from the skill tree.

Max block is 75 for both attack and spell, unless you have anvil amulet, then it is 78. We get 75 attack block and 60 or so spell block in current game version.

On the mana leach node, I did. Maybe my defenses are so bad that mind over matter is costing me all my mana too quickly? Can you click my name and see my gear and tree like I can?

So, looking at the skill tree, and trying to make a Scion. Would you recommend the Inquisitor passive and Gladiator, perhaps?

The main downside I see is that you lose two jewel slots and a +6% life (or no jewel slots and around +20% life) in exchange for extra life regen, and you trade the ES regen and the Consecrated Ground Lingers effects of Pious Path for a block chance increase and a chance to blind enemies from Gladiator. But you get pants.

Or would another passive work better than Gladiator?

You are SSF which is the hardest as far as gear. So don't expect too much :) If you can find a better shield with 30 block that would help, and lose those jewel sockets (no point for SSF) and maybe a 5 life node or MoM and get command of steel asap. If you need to remove MoM, it's OK. You'll still have life leech, you'll be fine. For damage, don't expect too much from a 4-link, but you could try concentrated effect which works well with tectonic slam. Eventually a 5-link chest should drop for you. Keep at it, there are some doable gains to be had.
