Hi Mathil,

Would appreciate your two cents on my build so far. It seems to clear well but my survivability is lacking loads.
- Resists 75/62/75
- Life 2800
- Evasion: 4000
- Acrobatics / Ondar's / Phase Acro
- Running Herald of Ice because I do not have Mana For Anger
- Herald of Ash is there for just gem leveling. (I could put HoT on Red Mana)
- I've got close to 190 Mana unreserved



Gear




Why not remove Phase acrobatics and Acrobatics, that gives you 5points
Maybe put them in the life notes where Cruel preparation is plus the mana point to the right of those notes.
Guess you should be able to run anger - 1 herald or maybe Anger - Wrath with reduced mana.
plus you would get ress and 20% life.
Im not Mathil but maybe it helps abit :p

The dexterity node under Quickness is not needed, so saved you a point ^^.

Why not the damage nodes in the wand circle left of EB? If not then maybe Heartseeker or Vaal Pact?

Woops posted wrong tree, it looks like this my current one

Im thinking taking the Throatseeker notes - or go Vaal pact but thats 10 point away.
Could allso go for mana/life notes but HoA doesnt seem that attrative atm.

Just wanted to say, absolutely loving this build! Level 59ish right now and looking forward to what's left to come.

For new players (like me), I found Freezing Pulse a great skill to work with until you can get Kinetic Blast running at 24. The projectile and elemental nodes were a huge help and the transition was pretty smooth.

I have a few questions for more experienced players, however.

I'm struggling with 3 areas right now:
-Survivability (3-4 hits is enough to kill me)
-Low Single Target damage (Power siphon isn't winning me over)
-Mana issues.

Staying ranged and getting enough run speed to out-pace enemies is a help for 1, but what kind of defense should I be looking for on gear?

Any way to boost single target damage? What're the best gems for Power Siphon to make it a beast? Should I be trying Barrage instead?

For mana, I pretty much HAD to take Mind Drinker, or find 2% mana leech on my gear, which was prohibitive while leveling. Is there another source of mana regen I'm missing? Without some kind of leech, I'm chugging potions like crazy.
power siphon you probably want weapon elemental damage and increased critical damage

Here's the build I went with in Bloodlines, currently level 82 with 4.6k hp, 6.5k tooltip on kinetic blast (with power charges) and capped resistances.

my build




Gear






Was running with a 4L until level 80, I can't really sustain kinetic blast without mana leech, probably not gonna grab reduced mana nodes because I don't think I will run anger. Currently only running Wrath, herald of ice and herald of thunder. with the 4L i just drop increased critical damage.

Clear speed is excellent (dem 66 maps) might throw a vid up later.

Heading towards phase acro for now and also have a 5L lightning coil ready for use but will need to change gear a bit. Think I have a few damage nodes I can pick up too later on. my wand really needs an upgrade, was looking for a piscators but don't want to pay 3exalt for one.

my shitty wand


Dayman.
What's your math on the auras? I don't think you're gonna have enough free mana to play confortably:

(12% tree + alphas) * reduced mana lvl 20 * (2 auras + 1 herald) + 12% tree * reduced mana lvl 20 * herald of thunder
(0.88 - 0.08) * 0.71 * (60 + 60 + 25) + 0.88 * 0.71 * 0.25 = 97,98% reserved => 2,02% free

On a 2K mana pool, that's 40 free mana. Am I missing anything?

Picking another reservation node makes it a little more feasible, but i'm asking since you didn't mention it as part of the plan.

(0.84 - 0.08) * 0.71 * (60 + 60 + 25) + 0.84 * 0.71 * 0.25 = 93,152% reserved => 6,848% free (136 on a 2k mana pool)

Thanks, I was doing my own KB build and I changed some stuff towards this build, liking it so far. About to dump some regrets to reach VP.
