Might be a stupid question, but would you recommend getting a Headhunter if I can afford it?

" Your sceptre doesn't have spell cascade mod, so you won't create enough corpses with desecrate. Until you can find a spell cascade weapon, you might need to use the spell cascade gem linked to desecrate. Getting Kitava's Teachings and mana regeneration enchant on boots would also help. You can change the anointment on your amulet to Mana Flows since Mind Drinker doesn't provide mana recovery during boss fights. If you want a boost in single target dps, there are two things that comes to my mind: 1. Increase your spell critical chance through passive tree/jewels/gear. Currently you have 6%. That's too low to reliably proc Elemental Overload. You can pay attention to your active buffs while mapping and see its uptime. Eventually, with sufficient critical chance you can use controlled destruction instead of chain to further boost dps. But EO has priority. 2. Once you have enough mana regeneration, you can turn on righteous fire. It's another massive dps boost. Just be careful of map mods like -maximum player resistance or players are cursed with elemental weakness. Also, if you cannot sustain it(meaning you're actually losing mana), don't run the map with it on! You might feel bad losing conductivity in trigger wand. It does hurt your dps a bit. If you really want to use it, find a ring with curse conductivity on hit, or remove some existent gems to make room for it. | |
" As a belt it is not best choice in this build, and you need to balance your resistance for it. However it is fun choice and worth a try, you can anyway resell it if not interested. Personally I would recommend a try, I'm also saving money for one at end of this league. BTW, in standard it is more expensive. Last edited by billybob630 on Nov 26, 2020, 12:02:11 PM

Besides %MoM, which secondary mod on a Watcher's Eye will benefit me the most?
10-15% Lightning Penetration 10-15% Mana Recovery Rate PoB: https://pastebin.com/TQ4haYLT Last edited by supremej on Nov 26, 2020, 3:23:46 PM

" That's a question that interests me too. |
|

Can someone please look at my build to see where i'm going wrong?
I can only cast arc 4-5 times before I'm out of mana & my regen time just isnt keeping up. I was having this problem before taking Agnostic but now its even worse - i have to spam my mana potion & heists are just impossible as the pack density kills me too quickly once my mana is gone. Please bear in mind SSF! | |

What do you guys think about https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Pledge_of_Hands or https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Cloak_of_Defiance
Are they worthwhile considering for this build? Was suggested to look into them :) | |
" Instant glaring issues (aside from uniques since you're SSF) is that you have barely any mana regeneration rate rolled on any pieces. Doing that is definitely a huge help for mana sustain. You also don't have Trigger Socketed Spell on your wand to make your desecrate setup automatic. You can also work on rolling your shield with fossils to get the #% mana gained on block for more mana sustain using Lucent Fossils. SSF does make this a lot harder though as Atziri's Foible and Crown of the Inward Eye are super important for this build for sustain. " If you are having mana sustainment issues, go for a Watcher's Eye that gives the Mana Recovery Rate. If you aren't having sustain issues, always go for the lightning pen for more damage. " PoH is a lot harder to use with this build since we're using a Trigger Socketed Spell setup in our wand. The skill tree is also focused around if we are holding a shield, so you would have to change some things up to make PoH work. Cloak of Defiance is a huge boon for the build though. Arguably BiS at a relatively affordable price right now (5.5ex or so). I should specify though that Cloak of Defiance is better for single target as it can't roll explode modifier. For example I use this as my chest piece with explode and damage taken from mana, but Cloak of Defiance still would boost my damage in comparison to single target. The downside of using Cloak is that it's mapping is SLIGHTLY slower because of the no explode mod. Last edited by Uragami on Nov 27, 2020, 3:37:25 PM

" Ive added 77% mana regen (swapped enchant on amulet & rolled new shield), still problem persists to a degree. Am I better off getting rid of Agnostic? Also I'm finding that i very rarely use desecrate due to my unique boots creating corpses anyway, is this still something I should be using? Last edited by Ploppy100 on Nov 28, 2020, 12:49:39 AM
