currently leveling this. build is fun, I can live with the fact that I'm still squishy as fuck because I am wearing leveling uniques.

however, manacost is enormous, even though I have still 2 elreon jewelery equipped. how do you handle the high mana cost in endgame? is it only the .2% leech boot enchant later on or is there something else?

You can find some Mana Regen mod on your shield or ring. Or you can use Reduced Mana for the 6th link. By doing so you probably won't notice any "lost" in DPS because 5-link is already overkill for most scenario, but you will gain substantial QoL improvement if mana management is an issue for you. Besides, using a proper mana pot (see the Gear Section for details) helps a lot.

Vaal clarity is nice too.

Amazing build , really fun and a lot of mobility.
Just have a few questions

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/thorgal2/characters - My profile

What is a pretty big upgrade that is worth doing at this point ?
Should i get a shield with around 35-50% spell damage ?
Should I just dual wield Doryani's scepter ?
Should I get other jewels ?

I want to push my dmg as much as I possibly can :D

Thank you

Hello there, I tried following your build, but my damage is still not enough i think, i am also very squishy, now, i know i don't have 12k ES, i still have to work on that, but about the damage, can i somehow improve it through my gear/gem setup? I have managed to kill the minotaur and the hydra, but regarding the phoenix, he's hp drops very very slowly... :(
here's my build : https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/victorious91/characters
thank you

Umm about the ascendancy, which one to take? theres no ascendancy named Conflux in Witch tree, nor Profileration one... can anyone write me which ones to take pl0z?

That note on the Pendulum lol

Congrats on hitting 40/40!

Played this as my main starter this league, got 36 challenges within 5 weeks and have been chillin' since then. My gear at the moment:



My tree:



Have over 12k ES with this. Very fun and tanky build :D Haven't tried Shaper, though I think I'd die because of skill :P

Best item for the build is a + Curse Eye of Chayula. Expensive but worth it! It allows me to run two Elreon rings. The stats aren't anything special but with 2x -7 it makes mana a non-issue, on top of allowing me to easily overcap resistance.

Have Concentrated Effect in for swapping, could replace it with Vaal Lightning Trap of course but lazy.

+1! <3

Thanks for the write up and info! I am gonna give this setup a whirl for Legacy league with some friends who are first timers. Glad to see some positive results taking this into a fresh league too! I will be keeping an eye out for any updates when 2.6 notes pop up.

I have one other "veteran" that will start at launch time with me in Legacy. We want to go nuts on launch and zoom through to mapping.

When would you suggest a pause on questing to take care of ascendency? Pretty much immediately when it is available and you are at level? Or maybe come back once you are a few levels above for some izario faceroll and less chance of accidently dying and having to start it over?

I'm in no way an expert on this game (I'm actually quite bad at it) but deleting Izaro is crazy easy with this build.
I managed to delete Izaro easily as soon as I unlocked the Lab without any problem whatsoever with a 4L.
Just make sure to have your resistances capped and carry some defensive flasks. While he's coming up just place your Decoy Totem and dodge his first attack.
The rest is a breeze.
