I just picked up Mastermind of Discord and am using my three heralds. I have more mana unreserved now. Am i supposed to be using an aura or is there something I am missing?

you want a big chunk of unreserved mana for when you grab mind over matter. it's great for survivability

How many DMG ill lose, if take Brightback + Esh instead of rares?

its about 30% dps loss for me with brightbeak and zeel shield, but it will depend entirely on your current weapons

crazy, any way to avoid being out of mana for few seconds and simply dying because of mind of matter ?

Any time I run out of blade vortex even for a second, I die cause I can't do shit ( stunned, grounded, out of mana )

you should be fine with warlords mark running, i haven't had any issues. try to have at least 500mana or so, you might need to unlink herald or ice

Im maybe missing dmg, still ony 4l and no inpulsa

How do i keep power charges up??? do i have to cast orb of storms all the time to keep them up? why timer not resetting like with frenzy charges when killing? sorry its been a while since i played

pls help

Okay I hope someone can help me out here. I got a 5 link inpulsa and I checked the FAQ section which states "5L Inpulsa's is better as long as you've got the Beacon of Ruin ascendancy. 5L setup: BV - Hypothermia - Controlled Destruction - Physical To Lightning - Increased Critical Strikes"

I tried this but holy crap. Without spell echo it's so damn slow! So now I wonder what gem would be best to swap out of those 5 for spell echo instead. Anyone got any tips?

Edit: I just read in the guide that spell echo is not even needed anymore. So how do you get the blades spinning fast enough? I must be missing something...

Power charges aren't necessary against trash mobs on maps, you shouldn't even really be putting down Orb of Storms during regular mapping, maybe against the Architects/Essence mobs that have high hp. You use orb of storms against bosses and you have to place it next to the boss since it's linked to pcoc, the orb of storms needs to hit the boss for you to gain a power charge.

Don't worry about maintaining power charges during mapping, or even bosses in my opinion. It's the arcane surge activation that really matters with Orb of Storms.

This is what I do for bosses (up to t15 and have had no issue).

1. Have a vaal blade vortex ready for the boss.
2. Enter the boss room.
3. Get to 10 stacks of bv.
4. Drop down orb of storms to activate arcane surge.
5. Whirling blade into boss (activate fortify).
6. Drop your vaal blade vortex and pop all your utility flasks.
7. Boss dead.

For most bosses you really don't need to be constantly reapplying orb of storms, if you follow the guide and do it right most bosses die before they get the chance to do anything.

Of course guardians/shaper/elder is an entirely different story :)
