Is it smart using magics "Herald of Thunder" and "Discipline" that limit my usable mana to 25% with skill "Mind over matter" ??

No :)

If you go for MoM, make sure your unreserved mana is about 30% of your lifepool.
Incoming dmg will be split and 30% will be directed towards your manapool.

Which means you´ll run out of mana more often than usual and that might get you killed, if you get hit hard and you want to get away by using a skill like Flame Dash.


If you just want to use it to bolster your effective life while leveling, thats fine though.
But if its meant to be an integral part of your defense, you have to invest into mana regen as well as balancing your total lifepool vs unreserved manapool.

Hello and welcome to PoE. For new players it is extremely helpful to watch Engineering Eternity's video series for new PoE players:

Engineering Eternity: Beginner's Guide Series

For the Labyrynth you should watch:

Path of Exile: The Labyrinth Guide

Also a good source of PoE information for new players is:

The Twilight Strand

+1 for sticky for all the new players coming to General Discussion.

I'm somewhat new too and play witch/arc in the ssf league. I'd suggest "Enki's Arc Witch" guide, you'll find most of your questions answered in that thread.

I agree this should be stickyed

Thanks people, I did listen to your advice and i refunded some points, reforged armor and had luck to find a gem that gives +55 cast speed to arc.. I am now much better and faster and cast speed gives me more % for crit which gives me Elemental Overload... feel free to take a look on my skill tree, I am now very proud of my build (y)

Slowly I am starting to understand the game more and more

Joshua is learning... excellent!
