Devouring diadem and reserve mana help - Animate weapon build

Using this build https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2780128

I have come a fair way with the animate weapon build and its working well, just a problem with devouring diadem.

I'm a noob and didn't understand what eldritch battery did, I assumed I would be able to have another aura but I still don't have mana, is there something simple I can fix to have Haste up as well or another better use, I don't want to waste the currency I put into getting it, but atm all it is doing for me is removing my shield, do I need to recolour slots or take some new passives?

Get a Hatred or Haste 30% reserve efficiency enchant on the helm (doesn't matter which aura). Remove your Portal gem and link your Haste with lvl 4 Enlighten. Hit at least 1 more reserve efficiency node on the tree. That should leave you with just enough room to reserve everything you're wanting to reserve, and all you lose is Portal and 1 passive point. (You could try to move other stuff around and attempt to keep Portal, but it's up to you if that's worth the effort to sort out. You could also try to get more reserve passives and the mastery, but not sure if that would be enough without the enchant as well).

Reading is pretty important. Go to your tree and read what Eldritch Battery does.

As for that helmet and mana reservation:

-Devouring Diadem has two relevant effects. The first one is directly increasing the mana reservation effiency of socketed skills. The second is indirect, +1 socketed gems allows you to throw in an Enlighten which will further improve the mana reservation efficency of any linked gems. Enlighten is pretty expensive, but its something to consider for later.

-If you want to use Haste as well, then take a look at your tree. You skipped both mana reservation efficiency nodes (8% x 2) leading to Sovereignty and the mastery providing an additional 15% mana reservation efficiency. Taking both these small nodes and the mastery will allow you to run another 50% aura such as haste and have 72 unreserved mana. I haven't played Animate Weapon, but generally speaking, Haste is mediocre unless you are scaling aura effect and you would probably get more mileage out of Determination. Your build is really squishy at the moment.

I thought you could only get a max of 15% reserve efficiency enchantment on helms in the Lab?

Am I missing something?

Maybe uberlab?
