Arctic armour is pretty insane if you can get the mana regen to leave it permanently on. Voidbearers and titty bitches do 0 damage, including GMP, chain, extra damage, vulnerability, etc. and single physical reflect does nothing, even without endurance charges. With 5 endurance charges up, double reflect doesn't hurt very much either. I guess it's not an advantage over someone without it who plays cautiously, but it's very noticable to me compared with playing without it.

I only have 13k armour, since I'm using a Rathpith (7k dps and extra mana with EB), but that'll go up with better gear. Health is at 4.7k and I'm playing path of life nodes from 85 to 96. Died at 86 on my last EKer to something AA would have prevented, so I'm giving it a go. Still trying to build up a 70+ base, so I can move up to higher maps permanently (highest I've done with this character is like 72). Maybe damage scaling in the higher maps will reveal some deficiencies in my build (like the fact that I can't really go Kaom's).


Thanks for sharing Ziggy. Arctic Armor sounds dope. Could you share your build with me?

If you can't get a lot of mana regen on gear, you can probably make it up in passives at the expense of life. Or you can get more hybrid ES gear than I have.


Mana regen/ES/int for level 19 AA (I was using 20 with inner force and a Vaal Regalia, but swapped to an armour chest) and 2 40%, 1 30%, 3 flat auras (with Alpha's):

Im doing a very similar concept to Ziggy except I'm an EK ranger.

Passives (lvl79):

Current Stats (79)

4.7k HP,
12K armour
lvl 20 arctic armour (still levelling but I have the regen to run it)
230 mana regen/s
4 endurance charges (5 in 1 lvl)
3k dps EK (no quality gems yet)
Running 2 40% auras, 1 30% aura and 3 flat auras using alphas howl.

I am in onslaught hoping to get up to the end game maps. so far so good (up to 72 maps so far).
My EK gems are all lvl 18 right now and they are non q. I was wondering if I got them all to 20 with 20% I would have similar dps to you guys (5k-6k).

Those last two levels for EK do make a pretty huge difference, and the quality bonuses on all the supports are pretty insane. So maxing those out will definitely help your dps get there. I use haste when I'm not doing ele weakness maps, rather than purity, so that improves my damage quite a bit too.

Exactly. EK dips goes up dramatically when you 20%/20 level your Faster Casting, EK, and Faster Projectiles.

Np, LegendsofToot.
The chance to Vaal +1% maximum resists on an amulet is less than 1/300.

I am curious as to how the Empower Gem might affect EK.

So EK can get to level 25 with a +1 staff, and a level 3 Empower....wow!

Hey Mastercard, respeccing my EA mara for a different build with more party utility and came across your guide. Was wondering if my lvl 74 mara would be a viable candidate for EK. Also, is this build updated for the current version?
