Already being done with +1 Lioneyes, definitely not dropping CoE for any reason - it's still 170% increased damage which mirror gear which shits on any ele dmg nodes.

Not sayin' we should drop CoE (madness!) but the +1 gem boot slot is now your BM RM bit to get the 2 auras on to life successfully.

So need another +1 gem slot for Empowering - and I don't think there is room as the mana currently works out anyways. (so I'll probably be using my original planned setup on the +1 Acuitys rather than Empowering auras in them)

Which is kinda AIDS - from what my DPS calculations showed, we are gunna need to Empower.

Maybe just focus on core - BM Disci and Hatred, Empower Anger and Wrath

Gl Vaaling them Acuities now for the second +1 rofl

I tried this setup
with 37% reserve to emulate the post patch values and could not use both auras from my life pool.
Will we be able to reserve 2 auras with 38%?

Yh, that could work - level 22 Anger and Wrath without a second +1

I would use anger/disc from boots
then I would run hatred/wrath/empower in helm.

No point in Empowering Hatred.

So when the patch hits, make this pair RRGB through the new trainer recipe, then dump Hatred/disc/blood magic in them.
Then I will need a RRRB crown and problem solved
(After doing this you will notice a ~10k dps loss but you still have your same 5 auras).

We'll see, that would be 24 Anger and Wrath, dunno yet - this patch is proving fiddly =)

I'm missing something from your plan here.

Your boot 4l (+1 gems) - RM/BM + Hatred + Discipline.

Your helm 4l - RM/Empower + Wrath + Anger


So for the 5th aura you need another 2l somewhere for RM + 5th aura. (whether it's Haste, Grace w/e)


I didn't do the math myself but I was told that with the lower reduction that no longer fits on mana with the Empower multiplier in there. (certainly not with a useable mana pool left over)



The matter came up because we investigated using a 2nd +1 gems slot to get both the lvl22 BM gem needed for putting 2 auras on life, and still Empower 2 auras to level 26.

(specifically recoloured ofc if it were for auras use)
