Sustaining 5/6 link skills with mana

Wait .... very obvious thing to do here. Swap Flammability and Clarity so you get Reduce Mana on Clarity. Then level up Clarity.

That gives me another 1-2 levels to level clarity up.
It however still doesn't make me reach 170 mana per second, not by a long shot.

A level 8 clarity puts me at 140~ mana per second but also puts me under the low mana treshold permanently.

Running item rarity for now until i figure it out.
Guess i will in the end be stuck with getting another high % regen ring and rainbowstrides or replacing my helm/gloves...

You just need more mana regen gear. You also want to max out clarity, keeping it low level is not an option for an eldritch build. Mana regen will make a huge difference for you when clarity is at max.

It's more than possible. I had a character in nemesis that reached 330 mana regen with 3.5k mana.

Well if you don't wanna drop Vitality in favor of the 1.2% life regen at Scion, getting Sovereignity aura nodes is the best idea imo. More life regen, more max fire resist and ability to run Clarity with increased effect.

EB build without Clarity doesn't make much sense to me.

lol

gotta love the current state of affairs with mana XD

(actually the mana system has pretty much always been shit in this game)

system is not shit, not by a long shot, no

as for the OP:

clarity. sorry, but if you take the most costly self-cast spell in the game you need to foot the bill - clarity in this case is the price.

i run the same/similar Incinerate setup with EB - but without RF and not only i have 5L incinerate i also run high level AA:

gear, nothing special:


tree:

lol

You took EB, AND you took 48% mana on the tree.

If you count the wasted nodes just getting to the mana nodes, I count 14 total skillpoints spent on mana...To run a 5L Incinerate. That's something to be proud of.

Yeah, everything is fine, folks!

Everything is fine. EB has far more benefits than just running your skill. It allows running high level AA, frees up a potential support, allows clarity to stack with other auras better and will potentially let you run MoM.

As for your observation of 14 nodes to get mana, that's a pretty weak observation. Those are not just mana nodes and are quite great for their value. If he removed something like AA he can easily run incinerate with none of those hybrid nodes.

this is MoM build - 4000hp/3300mana with AA. each point into mana -> survivability

understanding of the game in some cases surprises me..

I think it's safe for me to say that you shouldn't need 14 pt expendeture + EB to run a 5L spell.

That's a failing of the mana system.

For AA, sure. Or MoA, sure.

Also, try Fireball or Freezing Pulse 5L instead of incinerate.
