Anyone willing to take a look at my build and help a newcomer figure out why I don't have enough mana with 2 heralds, one zealatory and a clarity lvl 5?

I mean, I have like 200 mana left, but I cast 2 arcs and one brand and I need to wait a couple of seconds before I can cast another arc...

Any suggestions to improve (either build or items) are greatly appreciated. I do have some currency left, just not sure where to go.

P.S. While my profile is public, here's my PoB (browser edition): https://pob.party/share/uikosenisekami

Get the Uber Lab boot enchantment that gives you 70% increased mana regen and level up your Clarity to the point where you have about 150-160 mana remaining. Make sure you're constantly keeping Arcane Surge up. If you're still having issues, you can get a Watcher's Eye that increases mana recovery rate while affected by Clarity.

The ULab enchant is pretty hard to get :(

I tried what you suggested, but so far the only solution was to give up Arcane surge. Add Enlighten (3) to the 3 auras and have clarity (lvl 7) instead of A.surge

I'm feeling stuck.


I'm playing this build ssf. And i don't how to improve further without brutal grind. The damage is fine i think for now but I'm feeeling squishy with 4,3k health and 950 ES.

Hello Guys. This is my first league and mys first char ever in this game. I love this build so far and it got me hooked on the game.

Atm I did reach a wall I cannot seem to pass. I m stuck at Drox Awakener lvl 4 and can't beat him. Tried already 2 times each time using all 6 portals. I get him down to like 25% life and the fight becomes impossible and after sometime I die from to many adds and stuff. My damage feels very low, The golems seem to get 1 shot.

The survivability feels also low at times but that is something I am used to from other games playing glass cannons and I can at least compensate trough mechanics a bit.
I spend all my currency on a new staff that I replaced Agnerod(now in second slot)withl, that doesn't seem to give me the boost I expected. I don t feel it and I can t see it in POB tho I am maybe to much of a noob and dont use the program correctly. I don t even know how to make it to show my Glorious Vanity jewel.

Can someone have a look please at my gear and POB and tell me what I'm doing wrong and what shall I do.

Thanks in advance

For drox:
1: Watch this video and learn all 5/6 attacks he does
www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TmjBQMdsqk&t=17s
2: Make sure your pantheon is on the one that regens flasks
3: Turn down all music and effect so you can clearly hear what drox is saying, he announces all his attacks about 2-3 seconds before he does them so you have plenty of time to react. The main attack to avoid at all costs is "slam glove" at 2:20, but its an easy flame dash to avoid.
4: Kill flags first, top priority. (they make enemies close to immune or immune to damage)
5: Fight drox in corner so you only have to worry about 2 flags
6: Unsocket watchstones to reduce your awakener level if you want to make him easier (at least until you get the hang of the fight).
7: Try to position yourself so you are killing spawned ads and your arc is chaining to drox, or visa versa.

My damage felt low when I first started trying drox, especially in the second phase when he has his shield up but i think its more of an endurance fight.

Your gear looks fine especially for awakener level 4. I cant see your timeless nodes, I wonder what that 1 passive point is (where normally would be 5% ES, 3% Life) is it better than "lightning walker" 25% increased lightning damage 5% cast speed, 15 lightning res, which is only 1 point away?

Few quick things:
1: Go back to the guide and read and double check it (for the best prefixes and affixes to try to get)
2: Try get prodigal projection annointment its a huge damage boost
3: Bless orb items to improve the implicit rolls
4: If at item hasnt got at least 50 health (or i cant craft it) i probably wouldnt use it except in extreme cases.
5: Your chest is not great but I appreciate finding a 6link in SSF must be a pain. I have had quite a few 6 links drop from div cards. Maybe you could try farming those?
6: Dont forget to catalyst your rings and amulets

Is it something to do with your gem setup?
If you use empower, I think the suggestion was to replace "added lightning damage" but you have replaced Energy leech support. I think other people before were having problems with empower when they kept added lightning damage in. I dont know if they solve it or not. Look back in this thread a little see if you can see it.

Thanks for your input. Both are 130% mana multiplier skills. I don't see why would this change affect the mana consumption.
And yes, since Arc gets to level 26, I'd rather use Empower and I prefer more the Added lightning damage cause I have a level 21 one :)

@Zeeul

Thx for your Answer man. I appreciate a lot. I took a second look at my passives after you pointed that out and refunded that point into lightning walker. That was there as I tried to get to the main Node that would give me under the influence 20% more chaos resist. I renounced as the 3 points in between are not worth it and forgot that one. I'm still trying to get more chaos res. atm only 7% but idk. where without losing smth. else

I am just suggesting to try and swap es leech for added lightning damage, to test it and just try to identify exactly where the problem is.

I got arc to 27-28 without empower so far. I tried an recommended empower setup, to me it didnt feel all that different, so I stuck with the original setup.

If you want to try and do your own arc setup some other things to try:
- You can get -5 to mana cost of skills (or something like that) on rings? and other stuff, some people claim thats more effective than mana regen.
- The first node you take on the skill tree (there is an alternative path where the first node is 25% mana regen and some 14? energy shield )
- You can get mana regen on jewels, or reduced cost of spells i forget.
- You should be able to craft +40% mana regen on amulet, and both rings (unveiled recipe i think)

good luck

I am still a newbie - started around a month ago and crafting still is very confusing to me. Is there any way to improve this staff other than using exalteds or getting the can have multiple crafted mods recipe? I believe the 3 mods are all prefixes.

Side question, to get the recipe for multiple mods it requires doing 4 different prophecy chains and are 5 prophecies long each to get access to the Pale Court...is that correct?
