Fromthe guide:
We keep it at Level 1 to stay safe from physical reflect.

Hi may I know which is better: 5L Cloak of Defiance or 6L rare body armour with high hp, mana and resistance?

Look at the "Upgrade Order" section of the guide. We use all three uniques.

Is bastion of elements worth it?

Which pantheons are actually the most effective for the build when fully stacked? Is Brine king really worth it over Lunaris and is Shakari worth it over
Gruthkul?

Also seconded on Bastion of Element's, is it worth it over Heart of destruction? Does area of effect apply to arc? trading 30 percent ele damage for big survivability doesn't sound bad

Brine King is mandatory because of your low life, even more relevant if you use healthy mind jewel (which you should). Since you have so little actual life, you'll get stunned all the time from hits, so Brine King prevents you from being stunlocked on higher maps.

And yes, IMO Bastion of Elements is way better than Heart of Destruction for Arc.
Its a 3k hp shield for elemental damage that refreshes every 3~4 seconds, a MUCH needed layer of defenses for an already squishy character.

Besides, you get that sweet immunity from reflected elemental, so you can run more map mods.

Finally bought 6L Cloak!
Wondering what I should save up for next, and where I should go in my skill tree. Maybe the mana nodes to the right of Shaper?

Build is still a lot of fun. I haven't gone above T9 maps yet though, but enjoying what I am doing. I did beat Atrizi though.

is 15% crit chance enough at this stage? or is that somewhere I should try to improve

Hi. Im new at POE. Im using this build. Could someone tell me what I need to change at first at my character? I have 8EX for now. I add my character at my profile. Im not playing much, so if someone could just tell me which items and minimum stats for them, it will be usefull :D
Or maybe someone have some build worth around 8-10EX can show me which items he has?

Thank you for this. I'd hit a wall at 88 due to gear/currency in league. The change to Bastion of Elements has made a significant difference in survivability without a huge sacrifice on damage.

Much appreciated :)

I've been away from the game for many years, and recently came back. I decided to try this build, and it's been really great!

I hit a big roadbump when I acquired a 6L chest because the cost for casting jumped up (about 1k for each cast with my current build).

I couldn't even use the 6L and was constantly running out of mana.
From there, I was trying everything I could to get the oils needed for the mind drinker anointment, but couldn't get the last teal oil.

By chance, I found out that you can sell lower level oils to get a higher one, and the ratio is pretty low. From what I had read previously, I was under the impression the trade was 10:1 or 5:1, but it turned out to be only 3:1!

You 100% should sell 3 verdant oils to get a teal oil for the Mind drinker anointment if you're having mana problems during maps.

Seriously, I tried both Arc and ball lightning, in the end I found that ball lightning was performed better on boss killing and survivability. But I still need to thanks Enki for the guide, it helps a lot :-)

I would like to share my PoB to those who are interest (The dps is incorrect, I can take minotaur down in 7 seconds)
