Hello, I've been using this build since league start and I plan to continue with this until the end of the season. Problem is i'm still having problems with some bosses and getting 1 shot. Anyone who could help me with my items/build? Thank you

Get a crown of the inward eye, Tranfiguration of mind is insane.
And get quality on your gems, where Enki indicates he wants quality. (and on belt/ring/ammy)

Hi Guys.

This is my first season in PoE and I am using this build.

However I am struggling a lot in T14+ maps to kill some mobs (with projectiles) and bosses/champions. I tried Sirius one time and I could not manage to survive.

I am having a lot of mana issues and one shot kills.

I do not know how to solve it.

Could you please check my character and give me some tips how to solve this problems?

I am really loving this build and I would like to me able to play endgame content.

Your characters aren't set to public. Also Sirus is a fight you'll have to learn a bit. Don't give up if you fail the first time! Consider removing watchstones before you do the fight, to make it easier. (I.e. drop the awakening level)

Can someone look at my character? Expert opinion has always been helpful. I think that I don't have enough health, but My mana pool seems enough. I don't know what should I do about gears. If you guys don't mind, can u give recommend?

Just to provide more info, I’m dying at every other ultimatum in T12-T14 maps even though I think I’m moving around enough. No crazy mods on those maps so am doing ok with anything outside ultimatum. Resists all capped, chaos resist 0%

Some obvious upgrades I will get once I have enough currency / time, but would appreciate if anyone can point out what else I’m missing out on and what needs to be prioritised:
- quality on amulet
- 70% mana regen on boots
- upgrade my ring
- quality / alternate quality on some gems but not sure which to go for first

Thanks!

Mana regen enchant is the highest priority.
For gems: fix your main stuff first: Get any awakened gems you want first, since they'll take a while to lvl. And arcane cloak is the next most important spell I'd say, so get whatever quality you want on that. The rest is less important.
Probably better to get gear you're satisfied with for the end game and then look for gems again.

What you havent addressed yet are the belt and shield:
Belt with mana recovery rate is really good for the build, but kinda expensive. (At least a good stygian vise with that is.)
A shield with mana recovered on block, and maybe with the sap implicit as well.
Personally I'd say shoot for a wand with 150+ mana and good spell damage.
Get a good enchant on your helmet.

Any advice how to upgrade this build for endgame?

Buy a lvl21 arc. Since yours is corrupted lvl19 it won't do. :P Difference between lvl20 and 21 is huge for arc.
The flat lightning damage on your wand doesn't do too much. Try to get one with more mana and similar stats otherwise.
Get a stygian vise with increased mana recovery rate. One of the best upgrade imo.
Don't use lavianga's, please. Or rather take a look at the flasks enki recommends, it's pretty useful to follow that.
Get recover mana on block on your/a shield.

Really highend items are stuff like this, but those are gonna be really hard to craft:

Sorry... I just changed the settings. It is public now. Could you please check it again?

Regarding the awakening level, I will try next time. Thank you for this tip!

Is it worth taking Clarity out for the Clear Mind Jewel?

A Hall of Grandmasters dropped in the last map I ran. Is my build ready for it?

No. Clarity offers way more sustain. And it allows us to run a clarity watcher's eye.

One shot kills will happen from time to time still, that's kinda the build.
But try to get a cloak of defiance, it'll help a lot with both sustain and tankiness.
Get a crown of the inward eye.
Get mana regen enchant on your boots.
Try to get a wand with 150+ mana and like 80%+ spell damage. You could use shrieking/deafening essence of woe if you want to craft it yourself.
I'd suggest a Healthy mind jewel, and if you don't like that, at least replace the assassin's haste with a rare jewel with life+mana (and something like increased lightning damage or mana regen rate orso)
There might be some affordable leather belts or stygian vise with similar rolls to your current belt. Especially a good stygian vise is nice to have for another jewel slot.
Get a Watcher's eye with increased mana recovery rate or the MoM effect while affected by clarity.

That should give you some stuff to work on :P.
CoD, Crown and mana regen boots are the most important imo.

Thank you Dreagation! Very helpful!

I don't know much about HotG but looking at your character there are A LOT of improvements to be made:

1) BOOTS - the only good thing about them are life and mana, everything else is either useless or horrible. They don't even have movement speed. I would switch out those boots asap and try getting a mana regen enchant on them.
2) RIGHTEOUS FIRE - You seem to be running Vitality instead. Is it because you cannot sustain RF yet? If you can't sustain RF then you definitely need to take a look at your mana regeneration.
3) RINGS - They are mediocre OK-ish but definitely need improvement. Try switching out your Vermillion ring for a Cerulean and your second ring should be an Essence Worm with preferably a level 21 Wrath in it.

4) FLASKS - For some odd reason you have 2 mana flasks. With the correct setup you shouldn't need 2. Refer to this guide's flask section on what flasks and which prefixes/suffixes to use.

There are various other smaller tweaks here and there but I'm not going to list them. Over and all I suggest going through Enki's guide as thoroughly as possible. It even has a Upgrade order section. If you follow that you'll do wonders!
