Okay the question i have atm is weather or not using Le Heup of All Iron ring as well as Doryani's Invitation Belt would be good choices. They both still give res and a nice damage boost as well. Atm at lvl 74 I am using both while only using the resist form Helm/boots/gloves/chest to put me at well over the cap. Just wondering if these are feasible for later parts of the game?

@foelyn: I'll add one at a later point.

@RocTheShok: We need our unreserved mana pool for Mind over Matter to be effective, and Herald of Thunder wouldn't add enough benefit to justify its mana reservation for us.

@volosi_nazad: Since you took Mind over Matter already, reserving 50% of your mana pool isn't very good for the little gain Haste gives. You'd get a bigger benefit from movement speed on your boots and switching out your gloves, which have a -15% cast speed penalty.

Think of penetration like this:
Let's say your skill deals 10000 damage on hit, and you have 40% lightning penetration.
Against an enemy with 0% Lightning Resistance this would result in 10000 x (1 + 0.4) = 14000 damage,
in this case it's just a straight up 40% more multiplier and probably on par with other choices.

Now if the enemy has 75% Lightning Resistance, it's 10000 x (1 - 0.75 + 0.4) = 6500 damage, which makes it extremely effective in this case - a hit without penetration would lose 75% of its damage here.

@Bhaladas: The approach looks like a decent start, would definitely switch out Valako's Sign with Call of the Brotherhood to deal both lightning and cold damage. Alternatively you could go with Three Dragons, would lose the ability to shock unless you use Vinktars or Ylfebans Trickery, but has better chances to freeze stuff and is easier to scale.

Let me know what you think about these ideas and what you wanna go with, then we can work out a tree.

@shaegaming: Unfortunately your character tab is private. I've improved the mapping section about bosses, can possibly give you some ideas about boss strategies in the meantime.

@kyoshinrei: As tsunny already wrote, we need all the life we can get in endgame, otherwise those uniques would be ok.

@svcv: Unless you only want to talk shit without any real substance, make your character tab public and we can work on the problem.

@Xenhil: While using Empower that's true, until that point you got Life Leech. However, it's highly recommended to go with Kitava's Thirst, and from what i can tell by now most seem to do that before going for a leveled Empower, which automates the whole leech process.
On top of that comes the life gained on block while using Bone Offering, which is also huge.

Vaal Pact is unfortunately too far away to reasonably path to.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Shortened the guide a bit to be able to add a little more stuff, did some small fixes to the leveling and gear section and expanded the mapping section with more details about bossfights.
