How is mana regen using those auras? My POB only has 187 mana left and I was planning using Clarity and Vitality since I use Vortex on left click I need the mana regen badly.

I'm playing SSF so have limited fusing orbs and am generally a slow player.

Should I assume this will be my end-game armour and try to 6-link it?

Its a good start for sure. Get it to 6 sockets and 5link - 6link it.


Keep and eye for a Crusader Vaal Regalia is has good mods and the Maven Orb is OP


Maven Orb outcome
1 to Level of Socketed Intelligence Gems
12% increased Intelligence

Thanks for the reply - it's reassuring, because I think with my other gear this will let me transition to CI with 6k ES. (Since it's SSF, I'm planning on staying CI, unless I get really lucky.)

Sweet, thanks for the tip, gonna try it out tommorow, I got hidden down relatively painlessly but failed twice on feared so far. How did you manage flasks and Vaal CS in that fight? I personally used them to burst down Atziri when she came up because she seemed like the most rippy one but it might also depend on composition/order when they come out.

I had issues with Maven invitations applying a Chaos DOT called Spatial Decay. If you are LL, Spatial Decay (https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Decay) causes you to still "take damage" even if you are max chaos res and are regenerating ES. Because of this, your ES recharge does not kick in. If you have this debuff on you, then you must run around for 10 seconds until the debuff expires before your ES recharge kicks in. I couldn't clear Maven's Invitation The Hidden (breachlords) and The Feared (Cortex, Chayula, Uber Atziri, Shaper, Elder).

I worked out that I could get some ES leech on the tree, speccing out of Wicked Ward, going in to Zealots Oath + Ghost Reaver, run high level Vitality, sacrifice your 6 link Vortex by swapping Swift Affliction for Creeping Frost and then spamming Creeping Frost. The initial hit of your spells will leech ES. For my build, it is about 1.5k - 2k ES leech which blast through most degens. Here is my PoB: https://pastebin.com/jrmfpVQu

There are tons of ways to do this. I tried just doing Creeping Frost in the helm instead of Cold Snap but I missed the Vaal Cold Snap. I tried Vaal Cold Snap in the chest with Creeping Frost still in the helm and wasn't getting big chills. It was all still very viable though. You could even try using a completely different skill. Just giving everyone ideas if you had the same issues I did. I cleared The Hidden and the Feared.

Yeah order definitely matters. I for me, here is how I rank them in terms of scariness from easiest to hardest, keeping in mind they are all deadly:

Chayula: Pretty easy to avoid the chaos bolts if you can fight the other boss(es) on the other side of the arena.

Cortex (synthete): This one can be rough depending on how many void zones get placed on the ground. However most of it's attacks can be easily avoided.

Shaper: Shaper doing shaper things. It gets hard in combination with Elder and everyone else but mostly avoidable. The hard part is making sure you kite his void balls away properly because shaper ground degen combined with Cortex ground degen is very bad.

Atziri: She does a ton of arena wide damage that can one shot. Very hard to avoid and also very hard to get in to attack. Try to prioritize her if Elder is not already out.

Elder: The worst. All the slows, his arena wide explosion confining you to a small area when dealing with all the other bosses? This should be the #1 kill ASAP if Elder is out on the field.
