I solved my other question, but have a new one.

I'm able to cast Hatred, skitterbots, flesh and stone and HoAG, but have 0 mana left. >.<
If I get the 3rd grand spectrum cobalt jewel, will that give me enough to be able to cast ball lightning? Or will I need to find mana elsewhere (like more on my resistance ring for example)?

I tried calcing it in PoB myself but honestly I just can't tell.

There's my build if that helps at all.

(I also have a healthy mind jewel and a tempered spirit jewel with 1% mana reserve corrupt on them, currently in stash since I can't run all 4 of those auras with any mana left over, so I switched back to clarity instead of flesh and stone :L)

If you have exactly 0% mana left and no clarity or precision then grand spectrum won’t save you. You need more Reduce mana - every point in the tree, charisma anoint, perfect 40% Circle of Nost ring with 20 quality fertile catalyst on top, helm enchant with reduce some aura you use, conquerors efficiency, enlighten L4, shapers touch with +1 gems and enlighten socketed in there and more jewels with reduce mana corruption.

Also see my earlier advice on aspect of the spider instead of skitterbots, similar damage and slow but 10% less mana reservation

I actually just realized I didn't have fertile catalysts on my nostalgia, but idk how much of a difference that'd make. (Edit: OH. Yeah uh, it made a difference alright.)


I might try aspect of the spider instead of skitterbots, I actually love that aura.

I just read some of your previous posts and I'm really intrigued about the jade amulet you were/are running.

I can't find one with high enough dex rolls and +1phys or +1dex gems listed, as I'd much rather just straight up buy it. How would you craft the +1phys/+1dex gems onto an amulet yourself? Since this is my first league the whole crafting mechanic makes me feel like a braindead monkey.

I'm thinking buy one that only has the +1 gems prefix, craft prefixes can't be changed, sour and then try to get the dex rolls i need? Alternatively I could just be lazy and wait for one to get posted, but seems like slim odds.

I don't need a FULL explanation on crafting, but if you can point me in the right direction that'd be swell.

Based off my own experiences: If you want one of relevant +1 gems roll, then I think the best way is to alt-spam then regal an ilvl82+ Hunter-influenced Citrine amulet for a +1 gems mod and high-roll dex mod combo. I crafted one earlier in the league and took me around 2ex of alts to get that combo (+1 chaos gems & T1 dex). It wasn't worth multi-modding IMO because the other mod was complete garbage so I leo-slammed it twice hoping for good mods (didn't get any).

However, when I hit 99, I realized that getting the +30 dex node and 'downgrading' to a +1 gems amulet with lower dex rolls and better mana/ES mods was better than getting any leftover mana node that wasn't already skilled into by level 99.

I still have that amulet lying around, willing to sell it at-cost for 2ex if you're interested, even has a free Primal Spirit anoint and +20% attribute quality on it as well.

That's really tempting considering I've already blew 1500alts and only hit chaos gems twice and dex gems once, without any dex rolls.

I wouldn't be able to craft aspect of the spider onto that amulet you have though would I? Kinda had my heart set on getting rid of skitterbots for that.

Eitherway you've already helped more than I could ask for, appreciate it.

Hello guys,

I'm still news with the kind of build "mana reserved" and i have one BIG question to ask on the veteran. Firstly, kinda enjoy the build but a bit slow to mapping. (perhaps missing something).

Currently i have a big problem with my mana reduction/reservation, i have 6% unreserved mana and when i saw all the mana guardian ON POE ninja they have all 0% mana left (~40 mana left) AND they dont Charisma annointed in their neck....

I have done some test, with empower max, more mana, 40% reduced mana of herald (ring buff), change my gems setup on the chest. All this change withtout Charisma on POB and cant even reach the minus % (always have -3% max )

PS : I run with 5 auras because my enchant helmet : 40% reduced mana of herald of Agony.
PS : I had no problem to run T16 map, doing today Sirus 5.

https://pastebin.com/FTcCq2hk Here's my POB.

And my stuff :



Edit : i finally sucess to have 0% mana reserved on POB.... Whell i need lvl 4 enlighten and 2 corrups jewels or a perfecct Notalagia ( i need to change it soon btw)

Yeah unfortunately you'd have to go for the risky annul (40% chance of getting a trash suffix).

Honestly if I thought I might be selling it later, I wouldn't have leo-slammed and risked its resale value it, but hindsight is 20/20.

Haha it's all good man, at least now I know how I can craft one myself, and knowing that I can spec into the +30 dex node really has me interested.

Thanks a lot, absolute legend.

Hello, I am just wondering why we are using ball lightning? I really don't like ball lightning.
