Hi guys. Really enjoying the build and was able to do Awakened 8 Sirius deathless with ease, however, I feel as Im lacking some heavy DPS (compared to video). Can you kindly suggest if anything obvious seems out of place?:

The vid is using concentrated support instead of increased aoe which is around a 30% dps boost.
Bottled faith flask also adds aton of dps if ur not using that.

Thank you SoulRus, will try with concentrated support. Im using bottled faith, missing the watchers eye with zealotry and clarity though (only have around 20 ex atm).

is this good for the build?

Im not 100% but I believe the 100% increased buff effect for herald of ice is better then the extra % damage. I was using that for awhile before switching to a cast speed ES ring.

What catalysts should I be using?

Arcane surge at a level where we get it every cast. what do you mean by that?

Level of arcane surge determines how much mana you have to spend to get it

Line it up with frostbolt mana cost

Since I was already at 10k ES and 42k Armour without the clarity watcheyes I decided to go a diffrent direction. Good damage roll. I confirmed with the boot enchant i can support the mana fine. The sustain is bananas and since i can run a low level precision on mana and dont need the clarity gem it also gives flask sustain.



Edit: One quick update after another test. I dont think I am ever gonna die again. Can facetank shaper beams off the ES on hit and I can stand in darkness and let mobs hit me and my ES doesnt start going down until 200+ darkness stacks ant depth 238.

What gem to change for Awakened Added Cold Damage Support?
