Go back to A1 and buy as many copies of Animate Weapon as you can fit in off-.

Lilly sells the gem, too ;)

( Oriath, everywhere you find her ;) )

But, y, i level 5 in offhand, too.

When done ( = level 20 ) i take one, quality to 20 ( need to check if quality does give benefit on this gem first, though ) and then vaal and hope for level 21. If not, next gem ;)

It's a small thing, but the reason to buy the gems in A1 is they'll be leveled (between 11-14 or so) and if you get them from Lilly the gems will be L1. Saves a little time.

I looked at your setup, and you don't have Tireless wheel yet for reduced mana cost. Also swapping Ele Damage with Attacks support instead of Multistrike will reduce skill cost. It's little stuff like that which makes it work. Also getting added mana on gear here and there.

Take extra -reservation nodes near Sovereignty if you are having troubles

i mean i cant activate both at the same time (to much mana reserved) are we supposed to have them both active?

What? How do you manage to reserve 100% mana with one 35% reservation skill and one 50% reservation skill? Do you have them linked to supports?

i had skitterbots linked to summon phantasm and minion damage apparantly.

derp..

now i can have them both lol

:D

good it worked out ( as these both do make no sense at all linked to skitterbots - if you use cold version of this build link bonechill instead to the skitterbots )

^Tried this build out as a starter. Worked quite well, though I think recasting the blades feels really clunky. My main problem is probably that I am used to be able to do all content with my starters on a budget in the past.

So this surely is a great build. But I can't kill Guardians in blue maps (zana missions) with it, as the blades die and respawing them takes so much time and effort that I get killed. All in all it's a very frustrating experien, sadly.

My blades die quickly while doing higher content. That combined with the clunkyness of the spell itself (resummoning them) is my biggest issue I guess. I wish skellies would still have that damage. Time to reroll. But no idea into what.
