Ah yes forgot the rotten claws thanks
When i deactivate Glancing Blows shows 38% block chance and 36% spell block, is this normal / wrong?

Yes, pob is stil bugged on many clusters and count there zero blocknumbers. Count clusters manually and add in:

bastion of hope 2x10%
Watcher Eye determination 8% attackblock
replica pure talent 2x4%
shield mastery 6% attackblock
mage hunter and conjured wall large cluster 10% spellblock
belt jewel if you want 2%

tempest shield if you want 25-26%

Finally 74% / 75% without stempest shield, hehe!
Arachnophilia!

I am not sure which version of PoB you are using, but in the live normal (not dev version) the 6% shield mastery works, same for determination watcher eye.

I had a whole written out thing about mana reservation in this build, but I accidentally deleted the -20 from Memory Vault right when I started doing my spreadsheet math. Oops. In any case...

Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that you can mix and match reservation efficiency really well without having to anoint Charisma, but you'll need at least one Circle of Nostalgia and one small reservation cluster jewel (probably Discipline), in addition to some other kinds of reservation Efficiency:


A second Circle of Nostalgia or Presage cluster

And

A Determination Efficiency from Armour Mastery or a second Determination Cluster


If you don't have Memory Vault yet, you don't need very much Efficiency at all to run all the auras, which makes this build that much more affordable as you league start.


To give an idea, here are some Efficiency Configurations and the resulting Reservation Efficiency you need on the tree (add 20% if you use Memory Vault):

-Circle of Nostalgia x2 = 80% Efficiency on Herald
-Determination Mastery = 25% efficiency
Resulting Efficiency needed on tree: 36%


-Circle of Nostalgia x1 + Intuitive Leap Presage Cluster = 80% Efficiency on Herald
-Determination Cluster Jewel = 50% Efficiency
Resulting Efficiency needed on tree: 28%


-Circle of Nostalgia x1 = 40% Efficiency on Herald
-Determination Cluster = 50% Efficiency
-Discipline Cluster = 80% Efficiency
Resulting Efficiency needed on tree: 28%

How do you suppose to achieve max block without Glancing Blows?
Meh, Elemental Equilibrium in the bottom part of the tree actually huge nerf. (-12% dps)

Without the blue Nightmare its really hard to cap spell block

Hi Dreadmoore,

full block, no glancing blows, will work like that:



A lot passives like charisma, safeguard, arcane sanctuary are bugged in the pob-developer test in the moment, I corrected and count:

buffed 87k armour, 7.5 k es, only 3.6 k mana, pob says much too much unreserved mana (613, when that is true change mastery or passives or small cluster of course), no healthy mind, no nightmare


1 large cluster conjured wall & magehunter to reach 74% spellblock, with belt-jewel overcapped 76% lol ;-)

60% block, anoint amulet brutal blade or testudo for 66% (or deflection for 65% with some endurance charges), take determination attackblock-mod on watcher's eye for full total 74% attackblock (or clusterpassive or different amulet like anvil etc.) without glancing blows.

replica pure talent used, bastion of hope, shield mastery for attackblock with shield


Still without tempest shield!! Switch in tempest shield for 5-7 free passives! Take for example with tempest shield increased max block of mastery or armour mastery and regret raze and pillage when you need one jewel slot more next to armour mastery. It's also probably possible to change in new buffed Purity of elements for permament ailments-immunities (or 50% evasion without iron reflexes)!

We loose anointed flesh, but get instead arcane sanctuary for ailment avoidances and 100% damagereductions of blockings.

yes, ee is a nerf for the offensive edition "make hatred, not grace". You can craft exposure on triggerwand, then the nerf is only about 6%. But with the big buff of Skin of the lords and awakened gems, total +3-4 gemlevels the build is buffed about 50% and more HoA- damage, when you go for full attack even much more.

Edited
Pathing at top of witch-area will perhaps free 1 passive, I optimize more tomorrow
