I'm working on optimizing my jewels for this build using Aegis Aurora. I already have max block, so what should the jewel stat priority be.

My guess was:
1. Spell block
2. Crit
3. Increased damage
4. Attack speed

There are some big elemental res nodes pretty close by on the route that might be pretty useful (like Diamond Skin in the marauder area) instead of some DPS nodes (like crit multiplier maybe). Would you advise to go for some of these nodes on hardcore, or is it overkill to get more res on the tree? Is it easier to just gear for it?

Granite flask is better if you are concerned about physical hits. I think 90% mitigation for physical is enough. Worry about spells instead.

ITS NOT BAD TO HAVE IT. AT LEAST YYOU CAN REGRET IT AFTER U MAX IT BY GEAR!
U GOT HELM, GLOVES, BELT, CHEST AND 1 RING TO MAX THEM (NOT HARD AT ALL)

Hey Sovyn, thanks for the amazing guide and build!

I've been playing Tempest, and while I've been playing PoE on and off since closed beta and I was finally able to progress past act1 Cruel with this build.

Now, I've been wondering some things though:

Then, if I want to boost survivability on the tree, should I look for more life? Or maybe Inc Armor, Evasion, Shield Defenses?

How would one worry about spells effectively? Max resist is obvious, high spell block, resist flasks, high hp, build hybrid armor/es with aegis aurora = invincible???

Did I miss anything obvious?

I'd say go for more life nodes. Like the circle close to scion. I think the life nodes to the left of templar is worth getting. And with GG jewels you can get some really nice one with like 7% hp and chaos resist, block and stuff.

Bulaka pretty much said it, life is the only thing on the tree I haven't already overkilled IMO. Block is a replacement for life in many situations but not every single one. My tree has a good balance for damage and defenses but if you feel more comfortable with more life you can settle for less block or lower damage (stay with RT at high level for example and skip the crit and accuracy nodes).
