Hello! Thanks alot for the guide! I mean really.. I checked for hours and hours for a guide that could help me as a new player to the game, and your act for act lvling guide was just great. And i have a blast with the arc build.
But now when i got to endgame, i dont know what happened, i changed all the gems and i got 5link pledge nad inpulsa, all the rest is same as guide, but i have extreme mana problems, never had any Before. Dont know why, but i guess its because i got 100% increase mana cost (needed it for kitavas thirst)
but my arc skill COSTs 198 now... and ball lighnting 172, so if i remove it i wont have 100, so its a bit tricky situation, can i somehow just increase my mana cost with 20% instead of the 100% ? And will the skill cost 100 or more when they are MAX lvl? Or will i Always be needing a special mana increase for skills? I hope you understand what im saying hehe.

And i see your final build you play without mana flask, how is that possible? Is spirited response working even when you block the attack/spell?

Can i use mana leech somehow? How and where should i use it?

Thanks again for an awesome guide, and great to see that you are still Active in it.


Your character tab is set to private, so can't be sure, but, try removing the Fevered Mind and check your mana cost to see if you may be able to natively make the desired 100 mana cost per spell for arc.

As you get close to the 6link arc, but not quite having the 100 mana cost, an 100% increase can get expensive and be necessary. High mana regen and/or a Spirited Response jewel can help to compensate.

So unbelievably inane it has to be memorialized.

My character is open for public now, if anyone wanna check Quick, without fevered mind my COSTs are 99 with arc and 86 with ball Lightning, so its not far away.. 1 more lvl on arc and its fine, but ball Lightning i dont know if it will never be 100? I actually got the mana leech enchant on boots now and i did aswell get the spirited response, and it works alot better! But the best would be if i could skip the fevered mind because of the extreme 100% increase which i really dont need, but will ball Lightning get to cost 100 when its max lvl? both gems are lvl 17 at the moment.

@Stricko: Try out a Spirited Response and keep up Rallying Cry, if that doesn't help get some of the mana regen nodes or mana regen on gear.

@Steven_Stone: Would need to look at your char to give a proper answer, but unfortunately your character tab is hidden.

@Dehogyde: Thanks, glad you like it :)

@nkstnkst: Immortal Call has a base duration of 0.4s, Endurance Charges heavily boost this duration but aren't needed for the base duration to work.

I un-hid my character tab! Thanks a ton for responding and helping out!
@Zhorah: You will need a 6L chest to get Ball Lightning to 100+ mana cost without Fevered Mind, with a 5L it would only hit 99 mana cost at most. Since a 6L Inpulsa's is probably out of reach currently, i'd recommend just get another one, 6S it and then just casually try to 6L it with all fuses you get drop.

I'm not actually sure if Spirited Response will do anything on blocked hits, it seems to work but don't count me on it.

Aside from the leech boot enchant, you could also use Warlord's Mark in your Kitava's. This would either require you to drop Conductivity, get an expensive corrupted +1 curse Lazhwar or change the pathing a bit to pick up Whispers of Doom.

@rinseo: Bone Offering applies to us through Mistress of Sacrifice, Desecrate is just for corpses to use the offering if there's none around.

@Steven_Stone: The issue was easy to find - your Ball Lightning is Lv4. Spells get their base damage through their gem level, yours currently only has ~25% of the base damage it would have at Lv17, the same level your Arc currently is. Just check if you can find a cheap Lv19 or even Lv20 Ball Lightning and replace it to fix the problem.

Hey! Thanks for quick reply!

But does these two skills have to be linked in order to work?

Nope, no need to link them together.

Hey Enki91, can you check my character out and see if I'm doing it right? If I understand things right in the maps I need to keep Clarity on. Cast bone offering especially if I'm fighting a tough mob.
Cast orb of storms and rallying cry on especially difficult monsters. Ball Lightning for single target and Arc for mobs. I think I have it under control.

Thanks for the guide really helped me out! :)

Hi there! Just checked through your char, the core looks right but there's a few things to improve.

Easiest one will be flasks - getting a Basalt Flask is really crucial for survival later on.
Try to switch to the flask section in the respective section one by one, and don't forget quality on all flasks.

Gear is also a bit low on life. You should be able to upgrade everything but chest and staff for very cheap, just take a look at the small gear buying guide i've added in gear section.
Only the boots don't necessarily need to be switched, if you have Tora at a high enough level you can just add movement speed and use them until you can afford really good ones with 30% movespeed.

Any thoughts on using Apep's rage and a shield until I can get my hands on a 5-6L Pledge?

The mana consumption with Fevered Mind is really crazy
