Generally it's HP + ES, but for this build you take MoM and EB which complicates things. There's a calculator in the guide.

If we take just MoM, at this case is HP + mana ?

and i need to know another thing, with MoM 30% of the damage taken is taken by mana but if we take EB that convert mana to energy shield, the 30% of damage is take by energie shield ?

Correct. EB essentially 'protects' our MoM, allowing us to use the talent while reserving the majority of our mana.

question-why do i need the atziri's step for? we dont need evasion only on armor? shouldnt we go for es on boots?

You certainly don't need them, but they offer a lot of very solid defensive stats. If you don't need the resists and you're not going to spring for something crazy expensive like onslaught boots I don't think a couple hundred ES counterbalances the evasion and spell dodge on Atziri's.

Levelling up this build ... early days but Bane is a good step up. This is my first char this league (broke my thumb and couldn't play!), and it's going well with literally no levelling gear available.

Anyway ... On the 1st levelling tree ... I don't see why we take 3 DEX nodes (down past the claw and projectile damage wheels) to get towards Acrobatics, when we can take 3 DEX nodes horizontally past Revenge of the hunted (that we want later anyway).

If we go the horizontal path it saves respec'ing points later. Or am I missing something?

There's a specific section in the 1st Post called "Skill-gems & Setups".

The gems are bunched into groups in the written guide, eg. Contagion has 6 gems which would go in a 6-link chest piece (or 5-link if you don't enough currency), etc.

I'm currently using (slightly different setup) the following for an example:

Dumb post, sorry
