Just wondering what experiences people are having with using this build for glacier farming?
With my usual end-game guy, I've just been using a Bisco's Collar for MF and replacing some life nodes with AOE/damage nodes and it's been working really well so far. However, my main problem is that I am pretty much never able to insta-pop legion spawns. I get 90% of them fine with the initial cast, but there always seems to be 2-3 random pockets of mobs that somehow dodge my ED chain entirely and I have to spend the majority of the 10 second timer dashing around finding them.
My ED tooltip DPS is around 475k and I'm using level 1 contagion to avoid contagion killing mobs prematurely. I'm not sure if ED/contagion is meant to be able to insta-pop mobs like those Ice Nova builds or if I'm lacking something. I've tried to stack as much AOE as I can without gimping my other stats, but am wondering if I need to start using something like a Dying Sun.
The thing people don't realize is that ED/contagion has a set range that it can advance away from you. T2 shouldn't be difficult to pop, and it isn't.
There is adequate density and mobs are close enough together and they SHOULD pop but i realized it was because I was just too far away. Move closer to the side that you think is longer from the center and then work around the edge really fast and finish off the remaining ones.
Maybe 1/20 are poppable instantly from the center based on the layout, but it does get easier once they get released because they gravitate closer to you making a 1 shot easier.

Hi guys -- I apologize for the vague question -- I am loving the build, but I'm finding myself er.. lacking in damage, as well as survivability (I randomly died in t6 maps today just.. instantly, 3 times).
The main issue is the time I have to play -- are there any obvious upgrades I'm just too blind to notice that are relatively cheap?
I think the character is public.
Edit: I've not done uber lab solely because I've not found all the trials yet, as note.
Edit 2: It should be EDSellia

The other thing is you still have to check both ends for generals anyway. I usually move toward one side before they spawn to quickly check for a general there and then run to the opposite side to finish off anything that didn't pop.

I also uses Acrobat/Phase Acrobat and by far the most dangerous map mod is Your Dodge Chance is Unlucky, is like losing half your dodge and spell dodge. I stopped running unid t14+ maps because of this mod.

You need to chase after your ED/Contagion since it will "fizzle" if they are too far from your character. It's pretty hard to instant pop regardless since Monolith is in the center of the spawns; if you can start from an edge you would be able to chase after it and pop the entire map

You can get a good multi-modded bow for less than 6.5ex I got mine for 4ex, I just had to keep looking.
Multicrafting cost 2EX and +2 to support gems cost 2 EX. So yes, you got it extremely cheap; the seller is probably desperate to make some currency to fuel another spec, considering he's actually selling it at a loss, based on how much he spent to get his +1 gem bow base.

Si I am playing this build in Hardcore. Im up too act 9 (Lvl 67) pretty easily but my gear isnt great. Lol. Im still using 2 Lifesprig....lol.
So my question is what should I target first? I plan on using Atziri's Splendor for my Body Armor but no idea what I should target for the rest of my gear.
Any help is appreciated.

I've got a question regarding MoM : why do we have to scale the mana to a certain percentage of the HP/eHP? My understanding is that if someone hits me for 6k damage, 2k will be drained from my mana pool and 4k from my ES/HP, so it doesn't really matter what my max ES/HP is, I'll still take 4k+whatever hasn't been absorbed by my mana pool as I sure don't have 2k.
Moreover, I'm guessing it doesn't count reserved mana? Seeing as I have 240 mana (and calculator says I should have 500ish for me to properly use MoM), I feel like 500 mana is such a little buffer, on top of probably giving me trouble using spells seeing as I'd probably be often drained to zero.
I know I'm wrong but I'd really like to understand the reasoning.
An additional question is : does % increased damage and % increased chaos damage apply to non-ailment chaos DOT?
Thanks :)
