So, after 2 weeks i have:

Gear

Still don`t use Eldritch Battery. I want to swap shield to armour/es shield, get 3 blue 1 green boots, and swap curse setup + enlighten, from mace to boots. Use Conversion Trap setup in shield for extra damage boost on map boss or some hard moments during map. Bomb Specialist in ascendancy + 12 mines give 96% boost. It gives around +230 damage to fire nova mine.

Tree+stats

Clarity aura on corrupted belt, +1 curse get from corrupted Shaper's Seed, Zealot's Oath from Geofri's Sanctuary.

87-lvl tree:

All this setup give me this stats:


With active aura-curses i have 250 mana, that is enough to use Fire Nova Mine 3 times, with that mana regeneration rate. With enlighten + aura-curses it will be even more comfortable. Have no problems with damage or mana, but have some with surviveability, i hope shield boost on 100-lvl tree will fix it. Chaos damage especially hurt. Don`t try any bosses or T10+ yet.

Plans for 100-lvl tree:

Interesting build , I like your armour synergies between helmet and belt.But I am not sure if I am a fan of your passive tree. You are investing really many points in ES. Your shield is 1.8k with that amount of ES nodes. I think it's not really worth it. I have 1.6k ES atm without a single pure ES note. You just need a chest with 600+ ES and you could safe so many points.

Oh yeah and try to get the "Fire Nova Mines repeat an additional 2 times" Enchantment on your helmet or buy another helmet, it helps sooo much.

Hey buddy, been enjoying the build a lot so far, it's cost me pretty much 0 currency, and it's been more than effective in fast clears. I have one question though. On PoE.Trade, a helmet with that enchant will run you pretty much upwards of ~125C, so, how should I approach even getting that specific enchant? Grind it out till really late and try to get 2ex and buy, or do lab, and if so, any recommendations as to what is the fatest farming method?

Hi, glad you enjoy my build. Don't start farming lab for it unless you wanted to run uberlab anyways for profit. It's just not worth it, chances are too small. I would just write anyone selling this helmet and tell them that nobody is playing fnm anyways and if they can oofer you a bro deal. Offer like 60c or something. I got mine last league by offering someone 12c who actually wanted 35c.

About a farming method. If you play Softcore i would really do the unid chaos recipe. Just farming low maps really fast and do the 2 chaos recipe. Most yellow items are worthless anyways especially at this point in the league.

Thanks for the speedy reply, bud! Ok, so I'm gonna try haggling people now; also, another quick question: why do you get armor rather than ES, and/or evasion? Any reason in particular?

Most people will tell you that those 3-4k armour you can get on your gear is useless. I think it was often necessary to not get one shot. Since we play a life build and don't have 10k+ life we have to be careful to not get one shot. Phys damage can one shot you pretty fast, I felt way safer with some armour + fortify + (if necessary) granite of iron skin. Evasion doesn't solve that problem. ES is ok as long as you don't have Eldritch Battery.

Worth going CI?

I dont think so. I am not a fan of ES without leech. You would have to get out of fight to replenish your shield, which can be super annoying.

When spamming novas for boss do you place 3 and detonate and repeat or place 3 detonate then place 1 and detonate and spam both

place 3 detonate place 1 detonate while already placing another one and detonate

Hey bud, me again, just wanted to know what you think of my char's set up, especially the belt? The plan is to switch out the boots a little later so I can run dual curse like you do.
