Hi bashtart,

thanks for all your answers and great build!

I have the +1 pierce jewel and the Kalisa's grace gloves. Should I still use Pierce support gem? Or maybe Inc. Crit?

Thanks in advance!

I would go with pierce support in spark setup and drop the pierce jewel for a second spark threshold.

Got a question about Dexterity problems that this build is facing in this league.

The guide has Blade Vortex, that requires 155 dex to work, and The perfect form requires 197 dex.

But when looking at path of building, your dex is only at 130, which means you can't use your Blade Vortex or Perfect Form.

I don't know if this has been discussed already in this thread. Since too many messages to read.

But i am having the same problem, i don't have enough dex to run Blade Vortex. I don't see anywhere on the build to explain this anomaly and how to deal with it.

Any reply on this topic would be very helpful, as i don't know how to boost my dex without destroying the build, any other way than through gear. But is that how you did it? And why is it not showing with the pastebin or on the guide?

Thank you for the build, i picked it for this league because always wanted to try a spark build and a build that freezes things.

Hi, when I made this build last saison I was level 97 and had slitly different tree... more or less you get dexteriy from the tree and items. This saison for example I plan to stick with starkonja which alone gives about 60 dex. Well you in my guide and vides I always write get the missing stats with rares and jewels ... so be creative :)

Hello everybody. I decided to make EK Elemental, but then looked at this topic and I really liked the build. How to me at level 53 to remake for this build?

Hi check your gear and tree... I would recommend to just follow the tree from now on and just adapt the few point which a different. Then you should be good.

What is your stance on Mind of the Council Harlequin Mask as a helm? I would think it work quite well with MoM to ensure youre not constantly OOM? Using this as a helm currently - its working quite well to get a pseudo 5L BV without having to swap gem sockets around in chest.

Yeah it kinda is good cheap option early on but later there are just better options. And for the budget version the three dragon mask is kinda necessary when you dont have cotb.

Hey there, first thanks for the guide! So far it's a lot of fun. One challenge though is I'm finding I die a lot at level 51. My gear is pretty crap I know, but so far I haven't gotten enough currency or good drops to help out. Given that, can anyone suggest some lvl51 or so cheap gear improvements that could help me level?

Current Gear:

I would not invest currency... just go to point where you can farm without problems and grind a few level and then go on... after a few levels a bit better gear the leveling and progressing will be much easier. Ah yeah just one thing... change up your flask setup... 5 life flask a wasted.

Im not sure , but Perfect Form have some stats increased dexterity . I guees this is help us . I have another question , how roll on Perfect form 4 Blue and 2 green with Vorici ?

Investing a shitload of currency ;) but maybe it isnokay to stick with impulsa because it just gives so much dmg and clearspeed that we just could invest in other gear part to get more defense. Maybe the cheaper and better option. As longer I play with impulsa the more I enjoy it and kinda don’t wanna miss it. I will have to test a lot to find the final setup for 3.1 but it will take abwhile until I am there :)

Any advice for the later tiers of maps? I'm still getting oneshotted sometimes and yes im running without MoM because I cannot sustain the mana

Well that is strange... how much unreserved mana / life do you have?
I would drop lightpoacher and get a starkonja‘s instead... you might consider vaal clarity as well. I really think mom is kinda necessary... and once you got a working mom setup it is really powerful. I also would use a hybrid mana / life flask with instant heal on low life. In general just concentrate a bit more on defense dmg is normally not the problem with this build.

Around 5k HP and 400 unreserved man, should I go for max mana/mana reg nodes aswell?

Last saison I had about 5k life and 1k unreserved mana. So get the mana nodes behind mom and Dreamer node. Also I would drop HoT and use only arctic armour and HoI. When you increase your mana pool your mana regeneration will automatically also increase.

Hey, enjoying the build so far :) Lvl 90 in Abyss.

Couple quick questions.. the guide says ele reflect is the one obvious map mod that it can't do, but how do you guys run no regen? I usually roll over it, but I just dinged and had a corrupted map with it so I gave it a try and yeah.. it didn't go well, haha. Just wondering what advice there is to run no regen if we have to.

Also, I've gone back and forth on using clarity with MoM. I run AA and HoI which leaves me with 1,071 unreserved mana. My lvl 19 Clarity is 265 mana, so I'm left with 806 unreserved. But my mana regen goes from 120 to 166 (in hideout, no consecrated ground). When on cons ground it doesn't really matter, but it does feel smoother otherwise. It definitely helps with desecrated ground maps since MoM absorbs 30% of that dmg as well. Any tips on if it's worth it or not to run it?

Thanks!

Well no reg mode is kinda annoying but normally doable with mana / life flasks and a bit of leech... when map modes get to crazy it can be impossible.

I would not use clarity because it reserved mana... if you feel that you need addtional reggen use vaal clarity. And yes I really think MoM is worth it... it increases our survivability a lot!

Thanks for your advice!

Hey!

Thanks for this build. I'm currently lvl 87 in Abyss and already got most of the gear. It is much fun playing this.

I was unlucky with trials yet, so I haven't made uber lab yet. Without uber lab its good to farm up to tier 10, after 10 it is sometimes a pain. Hope this got fixed with uber lab + MoM!?

I have a few questions:

1) Why we use bloodrage? My first thought was "yeah great life leech", but it is "of attack physical damage". Next thought was "ok, 10% attack speed", but this is just for movement. Is it because of the frenzy charges? We get them from "overcharged" anyway. Bloodrage generates frenzy charges on kill aswell, not on hit - that would help us in boss fights. So, why we give up all life reg for 10% Attack speed? Do I miss something?

2) When is the best point to switch BV to 5L and spark to 4L? I guess after I got a "30% increased ele dmg" helmet?

3) Any advices what upgrade next?


Here is my current gear:



Again, thank you bashtart!
