Hi Bashtart,

Thanks a lot for the build and the time you put into it!

Simple question on my side, I followed the switch to MoM + Eldritch which led to the removal of mana as a ressource, but to make it work you need Energy shield leech (I tried with 0 leech and it did not work :))

You seem to be using the gem for this. I do not have a 5 or 6 links yet, so I was wondering why you did not take the "Ethereal Feast" nodes in the passive tree. Are they overkill with the gem? Or would they be nice in addition to it?

Well I guess it is a matter of taste.. I thought more leech is not really necessary.

Ok, I have just tried it since it is so close to our nodes, and it works nicely with MoM. I breathed through Act 10 and will start mapping now.

FYI it gives 1.5% Energy Leech, plus some nice aside buffs to energy leeching so you get really close to the gem (1.5-1.9). To be tested on higher maps but it may free a slot for another gem at the cost of 5 passive points?

The energy leech support has also very good damage mutipliers so imo no.

Why so little focus on crit chance? Since crits penetrate ele resistances.
Is controlled destruction really all that worth it?
It just seems so unintuitive to have low crit chance and controlled destruction but I guess when you do the math it's for the best.

Controlled Destruction only reduces the crit chance by about 5%. And yes it still worth it.

Have you considered The covenant armor bashtart?
It gives spark blood magic and added chaos dmg lvl 15.
Inquis outheals spark bloodmagic easily with right ascend

You can then drop Eb and run 5k hp plus with some Es as life and MoM with a esence worm, also zealotry+ enlighten works great on spark with wrath

So I took not pious path because of zealotry then took the take less elemental dmg ascend

hows your survivability with EB and no MoM guys? i mean we dont really have anything else to really defend us

I cant understand, the passive tree is not complete. Please, anyone have this information?

Hello. Great guide! Thank you! I had a couple of questions. There are multiple gear choices listed in some sections that is causing me some confusion. I am trying to clarify what the BEST option is in each of these cases. I am curious what the best in slot would be out of the following choices you listed:


Helmet: Rare helm, rat's nest, starkonja's head or devoto's devotion, or lightpoacher


Belt: Rare high life & resistance, bisco's leash, headhunter, or bated breath


Ring: Rare missing stats & high resistance, Berek Grip, Ventor's Gamble, Mark of the Shaper ring in combination with an Elder ring, or Call of the brotherhood with Herald of Ice


Boots: Rare with life, es, faster movement speed and resistances, or Voidwalker


Gloves: Shaper Gloves, Wind of change, Kalisa's Grace, or Shadows and Dust


Flasks: Which 5 to use: Vessel of Vinktar, Atziri's promise, Surgeon's Silver Flask, Avenger's Diamond Flask of Grounding, The overflowing chalice, Sulphur Flask, or Soul Catcher Flask

Hi, thanks for the guide! Are you going to post an updated gear with skill gems at the top? I was using the one there for reference and it appears I shouldn't have been using blade vortex all this time.
