Hey Noodle I returned to POE after about 4 years break and used your build (I'm playing on xbox since my wooden pc can't handle the game) and I'm really having a good time with it but I have a problem with survivability.. I'm not in end game at all, I just started mapping t1-2-3-4~ and haven't done uber lab yet (cause I'm squishy) do you have any recommendations? I guess most of it is my fault cause I'm using Tabula Rasa as of now (I have the chest armor with 6s but not linked yet so while I'm working on it I use the Tabula) but still, I saw you said Herald of Agony doesn't do much as it's poison and not chaos damage. Should I switch it to arctic armor like you did?
And another question if I may, using clarity + temporal chains + using toxic rain is taking a very hefty toll on my mana, any recommendation for that as well?
(Please treat me as a very beginner player as I have close to none recollection regarding POE :P)
Thank you!

I'm glad you're enjoying it! I do recommend taking arctic armour and clarity over herald of agony if you are feeling squishy.

Are you using a hybrid flask? Having a hybrid flask that is bubbling (50% instant) gives us that pop of mana and also some regen. If you are still having issues when using a hybrid flask, maybe respec out of some damage and take Arcane Chemistry , that helps with both mana recovery and reduces our flask charges used. I'd say if you have Primal Spirit, Arcane Chemistry, a hybrid flask, and clarity, you should be able to sustain!

You don't like Efficacy instead of Concentrated Effect? It has 24% more damage over time and 16% increased duration and more chance of overlapping dots since the downside of concentrated effect is not there.
