Can you kindly link up a poe.trade link as you did on the previous post upon replying on my thread for searching a better rare wand? I'm planning to really make a big investment in this character. I wanted to try to beat Elder /Shaper in this league.

Learning to set filters in trade is a key skill and won't take you that long. Also, the "best" filters are dependent on things like what you can craft from your bench and whether you are willing to consider some meta-crafting. You also need to be able to change them on the fly to get a full picture of what is available.

The first page of the guide is a good place to see which filters you will want to start with. And for max DPS with any chaos build, including this one, this post is really a must read: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2485596

How am I able to judge that once I make the switch to wand I will see improvement? Is it best to use path of building to create a similar wand to compare to equipped weapons?

Yes aura's like Zealotry/Malevolence/Grace/Discipline/Haste/etc can go in to your Diadem with less reservation to your mana pool, then if you take sovereignty on the tree you should be able to run 2 aura's comfortably, I run 3 as I have a lvl 3 Enlighten. There are few other nodes on tree to get upto 4 aura's running with the Diadem, I think Jolo's char is setup this way.

I was just looking at this. Diadem gives you 20%, Sovereignty gives you 14% on 4 nodes, and Charisma gives you 12% on 3 nodes. Of course you also have to factor in nodes to get there, which can vary.

34% will save enough to allow 150% base reservation. 32% doesn't quite make 150% base but is more than enough for 135%. If you go with both clusters for 46% (all of these assume Diadem), you can just squeeze 185% base. As pointed out, Empower affects this quite a lot; any level of Empower increases the mana reserved by 25%. With Empower, you need both clusters to do 135% base and can't quite do 150% unless you have some other means to get an extra %. Two nodes will you get 4% in the Influence cluster - that should be the cheapest way to do it with passives.

Hope this helps anyone else trying to figure this out.

Cheers

Make sure you have your current build loaded and saved.

On the items page, choose "craft item": you can choose wand and then any base you want. Then "create" it, at which point you will be able to customize all affixes and their rolls. It will show you damage comparisons if you replace your current mace, or if you dual wield it by replacing the shield.

Question: How do you get that +300 all element res ring. I can't figure it out.
