When I place my glorious vanity timeless jewel I get only +200 hp -100 ES and +60 life regen per sec. Also my dmg is lower with it. Not sure if it's worth using it? I tried other sockets and it's even worse :(

Is it possible to play this as CI? The game gifted me a 5-link Shavronne's on my first citadel map O_O.

You absolutely can use a Shavronne's, but every single piece of gear except for bow and amulet will have to change as well. You'll want at least 150 ES on Gloves and Boots, a helmet with 250+ ES, a Crystal belt with good rolls (preferably rolled with Dense fossils for inc. ES from Shavronne's), you'll want Moonstone rings with 35+ ES rolls (craft faster ES recharge), your quiver will probably be a Soul Strike.

You'll want to specc into Wicked Ward, Pain Attunement and Arcane Vision and change all the life nodes to ES nodes and ES recharge (really important).

Last but not least.. your auras will have to change too. You'll want to run Vaal Discipline + Blood Magic to reduce your life pool down to the threshold. Auras on the mana side can be the TC aura with Blasphemy & Malevolence. If you can, fit in Flesh & Stone as well.

You'll potentially have more DPS, but it comes at the cost of higher investment.

The reason why we (can) use glorious vanity is because it corrupts the "mind over Matter" keystone into "Corrupted Soul", you then have to allocate the new keystone. "Corrupted Soul" gives 20% of your max Life as ES, should give 1-2k ES. The smaller corrupted nodes are not really major changes, we don't use to many in the range anyways

Loving this build, playing it for the second league in a row (ssf). I am doing fine (or being lucky) getting most of the relevant items for this build and general progression in the atlas/endgame. But I cannot, for the life of me, find a Witchfire Brew. Am I missing something? I've tried the Bestiary Blood Altar, Ancient Orb's, Temple Sacrifice Table, ran a shitload of maps and even attempted to chance it quite a bit but it won't drop for me. It's not a league exclusive or something isn't it? Any additional tips on how to get one? I feel like it would open up a few interesting options in the build for me at this point.

Ok i'm kind of at a loss right now, i've been playing around with path of building to see why my tooltip dps is almost half of yours even tho my items are rather closely resembling yours and i can't figure it out.

You have a watchers eye over me, and a lvl 4 empower, but even if i put those items into my build they definitely don't almost double my dps, idk if I'm setting PoB up wrong or smth, woudl you be able to help me out on this one?

Hello, is cherubim maleficence a good armour for this build ? According to PoB, if i equip one (i just drop one), it's a huge boost of DPS, but i lost 800 ES, gain 274 life, lose 148 evasion (at 20 % quality, i've beast recipe to corrupt to 30 %).
At the same time i havent socket a doryani jewel yet, so maybe the lost of ES can be balanced ? I don't found how to sim a doryani jewel in PoB
Here is my currently PoB : https://pastebin.com/BqpGHkpk
