We are always leeching es non stop, why wouldn't we use the energy shield leech support gem? It seem to give the most more multipler and free es leech

I am going full ES multiple times per second, stopping all sources of leech in those times while also no longer being full ES for the regular damage multiplier.

That said, if you don't have ES on hit and your ES is not capping often, you can use it.

hey

what if you replaced controlled destruction with arcane surge. Then cyclone could proc arcane surge through mana spent. I feel that this would also overide the lvl 1 arcane surge that arcane capacitor gives.

Arcane Surge cannot support Cyclone as it is an attack. it won't work, unfortunately.

Anyone tried Awakener? Thinking about going shavs wrappings.
Mana flask didn't do it for me in this fight, no adds. Edit: I turned of an aura for more Mana.

Gotta stack "Damage gained as mana over 4 seconds" mods. 6% as a prefix on Rings+Ammy for 18% total and/or 15-20% from the clarity modded watcher's eye.

I have not gotten to the Awakener yet, but know there are no adds means finding a way to make the mana work beforehand.

Shavs is a fine way to go. I prefer Hybrid and using cool influence mods myself. But going LL with Shavs is very fine if you can stack enough ES (I'd go for about 8k or so)

i prefer hybrid too, currently using

but in this fight i had some real problems filling up my life bar due to chaos damage, ES was fine.

guess more practice will solve most problems.

Ah, I have Life gained on hit for spells on my ring and 483 Life gained on block.

Solaris Lorica could also be fine (and cheap) as a stand-in for the fight if you're worried about the chaos damage. Plus it comes with some reduced chaos damage taken too. Colors might be an issue though. haha.

Or, you know, 75% Chaos res is basically like being immune to chaos. hahaha



I snagged this earlier; Offering effect with T2 Spell crit and a T2 res. YUM! Now my broke self will endeavor to 6L it--neeeeever gonna happen. Haha.

regarding life on hit and block (spoilers contain awakener fight mechanics, for those who want to go in blind):



uh, nice chest!

Spoiler

the issues are during the immune phases of the boss. u cant leech or rely on on hit/block mechanics. only regen is ur friend. during the dps phases i can heal myself up with

ES is not a problem becuase of spirit offering

uh, nice chest!

Usually on hit effects work during immune phases, even if they don't damage. Such as Atziri's add phase. Can't hurt her, but you can still hit her.

barring that, we get 6% regen from consecrated ground and can get the boot enchant for another 2%. 1% from tree. 9% total is not too bad all things considered.

Got him to the last phase without dying on a 20watchstone atlas, but can't see shit in this phase because of our own balls, so i died a few times and badly placed vortexes did the rest :D
Having the ring craft on 2 rings helped a lot sustaining mana. I also got corrupted blood can not be inflicted to you on a jewel, 33% chaos resistance and used Soul of Arakaali Pantheon. That allowed me to tank a meteor :D

Sadly he is not targetable anymore in his immunity phase, so you can't leech.

We can't use Arcane Surge with Cyclone unfortunately. Rather, Cyclone won't activate AS for us.

The cluster isn't *bad* by any means. But it's also not needed. Also it only effects the AS buff not the more multiplier from the gem.

Basically it's 3 points for some mana and 7% more spell damage (70% increased effect of a level 1 Arcane surge buff)

I'm not sure if I understand, Arcane Capacitor activates on kill, I use it and have 100% uptime on maps etc.
Ofc it doesn't help for bosses without ad phases but other than that it is really good.

Hey dude,
your build is rly awesome!! But i have alot of question regarding item progression.

So far everything went well, but after facing some endgame bosses, like Cortex or Awakener I feel really squishy. I havent set up an AG yet so I dunno if the fortify will make it up. Do u have any tips for my state of game ? What should I do next ? I wanted to craft 2 Rings for mana issue and the curse on hit to set up an AG with Kingmaker
