I reached maps alittle while ago on this.

The build is solid. I've died ALOT though. I'm not blaming the build, but so more the bad balance changes combined with my more haphazard way of going through the campaign by not putting effort into keeping gear up to date

The big issue is mana cost. I have lvl 1 clarity and wrath. If I try to turn on skitterbots or discipline it's just constant mana issue and that's just a 4link so it'll be worse as i upgrade to 5-6 links.

I dont see all auras working anmore, even with enlightens and the 6% reservation node I think sacrifices will need to be made

EDIT: ok i tested and respecd 4 points to get the -mana reservation and I can run clarity lvl 1, wrath, and discipline with a 4 link. Even if I had an enlighten I dont think skitterbots would work

Usually the dying part is just needing to get used to the playstyle and then getting to a *decent* gear level. (not WOW gear or 10ex invest, but just average ok gear, 5-6k mediocre ES gear). The most important part in staying alive is simply the playstyle, getting used to drawing benefit of the huge defensives built into our ascendancy (blinding everything on-hit and having constant 10% regen running), which works best when you are used to throwing traps always in the direction you are moving/blinking, so that packs of monsters are always blinded before they get to hit you.

I'm lvl 61 only atm, no deaths and was doing everything with negative resists because I didn't work on my gear at all from act 1-7. I'm running Skitterbots, Wrath, Clarity.

I can't yet speak for the true changes of the mana multipliers they globally nerfed, but so far everything has been smooth, no mana issues that I wouldn't normally have in previous leagues in this "level of gear".

What will fix and improve my mana to the point where I usually can toss away the mana flask completely is:

+ Leveling my enlighten to lvl 3 (or buying a broken corrupted lvl 3).
+ Bench crafting -mana cost for non-channeling skills on 1 or both rings should also alleviate any mana issues.
+ Getting my block to max/picking up glancing and the remaining block points in the skill-tree combined with Mystic Bulwark for the 75% mana regen.
+ Leveling inspiration support gem = 34% reduced mana cost of our trap skill.
+ Picking up perfect crime ascendancy = 25% reduced mana cost of our trap skill.
+ Getting the sovereignty skill nodes in the tree.

There are even heist gems that reduce mana cost/reserve as well, but imo those won't be required.

Imo, start by simply replacing one of your supports for inspiration support.
I would drop pierce and use the pierce jewel from the quest in act 5.

There are many mana improvements that people don't see until they level to 85+ and invest a little time with the build and/or know the build in advance from having played it before already :)

So I am leaguestarting this and enjoying it thus far - confused at prices this league though. Tinkerskins seem to be going for more than shavs at the moment - am I just going insane?
