Please can anyone tell me why this ring makes me do 0 lightning damage with my ball lightning? i bought it thinking it would give me a good boost to my HoA (cannot afford mana res reduction one yet) but it makes my ball lightning only do chaos damage with messes with my EE

check your weapon. can't use EE until you swap it out for a +lvl minion wand

oh wow i feel stupid. i took the ring off and it showed lightning damage on EE but that was because i then didn't have the correct stats for my weapon.

Thanks.

Level 68 will get you 8000+ energy shield, 15000 armor

What in the world am I doing wrong? I feel like I followed this guide pretty well, and only have 5100 ES and 8700 armor :-( I'm 6ex deep into this build, and even though some of my gear rolls are mediocre, i thought I'd have way more ES by now...

looks like you're missing a lot of important jewels that add a lot of mana

You are taking things like whispering of doom too early. You need the level 68 tree with tempered spirit and mana nodes. Compare the 68 POB with yours.

You're only level 68
You are missing a ton of jewels.
That wand you have shouldnt even be used, get a cheap +1 minion wand or swap to cold iron point cyclone setup without EE.
Lesser poison isnt needed now that you have a synth ring
Switch your boots to rainbowstrides
Annoint your amulet
Make sure you are reserving as close to 99% of your mana as you can be.

You need more mana and you need to reserve as much as possible to get the most armor/energy shield out of the build.

Just a few comments to help folk out.

First, get lvl 31 hoa if you can, it’s insane. I was able to make a +1 amulet for about 4ex and the damage increase is quite significant.

Did you corrupt your own armor or just buy it that way? Because the price for those atm is absolutely insane and it saddens me that I might never reach that. But I also know that landing a +1 is no easy task.

Fantastic guide, fantastic build. Thank you so much for putting the work into it.

I am having one problem though:

No matter what I do, I can't seem to be able to get my mana reservation right.

I am trying to use HoA, Hatred, Skitterbots, flesh and stone and Clarity.

I have a level 4 Enlighten, a 40% roll on Circle of Nostalgia, all of the mana reservation nodes in your build plus Charisma on my amulet, +1 to all skills Shaper Gloves to get Enlighten to 5 and I can't get HoA, Hatred, Skitter and Flesh and Stone at the same time.

Clarity is a non-issue. I don't need the regen and even at level 13, it only reserves 190 mana out of my 9353 mana pool.

The wand is just waiting for 4 more levels till I can equip a +1 and Cast Socketed Spell that I've already got :-)

Fixed the "whispers of doom" passive being allocated too soon.

Swapped out lesser poison for GMP.

Got rainbowstrides

Helped a bit... I'm at 6,000 ES now... will work on getting the jewels :-) thank you!

Can someone please give me the Delve spectres to use? I'm not at 100 depth yet and have been using the Towering Figments for the time being. If anyone is willing to help me get them, msg me in game - FreeExaltedOrbs

EDIT: I got the spectres! Thank you to antMANA <3

Grand spectrum jewels look pretty insignificant, but as soon as you can slot in the set of 3 you get a pretty large ES boost as well.
