What's the use of strength and Dex apart from the required for items/gems. Int is used for energy shield and Mana so increasing int a priority.

**Skin of loyal +2 looks very expensive. 3G2B1R is a cheap base and you can spam vaal and sell it. It tooks me ~10 tries before i get +1 corruption.

I don't craft at all so forgive my ignorance but isn't getting that exact stat in just ten rolls extremely lucky?

If I understand the basics, isn't that like 1 in 5 just to change the implicit to anything and then if you hit that one in five you still have to hit a 1 in 20(?) to catch the specific +1 implicit?

Thanks again to Konean for holding the 1R-5G +1 skin on the loyal

I'm using, HoAg + awakened vicious proj + vile toxin + hypo + pierce + empower, which results in herald of agony reserving 26%.

Which is less than the optimal setup of HoAg, pierce, maim, minion damage, damage on full life, empower of 30%

I'm trying to figure out if I can somehow manage to optimise my mana reservations and get 4 auras in without the helm enchant.

We already know its possible with 40% CoN, charmisa annoit, 2 x 1% reduce mana reservation corrupted jewels, enlighten 4, shaper +1 gems, conqueror's efficiency.

I am able to get to 1% mana remaining with the above setup and only using enlighten 3 - thereby saving like 6-7ex, but if ex's aren't an issue and I had the empower 4 anyway, is there a way for me to save skill points in mana reservation (which results more ES points)??

Seems like 5 x 1% reduce mana jewels, enlighten 4 and all the rest, I can take out a 4% reduce skill point (saves 3 points).

Can anyone come up with anything better? 1% reduce on tempered spirit, conqueror's efficency, golden rule are relatively affordable (~1ex), but getting then on grand spectrums or healthy minds are bloody expensive.

Sure it's a lucky random, but i mean anyway you will get something like trap or mines +2 or aoe gems +2 ( sold it around 2-3 exa each ) and you can buy a new one and spam. 3G2R1B costs around 5 exa so its expensive to corrupt +1.

So just to be clear, I've vaal'ed well over 100 skins and I've hit +1 socket gems once. You also run the risk of of vaal'ing it into a rare with less than 6 sockets. I hit that 7-8 times.

This an extremely YMMV thing to vaal so people should keep that in mind. Certainly don't do it until you can stand to lose the currency you will be putting into it.
