Hi all, I just finished my build but feels less tanky and slow as compared to the video guides. Damage is also on the low side. Would appreciate if someone can take a look at my build and see what i can do to upgrade it. I managed to get Hatred -15% mana reservation enchant on my helmet but doesn't seem enough to get another aura going.

I am currently lvl 94 and i cant get enough skill points to get the last small cluster jewel as well as the socket jewel to put lethal pride. Appreciate all advise.

You really need Lethal Pride jewel... It doubles your block chance. Drop down some points that you've spent for mana and pick it. Without this jewel your Pain Attunement is useless. You should add the 4th small cluster for endurance charges. It gives you armor and additional 12% phys reduction. And you can get there more resistances, ES or mana.

It seems like now you can be ignited because you have additional dexterity on shield and you don't have additional strength from lethal pride... Craft there something else. And divine it to get 5% ES on block.

You have really juicy gear, so you don't have troubles with money. Slam your small and medium clusters to get more profit. And corrupt them or no balls))

I don't think that it's worth to pick 4th aura. But if you want it, you need to pick 2 more points for mana reservation in skill tree and some corrupted jewels with -1% mana reservation. And you need an additional gem socket for it...

You call the starting cost "moderate" then you say that all those cluster jewels are mandatory and should prioritized. Do you have any idea how much those jewels cost?

The large ones, ~2 ex (if not more) each. This build needs 2.
The medium ones, 1-2 ex each. This build needs 4.
And the small ones, Will Shaper ~40 c (want 3 of those) and the other one is ~15-20c.

So, we are taking about a minimum cost of 9 - 13 exalts, for the just the cluster jewels, without anything else on the build.

There is nothing moderate about this build's cost, it's an extremely expensive build.

The problem is in 5-herald build that uses the same bases of cluster jewels.
This build is not cheap but the problem is not in cluster jewels that actually can be crafted for twice less price. To close 20/20 simulacrium or 5 delirium maps deathless you need watcher's eye with ES on hit that is really expensive.
To be able to close all content you need to spend in total something like 30ex. To get the damage that is described in topic you need to spend twice more, as loyal skins with +2 to gems and right colors are really expensive now. I would say that for this price it's better to make 5-herald build. But it's popular now and prices are growing every day)

That's really good advice. I'll try to make the changes over the next couple of days. A few more questions to your suggestions:

1) What stats should i be looking for lethal pride? any good numbers that's recommended?
2) Which area of mana points should i drop? all seems to add either 15% or 20% to maximum mana which seems really good to drop though.
3) What about my skill gems links, i see Popcorn's youtube video where he uses projectile weakness tgt with ball lightning?
3) I see that small overlook on the ignited part. So I should aim to have Strength more than dexterity?
4) I thought the small and medium jewels are already at their max. Slam the medium and small clusters to get more passives stats to nodes?

sry really new at this HoA build. came over from FP totem and this HoA is quite a refreshing playstyle.

1) Mainly you need to get Glancing Blow. It is impossible to understand by numbers which exact passive gives Lethal Pride, so you need iether to ask the seller or just buy the cheapest one and divine it a couple of times. It also can provide you some additional buffs in Dreamer passive. Mine gives me 20% fire resistance. I don't know whether there can be obtained something more usefull.
2) I would drop 2 points near Cruel Preparation - Deep Thoughts and mana. They gives you like 350 ES in total. But Lethal Pride and endurance charges give you much more survivability. If you still don't have enough points drop more mana points.
3) Yes. Your belt gives you immune to ignite if your strength is higher than dexterity.
4) Medium clusters with Discipline and Pure Agony are perfect for us and they can have an additional buff for small passive. I got adiitional atack and cast speed for minions and a bit intelligence/strength. Not much, but maybe you will get something better. Small clusters also can have up to 4 stats. 1 is busied by skill, while other 3 gives more buffs to small passives.

They are always equal. That is how lethal pride works. If you got Glancing Blows - cool, that's exactly what you need. Just pick one of them, it doesn't matter which exact one. What did you get as a bonus for Dreamer passive?

dreamer was +20% damage to totem haha
