This jewel is used mostly to fill up the dex since you dont want to invest into it in rest of gear, but in additonal mods i would sugest one with dex and later, Life >>> Crit >>> Movement speed >>> projectile damage. You are sadly not able to check it before you buy and each reroll would take you one divine orb, i did spend like 6 divines before i was happy with the result of it.

Defence seems very bad. Not enough layers. Minotaur one shots me every time. Glass cannon build. Am I missing anything?
I don't have bottled faith yet, it is very expensive. And I am missing some jewels and cluster jewel, but they all seem to be dps jewels.

Also die instantly in ultimatums.

3364 Life and you're doing Mino, no Fortify. Garbage flask setup: no Basalt, no Rumi's. Dude...

Are you kidding? You are not supposed to survive there with such low life pool. My build have 4.8k of life on white maps and will have 5.1-5.8k life at T16s with 9k of Mana (total more than 10k EHP)

Ok so first of all you dont have fortify setup what is huge diference, beside that you have bit low mana pool and terrible mana regen.
1600-1900 (idk do you have alira or not) mana regen for agnostic archmage build is not enought to feel tanky, im sitting at 6000 mana regen and becouse of that i dont need nexus gloves. Life is ok-ish but i would try to reach atleast 4000 hp at 8000 mana (i have almost 5k hp 10k mana and watcher eye with another 10% MoM). Tbh i would change half of your build to make it tanky for example you dont need that wrath and essence worm to do dmg (this build do crazy dmg even without it) clarity and precision would be much better option for auras. Also you probably getting stunned preety often, and you could solve it with skyforth (Imo best in slot item especialy if you would get mana regen enchant which is huge). With my setup i basicly sit in one place of ultimatum and spamm ball lightning till end of it. You can try to copy my my build (there is nothing crazy in it) my profile is public so it shouldnt be problem, char name Totems_once_again

If you are a pro cool dude hc gamer then take care of your hp and shit.

If you play sc just go for dmg, i'm rocking 2,6k life and fucking up everything. Did deathless uber elder, maven, sirus, all bossess, every ultimatum and other shit. Occasional deaths will happen now and then but only with crazy mods on maps/invitations. You cannot die if your enemies just melt from one single zap.

For bosses remember to time your buffs, pop arcane cloak before boss activates and regen a bit so you have full mana for BL/taking a hit when the fight starts.

I am using the crit build, which doesn't have Rumi etc.
Where are you getting fortify? I can't find it in the build at all.

Mino has the attack where he pops up from the ground. It onehit me with all buffs and arcane cloak up etc. At the start of the encounter, I easily bursted him to 20% hp in seconds, but after that he kept oneshotting me on sight until I had no portals.

Maybe you had too many nasty mods + maven etc, you should try again perhaps. Or "Just dodge his attack looool"

It's hard to dodge when he uses burrow the same second I entered the arena, essentially dying after loading screen.... There could be some "added damage" mods, but nothing more that should be bad. I cleared the map ez until the boss itself.


I see there are some good comments on page 120,121,123 where some defensive options are added.

For clarity, I am following the only POB i found by OP, in "POB archive" for 3.13 with crit: https://pastebin.com/PgCJMifJ.

I was following this pob

which i found under boss killing videos (i think its just slightly changed pob by someone who played this build)

You should change your life flask (agnostic will heal you anyway) for rumi or granite with % armour.

You are also missing a lot of jewels and cluster jewel.
You can throw healthy mind jewel in the middle of the tree so it grabs "quick recovery" for more mana.

Skyforths are nice and cheap, i think you just need to change couple things and you will be gucci
