Hey guys, short question:

I have BloodMagic Gem 21, all reduced Mana reserved Nodes from the Passive tree, that was posted after the patch.
I cant reserve clarity on life. My 3 Auras on Prism require 19% and the one 35 Purity Aura on BM costs 42%. After that only 1% Life is left, not enough for Clarity.

Did i oversee something? I am running Alphas Howl without enchant and no reduced Mana Jewel. But in the Aura Setup guide, it says i should be able to run 3x50% on Prism and 35%+clarity on BM 21.

Character is HaraldTheBold

you are missing 16% mana reserved i guess you didnt take all nodes at all :D. You are also level 81 so you are missing a lot of passive points+increased maximum mana+intelligence etc etc. Also enlighten 4 helps a lot at your stage.

Hello bois.

Could somebody please try to explain me what am i missing in my build?
I mean, i do enjoy the build, and im able to do the simulacrum, even did an Uber Elder deathless. BUT my PoB says i have like 4.5m DPS. I'm at lvl 93. The 81lvl PoB from this thread does have very similar dps with just 2 voices. My setup is a little bit different, i use Cast while channeling arc cyclone (someone told me to go this way and it's so smooth).


Am I doing something wrong? Oh, and where does 75% block chance comes from? My PoB says i've got only 24.



Anyways, there's my profile.
It's EnoughOfDyingAtFknSirus character. (it's not enough btw, dying every single time at the last phase :< )

I'm lost.

Cast while channeling is a cheap and nasty alternative to Coc. No clue why you would go this route, it's not like the gear i can see is scuffed. Short answer go crit, go CoC.

Edit: on mobile so can see minimal.

Edit 2: looking into a bit although cwc definitely has a lower damage ceiling it does mean you bont have to worry about ias stacking or cool down reduction so overall probably not as bad a choice as I thought.

You're wearing Maligaro's gloves for killer crit chance... and then running controlled destruction? Seems a little counter-productive. Also, you're still using Elemental Overload on the tree, which also destroys any effect from Maligaro's.

To follow up...

CwC procs just shy of 3 times / second, while CoC for your setup should be ~3.5 times per second.

CwC is a 12% damage multiplier. CoC is a 39% damage multiplier.

Seems pretty obvious to me that CoC is a clear winner.

If I were you, I'd drop Elemental Overload, CwC, and Controlled Destruction, and pick up CoC and Increased Critical Strikes, and try that.

OTOH, I'm not an experienced CoC *or* CwC player, so I could easily have missed something obvious.

Iam using EK and awakened controlled destruction gem is the 3rd best gem for me. BEhind awakened spell echo and physical to lightning. So even if controlled destruction does decrease your crit the bonus from spell dagamge,cast and atk speed is just too good.

Can I ask, in my build i'm using awakened cold penetration and also a watcher eye with cold penetration(hatred).

Is it overkill and if so, what should i change it to?

Also, after all my twinking, i realized i have 300 life/ 88 Mana left.

Any suggestion how i can utilize them a bit more.. not sure if i can fit avian in.. quite bad at using PoB :x

Any suggestion in terms of points allocation is greatly appreciated.

You are running straight up EK. The extra crits are nice to have, but they aren't... well... "Critical". Any build using Cast on Crit needs the crits to trigger their other damage spells. So for instance:

Say you're running EK / CoC / Arc. (This is vastly simplified, BTW. Dig around with Google if you really want to understand this.)

Your EK does, say, 500k DPS with CD, but only crits 25% of the time, with an attack speed of 4 per second, just to make the math easy. So once per second, it's going to trigger your Arc, which puts out another 2 million DPS. Total per second is going to be 2 million from the 4 attacks with EK, and another bonus 2 million from the one time it triggered Arc. 4 mil total.

Now... replace the CD with increased critical strikes. Your damage output on EK drops to 450k, and on Arc it drops to 1.8 million. Your attacks per second is still 4. Your crit strike chance has gone up, however, to 50%. So now your total is EK @ 450k x 4 added to Arc @ 1.8 million x 2. 5.4 mil total.

You're essentially absorbing a "reduced" damage in exchange for a "more" multiplier.

Controlled elemental focus is fine for crit builds as long as you have enough crit, as you only lose around 5%.

Off the top of my head:

Remove elemental overlord as this takes away your crit multiplier.

You're running some weird flasks.

You don't need Rumis AND a granite, you're also running a hp flask which isn't needed.

You don't have a atziri / diamond / silver flask.

Bottled faith when you can afford one.

You can replace Rumis as well with wise oak or cinder urn when you have enough points for influence as this will put you at 87%~ armor without endurance charges / pantheon (might be a bit less if you're not running avian as 1 less aura).


You're missing a watcher's eye.

You can fit smite in that last slot in your boots but I feel like that'll feel bad to use with coc arc. You can use flame dash with arcane surge instead I guess

EDIT

Just realised your using EK coc arc now?

That's a bit weird. Wouldn't it just be better to go pure EK?

I went EK and clear is insane tho you do need to spend a few points on getting ring of blades + poachers aim.

Also you get 75% block from ascendancy (2 seconds every 5 seconds and whenever you attack you also get 10%)
