Increased aura effect and added lightning damage to spells and attacks are a huge waste of money and the benefits they provide far outweigh the cost. Getting actual auras on Cotb is nice, but its so expensive that its not something to worry about until you are much deeper into the build.

Your money is much better off spent on (well, buying 20% catalyst CotB) buying +2 projectile or duration implicit chest, +2 aoe/aura shield, getting vitality/mana reserve neck (which might enable you to switch back to Bated Breath for more ES and no longer require x2 small cluster jewels with mana res which eat up 3 skill points each!) and a spell crit or max frenzy charge implicit maligaro's gloves.

You should also socket your haste in your helmet for +2 levels.

@gfellows: you are missing quite a bit of mana reserve: 6% on amulet + 4% near charisma + possible Champion of the Cause anoint if you pathed to charisma. Without all that and no mana reserve enchant on the helm, your discipline is just going to cost too much with blood magic.

I would maybe use purity of fire (since you have might cluster) with blood magic and switch discipline to a normal 3 aura + enlighten setup

I followed the passive tree from the guide on ek 400% to the letter (except I have voice 7's cos i cant afford better) thanks for your advice ill keep it in mind.

The original guide is not particularly current and the general opinion on here is the crit version is superior. Just look at people tree and gear on this thread, it's going to give you massive clues.

As it's already been said, your amulet is terrible for this build and you have the wrong anoint. You need to path to charisma and anointing champion with a rmr amulet. Or at the very least try and squeeze some rmr in somewhere else, good luck with that excluding possibly conquerors efficiency.

Not enough rmr = a problem.

I'd definitely do more than keep jsuslak313'S advice in mind if I were you, its good advice.

How do you get 90% Physical damage reduction on this build? Is it from ascendancy?

Just dropped this and was wondering if its good? I can run Anger if so. If not, any idea on a price to sell it? I see basic clarity is around 40x and double anger without clarity is 30ish ex. Do I just add those together?

Hey guys, i have a question about support gems for coc cyclone arc. CoC, cyclone, arc and inspiration are mandatory, but i wonder which is the best for the last two slots. I am running inc crit strike and awakened added lightning dmg atm. My crit chance is 57 with inc crit and 35 without.

I am seeing that other people are running cold penetration or energy leech on the last slots. I dont know if this would be better than awakend added lightning or the huge increase in crit chance.
