I'll need some time to think about the best approach.

In general, the right side gives us more damage and life on kill, which we can use to replace Brush with Death on the clusters with DPS notable.

Without Acrobatics, we don't loose 50% of the armour, so we have ~3k armour (same gear as previously. will need to update it, so probably more), and now its more effective.

Even if we go left for the Armour, its a high investment to get a significant improvement and for a significant damage loss.


This is what I have so far:

This is very preliminary tree and needs optimizations and some gear changes
Damage is much better, btw...

Anyway, I'm open to suggestions :)

I'm hoping for a variation with Herald of Ash in it for extra clear. This should be fun to play.

Look at my test

I think we could focus on the Mana Reservation Nodes and Focus on using triple Auras: Malevolence, Determination and Purity of Elements. Without Lab Enchant for Mana Reservation, we can fit all three and Aspect of Spider if we use Enlighten lv 3 (I think it is possible with Lv 2 but only be able to use 1 CA on full mana, remember to check the reservation of Purity since in the PoB it still on 35% reservation. Just look at the determination value).

With this, we will have a huge defensive value, without flask or endurance charges, we get 60% Physical reduction (With 3x Endurance and Flask we can get to 90% Phys Reduction), we can easily cap Elemental resist without getting it on gear. We cap our Chaos Resist with passive points alone, (Getting 90% Chaos Resist on lv 98, took some points for lv 95 Tree) and we will be Immune to Ignite, Freeze and Shook.

We will lose some damage on Death Aura, however our CA will still deal 3m dps.
