But HoA, Tempest and Discipline are already reserving all mana.
No chance to add it without Enlighten lvl 3 at least.

It's because you don't use small cluster jewels with self-control and uncompromising

I rlly don't understand why you would chose Bastion of hope over Time of need on any tree, is because you can't be stunned then?

But then I wonder why do we have the " cast on stunned then? "

Hi Chromino,
I got tired of a doubt, because the full block version is with 51% Block and 74% Block spell?

Hi radius540,

the Glancing blows edition is very nice too, especially when you want 1M more damage with the chaosmastery, but I advice for tankyness to fullbock 50-60%/75% block (like you prefer BoH / ToN).

I started a spoiler on page 50 about. I personally go in standard with fullblock and it's an immortal monster, more tanky as in 3.15.

Fullblock vs Glacing blows

Bastion of hope vs Time of need




Fullblock vs Glancing blows

Damagereductions fullblock:

(50-)60+75 /2 % × 100% dr= average 6750% dr
with bastion of hope 2/ 5 sec 15%= 9% more/2 average= 7150 dr and more continious attackblock 2/5 sec

- in maps a rumi's concotion flask caps your blockings up to 75% easy, only bossing you do not get capped blockings

- fullblock raises 250% the capacities of your molten shell and frostshield in damagepeaks (like full delirium-maps or deep delve)

Damagereductions Glancing blows:

75/75% × 35% = average 2625% dr, but 7-12% more es/ block

Advice: in 3.16 with nice blockclusters and masteries use fullblock with 250% more average damagereductions of course!

Time of need vs Bastion of Hope

Time of need

+ Most important: you don't need cwdt and can use cws
+ 80% permament curseresistances is huge in cursed mapmods and frees up a bottle-suffix
+ each 4 seconds 2.5k es regenerations (equal to 7.5% es-reg average) is great too

Bastion of Hope

- Most important: stun-immunities raises from 60% to 100%: these forces us to prefer cwdt over cws - a huge downside as CI, cws is much better to use full level 20 frostshield (20-39% damagereductions, 4k/es sec) and sniper's mark autotriggered
+ You get 2% attackblock on the transferpoint
+ You get average 8-13% more attackblock
+ You can switch in 2 passives more because of 10% spellblock triggered

I don't super understand what you've got going on with your character. You have whispers of doom but only 1 curse, have taken energy shield nodes when you're still life based, etc. You also only have 2 labs.

Get some better flasks (you have some with 0-1 affixes) then do labs and start acquiring the core items of the build. I would honestly just try playing something else (I think chromino recommends domblow) before you have the pieces needed for this type of character to work (aegis aurora, memory vault, fang/CIP, skin, golden rule, CI, etc)
