same here, perhaps mind drinker can resolve this

I'm into maps at level 70, respecced to bf/bb and have a 6 link.
the build feels pretty tanky and with double mana pot you can sustain the cost in maps, but damage feels pretty horrible, especially on yellow mobs and bosses
for example, I have survived 4 trial waves and still failed because I could not kill enough mobs before the timer XD

Having some mana problems on harder mobs yea, but one shotting mostly anything but doing t4 atm... and dying a lot to ultimatums, still don't understand about the vigil jewel for fortify btw, the end game pob this is what i get:



10 Str, 10 Int

Which is far from the 40 Str needed.


About mapping, i'm having flash dash as space bar, q for bladeblast, w for arcane cloack, left mouse move only, conductivity middle mouse, blade fall
right mouse, and sigil of power on e (since i don't understand general cry i'm not using it just lvling the gems)



For equips have pretty trash ones and if someone could guide me on what to get next, or to look after that would be incredible.

I just annointed Mind Drinker and it made a huge difference in mana sustain, definitely worth to throw it on your ammulet, it's just 5c for the oils as well. Well worth it in my opinion.

I understand that this dont have to be allocated 40 STR ? Anyway its working. Im using Vigilant Strike linked to Generals cry.

The Vigil needs 40 Strength in the radius but they DON'T have to be allocated, that's why it works in that spot without a problem.

Some tips for those that can’t get by with LT...seems like this build is not intended to tell you exactly how to level through the acts.

I have two mine setups:

4L swift assembly - LT - controlled destruction - elemental focus
4L multiple traps - LT - culling strike - advanced traps
2L bear trap - cluster trap
3L conductivity - hex touch- storm brand
Steel skin on LMB
Vitality
3L arcane surge - flame dash - smoke mine

Use the multiple trap setup for clear, and for the end of boss fights. I throw it in there during fight also cause I think it gives more shock? Idk

I really only use storm brand when I’m grooving but usually just spam LT to clear.

also how do we proc elemental overload?

Any leveling stuff please to help?

I don't see any strength node in radius on my POB neither (allocated or not), that's why so many people are asking about it I guess

EDIT: I'm talking about the "respect archmage POB, not the end game one, probably others too, I understand the confusion now, it's ok on endgame's one
