" dsimek11 wrote: hello there! thanks for the guide, i respeced from toxic rain to this. I do terrible dps and i am constantly out of mana. the gear is shitty but i cant do yellow maps with this without dying. 5,300 mana, and my mana does not replenish enough. dmg is ok for packs but bosses are impossible. any advice is welcome. i read through all of the posts and i believe i am utilizing all of the skills correctly, something just doesn't feel right. I played inquisitor bb/bf first, that was terrible, squishy beyond words and then leveled toxic rain which is great but i wanted to do more dmg endgame nad then respeced to this one but it just doesn't do good in maps. maybe t1-2 i can two, three shot the boss then im out of mana and thats it.no sustain at all. Thnaks for the guide once again, appreciate it a lot! i would recommend joining the discord and reading through the resources, it seems like you're missing core fundamentals.

What should be my next upgrades to push the damage? Also, is there a priority guide for qualitying gems?? Thanks! spell damage shield with a high mana roll, and spell block. Get a 21% crown with blade blast area or arcane cloak effectiveness enchant. Pick up a Cerulean ring with flat life and mana, secondaries to look out for if you can find them would be conductivity on hit, cast speed or lightning damage. Also you can swap out your quicksilver to an atiri's promise for bosses, make sure you're lining up all cooldowns together Sigil stage 4 + arcane cloak + 3 intensify stacks and vaal RF if you have it, i also like to pop vaal grace at this moment so i can safely reach intensify 3 while spamming bfbb conduct on hit ring is QoL, you don't want to sacrifice mana/life for QoL ever Last edited by ChemistHCSSF#2067 on Apr 23, 2021, 4:53:29 PM	Posted by ChemistHCSSF#2067 on Apr 23, 2021, 4:50:52 PM Quote this Post

Hey guys, posting my current build here: https://pastebin.com/knREF7qR Feeling extremely strong with the exception of the T15 bosses so far just running out of mana. Find myself sprinting around the room waiting for regen trying not to get hit. What should be my next focus as far as gear? I have decent amount of EX on hand (not enough for clusters quite yet). Any guidance would be awesome thanks! Last edited by btking01#6327 on Apr 23, 2021, 11:59:39 PM	Posted by btking01#6327 on Apr 23, 2021, 9:07:53 PM Quote this Post
is it possible to level this as bf/bb with poet's pens at all, or only lightning trap? my damage is absolute garbage with lightning trap, despite correct links/bossing setup, so I'd like to do poet's pens if at all possible.

Everything was going just fine until tier 11 map. At t12 and t13 I keep dying randomly oneshotted and permastunned (even with pantheon) from syndicate encounters and ultimatums. the moments I try to cast sigil of power, enduring cry, vigilant strike, I get brutalized in a few shots. I have 7k mana and 4800 life but the damage is so obscene that it gets drained really fast. I am at level 90 and can't do a single map without dying. The fact that I'm always at low mana doesn't help at all with blade blast. I can't even imagine playing this in hardcore, the build may look tanky but actually can't reach the tankyness of the max block necro I played last league.
