Pledge of Hands has greater spell echo, which stack with the spell echo gem.

Also your Clarity is linked to to other gems so it may be reserving more mana than necessary. The guide reads Clarity should not be linked.

Trying to find where the guide specify not to link it.... cannot find it...

are you sure about this ?

Same for flame dash, the guide specify that it is autocast ( by cast when damage taken support ) so, we should also limit it's progression ( level ) ?

The guide read that before one of the latest updates. It is no longer there.

At gem level 1 the Cast When Damage Taken (CWDT) gem can only support gems with a player level requirement up to 38. That is why we limit Frost Wall to level 10. At level 10 Frost Wall requires player level 36 and level 11 would put us over the limit.

Flame Dash at gem level 9 has a player level requirement of 39. Therefore at this gem level it will no longer be affected by CWDT. We do not want CWDT triggering our movement skill so this is good.

This used to be a Witch build, right?

Correct. Elementalist.

If you use pledge of hands do you need spell echo linked to ball lightning?

As others answered: yes you need it. But I highly recommend to have Orb of storms setup with Onslaught ready to further increase cast speed. You still can get stuck without being able to move for quite some time due to long cast sequence

Hey Enki, thank you for the guide. Just posting this to say that the number of added small passive skills does matter on the small cluster jewel. The ones with 3, take 3 points to take Openness.
