My own optimisation of the mageblood build, again with ~200m dps although its possible to drop 30~40m dps to get a lot more tankiness.

I am able to get my mana cost down to 6 through a combination of watcher's eye, flask and ring craft. With this, I am able to fit in herald of thunder for additional dps.

For more tankiness, its possible to drop the sulphur flask for stibnite, There is about 4 ~ 7 more flexible points in the tree by taking out 2 jewel slots + the mana reservation node beside charisma as well as swapping out wrath + herald for purity + defiance.

What content are you doing?

I would at least use a single point and take Magebane to ensure your spell suppression is capped.

That was a mistake. If I craft another non-channel on my amulet, I will be able to drop mana cost down to 0 and be able to take out the 8% mana reservation node. The last 2 point would go to magebane and the big life node around the lethal pride area.

I guess the upside would be that I will be able to do no regen map mods.

If only I can squeeze out 11% more aspd so that I can drop that duration node. Its possible to use precision + mal watcher's eye without the clarity cost reduc, but, I would need enlighten 5 to have enough mana.

This is the issue I find with going the mana / mana reservation route... you have to really build around it and sacrifice other aspects.

You do get a huge amount of flexibility as I can easily swap auras in and out for all scenarios. The downside is that you really need to squeeze as much as possible out of your gears to be able to take advantage of the skill points that you save.

Btw, if you change malevolence into your divine blessing link, you will get more dps and duration. Then you will be able to drop some aspd for dot multiplier.

Does "+% fire damage" affect EA or only fire damage over time multiplier?

Yeh squeezing those gems can be tough.

By not running hextouch, flammability, elemental weakness, clarity, precision you can also save 5 gem slots which could add some possibilities and flexibility.
