First of all, thanks for the guide!
I followed it and had fun with a character.

But my stats not quite the same, despite my tree and gear are pretty much similar.
What am i missing?


hello!

Please provide a POB and let us know which stats you are concerned about and we can take a look for you and see if anything jumps out at us.

Which gems should i get first to 21/20?
Is it worth to pick ice nova 21/23?


Ice Nova itself it actually not that impactful given its cost. You can certainly upgrade it but you will do more with your currency upgrading a bunch of the below first IMO


Here are some gems that can benefit from more levels:

Eternal Blessing 21/20 - increased aura effect

Aura of choice 21/0 - better stats of your aura (most of the auras do not benefit from quality)

Enfeeble 21/0 - Better curse stats

Punishment 21/20 - Better curse stats and get quality here for defense

Sigil of Power 21/20 - Better stats and get quality here for defense

Frost Shield 21/0 - Better stats, you can decide if quality is useful, it is marginal at best IMO

Conductivity 21/0 - Better curse stats

Assassins Mark 21/20 - Better curse stats and quality is mandatory

Automation 21/20 - Better uptime for Arcane Cloak, quality recommended

More Duration 21/20 - Better uptime for Arcane Cloak, quality recommended

Arcane Cloak 21/20 - Better stats, quality recommended

Almost all support skills for Ice Nova can be 21/20 accept for Power Charge on Crit if you are using it, that only needs to be 20/20
Can you add map rejex so we know which mods to avoid while doing T16 and T17?

thank you!
Should I invest my next passive points into Arcane will (and 2 mana regen nodes on way) or should I buy cluster jewel with doryanis and put my points there?

Can you provide a POB that shows 52/55 for block? I took a quick peek at what I thought was your character (which may be wrong) and it shows 88/71 for block.

Just to make sure we are comparing apples to apples:

1) make sure your Rumi's flask is on

2) Know that the in game character sheet does not calculate "lucky" block chance for you. The max the character sheet will show you is 65/65. POB will do the lucky calculation for you to see your true block chance.

think this is it. i saw wrong, its 55 block attack and 42 spell block

hmm, maybe it's the lucky block chance that's not showing[/quote]

I don't get it........ It shows 88/71 block to me. Are you sure this is the correct POB?

I copied this picture from the POB link you gave

You're right! i was thinking it wasnt that much since it showed much less in game.

jumped onto a map and it felt very tanky.

Well, then i will just thank you for your time. really hope i also can get this character very strong :D

As long as you have life leech on your gloves, you can save adding the Cluster until later. Arcane Will is still used in the Large Cluster setup so you won't be wasting any points if you want to path there first.

There is not really a right or wrong choice here so do what makes you feel best :)

Less mana (289 vs 329) and less devotion (150 vs 170).
I think its because timeless jewel.
It changese some nodes to give +1 max res.

no you don't need to get a different one. It is entirely up to you.

The number on the jewel represents a random seed that will determine what happens to your nodes.

This is a good article to read to learn how to search for the seed you want for your build
