Hello! here are some comments for you to consider (to go along with the upgrades you already mentioned in your first post)

1) Your Militant Faith could use a big upgrade. Both the mods you chose do not benefit the build. Try to find at least 1 mod, and preferably 2 mods, that help (man, ele damage, area damage etc)

2) Your boots are missing the eldritch implicts. Try and get the Action Speed implicit and if you can't get that, settle for Chaos res.

3) Get a perfect rolled Rumi's.

4) When upgrading your rares, keep your eye on Dex. You have way over invested in Dexterity. You only need 83 dex to run the build. And you could get away with as little as 61 dex because there is no huge benefit making GMP level 20.

5) Upgrade Wrath, Eternal Blessing, Enfeeble, and Conductivity from 20/20 to 21/0 (none of these gems require quality so don't waste money on it, the level is far more important than the quality).

6) When you can afford it, look into the 20/20's that require quality and upgrade to 21/20

Since I had a dead mod on my Militant Faith anyway, I picked this up cheap to replace the one I had, just in case I need any extra help getting to max shock as fast as possible on the fatties.

a friend of mine quitted the league and he gave me an haunted wand :D

(yes, i swapped punishment and assassin's mark again 😅)

this prompted me to make some changes to the build:
1. i gained so much cast speed that now, following andy, i'm using the intensify mastery instead of the cast speed one
2. i switched to zealotry and i bought a double mod zealotry watcher's eye
3. i've started to use a real ele weakness.

these changes made me almost double my dps (from 75M to 131M)

now i kinda want a mageblood :D

btw, i updated the configuration of the pobs in the guide to the de facto standard that we are using (3 inspiration charge, 60% reduced effect of punishment etc etc)

oh that is pretty!!

Congrats, the build looks so good! :)

I mentioned this in a PM to you yesterday but if you want, we can add a Mageblood version to the first post, for people looking for an end game version, as we have multiple people either playing it or interested in that version.

Trying to figure out where I might have some holes. Anyone mind taking a look?

1. I know I need Anathema, just need to get some more res to make it fit.
2. I don't have enough currency for The Light of Meaning or Bottled Faith yet but I know I need those.
3. Eventually need to get lvl 21 gems.

Mostly just looking for thoughts on if I'm overlooking anything else major that I could shore up quickly.

Looky at my next double corrupt! (all skills in shield are AOE)

Yeah, the uber build gives some cool ideas for sure. I'm looking at the boots...

Btw if you don't know what to put in the Svalinn besides Sigil and Frost Shield, try Enduring Cry and allocate the +1 max endurance charge node. Uptime is very good for 20% quality (=40% increased recovery rate. I also use the eater implicit on boots: "Enduring cry has a 20% increased recovery rate".
This improves tankiness quite a bit due to constant life recovery and endurance charges are OP this league anyway. Note that Svalinn doesn't trigger the skill, it's self-cast.

Thank you for the suggestion.

how are you getting life regen from the Endurance Charges?

The life regen is not from endurance charges, but from enduring cry. Up to 10% per second. Besides that, enduring cry generates endurance charges, so you can benefit from the +1 max endurance charges on the tree. The added tankiness is quite noticeable.

With my new shield I decided to swap over and start using Enduring Cry.

The up time is excellent of the Endurance charge itself. It is basically 100% uptime as long as I am near an enemy.

Am I correct in that there are two separate parts to this gem in terms of uptime?

A) Creates an extra Endurance Charge, which appears to last 10 seconds
B) gives a life regen buff, which lasts 4.3 seconds

If this is correct, can I recast Enduring Cry before the Endurance Charge runs out to start the life regen again?

I should test this in game with the character screen open, that should tell me now that I think about it.


edit: OK that does appear to be how it works. Now I just have to get in the habit of clicking my space bar often enough to maintain decent uptime. It should come with practice..

Hi guys,
Can someone give me some advice what to do with my skill tree?

If I can gather the currency I can change a few nodes, like Ash, frost and Storm + Forethought = 8 skill points + 2 from lvl so I can allocate a large lightning cluster with life leech, so I can change my gloves implicits and of course add 2 jewels like Storm Shroud for immunity, Watchers Eye or just good rare jewey..

I feel I should upgrade my weapon after that.. But, the haunted by torm spirits is so f'ing expensive :/ and I feel I lost my mind getting a Mage Blood already xD.. Any other tips to maybe make a good weapon?

Suggestions are more than welcome <3

hello!

Please post your POB and we can take a look.

I made a cheap large cluster as place holder - hoping to get the right one later.

Hey all here! - thanks for this great build - first season for me and i like it very much.

Could you please check my build and check if i am missing something _substential_? :-)

It does not feel as smooth as it should i think..

https://pobb.in/0KeHq3sBCxDV

Things on my list (with my prio order):
- Stygian belt and jewel
- Kitava with correct sockets and +1 charge
- The Light of Meaning
- enchant on weapon --> is my weapon good enough for this?
- quality on gems, flasks

Thanks you all very much!
