If you could stop ignoring me for a moment i would like to debunk the mystery behind this CI+EB+MOM.

When ever i attempted my hp says 1/ES(ammount) ES/ES and when mob hits me i take damage from ES first!

In your video you get hit on mana always first??
and your HP says 1/1 ES/ES?

Whats going on?

i even posted image. My hp and es behaviour is completely different from yours.

I suspect this is a bug from console version, in my case my HP & Energy Shield are the same as the video

But i am on PC. Not console.
I just use gamepad.
I also tested with keyboard right now.

My hp says 1/1 without Everlasting gaze but when i equip gaze my life goes to 1/ES. ES/ES

This has been addressed multiple times.

You take energy shield damage FIRST then Mana then life. You dont see my energy shield moving because everything is dead/stunned so I dont get hit. The mana is moving from me casting.

As someone who also plays this, one of the main issues I'm seeing is easily getting stunned or frozen by mobs. Because our stun and ailment thresholds are based on our (pre-CI) max HP and we don't scale that, we are easily affected and can get chain-stunned quickly in, say, a Breach. Charms can help, but slots are hard to come by, so has anyone of you tried taking the Asceticism notable, in order to combat stuns? It's 6 points away from the current tree.

On an unrelated note, I finally got my 5th support slot on Spark, and I'm currently debating on links. Here's what I have (fairly standard):

Arcane Tempo - Pierce - Wildshards - Acceleration - Lightning Penetration

This is with the Three Dragons version of the build. I do own Kitoko's, but I've played around with Electrocute support in the past and haven't been overly satisfied with it. Seems to take too long to stun someone, compared to freeze.

I don't use MoM, so my mana regeneration is high enough to sustain Spark even without Inspiration, but I'm debating whether Wildshards is even worth it at this point. Spark has a lot of projectiles by itself, so that slot might be better suited for something else, but I'm not sure what. Maybe Glaciation for faster freezes?

/edit: I've put in Considered Casting for now. Right now it changes my cast speed from 0.28s to 0.33s, but 40% more damage is a lot and I think it's worth it. I'm not playing with trigger gems anymore, so I had this one available.

I have been able to acquire an everlasting gaze but only with a 20% es from mana roll. Is it still advised to be used? Currently, my stats are a little bit worse with gaze than with my regular rare +2 all spell skill amu: 1,1k life, 1,1k es, 1,9k mana. 4k Spark tool tips DPS unbuffed.

I also own Kitokos but I die much more often with it since the stun seems to build much slower than the three dragons frost. Additionally, the -% fast cast really hurts my dps.

I am currently thinking of selling the amu and use the currency to upgrade my other gear because it is not very good.

Do you have any insights on this?

25+% on Gaze is preferable because the difference can be huge but it is very expensive. I still think 20% is better than not using it. You should try to get 2x Breach ring with huge mana roll and use +50% mana quality to increase it to 200+ mana on each ring at least (240+ preferable) and get mana regen there too. You can see on my rings how much mana they give and it will boost your ES and dmg a LOT.

I switched to Kitoko and Gaze + CI + EB + MoM around lvl 85 I think. I was using The Three Dragons till then and was slowly preparing the gear to make the switch.

Here is my gear and stats + skills. It might help you with gearing (what stats on which items to look for). My Skill tree is basically the same as DeerFart posted here earlier.

Also one tip that made my life so much easier: If you are close to dying or you know you are gonna die (ES gone, you are CCed/stun locked and mana is going down fast) just press ESC and Exit game. ESC will pause your game and if you quit the game from there, you will not die, you won't lose map and you can just return to map if you have any remaining portals and not lose anything. I was close to dying twice in past 3 days (both times in breach) and this saved me both times.
