Hello!
This is my first caster character and till now everything was going pretty well and the playstyle with this build was enjoing thanks for the detailed build description. But now being on 92L and 14 map tier I cant progress because of death-death-death... just because of monsters shooting simultanuously, because of regular map bosses... I have Kitava Jewel and I was trying Healthy Mind Jewel (with 4.6 Life and 8.0 Mana), and I was trying without Health Mind and playing here and there with Passive Tree nods (more damage, more mana etc) - still death-death-death. Is it normal situation for my current gear in profile? Probably I am just a bad player failing to avoid mobs attacks? And to make some better gear - how? I have some currency but anything which is better then my current gear cost extremely high... I am about to give up to be honest... If you have some time and some ideas to help that would be much appreciated... Editado por útlima vez por Ledanika#2810 en 18 jul. 2020 10:53:29

" Oh, I should have posted my updated PoB: https://pastebin.com/Jm2PbE8L I see some folks have switched from Undertaker to Command of Steel. Undertaker has a flat 30% damage increase (if you've consumed a corpse), while Command of Steel give a 1% damage increase for every 1% chance to Block attacks (as well as providing +3% Block with shield). Undertaker also gives +2 corpses and a decent amount of Life regen, though. When is it advisable to switch over to CoS? PS. As you can see in my PoB, my Block is at 51%. I'm thinking I should switch to CoS now, yes? Editado por útlima vez por UtherSRG#3987 en 18 jul. 2020 11:57:56

I'm currently running Orb of Storms with CoH to run Conductivity. I have Increased Crit on that setup as well to keep Elemental Overload going. I think that works fine, but I'm wondering about getting Whispers of Doom and swapping Increased Crit out and putting Elemental Weakness in there instead.
Factors: * 20/20 EW will apply -44% to the enemy's elemental resistances. Is this better than EO's +40% to our damage? * Running EW, we will still sometimes crit, so we'll get both the -44% applied to the mobs, and the +40% applied to our damage * Some endgame bosses (which is where this really matters anyway, right?) have 66% reduced curse effectiveness. This drops EW's value down to -15%. * Need to spend 4-5 points in the tree to reach WoD. Hrm. I think I just talked myself out of switching over to EW. Anything I got wrong here? |

Noob question here:
I see end game body armor recommends 'Offering Effect', combined with the 'Mistress of Sacrifice' ascendancy which "Applies offerings to us with slightly lowered effect and increases skill duration." Does this mean I do not need any jewel to get the desired effect? |

" The effect you are referring to on body armour is "25% increased effect of Offerings". This means that all the effects implemented by (in our case) Bone Offering is increased by 25%. The effects are: * Base duration is 5 seconds * Grants Minions +(25-35)% Chance to Block Attack Damage * Grants Minions +(25-34)% Chance to Block Spell Damage * Additional 1 seconds Base Duration per extra corpse Consumed * Minions recover (11-594) Life when they Block Mistress of Sacrifices includes these two lines: * Your Offering Skills also affect you * Your Offerings have 25% reduced Effect on you The combination of the mod on the armour and MoS is that the three lines bolded above also get applied to you, and that the reduction in effect from MoS is neutralized. So you are correct, you need no jewel for this. Edit: I question whether the third bolded statement is applied, given the different wording compared to the other two. My assumption is that it does.

" I see Enki's update list both Undertaker and Mind Drinker. For me, switching to Mind Drinker gives a negligble DPS loss compared to Undertaker for a small uptick in Mana Regen. Not worth spending the oils. Switching to CoS would give me a 2.5% improvement in DPS, with a negligible loss of Life Regen. Still hemming and hawing about swapping to it. But it seems I'm just talking to myself here anyway... |

So I've switched up my build quite a bit now and I'm running both Cloak of defiance and crown of the inward eye.
The DPS has really gone up with some skill tree changes including thread of hope etc. DPS is currently really good with 4755 life and 8729 mana. Right now I'm trying to get a better weapon and gloves as prio. Around 3 mil DPS in PoB but I've probably missed something there. Full Awakened gem set up now as well. Gear:
Spoiler
Still using conductivty with CWDT, would love to get tip for something better to slot in. Anyone else got pointers? Editado por útlima vez por believers#3044 en 19 jul. 2020 6:07:50

" Maxed level Awakened Curse on Hit would do the trick just fine :). Get Conductivity on your ring and EW in the Orbs setup. |

" Once you dont run Crown of the Inward(which imo is a VERY bad helmet once you transition into lategame) you should run Crusader, since without Trans. of Mind you losing way too much damage. |
