" Perfect. Really perfect. No death in t15-t16 after changes. But I have a little mana regen problem. Maybe it's time to go for cluster jewels. I've 2,6k mana regen. How did you get 3,9k mana regen? And one last question. After activating RF my life stabilizes at 3,202/3,216. Is this a problem? |

Haven't read all 2k pages of posts, so sorry if it was already discussed, but considering we are going archmage, which is better: Unleash vs Spell Echo ?
Or are they inter-changeable ? I guess Unleash would require 4 more points spent to get Thunderous Salvos, and another needed stats on helmet (+1 seal), so is the higher investment worth it ? |

Hello! I'm posting my second reply now and wondering how to increase my mana regeneration from this point. My mana regeneration right now is about 1500/s according to in-game stats but it feels like I need even more to sustain my mana during longer fights. Any advice appreciated.

" Cluster jewel is very big on this build. It grants us a massive amount of mana and mana regen. Try to get jewels with Scintillating Idea and Mindfulness. RF making you have 10-20 less HP is just a visual bug. You are still at Full Life. |

" Tried this, RF just drains all of my mana because of MoM. How much mana regen do you need for this to not just completely degen your mana to 0? |

Where do I get Vitality and Clarity after having killed Brutus in Act 1?
I could only choose Flame Dash as reward. |

" I followed the build guide religiously up until the point I hit red maps, having hit a wall where I was being destroyed by regular mobs and bosses became extraordinarily difficult. The damage output of the build was fine, it was my health that was being demolished with no way of stopping it from happening. Granted I still can't afford a Cloak of Defiance (7ex atm), but all of my other gear was conforming to the build guide. I found your profile to be the saving grace for the build. Made the following changes following your template, and now I can run red maps with much more leniency: - Changing the +30 strength node skill point to The Agnostic so that I can sacrifice my mana instead of life pool due to the mana regen being so high. - Moving pure Pure Talent Viridian Jewel to the left side of the tree. - Slotting Healthy Mind Cobalt Jewel in the former slot of the Pure Talent. This was the key to The Agnostic working, as the expanded mana pool means I can afford to run it. I lose a small amount of HP but the mana with The Agnostic makes up for it. - Finally upgrading to a Crown of the Inward Eye Prophet Crown having to shuffle my resistances. All of this together resulted in an actually viable build in red maps to me. If I start to struggle again I may switch my Ascendancy points from Heart of Destruction to Bastion of Elements, but I'm not even sure if that's needed once I get Cloak of Defiance. From experience, do others with Cloak of Defiance feel it makes a significant defence/damage bonus to the build? |

" Just want to say thank you, have been really struggling to make the build work and it just has not been. I was worried that once getting to the 90s the survivability would be a problem and it sure has been. Hasn't helped that I horsed up my atlas to a shocking extent and am also now level 90 and have not found all the trials yet. I love the playstyle of arc and it's the only build I play so you have pretty much saved the league for me. Now that I can actually clear higher level maps I can hopefully start generating some currency to start getting some better gear. I dropped a Cortex earlier today and instead of selling it for 180c I decided to run it in hopes of a Bottled Faith to sell so I could buy all the maps and gear I need but got two unfavorable mods and couldn't even complete the stupid thing. |
