50ex 3.56 Aura effect - Level 90 https://pastebin.com/0X1xXPcC 75ex 4.0 Aura effect - Level 95 https://pastebin.com/cD2D58jR 500ex High budget spark https://pastebin.com/ffBc6qBF 120ex Budget Spark, 3.65 aura effect, upgrade clusters for 4.0, see upgrades section https://pastebin.com/rV98Z59K I recommend the immortal transition as soon as possible, try at level 96 using 2 Voices and when you have 4.0 aura effect. See the last section. The guide will show how to attain 4.0 aura effect. Which Skill to use
Arc vs Spark vs Ethereal Knives
Vaal Arc - Has good clear, chains, great boss and single target DPS, Vaal arc is good for legions, strongboxes and bosses Spark - It expensive, needs more Reduced mana reserved and helm enchant Spark needs Malevolence aura and it gets costly to run it at budget Spark has good clear, back and front, and good preloading of DPS in bosses and Very High DPS in long fights Ethereal Knives - Great clear, expensive. You need to use Watcher's eye with Physical to lightning conversion. This watcher's eye costs 10 exalts If you want to use EK, just remove arc and use this. The build is the same. No change to items. Ball lightning - It gets complicated, you don't want that at budget. Leveling guide

Could you please help me understand how to use Prism Guardian when you pick CI?
|
|
" You need to stack 75% reduced reserved mana. Prism guardian provides 25% reduced mana for gems socketed inside it So this is total 100% reduced mana But prism reserves life, so it reserves 0 life. And you have 1 life. You have more life than needed to reserve auras in prism guardian. Editado por útlima vez por Akshay en 15 nov. 2020 6:15:18

Hey, why both amulet and belt need open sufix to craft avian? it is correct or mistake?
|
|
" I just verified, You can't craft Aspect of the avian on the amulet. It has to go on the belt. Because amulet has Grants Clarity. And an item can't have two Grants skill mods. Editado por útlima vez por Akshay en 15 nov. 2020 14:20:59
