Great to hear that you had a good league start.

Regarding the mana issues: It really is just a problem in a very specific case, namely if you didn't find/roll a Enduring Mana flask in Act 2 when you are supposed to use the 2 Herald auras. Other than that it's pretty much impossible to run out of mana with how the build is setup (you invest like 5-7 skill points this build normally doesnt need to acheive that - but it's a huge QoL.

Regarding the PoB: The guide is written for SSF. Everything important can be crafted (and the guide tells you how). So there shouldnt be a need for a "SSF PoB".

Let me know about your progress!

Having fun so far, I like Toxic Rain. Only problem with it is that sometimes I can't tell what it's hitting and it can be slow to reposition if you don't stop attacking and manually start firing someplace else. But that's whatever, I'm already planning on buying MTX for TR.

Last season I took a Skeleton Mage Necro to 96 doing mostly Expedition, Blight, Metamorph, Legion, and a smattering of other stuff. Is clearing Legions really that difficult, even with ballistas and poison? That would be really unfortunate. It should be good at the others though I assume?

Also, I see that the late endgame set-up is still dependent on having a mana flask? Is there not a way to sustain mana without one?

Regarding Legion: Yes, due to the fact that this is a Chaos DoT build the damage rampup is pretty slow and you most likely wont be able to clear Legions, especially considering the new Archnemesis mods. (PS: This build doesn't use poison in any way)

Regarding the mana flask: There are ways to get rid of it, but that's a trade league thing.

Here, your options are:

- Devouring Diadem [Helmet which provides Eldritch Battery (= ES protects Mana instead of life)]
- Replica Conqueror's Efficiency (Jewel with 'Non-Channelling Skills have -9 to Total Mana Cost')
- On top of that you can craft 'Non-Channelling Skills have -# to Total Mana Cost' on your rings using the Crafting Bench
- You still might have a source of mana regen on one of your items to make it work

Due to the fact that I play SSF it was never an option to go for no mana flask so don't have first hand experience here, to be honest. I will try to change that in 3.18.
