Hey,

Love the build (transitioned over from EA Champ to Ele because SC and wanted the extra punching power of Ele EA).

I'm a bit confused about the aura setup, I've acquired a +4 Enlighten, but I'm still not able to run the aura setup shown in this PoB -
https://pastebin.com/djtRsSVv

Am I supposed to toggle auras based on situation, or run all?

First thing I see is your precision gem is at lvl 17. You should really try to have this much lower and get more accuracy on your gear. Every level precision goes up it increases your mana reservation. Get a 2-point arrow quiver, it has up to 30% accuracy rating as an implicit.
Other than that you have the 6 link setup correctly in your body armor.

I see you have mana reservation on your helm. If you still need to get it lower you can get a small cluster jewel with Mortifying Aspect on it. That will add a 50% mana efficiency to malevolence.

I have a 3 passive small cluster +grace evasion mastery and thats all i need to run 5 auras, and I only have an enlighten 3. This also allows me to have a blizzard crown for more damage rather than a helm with reservation implicit.

I hope this helps, good luck!

Loving the build.
Now at level 97.
I am at the point where I can either acquire the Forbidden Flesh/Flame for Shaper of Storms, or the Impossible Escape next to Precise Technique.
Which would be best for next upgrade?
Thank you for all your work!

I would go for impossible escape first. forbidden flesh/flame is more of a gimmick, bastion of elements is nice to have but not really needed and you loose 2 jewel slots you could use for max life, attack speed and fire multiplier etc.

I would also go with the impossible escape as well for the same reason. Once I dropped Bastion for shaper of storms I didn't really notice much of a difference. I may die a little more often but at lvl 97 I don't plan on going any higher.

Question. In the POB you link on page one your attack speed/skill duration is enough to give you 20 EA fuses even if you dropped to five totems. Could/should you do that to free the "watchtowers" anoint for something mode exciting?

By my calculation 2.55 (Att/sec) x 1.65 (duration) x 6 (totems) = 25.24
But you'd not lose anything by dropping to 5 totems which give 21.03 fuses.

I'd try it but anointing can be expensive to correct. Am I missing something? IS excess speed a good thing?

any gameplay advise for delving you guys have to share? What's working for you guys?

I maybe have done something wrong. I wonder how you guys reach 99 and 100 level. I keel losing at random internals, seems like something is wrong and there is no defensive layers at all. I am at 3900 life atm.

I have only some chaos resistance. I guess i must go full for it?

Most players hitting 100 are paying for chayula/5 ways.

If you die a lot, refund some damage nodes for more life and get better gear (+1 amulet and a better quiver will help a lot). I have 5260 life, 16k armour (73% physical reduction) and 63% chance to evade attack. You have some stun immunity? Chaos isn't an issue, but having positive resistance is a plus.

Maybe swap back to Bastion of Elements from Shaper of storms until you've the level you are shooting for.

Thanks, i will try some of these later.
BTW, is there any kind of leech that can help us with this build?

No leech, but i use vitality (regenerate 213 life per sec) and spam my life flask =)

So Love this build

I suck at PoB analysis and the like, so instead i started with this guide then stole ideas of POE Ninja. would appreciate any comments from you pro's out there to what i could change/improve.
