spacecom again...

You did not read and used the build, so you do low dps and have no recovery and defensive layers, that's all.

Read the last posts and the tipps there given for you again.

I have been trying to put together this build and struggling a bit with a number of issues:
- I don't seem to have enough mana regen to keep up tornadoes, ball lightning and casting other stuff (molten shell, withering step, frostblink etc).
- My mana reservation is rough, currently down to 54 mana, which is so little i actually have to turn off an aura, cast chaos golem and then back on. Which is rough because the golem dies all the time, so it's feeling useless.
- I don't feel super tanky at all. The ehp may seem high but if I stop cyclonening or run out of mana to cast ball lightning or tornado I die very quickly.
- Damage is kinda okay-ish, it's around 9.5mill based on pob at the moment but it definitely doesn't feel like fast clear. Part of this is probably that my chest colours doesn't allow pierce or fork. I'm not sure if I can replace that, it seems like in the range of 30div to not lose the +2 level of minion gems (way out of budget). If I give the levels up it's like 30% of the damage reduction. Would be happy to replace predator with anything else if it improved clear speed.

I have 3 ideas to improve things:
1. keep leveling up, at 92 I can slot another medium cluster which should improve clear speed a bit - this is straightforward but painful while not feeling super tanky and also not having great clear.
2. I could probably do with better boots, but I'd end up just pushing my resist and attribute limitations onto it if that's the only thing I'm replacing.
3. Replace the belt with darkness enthroned and try to find jewels to make up for the resists and the strength loss AND also have a high roll mana regen. The thing is the rare belt is doing a lot of work at the moment so it'd be a struggle to make up both the resists and the str and still add more. I tried to POB this with what's available on the market and I am not convinced it's possible to achieve the stats the resists and the mana regen as well, even with 97-98 darkness enthroned. I could replace the rings with circle of ambition to fix the resists and focus and focus on just filling the missing attribs maybe? It'd also give about 36 more unreserved mana in exchange for about 10% dps.

Would be interested to hear what would you suggest? I have about 12 div to spend at the moment - farming is slow with all the issues. I'm sure the answers to at least some of these are in the guide, but I am struggling to find them :(. Pob is https://pobb.in/Xs5-hHfnsGOj

Thanks for the help in advance!

So I did both 2 and 3 in the end. I've realised I was missing the minion poison chance so now up to 18m dps presumably, although to be honest it still doesn't feel like great clear or tankyness. The mana issues are at least resolved for now. I'm still not sure how to take off from here, it seems like quite a big gap between where I am and what the endgame numbers look like. This is what I got to: https://pobb.in/s_JizVP0dTim

I have been using Vixen’s with Temp Chains implicit and when fighting bosses or thick rares I use the Mark which will trigger the Despair I have socketed in the gloves. For trash I don’t bother with the mark/despair. The mark cannot be socketed in the gloves

Great guide by the way - I am enjoying the build and the challenge of finding the next upgrades.

Awakened cast while channeling is the go-to I believe

Hey fireblankie!

Your 18M damage are very, very good for your lvl 88.
That is a very good done benchmark for lvl 88.

You should generate maximal HoA-virulences with all the poison-tattoos, regret 2 passives fatal toxins and you are still at great 95% poisonchances with spells.

In maps use pierce in the HoA-supports.
When you focus on speedy mapping try out asenath's gentle touch-gloves for clearspeed and beautiful watched chain-explosions.
Next you insert more of the medium clusters "pure agony". They are the most effective HoA-multiplicator beside increased HoA-levels. I personally would use more clusters also right now instead "corruption".
Get 4-passives medium clusters instead not optimal 5 passives. Get attr and resis on them. When you get 10 more dex you can switch the +30 notes to "practical application" and regret Alira when wanted. When you path for a es-mastery use "written in blood", one passive less and +10 str also.

Later with a few levels more the additional medium clusters will tripple your damage.

For tankyness a ghastly jewel with corrupted blood immunities (1 div) would help a lot when your flasks are down. Before craft "when you start bleeding" on your anti-bleeding flask and "when you become ignited" for a lot qol and better reaction-times. Get also bleeding avoidances on a ghastly jewel and use it in your darkness enthroned or get them on a ring when available.

A rumi`s concoction flask instead the granite flask is recommended in maps.
An elixier of the unbroken circle offers good uptimes of the buffed endurance charges in maps and tanky 800 ward each 2 sec. You can use it instead the manaflask or later instead the quartzflask.

Get the cheap awakened cast while channeling against stuns and change the shield mastery to ailment-avoidances.

Your best next upgrade is a skin of the lords. "Magebane" would be best or "divine shield". Divine shield, 2g 2r 2b, are around 4-8 div traded in these days.

A better watcher's eye with spell suppression would be a good upgrade too, but is in these days still expensive.
With a small cluster elegant form you could regret 5 passives "instinct" and would cap 100% spell suppression.

When you want further more tankyness use mistress of sacrifice instead plaguebringer in the ascendancy. Use arcanist brand - unearth - bone offering instead the chaos golem.
