Elemental Buzzsaw & Static Strike - Solo the entire game, quickly and cheaply 1.1.0 update
" the total mana reserve for the this four is 205%. The build gives 34% from passives, so with a lvl20 Reduced mana you can do it (205*0,66*0,71 = 96%) I wonder though has anybody tried the five auras (the above ones + Haste) all at once since the patch? I counted and while their total reserve is 245%, even with an Alpha the end result was max. 244% allowed, but maybe the game engine is more generous when rounding the numbers. Or you will need a lvl21 RedMan. (Silly question: the Alpha's +lvl doesn't apply to the Reduced Mana, or does it?) |

" Well, you're missing 20% dps that way. Your dps should take a substantial jump when you grab it. Of course it's up to you if you'd rather occasionally have a spike of damage but overall it's not worth it. A list of all my builds and guides - http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1099189

" 5 auras That's what you're talking about doing. You need all the mana reserve nodes on the tree aside the ones below blood magic, an alphas howl and a lvl 21 reduced mana in a +1 gem item. It's pretty hard to do. A list of all my builds and guides - http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1099189

" A lvl21 in a +1 gem item (effectively lvl22), or a lvl20 in a +1 gem item (effectively lvl21)? According to my calculations an effective lvl21 Reduced Mana should be enough, it gives 245*0,58*0,7 = 99,5% |

According to my calculations an effective lvl21 Reduced Mana should be enough, it gives 245*0,58*0,7 = 99,5% EDIT: I see, according to the link (THX for it BTW!) the game doesn't simply add the 8% from Alpha to the nodes, resulting the initial (pre-Reduced mana) 58% reserve, but instead it take the 92% of the 100-34=66% from the passive, resulting a 61% reserve. |

I'm missing something here - can someone tell me what?
I'm going for Anger/Wrath/Haste and both Purities again but can;t see how I'm going to get it: Here's my tree at present: Thing is, with Anger, Wrath and Haste in the Alpha's with a L20 reduced mana and just one of the Purity auras in a +1 to gem Atziri boots (again L20 reduced mana) I have about 50 mana available. I'm levelling mana gems to corrupt but can't see how L21 in the boots will let me run 2 another aura. |

Thanks Mathil! I will head towards that now.

Thinking about it, the five aura all together would be almost impossible even with a +1 gem level item and with a corrupted lvl21 RedMan gem.
The "expensive" auras are the main damage sources, so those need to be in the Alpha, to get the +2 level boost. It means that one should use the lvl21 RedMan to pair them, to achieve the highest reduction. That leaves the +1gemlevel item with probably the Herald and Purity, which together have only 65% mana reservation, so the difference what could be achieved by the bonuses would be 1% of the 65%. |

Here's the video on my thoughts for what it is to Buzzsaw these days.
