[2.1] Asta's "Purity of Casting" - ~8.5k+ MoM pool ~24k+ (pre 2.1) non-crit Arc (5L) [Vids]

Hey,

the problem with mana is not the amount of mana you have. The problem with mana is that it costs too much to make it work.

Lets compare ZO with GR:

You going to have around 8% regen after blood dance nerf. Thats with 2500 ES 200 Regen.
If you go with GR, your maximum leech is going to be 500leech/sec.

It means, that you can do non-regen, half regen. These are 2 mods you going to meet very often on high level maps. Loosing the 500 Life regen doesn't matter.

If you go with dual curse, you not gonna leech ES and, ofcourse 2% leech would open a slot in your 6L, but then again, you are vulnarable to Curse Immunity.


As you can see, i try to build around certain map mods as well. Of course you can do all that stuff, but its going to hurt you hard in endgame mapping.

Hello,

This build seems pretty interesting and solid.

How would it look like when playing together with a "traditional" zombie/specters summoner?

me and friend will mostly play together

Summoners going to give you a meatshield, thus, you should focus on dps. I would swap out AA, curse aura and add Anger or Haste.

What order would you recommend working on the passive tree? Like, where to go first.

Always go for the DPS nodes. Maurader and Scion wheel is for end game. Just go DPS nodes at the top, then to the DPS nodes at Shadow. If you think you have enough ES, add MoM and EB. Ghost Reaver and Life Leech is also only at the start of mapping!

Hmm for HC that might be neglecting health a bit too much, but thanks for the rough guide.

also why not cast speed for cruel bandits?

Wasn't ncessarym its great for tooltip and all that, but in fact, if you reach the top end damage it really doesn't matter. So i just took the passive ;)

Points are precious, jewels can often be taken with 2 points and even a mediocre jewel is better than Alira's crappy cast speed. In Cruel, you always take the point.

Could you post a simplified tree for leveling instead of one tree that only has 5 remaining? Maybe like First 40 points then 80?

Along the same lines, do you think this tree is viable for leveling in a new league? Starting out with no currency, it will take me a bit to save up for PoH.

Sure, either you go with with a good staff, or if you want to be more safe, you go with an ES shield + wand, until you feel comfortable!
