How much ES should i have to feel comfortable with MoM if i don't run vaal clarity?

i dont think its wroth without vaal clarity, since you have many places to link at least 1 vaal clarity.. running with more es means more cost on bigger ES rolls on you gear.. and with MoM you will reach your ES soon to zero, and have problems with casting totems, if wanna fast clear speed :) and couldn't spam totems to trigger shaman's dominion (4 seconds after casting +100% crit chance for totems)

MF VIABLE?

I think you can pull off a decent amount of mf and still do damage

Thank you for the answer. I was too lazy to run vaal clarity, but i've just bought it and it works like a charm, even with one gem. Map runs just become faster and safer :)

Buy a second one too, since we have many places to link it, unless you are running many CWDT setups.. When it goes out, another is up.. with bigger pack size mods on the maps, its up 100% one of two, or even both..

Loving the build.

50k per totem on a 5link, can break 100k with Conc/Controlled Destruction and an Atziri flask, and it's pretty damn tanky. 5k life and 1900 ES on TSC is plenty. (I've skipped the life/mana regen nodes in favor of more crit multi). Ive also found room for 60% IIR. It's not much, but it's not getting in the way of anything.

I'm expecting 75k per totem once I can 6link my Carcass Jack, with a peak of 130k with Conc/Atziri flask.

My Gear:

Is it worth running southbounds without void battery? i feel my dps is lower

Is it ok to skip on taking Eldritch Battery if you are playing on HC? I have built up a nice amount of ES, and I like it for protection.

I think shadow start with dual ming's hearts and atziri's promise would be better than the spell damage start over at witch's corner?

It is still EHP for you when you take EB. So unless you have 2.5k+ I would say no. Also keep in mind you are losing either mitigation or damage when you dont reserve all your mana.

That is a lot of HP/ES you are giving up though. Sounds great in Standard though haha
