Hello,

one more question: how do u manage not to run out of mana? I noticed that with Grace + Blasphemy it is hard to even cast AC + EoD after few whirling blades. I thought about vaal clarity or normal clarity to obtain ~50 mana regen.

Any tips?

I have exactly the same problem with you too.... I have only 9x mana left with two auras.
And I noticed that The Vertex cannot reduce mana reserve. So the aura setup should not be putting on Vertex.

Auras + Enlighten + Manapot after every pack works for me (its annoying at the start, but you get used to it pretty fast).

Otherwise use Bloodmagic on Essencedrain.

I see that in your video you use contagion, but I can't really see you explain much about it or see it in your gems other than CWDT.. Do you not self cast it at all like you do in the video?

Nothing you really need, since AC oneshots everything anyway.
Contagion on CWDT just makes it a little bit faster in case you get hit. It's just there because there isnt really anything else to link to CWDT (Except for maybe Blind on Tempest Shield)

I selfcast it in fracture maps though to bypass that 4 second AC cooldown.

That makes sense, currently just lvling so self casting contagion helps quite a bit. Do you know if abyssal cry dmg in parties is calculated before or after the monsters gets extra life?

Also, with only 122% life from the tree and whatever you get from jewels. Isn't that quite a bit low against hard hitting enemies?

One more thing, what about Growth and Decay in the tree by shadow?

It's calculated before the extra life. Same as the more monster life affix on maps.
It still oneshots every pack in a 2-man Party though. But you might need to kill 2 Enemies in a 3+ Party.

With 4,3k Life + 1,3k ES + 20k Armour + Enfeeble/Fortify, there is absolutely nothing in this game that will oneshot you - except those bosses with a slow attack animation like Vaal/Dominus/Malachai, but you dont want to get hit by them with any other build aswell :P

Most "oneshots" in this game are actually not oneshots. Its just an unlucky streak of high damagespikes/crits in a short amount of time. Maxblock + Aegis + the critreduction from Enfeeble pretty much avoids such situations.

The only thing that can kill you are elementbearers or high damage over time in a Vulnerability map (which is easily avoidable)

One more thing, what about Growth and Decay in the tree by shadow?

It's 52% Damage over time for 4 points. DoT only increases your Poison damage, while Chaos damage/Generic Damage increases your initial damage AND the poison damage aswell.

So a simple jewel with 10%Chaos + 10% Damage is better in terms of damage (which also only costs 2-3 Skillpoints) and you can get other usefull stats like Life/Block/Armour on it aswell.
