Also how do you guys get jewels? Life + minion damage is priced at exalts.

I'm taking white Cobalt jewel and start Alting it, untill I'll get + minion damage and + life / ES mods (but it can take up to 500 Alts to get it). Then regal it.
Or just + minion damage mod and another not bad mod: + cast speed, mana, mana regen, then regal it in hope, that I'll get good mods on the rare jewel. If not, then Scour it and start over again.

Here is my selfmade jewels:

Also, I'm using this one, untill I'll craft something better :)

Done my 1st Uber Lab yesterday at 87! :)
Died 2 times in the rooms by my own mistakes (dat fkn bleed traps + flame dash!)
The whole battle with Izaro was pretty damn easy...

Anti-bleed on a quicksilver flask is a good way to make it through traps without much work.

Yes (and I have even 2 antibleed flasks), but if you are not paying attention on debuffs (like I was) it wouldn't helps too much ))))

Have you considered a Victario's Influence for one more aura? :)
Boosts the damage significantly for the loss of hp, but I'm taking more hp nodes anyway since minion damage scales every aura at the same level.

It is an option, but trading down survivability on a build that is already pretty light on survivability isn't very attractive. You'd be adding wrath, most likely, which isn't really a ton of extra damage.

The hybrid route is just a lot more attractive to me. I'm sitting at an effective 8k hitpoint because of the extra energy shield (650 ES chest piece), and it makes a huge difference. I traded down damage to replace anger with discipline, and to replace some cast speed nodes with energy shield nodes, and I don't really miss the damage.

I should respec to hybrid, need to buy the items with ES first. Do you guys run alpha's howl when doing hybrid? Discipline is 35% so that would leave a lot of mana open.

I still use alpha's howl. I swapped clarity back to mana so I don't reserve any life at all.

Keeping clarity on life and using a yellow helmet is definitely a reasonable option though. You lose the 2 aura gem levels, but you can gain 40% increased minion damage. The life you can gain on helm is pretty much a wash 'cause of the life reserved for clarity.

I've been wanting to make the swap, but I've been holding out for a good bone helmet. Getting one with life and 2 resists is pretty cheap, so I should probably just do it, but I've been trying to find a reasonably priced one that has good ES, which would make it a clear defensive upgrade even with the life reserve on clarity.

I have this helmet now, so I don't think to use Alpha Howl anymore

I did Uber Izaro yesterday too... other than the tricky traps at the third fight... It was a easy run (if u move a lot) and I was even carrying a mate ;)

Then I tried Hall of Grandmasters

First and Second Halls no problem. Third Hall I met Kraith. I just couldnt scratch him. Crazy max block, CI, stupid amount of regen. A wormblaster helped me and then left... then I met Isildria. Same story. The both Grandmasters almost do no dmg. They are just ES tanky. Long story short I couldnt finish that Hall.. went to the last one... no problems. Only those two stand in my way go glory :/

PS: for all of this I used my 5L staff (no empower, with multistrike instead of splash)

can this do Shaper?

I've got Alpha's Howl and all needed mana reserv. nodes. Auras still 38% reserved.. can't run 4 auras, what am I doing wrong? @_@

EDIT: NEVERMIND, IM BLIND.
