Hello, 1st, thanks for your build, it's clearly good.
But I have some problems with it :
The way you socket ur stuff, where and how is totally unclear to me.
I read on your 1st post that you play a 6L Ice spear, then it's Winter orb then the gems aren't the same from one post to another post...
The only item I don't have is Frostferno.
And I'm having trouble to play with Hatred + Herald of Ash + Herald of Purity.
When all the 3 of them are active, I don't have any mana left.
I don't think having Frostferno will change anything to this.

So what did I do wrong ?

Thanks for your concern.

I can't find anywhere in the guide that displays 2 different setups for the gem links, perhaps you could copy paste it for me in case im blind? :S

Regarding mana, you're suppose to take the mana reserve reduction nodes on the top left corner as displayed in the guide to make room for mana! :)

Do note that I rarely respond on the threads and that you can faster reach me via the youtube video, discord or twitch!

If you're playing the witch build version Mastermind of Discord gives 25% reduced Herald mana reservation. So I didn't run Purity until I achieved that ascendancy.

@Ghazzy : The build on your first post is quite clear.
But reading all the posts, I can see different builds :/

@Jancela : I have Mastermind of Discord, but still, Herald of purity take me 19% of my mana, Herald of Ash take 29% and Hatred 50%.
I'm left with only 9% of my mana.
I have a total of 1070 Mana(lvl 71) Having hard time getting more mana.
When all 3 are active I'm left with less than 50Mana...
Is there a way to reduce the reserved mana ? or I need to drastically increase my mana pool ?

*checks my gear* Purity - 19%, Ash - 19%, Hatred - 50% -> so I have 12% left over which in numbers is 115 out of 963 mana. I'm only running a 4L WO for a cost of 8 mana and ice spear at 6L is 80 mana so a mana/hybrid pot is in flask rotation.

Nothing on my gear or tree has reduced mana reservation other than the ascendancy.

If your pool is 1070 you should have more than 50 mana left over - is one of your heralds linked to a support?

ur herald of ash is probably linked to a support gem it should be 19% not 29%

Those are not part of the skill tree setups in the guide, in either the PoB versions or the PoE website skill tree ones.

They are not mentioned anywhere in the guide as far as I can see.

Shit you're right. I must have been looking at another build guide thread, sorry for the confusion.

Make sure you don't have any support gems linked to your auras and if you still are short on mana pick up "deep thoughts" till your lvl sorts it automatically as you don't need it for this build. Do keep in mind that Ice Spear is meant to 1 or 2 shot bosses so you're not expected to spam it!

Thanks, indeed, the problem was a support gem linked to them...

Hey guys,

I'm having some serious issues getting my guides updated in time for this league. As many of you know, I'm not a full-time streamer I work parttime job(s) to make ends meet and a few weeks ago I lost the job giving me guaranteed shifts. With this in mind I signed a contract a bit over a month ago to work at a rock festival here in Sweden (Sweden Rock Festival) which is where I'm sending this message from.
I've borrowed Hannas laptop so that I could make sure the guides got updated in time, however, I'm working 16-20h shifts with almost no sleep and just now finished the patch notes before heading to bed. So without looking at the tree in detail I will therefor give my verdicts of the builds further down in this post on all my build guides.

I sleep in a caravan during the event with 0 power supply so getting the computer charged is my main priority for tomorrow so that I could hopefully get PoB working on this shitty Apple laptop and I hope I can get the guides updated before Legion releases.

With this said and before I leave comments below specific for each guide I've posted this to:
Myself and many others are discussing builds, reviews, my guides over at my discord server www.discord.gg/GhazzyTV where you are more than welcome to get help from myself & many other PoE veterans on a daily basis, specially now before a league release. I'm able to get my phone charged at the work place but I'm unable to have the laptop there for a variety of risk reasons,

I hope you can forgive this one shitty situation out of the 6 years I've been making sure build guides with quality is available for the community and hope I can deliver on this release as well..





This build got completely destroyed by the Elementalist nerfs and will therefor not be added as an updated guide starting by patch 3.7

If I go with Shroud of Lighless, what skill gem would you recommend unlinking for Ice Spear?
