No the gem only affects weapon attacks. CH/M nodes affect spells.

do you think it would be worth it to drop the shavronnes armor and spec into CI?
ci has awesome ES nodes behind it =/ ign: ClamSlammers

" This build is built around the central concept of using Righteous Fire (RF) with not much health so that the minus percentage life per second (-%hp/s) is easy to deal with, using Zealots Oath to push percentage life regen onto a large energy shield (hence using the energy shield's total instead), counteracting the RF's -%hp/s. RF gives a massive spell damage buff, but cancels if your health reaches 1. The build is also built with the central concept of using 'Low Life' (<35% total health) items and effects like Pain Attunement, Redbeak, Wondertrap, etc. Chaos Inoculation (CI) is great for 'not much life, but high energy shield' builds because it negates the one fatal weakness of these builds - chaos damage. Chaos damage is a problem because it ignores the energy shield. CI gets around this issue by making you immune to chaos damage, however, it also reduces your life to 1. If you only have 1 health you can not get to 'Low Life' (35% of total), since that would be 0.35 health and there is no way to do this. You also can not use RF because it cancels at 1 life. The new Shavronne's armour also deals with the chaos issue, this time by making chaos not ignore the energy shield. Since your health is not affected you can also use Low Life and RF. The trade-off is that you can not use another chest piece instead, and that you still take chaos damage (which is more difficult to get resistance for). This new patch also means that there is a very powerful 20% more energy shield passive that you can only get by also getting CI, so that is another trade-off of using Shavronne's armour instead. TL;DR - This build essentially needs Shavronne's armour, and is absolutely pointless with CI. Last edited by Aimeryan#0430 on Mar 13, 2013, 5:02:01 AM

" That's a great explanation. It's also worth noting that you cannot use righteous fire with CI because righteous fire immediately ends as soon as your hp is 1. I agree with the new patch there actually is a tradeoff now between CI and more damage- you will have 20% less energy shield and thus life doing this build than the equivalent CI build. Prior to the patch it was essentially same survivability as CI, 300% times the damage. IGN: Argonaute or Argohuskar

Deciding between the bandit rewards (normal) at the moment.
40 life with this build seems unhelpful, perhaps even a hindrance. 40 mana doesn't seem necessary given freezing pulse and ice spear's low mana costs. That leaves either the +8% to resist all elements or the skillpoint. I am leaning towards the resistances. |

" Oh right I should've mentioned this. I personally took Skill point, Cast speed, Skill point but now I regret not taking the +40 mana. I didn't dedicate much of my passive build into mana management, because I felt diving into the witch starting area for more mana/mana regeneration wasn't worth it. Instead I'm forced to get mana on gear, which can make itemization annoying. Overall I feel like both the skill point and 40 mana are good choices- if you don't mind having/using mana potions and/or you're rich enough for dream fragments then the 40 mana probably isn't necessary. I personally don't think the 8% resistance is worth it, simply because its so easy to get resistance on gear and your passive tree itself gives you a lot of base resistances from the Templar passives and eventually the shadow nullification passives.

Argo, great build and use of Shavronne's. I'm thinking of adapting my Templar spark caster for the same concept. If you have a spare minute to check out my base sparked build I'd appreciate your view?
Thanks, Petrov. |

" Oh hi Petrov, big fan of your ranger build, it's what let my ranger fund the gear necessary for this build :) Anyways your build looks really interesting- I didn't think about spark that much when choosing a spell build but I agree that it can definitely be just as good with this RF core build and the playstyle will likely be a lot safer than charging in meelee range and spamming pulses. I mentioned with the updated guide that the core Righteous Fire build of Zealot's Oath/Ghost Reaver/Elemental adaptation/Pain attunement can easily be converted into any type of caster build and maintaining the same massive buffs (well maybe not EK, physical reflect would be impossible). Your build already almost incorporates covers all of the necessary territory- you would only need 9 points respecced to take Zealot's Oath, Ghost Reaver, Pain attunement. The main issue however will be converting all the health nodes into energy shield. This build essentially takes the passives of a CI build, and for this build to work you need about less than 600HP and more than 4000-5000ES. If you can afford all the regrets I would suggest a passive build like this http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgUBAP0CcQSzBVsMfQ5IEH8RLxGWE54UTRSwFvMXUBpsHRQkiyY8J-0vnTlSOjA9D0NjRtdHBkwtTdhObVgHWPVdxl3yXp9fKl9qYG1mT2aeZ71wUnDVcU10VXvXfEt8u3zOfjN_xoFJgW-CHoM4iEKIa4uMjDaMdo5kj0aP-pmams-boZ2AnaOdrp3EnjykkacIrJiyOLUEtve2-rcxuJO8N8BRwcXDbcT2xp7Q0Nvn3fPhc-OE5CLrY-vk7BjsGe0g7m_yHfPd96b3wffX-tL8qw== That should work well enough to convert it to a RF build. There's still 3 more skill points you need to take out from there but I'm not sure what kind of cluster you would want to take out. I do really like whispers of doom in your build and I definitely think it's worth the 5-6 extra skill points in mine to pick it up, it'd just I don't know what I should cut and I'd need like 20 regrets to respec for dual curses.

" Invalesco's doing it too? Tarnation. Here I was, thinking I'd finally found my special snowflake. grumble |
|

might be pre-empting your updates here, but would this build be viable with say an Arc > Shock Nova Lightning approach rather than a Freezing Pulse cold build?
keen to see your new Curse build too as that would possibly make this build truly insane! |
