1.1 Updated [HC/Inv] EB/MoM/AA SuperTank Spectral Throw (Works with Mjölner!!Tested!)

I took MoM on level72 without yet going to up so I will need 9 more nods before get EB. I have decent mana and manareg but not impressive.
I can say it makes farming much faster and I am very tanky on my own level but I have had big problems with new content and against harder mob since I can't attack effectively and drain mana. For example whereas Kole was difficult some time ago it's now very easy and I hardly take damage at all. On the other hand I was in museum lvl 68 map (I think). Met double boss in the end but was not able to take them down safely even used portal to escape several times. Dmg income was just too much and I was not able to dps safely.

How big manapool u got? I got 493 mana right now with 22.4 manareg per second without taking those int nodes. I am little bit worried that my dps will dry since I can only take +10 int nodes next 9 levels :/

I have a strange problem...I rushed to EB on level 77 and got really insane chestplate (Evasion 1239, ES 424). Now got 1379 mana and mana reserved 666 after Clarity and Grace.

On the other hand 30% dmg reduction doesn't seem to be enought when I move on from lvl66-67 maps since I got only 3.5k health. Also, Double Strike dps is only 6410 after rushing so fast to "combo".

So, now I have PLENTY of unused mana. Do you guys get any idea how to use mana more efficiently? I am thinking some expensive spell which doesn't need much +spell damage. Either to boost my dps or survival significantly.

Now, I can take almost only +life nodes but still I am not sure can I go over 5k health fast enought :/

Any ideas?

EDIT: tested to take Arctic Armour running now AA, Hatred (raised dps to good level again but can run this only on easy maps, otherwise damage income would be too huge compared to free mana in this point), Grace and Reduced Mana. I can say that my character started to be insanely good compared to one without auras. I need to investigate how far I level arctic armour. Why this is working is not bc any single skill but probably bc got nice amount of armor (10622) and mana (1379) buffed and can still dps over 8k. Also can skip that 2% mana leech node bc got already 4% mana leech by equipments. That will be significant I guess.

Hi!

I've been following this guide for my very 1st character in POE and its working as intended! Currently I am at lvl 59 and just started a3 at mercilles. However I kinda would've liked to go HP/reduction instead of EB/MOM. Idk why, but it seems kinda strange to me, at least for the moment. Could any 1 tell me, where should i put my points (best of all - on a linkable tree) to go as tanky, but without EB/MOM?

My current gear:

And current tree:

Im going to pick Leather and Steel next, but don't rlly go where to go next. Also, if that's any help, I'm playing with my friend all the time (Groundslam/HS marauder).

I don't really have much currency at the moment, so any tips where should I farm after piety kill? (I've heard its pointless to go dominus without good gear?)

Thanks a lot for any advice and I apologise for my english as it isn't my 1st language.

well for your gear i think you need to get better gear vs 5l.. 5l are not necessary.

you spec is good just keep goin at it get more armor then work up for mind drinker/eb then get mom. plus the mana/life nodes

my mana is 533 after reserves and i dont have many issues. only time i get into trouble is lightning thorns. im also sitting at 71.5 mana regen and the mind drinker node for mana leach is a must have. i can tank kole in lunaris 2 and bruttus in dungeon map. my dps is sitting at 8269 double strike and 1222 spec trow. no issues with lack of dps for me (and i havnt picked up all the dmg nodes yet)

im sure different set ups can work but remember this is for a basic easy cheap build. if you have TOO much mana i would try tanking kole/bruttus and see how the mana pool holds up. i can do it with my shitty gear heh. i also sit at 4.6k hp with my 1k mana.

Curious why Oak in normal? Why not just take the skill point and put it in an HP node? Eight percent to max life matches the forty HP bonus when having only five-hundred HP. And looking at the sheet, you have plenty of areas where you could easily access another HP node. This will rapidly go up. So I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing but it doesn't seem like it.

First, there aren't 'plenty' of them.

Second, remember that this is 40 base HP. This means that if you have, say, 200% multiplier for HP it's 120, and so on, while a 8%node is just some more on your multiplier for your base HP.

More Base HP = Good.

Thanks for posting this build and guide. What would you think about taking the "increased mana" nodes on the way to Shaper instead of the 8 percent life and 2 strength nodes? This is Domination, so not HC.

Thanks again.

how do you deal the lack of dexterity? dex on gear?
Im thinking on grabbing +30 dex from the skill tree, because im seeing im not gonna be able to lvl up grace.
Im lvl 65 with 100 dex. i have 50 more dex from gear.

Also hwo do you get more dmg. i have 700 dps on my spectral throw, is hard to get more.

Following this build now, and absolutely loving it. Started on standard, because I haven't played for a few months and all my anarchy league gear was jammed up in my bank. So instead of starting a new league with the limited playtime I have, I just started in standard with all my twink low level gear and am having a blast.

Currently level 42, and just got to A3 in cruel. Died a few times, all completely my fault though. All my twink gear was geared toward resists and ES, so my Hp will be lacking until I reach the late 59's and early 60's where my good gear is sitting.

Had a infernal face punching marauder, so was going to try and recycle the bringer of rain for this build, but I think I will need the ES from a nice chest more than the shear über ness of the BoR.

Absolutely loving it man, thanks for the build and info!

I have been also following Ziggy's EK build which uses same EB and MoM combo. It also runs Arctic Armor which seems to be strong in that build. I believe these two builds can be combined, and maybe should be, around lvl80 since I feel pure EB/MoM doesn't lower damage enought in many cases even with high armor. It kinda needs something else.
I am also starting to feel how ST is doing less damage relatively that it used to.
Third build I have followed a little bit was etup's cannon but I guess that's played mostly in top notch parties and is just for dps.

I was today super lucky when met an exile on lvl67 map who dropped Alpha's Howl. Even it was mediocre roll that headgear allows various interesting things to build. You can run multiple very efficient auras and use pretty high level Arctic Armor.

A question. What is your wishlist of uniques for this build?
