Your low amount of life really scares me.

Yea in the video where i tank the Vaal smash i only have 90% increased life on the passive tree, I'm now lvl 81 with 112% increased life on the passive tree and doing maps without any problems.

BM
I dont think you can make this build work with BM since the main survivability comes from MoM and using a BM gem would counteract the survivability since getting back to max health would take longer.

I don't really want to replicate your build obviously so, If I took IR, picked up more survivability on gear, and grabbed MoM on the new unique do you think BM would be possible? As much life gain as i seem to be grabbing it seems almost wasteful to not use BM.

The main reason it probably wont work is the mana cost of Incinerate, my mana cost is 24 and with 12 casts per second that makes it cost 288 mana per second. I don't think you can get enough life to sustain that while also getting max block.

I have version of build with IR and without MoM on Nemesis, currently 66 lvl and my gear is pretty bad, don't have any unique items yet. I run 4 auras: Clarity, Purity, Determination and Grace for 10k armor (can get much more with good gear) and 79% max resists. But my damage is very low since I don't have any speed cast nodes yet. Don't know if i want to fix it by respecing or i will just make new character.

I would make a new character, getting max block on your current build is impossible within a reasonable amount of levels and its not worth spending all the regrets to respec.

I've been leveling with limited amounts of gear, and buying pieces when I could (namely the claw). I prioritized getting all the key spell nodes around where you start, then heading straight down to mind over matter, while picking up a couple blocking nodes. then come right back up and grab US and battery.

I used gear i picked up, and the odd thing i could trade for. The claw alone with leveling gear will get you to merciless without much fuss (at least for me). But the claw imo definitely is the key part.

try and get a 5l chest if you can (I traded the rest of my limited currency for one). the dmg and healing from incinerate has had me lvling through merciless now to act 3 (lvl 62).

from my own experience its not overly gear dependent, but I'm imagining I'm going to hit a wall here soon gear wise.

fun though!!

is this build viable for hc/nemesis?

Taking in the info from this thread this is what I have come up with.

188% hp
156% Evasion w/IR to make that armor.
Max block
180% Mana Regen w/EB
36% cast speed
US/MOM obviously
38% projectile dmg
48% spell dmg

You wont reach max block with that build, max block with the anvil is 78% and you get to 74% with tempest shield which means you miss out on some damage and survivability.

Also you cant use all 120 points since you want some of the bandit rewards and getting to lvl 100 takes around 4 months assuming you play at least 12 hours every day. You want a build to be finished around 90 points.

Since you cant use Grace in the build IR wont give that much armour unless you wear evasion gear on purpose.

how do you use lightning warp normally? and why do you put elemental proliferation on it? just not sure of the benefits? (i'm new)

I just use lightning warp to move around, its just convenient to have and the ele prolif was just there so i could level it since i didnt have anything better to put there.

Im using Lightning warp with faster casting and reduced duration now.
