Byrr's Eldritch Battery Ethreal Knife Shadow

I cant really pick between this or Invanlesco's build to base my char more on. Really need help as I kinda went deep into Ivas build to start(lvl 49).


Dun know the real differences between the two, and in reality its driving me nuts.

Hey everyone I started building this character, and since I'm relatively new to POE I was wondering if this is a viable softcore build, and not exclusively for hardcore. Thanks!

Thanks i will try this build

Does Point Blank work with EK?

If its viable in HC you can be damn sure its viable in SC

No. EK is a projectile spell, not a projectile attack.

So I see that the build involves a lot of auras, are they all leveled max as you can afford mana for them? Even clarity? Or does clarity remain level 1?

Thanks!

with Eltritch Battery u can manage to get all the mana u need for the auras, but its only effective at high lvls when ES items can give u a lot more ES, unlike low lvl ES items that gives u very low es.
at low lvls we need to keep all auras at lvl 1. we can tho, lvl up determination and hatred, and basicly any aura with x% mana cost...cuz it stays x% all the way.

While I would consider this a decent way to handle things, it is not what I did. And I believe I never would do it. I always leveled up my auras, Discipline is nerfed but it still helps you to get a bigger and bigger mana pool with every level of this gem.

I leave out auras as long as I can't afford them all, so you start with fewer auras, but you use them more efficiently. I think that is better than having them all in a weak version. But that might just be me. My thinking was simply, that you do not need the defensive ones for the early game. So I always add them later when I really need them. And usually I have the mana to support them at that point.

Okay thanks! I wasn't sure if this had too low dps for sc, that's all :)

Hello. I have to say its really cool build on HC. Too bad died today :( RiP 48lvl :P

I have question. Why you dont support EK with fork ? I have problem with reaching some mobs.
Died today because I rushed on summoner to kill him and next all skieletons but this skieletons just owned me hard with sparks. I think fork would help kill summoner without rushing in. Give me some tips please :/ Im going to do again same build so same problem I will have :P
