update lv 69 atm

running 5L armor with EK, Iron Will, Faster Projectiles, Faster Casting, Life Leech

using clarity, discipline, hatred, determination, grace

3k ethereal knives, 2.7k hp, MAXED resists, 10,500 armor(58% reduction)!!

im so tanky now thanks to iron reflexes converting all my evasion to armor so i dont need granite atm
Im failing to see how some players get away with not using mana leech? I am lvl 78 in HC and still use EK+Faster Proj+Added Fire+Mana Leech. I cannot spam Ek and keep all my aura;s up without Mana leech. I did not level clarity (I use lvl 3) which I think may be the issue? Suggestions?

Obviously my gear is decent but not the best, stacking +life on all gear is a must on HC imo. I could really go for a 5L and would eventually like to use Ek+Life leech+faster proj+iron will+added fire and keep all 5 aura's up. The build is solid and I am really not having any trouble even in 70+ HC maps, but there is obviously alot of room for improvement in my gear. Thoughts?

Get ring/ammy with increased mana regeneration. Switch out one of your gear for a piece with PURE es. Try to get a shield with pure armor or armor/es hybrid with life/mana/res. Did you spec into Eldritch Battery in your skill tree? It combo nicely with discipline aura.

At what lvl did you last few posters grab Iron Reflexes? I'm 66 and still few points away from it. Should I have strayed away from Eldritch and the north keystones til I had IR first?
Which bandit rewards did you pick? I'm thinking of going HP, phys dmg and skill point.
ive heard attack speed on gear doesnt apply to EK eg att speed on gloves, is that true?

Of course it is. EK is a SPELL, not an attack. Cast Speed, that's what you want.
