@xenochaos1: I find EB/MoM overrated. Sure, it does make you bit tanky but you either need to ivnest lots of points to reach MoM or wear Cloak of Defiance, which is not really good defensive-wise.

I tried a MoM build with the current free respecs, and i find it not really tankier than the CI Aegis version.

3200 ES will be enough for Lunaris farming, Armour should be 4k+. Together with enough block chance it will keep you alive while burning down your enemies. If you avoid Piety's bigger attacks (Lightning Warp helps), you can easily survive without Aegis.

The mana regen you refer to was pre-1.1, where i specced into lots of mana regen and mana nodes and had clarity running, was at around 286 mana/s. But it doesn't really work with the new tree anymore, it's a few points short or would need Lv90+ to be effective - which is not realistic for most players. Mana Leech works way better and is earlier avaiable, and you had to use it in half/no regen maps anyway.

Faster Proj would just increase the range, while Faster Casting increases the casts per second and therefore overall DPS.

@Topic: I tested a few things and made some changes to the gem setup. I found with Added Chaos and Iron Will you can squeeze in Blood Rage without getting mana problems.

I also corrupted my chest and got this badass mod:

Will test a few more things once currency allows to, and will probably add 2-3 different versions of this build.

I've gotten enough currency to buy an Aegis Aurora, was just wondering what I should be looking for when looking for one. I'm assuming the elemental damage increase doesn't do anything right?

What's the point of blood rage? Is it just for the frenzy charges (CI means we are never low life, so no atk speed bonus and the life leech is only from phys damage)
