At which Moment would you recommend Eldritch Battery? I skilled until the Intelligence Node before this Keystone, but cant decide if i should take it or not ^^


Hi,

I always get Eldritch Battery asap. Even with only 100ES and no ES nodes this is 100 Mana from 1 point. too good not to take imho...

Hi, having played mostly melees so far this is actually my first caster and I really enjoy the build. Currently in the mid of cruel at beyond and playing self-found. I am starting to get problems with my defense now. But my main question concerning the build is how you manage to run three auras, AA and a 6L-spell all on mana.


As soon as you feel like you're lacking on defense you can always switch to Frostbite and this must help you to freeze everything and dont get hit. I manage to run those auras because of good mana regeneration gear which comes with the time spend playing and also passives (that you can see em posted).

He has a point, but I'm going for Eldrich Battery as soon as I can run like Discipline and maybe Clarity to transfer that good amount of energy into mana pool.

You don't have that much mana nodes, and even from gears. How do you have 4k mana? (even with EB)

Well I'm not sure how can I really answer your question when my passive tree and all my items and links are displayed in guide. The answer lays in the thread itself.

I noticed something in your passive tree's that you linked.



They are only slightly different and I am just pointing it out, because I'm not sure if this is intended or not because I do not see an explanation of it anymore.
Can i ask why u got the projectile damage nodes in the beginning? I dont think 20% projectile speed route to the crit nodes is more efficient than getting the Freeze nodes route. Freeze route gives you more damage and requires 1 less passive point
Hello i started your build 3 days ago; I wanted to play something else than melee char and with powercharges ( cause powercharges are cool :D ).

Here is my actual feedback - i'm level 61 atm.

Defense and hp are a real pain for leveling with this tree, this is not possible to run 3 auras until you get some good gears and reach certain point in tree. Actually feel really weak and condemned to use the best defense i can: Manual dodge ...

About offensive it's not that bad and it will be a huge boost when i will switch to my 5L + divinarius + an other cool dagger i found in palace with other char, nothing to say here i just hope reflect won't insta kill me in early mapping stage.

Mana: No problem atm to run 4L FP with only clarity enabled.

Here are my questions:

- Wouldn't be better to choose a defense type instead of running an aura like determination not reliant to any of your gears after all ? ( your chest is Es / Ev )
Since masters are here is really easier to get good colors for body armour.
Ofc not armor based or move speed reduction will be a pain.

- Maybe i missed something but why don't use an empower gem in your +2 to cold gem dagger ? leveled you could have an higher artic armor and thats not so expensive after all to get a level 3 :) Few ex maybe with recipe it's really fast + some trades.

- I still don't get something about karui ward; Is this only for leveling until we don't have a good endgame amulet or it is an absolute requirement for this build ? I would have prefer to get the belt with 1% cold damage leeched as life, giving some spell damage and tri res instead of this amulet and really think it's better, allowing us to use an amulet desined for eventual missing res / damage / extra requirement for dex ( leaving some +30 in tree then ).

I really appreciate this build and will run it to 90, thanks for the time you spent to write it and run it :)

Thank you for seeing this minor difference. It was not intended to be different. Thank you again its fixed.

You are right, but still as I said there's no wrong way to make the build you can do as you want, I just prefer some extra speed. Saving 1 point is good but I don't think cold nodes are more helpful for me than projectile speed.
