I like this build , to live on the edge of danger with good MF and DPS

prob was hard to get max res

anyway started making a char with your guidelines

Can you do Domi & piety solo runs with ease ?

what aura's do you run normally ? ( do you run all the purities or switch on demand ?


how would you rate my build

The small changes look pretty good. I had issues getting enough strength for max reduce mana gems (109str I think), so you might get away without the +30 str node if you can support it with your gearing. I would also recommend getting Arcane Vision from the witch area. It's tough to see in the dark :)

With respect to resistances, my tree takes the enhance aura nodes to beef up the Purity, Discipline and Clarity auras. It will make more sense towards the end of the tree when you start mapping and try to get more performance out of the build. Chain casting totems, running L20 Clarity, more ES, higher max resists all go towards survivability in the end game. Swapping these out for more dps (spell damage nodes) may or may not help you.

My current level 85 with 1 Andvarius ring on, I have the 4 purity auras, clarity, discipline and level 1 Arctic Armour(20%). If I drop the Andvarius ring for an all resist ring, I can run Haste aura.

I can do Piety really easily - please check my video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4Mq68rlPyc&feature=youtu.be. This was done at level 74 with 1700 ES. The hardest part was getting there on such low ES and facing magic packs of machine gun Miscreants. Eye of Chayula makes this 100x easier than without.

Dominus mini bosses and phase 1 Dominus are even easier than Piety. Phase 2, you should have a couple granite flasks and position yourself on one side of him (just inside his protective bubble), and your totems should be on the opposite side of him right in his face.

Why Rapth's Globe instead of any good rare ES shield on the budget build?

What are your thoughts of getting the +1 curse node, for 4 passives points you can cast elemental weakness or some other curse to improve damage by quite a decent bit

Overall, I'd say the biggest weakness of this build is against spike physical damage from leaping and charging mobs. If they catch you by surprise, then it's pretty easy to get wrecked. My solution to this is: (1) play smart and (2) CWDT- EC - IC - ID setup in a backup helm for heavy physical damage areas, otherwise I use a helm with the 3 single resist purity auras and enable/disable whichever ones are needed for that area.

Edit: Also, I took the Influence cluster earlier than the leveling tree suggests. I just couldn't turn down 20% more everything (energy shield, resists, and mana regen all from auras).

Now I am level 75, I was able to replace my 'Redbeak' with a 'Doryani's Catalyst'. The only advantage I seem to have acquired was my 'Flame Totem' DPS raising from 1932 to 2016. Maybe I am missing something, but what is the main advantage to a 'Doryani's Catalyst'?
