I wonder how many hours you have to play to get an empower gem to even level 3, it must be 1000s of hours.

Nah, just a week or two, I did a load recently, dont forget when you quality any of those gems like empower or enlighten you get +X increased experience gain.

is there a guide how to craft this cool staff?

Just look on youtube for how to use awakener orbs, i think ZiggyD has a video? and the other usual suspects probably have some too.

Kazokas, I can see why you might not want to buy the extra expensive stuff with life! I dont think I ever bought a double influenced item, craft them yourself, awakener orbs are expensive but its got to be cheaper than buying, then at least you have a chance to hit other good mods like T1 life rolls.

Hey,

This is probably a dumb question and I'm missing something obvious:
I switched to The Devouring Diadem and respecced the 3 passive skillpoints in order to get the extra 4% reduced reserved mana on the skill tree.

However, I am still not able to run all 4 auras together (Flesh and Stone, Zealotry, Discipline and Wrath)

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Is it something in my gear?

The character in question is 'GastonBallemans':

Thanks!

EDIT: I found my mistake, didn't notice the passive on The Devouring Diadem requiring all the auras needing to be slotted in there. I'll leave this up in case someone else is making the same mistake.

Very well set-out guide, especially the gearing progression/upgrades. I can clear A8 Sirus deathless and can also do wave 20 sims and 100% delirium T16 maps.

Nice to see that someone has managed to do this.
I am still struggling with T14-T15 100% Delirium and 19-20 sims wave.
When you thick out everything in POB (community) what is your arc DPS ?

Or can you share your fully configured POB, something like this https://pastebin.com/zZpbPWf5 ?

My fully configured POB (with HH) is 6.5m Shaper/Sirus DPS with Arc. Without HH it would be slightly higher.

Pastebin link is: https://pastebin.com/pepi6qag.

Thx a lot! I though that 3.5m Shaper DPS was about max for this build but know I know better!
And now I have learned how to add arcane surge form watcher's eye to POB :)

No worries -- took a while for me to figure out that too. You'll also note that I've made a manual adjustment to add the 5% double damage on crit on the cluster jewels for the pressure points node.

The DPS for my POB is closer to 8m if we also factor in orb of storms.

The max DPS for this build (including OoS) is probably at least as high as 10m. There are a number of optimisations that I could but haven't invested in, i.e. awakened spell echo, full awakened skill gems for OoS and better 4 stat jewels.

If I drop flesh and stone for a lvl 4 enlighten in the helm would that grant us enough free mana reservation to use grace? I'm asking because I recently crafted a sexy 'disorienting display' large cluster, which offers me blind.

I also picked up the 'cold cunduction' and 'chilling presence' medium cluster over the crit medium cluster. the extra survivability is really essential.

Hi guys, I'm here with another question.

So basically I'm still running an older version of this build, with 3 dragons and stuff

So my question is, how can I sustain the amount of mana I'm spending?
I initially went for a lv.31 arc with empower, but that costs like 90+ per cast with a cast speed of .15, so I think I would have to sustain 500 mana/second (roughly)?
I'm trying to get "#% increased mana regeneration rate" on as many of my gear as possible, but it's still not enough.
I have since dropped the empower support and swapped to a duskdawn, and now it costs 62 per cast with a cast speed of .18, but I still can't sustain that amount of mana.
Are there any other flat mana regen things I can get except for clarity and increased mana regen?

thank you in advance

There is a ton of things you could do to reduce mana reservation.
- different nodes on the tree you can reach
- different nodes you can pickup with the amulet anointment "champion of the cause" 4% and "charisma" is an 8% reduction.
- You can get helmet enchants which reduce mana res for specific skills, gotta get lucky there.
- some jewel corruptions only by 1% though
- you could use blood magic to switch a gems reservation to life (if you could afford to lose the life)

ummm, thats all I can think of right now.

I had a method of switching something for grace, cant remember how i did it. I think I dropped the spider aura. I remember, since you have Wrath AND zealotry, I just dropped one of those, sure you lose a bit of damage, but if damage is less important and you just want a bit extra protection you can switch in grace.

The problem for me was. If your going to use grace, to take full advantage, wouldnt it be better to plan from the beginning and have some evasion on gear, amulet 20% to evasion etc.

LingLing!

I managed to get arc to 31 last league, look at my level 98 elementalist in my profile.

You have to swap empower with the right gem (added lightning damage) and leave inspiration in! that will bring your cast cost right down into the 20s.

if for some reason you dont want to swap empower with added lightning then the best mana thing is the -7 to cost of spells you can get on some rings amulets maybe and a ton of mana regen, and a high clarity.

Maybe grab that rare amulet (like vermillion rings and opal rings, there is a blue amulet that gives you a 60% mana regen implicit) that may help as well.

hi, are there any up to date videos? i want to see how this build performs in high tier maps with at least 4 delirium orbs and also against conquerors
