Once you dont run Crown of the Inward(which imo is a VERY bad helmet once you transition into lategame) you should run Crusader, since without Trans. of Mind you losing way too much damage.

I see Enki's update list both Undertaker and Mind Drinker. For me, switching to Mind Drinker gives a negligble DPS loss compared to Undertaker for a small uptick in Mana Regen. Not worth spending the oils.

Switching to CoS would give me a 2.5% improvement in DPS, with a negligible loss of Life Regen. Still hemming and hawing about swapping to it.

But it seems I'm just talking to myself here anyway...

I'm currently running Orb of Storms with CoH to run Conductivity. I have Increased Crit on that setup as well to keep Elemental Overload going. I think that works fine, but I'm wondering about getting Whispers of Doom and swapping Increased Crit out and putting Elemental Weakness in there instead.

Maxed level Awakened Curse on Hit would do the trick just fine :).

Get Conductivity on your ring and EW in the Orbs setup.

Why do you think It's bad late game? Seems like good damage potential.

What? Why? :(

lategame would be bone helmet with crusaders mod. You can check the cheap version in my profile and the expensive one in Rorytan's (not sure how to link items here)

Thats a BiS helmet as far as I am aware(Shaper Crusader, you slam a shaper helmet with % mana and a Crusader with % Ele, then you target - light res with remove/add light harvest and add the light damage with remove/add caster)

Perfect Helmet on a cheap few ex budget(the bases and the awak orb)

Hello Everyone,

I'm still new and trying to understand what is happening in this game, i tried to build what Enki recommended as i can, but some stuff he mentioned is kinda expensive to me.

So I hope someone can help improve my build with Low to Medium budget gear,

My Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/ewGPLi9Y

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

Start by looking at the "Upgrade Order & Trade Links" on the guide. Here's a list of things you have on your gear that are not helpful, and some replacement gear suggestions:

Wand:
+1 Level of all Chaos Spell Skill Gems
Resistance - don't put this on your wand
% chance to Freeze

Shield:
Energy Shield
Stun and Block Recovery

Helm:
Get Crown of the Inward Eye

Body:
Intelligence
Better to get either Shroud of the Lightless or Cloak of Defiance

Gloves:
Energy Shield
Mana gained on Kill
Stun and Block Recovery

Amulet:
Get Atziri's Foible, then anoint it with Undertaker (with Crown of the Inward Eye) or Crusader (and skip Inward Eye and work on a Bone Helmet like the ones posted recently)

Ring2:
Only thing good here that you have is Resistence.

Belt:
Stun and Block Recovery
Attack Skill mod
Replace with an Abyssal belt when you can.

Flasks:
You need a Mana Flask
See the guide for what mods you want on your flasks. Use your menagerie to your advantage.

Jewels:
Clear Mind - ditch this for a rare
Hazardous Research - ditch this for Healthy Mind



Skills:
Don't use Vaal Clarity. You want your spells to cost mana.
Your Orb setup is fine, but consider Orb - Curse on Hit - Conductivity - Increased Critical Strikes


Passive tree:
You picked up and extra Intelligence you don't need (it in the Hazardous Reseach jewl's radius). Drop that and start moving towards Forethought.

Really appreciated your very detailed reply, i will work towards what you said, and you make notice some wrong approach i took, thank you very much for the kind help.

There is one question i have, does Inpulsa work with this build ? , I'm curious to know as i want to try it, it is so satisfying to see everything explode.
