Thanks for the reply.
So that means, if i cast Wave of Conviction it auto casts the conductivity?
Since Conductivity is a spell on its own, kinda confusing haha.


Well, let's take a closer look at Hextouch:

It says:
  • "must support both a skill that hits ennemies" that's our Wave of Conviction
  • "and a hex curse skill" obviously, that's Conductivity
  • "when ennemies are hit by the other skill" means that Wave of Conviction first has to touch a mob, which implies that you've used that skill
  • "[then] the hex will be applied" ergo yup, it's the support gem that casts Conductivity!


Interesting (if a bit moot) point: if there's no mob in front of you, your Wave of Conviction hits nothing, then Hextouch doesn't bother to apply the curse ^^

Of course, the wiki page for Hextouch will be more detailed and precise ;) In particular, it states that the curse is applied to each mob touched by the Wave, and not "in an area"… which makes me wonder: in that case, do I spend the mana cost of Conductivity once per mob? That's what seems "logical" to me, if a bit costly… but again, with this build, costly doesn't always mean bad. So, right off the top of my head, I don't know X-)

Also, as a note for Enki: in the leveling section, you don't talk about ditching Orb of Storms. It appears neither in the detailed acts descriptions, nor in the tl;dr sub-section.

I think I got rid of Orb of Storms just after killing Gravicius, since Sigil of Power was the only reward from Maramoa that made sense… or between that time and the overhaul that comes after Siosa's quest. Sorry for the imprecision, I'm still a bit new to the game ^^

I do realize the amount of work it must be to try out the new build orientation in a private league, check a few options, then edit your guide. Thank you for sharing so much with us! And btw, I loved the Heist version of the build: it was so fun for being, precisely, counter-intuitive. It was particularly nice leveling that tree as a new player <3

Hey guys, i have 3.6k mana pool and only 360-420 mana regen and can't sustain mana at all, especially when getting any damage from monsters.

Here's my PoB: https://pastebin.com/cS20gjvX

Enki's PoB says he has 5+kmana pool and 1200 mana regen, i got all unique jewels and just can't get it why i have mana regen at 1/10 to mana pool and Enki's pob has double that amount at 1/5 mana regen to his 5k mana pool.

Please help me out!


You arent using Arcane Cloak, which procs a high level arcane surge, which gives you a lot of regen.

Thanks gourgou!
It was all kinda confusing, appreciate the help and effort!
Hey I was wondering what the viability of going 1h/shield instead of dw is? Specifically looking at Magna Eclipse. I'm just worried this build will have survability issues in 10 boss maven
That's a nice and complete guide, everyone agrees. Great build to learn the game mechanics, but that's about it. I'm struggling to do tier 11 maps. Didn't manage to kill Drox with 3 watchstones. I have to be missing something crucial. 3.9k HP, 700 ES, 5.3k mana. Still don't have a cloak of defiance, but it's frustrating, it feels too weak, both in dps and defense. Relying on mana stack to survive, without any other defensive layer, isn't working at all. Damage is too low, even with all the buffs. I'm not so good at fight mechanics, but it seems to me that you have to be a pro player if you want to complete even just the highest tier maps. Maybe the buid was better in the past, but as for this league I found it very limited.

But I don't mean to be rude, obviously it's not your fault. Anyways, thank you for the great guide and for making the effort to explain every single aspect of the build. :)
I think I've reached a pretty strong point in my build. 3.8k HP and 6.5k mana. In total I've probably spent like maybe 2.5 exalts. I got really lucky with my chest and 6-linked with around 100 fusings.

Spoiler


My next upgrade would probably be my boots and belts. I also need to change my anointment on my amulet to Crusader.

Really liking this build so far! I've only started mapping today, and was fortunate enough to make over 10ex! What should I go for first in terms of upgrades? I will follow the guide closely, but wanted a point in what to go for first! :)

There is only one major problem taht i found out myself today the setup doesnt work with Trigger a socketed spell craft, seems they changed the dynamic and cannot be 2 simultaneously triggers at once, that means we only trigger wave of conviction the ,conductivity is no longer applied.

Doesn't the hextouch whitch is triggered by wave which is the wand trigger set of the conductivity?
