Since I'm going to die no matter what, I decided to make some changes to this build in favor of more damage.

Just want to say thank you, have been really struggling to make the build work and it just has not been. I was worried that once getting to the 90s the survivability would be a problem and it sure has been. Hasn't helped that I horsed up my atlas to a shocking extent and am also now level 90 and have not found all the trials yet.

I love the playstyle of arc and it's the only build I play so you have pretty much saved the league for me. Now that I can actually clear higher level maps I can hopefully start generating some currency to start getting some better gear. I dropped a Cortex earlier today and instead of selling it for 180c I decided to run it in hopes of a Bottled Faith to sell so I could buy all the maps and gear I need but got two unfavorable mods and couldn't even complete the stupid thing.

From experience, do others with Cloak of Defiance feel it makes a significant defence/damage bonus to the build?

It is my belief that it is essentially required and it helps with both. You also save a skill point and it works well with Crown on a number of levels.

Seconded. The flat mana, mana regen, and 40% MoM are all MVPs on this item. Just like the 70% mana regen boot enchantment and a 20% quality Atziri's Foible, it is indisputably BiS and you should settle for nothing less.

Do you know if Enki will update the PoB with all the nice changes you did ?
I don't know what to choose/change since I'm struggling a bit on red maps and mana regen

Hey Enki, first of all: Really nice guide. Havent played for a long time and this guide made it really easy to level and reach maps.

I almost hit level 80 and im meeting some problems.

I think my damage is more or less fine, but I have a lot of problems with the mana recovery. My arc costs around ~500 mana per cast und i have around 4000 unspend mana. But my recovery (with potion) just cant keep up with the mana usage. Therefor i also can't clear fast enough/deal enough damage to elite mobs. Do you have any advice? Or is it normal to have this problem at level 78 (80 ish)?

Maybe anyone else can help with my mana reg problem..

Actually got 2 question for this build,

1.What would we refund to get cluster jewels tree

2.Is chaos resistance that important? Im sitting at -30% but im scared it would destroy me in higher maps

ty for your time

Just got to maps finally. Should I save up until I can afford a 6L Cloak? or just buy a 5L for now? I have around 2ex in currency now

Need to get my resistances back up to 75 now too.

Perfect. Really perfect. No death in t15-t16 after changes. But I have a little mana regen problem. Maybe it's time to go for cluster jewels. I've 2,6k mana regen. How did you get 3,9k mana regen? And one last question. After activating RF my life stabilizes at 3,202/3,216. Is this a problem?

Cluster jewel is very big on this build. It grants us a massive amount of mana and mana regen. Try to get jewels with Scintillating Idea and Mindfulness.

RF making you have 10-20 less HP is just a visual bug. You are still at Full Life.

I don't understand why but activating rf slows down mana reg by around 50 percent. In pob seems no problem but in the game mana reg becoming really slow. Maybe the game thinks we are not in full life.

You can look at my passive tree to see what I removed.

Don't worry about chaos resistance but make sure you have a flask that removes poison and use it quickly when needed.

I would suggest linking your own. Get (or link up) a five link, color it, and use it. I have been saving my fusings and whenever I get a Harvest 5 link craft I use all the fusings because I can easily get back the 5 link if needed.
