Looking to get started on obtaining Cluster Jewels. I see for the Large Cluster we want this:

*Disorienting Display
*Scintillating Idea
*Supercharge
*Vengeful Commander
*Corrosive Elements

If we get Corrosive Elements, that gives us 25% change to apply Lightning Exposure. With that, would we be able to drop Wave of Conviction? If so, what would be a good replacement for that gem?

Focus on Disorienting Display, it is extremely helpful for survivability. After that it's Scintillating Idea and then after that I'm not sure the ranking but it's going to get expensive.

Hence why I put Disorienting in bold. Like in the guide... bold is mandatory. :D

On clusters with Disorietig Display, VC is the cheapest option - which boosts our Wrath. CE is the next cheapest. (After buying the Cloak, I'm a bit short of Chaos, so I'm looking for low budget, high bang options.) With CE being relatively inexpensive, would we wnt to ditch Wave of Conviciton, since we don't need two sources of Exposure? And if so, what can we put into WoC's slot? Hydrosphere is looking nice....

I finally made the switch to The Agnostic by changing the following things:

Changed my Health Flask to Atziri's Promise:



Swapped my gloves to the 30/30 ritual gloves:


After I bought them I influenced them and got the Warlord influence I wanted.
I was aiming for the Culling Strike augment, but got 30% stun avoidance instead.
Not exactly what I was hoping for, but good enough that I decided to make the swap from The Brine King to Lunaris.
Atm, I am 80% stun immune and still have 2 jewels left to enchant to get the full 100%.

The Exposure inflicted by WoC gives -25% to lightning resistance.
The Exposure inflicted by Corrosive elements only gives -10%.

Hydrosphere is a cool skill in certain builds, but you won't get the most of out this skill in this build (unless you change some things).
Hydrosphere will only change to it's lightning version if you shock or sap it, which we can't do in this build due to our Elemental Focus gem.
It should still apply it drenched debuff (-10% lightning resistance) though.

In the end WoC on a trigger still gives us more -% lightning resistance than Corrosive Elements and Hydrosphere combined, with the added bonus that you still have spot for a better notable on your cluster jewel.

If Enki reads here, there is a little mistake in the basic belt trade search.

The implicit part of the search includes "Has 1 Socket", which doesn't exist. For Stygian Vise it needs to be "Has # Abyssal Sockets", so these are not within the search right now.

Found this with a friend when I was helping him picking a belt after he somehow lost his (he's a newbie in his first league and otherwise really loves your build).

Spent several Ex, but I feel like I'm still so weak. Just failed killing Minotaur too.

I have like 10 Ex left, what should I buy next?

Does it make sense to craft* things with the combo + max life and regenerate X mana per second? or Just take the higher solo + max life?

Can the 30/30 gloves be lab enchanted? or does that remove the implicit 30/30

Also for some reason on PoB my total mana numbers, mana regen, mana reserved are all wrong. Any ideas why that could be?

It says total mana 7834 but my total mana is 8120 right now. The reserved numbers it gives is almost like it its not counting Essence Worm for Wrath. Much more reserved in PoB than in game

Each item has up to 4 different ways to be defined:

- Explicit modifiers (can also be crafted)
- Implicit modifiers (these can be added/adapted by corrupting an item)
- Quality
- Enchantment

An enchantment will only overwrite an existing enchantment, not an implicit modifier.

The max life + regenerate mana modifier however is a craftable explicit modifier, not an enchantment or implicit modifier.

Thanks! I meant Lab enchantment for the gloves. So I can enchant them no problem then? thanks!

For the life +mana regen I was mostly just wondering if that X mana per second is worth losing extra total life when crafting

Another question I had, is blade blast unnerve really all that much in terms of increasing our damage?

I was wondering if running the original wave of conviction, hextouch, and conductivity combo on a trigger wand would work and make the application of those two more consistent.

I don't believe that combo will proc conductivity while in a trigger wand but I might be misunderstanding that.

You are correct, Hextouch does not work with triggered spells. (@Reechaani: also does not work with totems.)

The Unnerve from Blade Blast essentially amounts to a 10% more multiplier, so yes, it is desirable. That said, Blade Blast in a trigger wand isn't really an elegant solution, so I'm holding out until I finally roll a cluster jewel that provides Unnerve with Culling Strike instead (been trying for a damn week now).

Out of interest, what would you use instead of Blade Blast if you roll Unnerve on the jewel?

The exposure of Hydrosphere doesn't stack with WoC, so that one is out.

I can't really think of any great options; Blood Rage for the frenzy charges while mapping or Wither for the debuff, but those are not really needed.

Orb of Storm for a bit more damage, but that would be a marginal increase.
You could however use it to proc Elemental Overload more consistently (if you don't have an Ice Golem).

Maybe Cremation/Detonate dead to explode corpses around you.

Shock Nova to sometimes apply shock can be useful.

Another option is to build around a second curse with the Whispers of Doom enchantment, but I don't expect it to buff our damage by much more than 1% with everything you have to remove to make it work.

Tbh I wouldn't go for such a jewel, there are way better notables.
