Thanks, I'll try!

It honestly feels like I hit some kind of wall since I got into T14 maps. I use flame dash a lot to increase my mobility but ever so often a mob just oneshots me. It this normal with this build? i used to be able to do nearly all maps mods, now it seems i have to avoid dmg und res.

One-shot deaths will happen with this build, so you should definitely avoid damage if you can. With right stats, you should also be able to take some of it.

How much mana and life do you have? Do you have any issues with mana regeneration? Remember that with MoM mana is your another life pool. I've let myself look at your gear and you seem to be missing many upgrades that would help with both survivability and damage (which helps defenses a lot - if they die quicker, they don't have time to hurt you, right?).

You might want to go for remove life, fill up the last suffix (with a res I'm guessing?) and then go for add life or benchcraft life and rem/add life. Then you can only roll flat life or phys attack damage leeched as life.

Thanks, I should've done as you suggest.
Instead I just threw 3 exaltys in the trash by buying the craft from someone over at Discord trying to get rid, in a hurry, of that Life Regen. Since the league is almost over, I guess I'll just wait for some lucky Harvests in my maps instead of giving currency to someone else (with the upcoming nerf the prices are going up so... yeah).
Edit: aaaand I found aug Life. Now let's wait for remove life.
Edit2: T3 Life :(

I had a crap league start but dropped a Cortex map, instead of selling if for 5ex I decided to run it in hopes of getting Bottled Faith which would have netted 20ex, wound up with bad mods and couldn't complete it.

Zana gave me a Cortex yesterday, I decided to yolo it and I didn't even look at the mods. I felt like it was nerfed cause I remember it used to melt my MS Jugg in Synthesis.

This is my Standard wand, I know that crit multi does nothing for us and chaos conversion is not a thing anymore but I can't wait to try it out with Arc.
I should buy a Harvest Craft to get rid of that Accuracy and slam something else tho.

thank you! I have 4200 life, 1150 ES and 7200 Mana. Mana reg is decent and i usually dont have problems. My gear is not yet perfect, Ill try to upgrade every few gaming hours. what would you advise to upgrade next?

Get yourself a healthy mind jewel (only about 7 chaos right now) and put it where you have that abyss jewel due north of the starting area. This will lower your health but boost your mana. Also, try specing into "The Agnostic". This will take advantage of your large mana pool.
For added survivability you could spec out of heart of destruction acendancy and into bastion of elements. This will add an automatic guard skill and prevent ALL reflected elemental damage.
Look to buy fertile catalysts for your Atziri's Foible and rework your resists to add in an essence worm ring with wrath.
These are a few easy, low cost, things you can try to increase survivability and damage.

I wasn't playing back then so I don't know if they are easier now but they have 2-5 mods and you don't know what they are going in to the map. I have had easy ones and difficult ones, the first one this league had a number that the build was not able to handle, took me 2 or three portals just to get to the boss and it took me until my last portal to get to the final phase which also went poorly. I was fairly low level at the time and that may have also had something to do with it. I misread an atlas strategy and completely blew up my atlas and had bad map sustain and issues getting any maps in 3 or 4 regions, spent at least my first 2 or 3 hundred c just buying maps to fix it - it was brutal. Still undecided on whether I will try to go for a fast atlas next league and risk messing it up again or just push through on a standard path that takes longer but can't brick the atlas.

You have quite a lot of life there. I would consider going for the agnostic passive and get rid of all +ES mods on items. When it comes to items, your wands have some mods that are not needed: burning damage, accuracy, life gained on kill. If you have currency you could look for one with more useful mods and about +200 maximum mana, that is a big gain.

What you could benefit from is the omeyocan boots with 70% increased mana regeneration rate enchant, a Mana Flows anointment on the amulet, the ritual base gloves with 30% reduced mana / 30% chance when you pay a skill's mana cost to gain that much mana. On your rings you have quite useless item rarity mods, as well as low res mods. These are a waste. Another idea is changing your belt to a stygian vise to use an abyssal jewel, which could get you both +life and +mana.

I would consider moving some life passives to mana by getting rid of some maximum life in the bottom of your tree and going for some that increase mana. A large cluster jewel with 8 passives would free another two points for you to go for small cluster jewel mindfulness or such. Also, I can't see your ascendancy passives, but if you went for heart of destruction changing to bastion of elements could help with survivability.

That's what I can come up with as some quick upgrades which would help with survivability. Some of those may not be cheap, but would be something worth going for.

Finally farmed myself a mirror. :D

Trophy being brought to standard or do you have designs on mirroring an item or purchasing something that expensive?

Just a trophy. :)
Previous leagues I always dropped off with money making once my build was done. I thought I'd try to keep it up and see if I could get a mirror this league.

I just loaded the updated POB and Mind Drinker is selected but there are no nodes selected that are connected to it. It's just floating there by itself. Anyone else seeing this?

Is Mind Drinker part of this build?
