A Hall of Grandmasters dropped in the last map I ran. Is my build ready for it?

I don't know much about HotG but looking at your character there are A LOT of improvements to be made:

1) BOOTS - the only good thing about them are life and mana, everything else is either useless or horrible. They don't even have movement speed. I would switch out those boots asap and try getting a mana regen enchant on them.
2) RIGHTEOUS FIRE - You seem to be running Vitality instead. Is it because you cannot sustain RF yet? If you can't sustain RF then you definitely need to take a look at your mana regeneration.
3) RINGS - They are mediocre OK-ish but definitely need improvement. Try switching out your Vermillion ring for a Cerulean and your second ring should be an Essence Worm with preferably a level 21 Wrath in it.

4) FLASKS - For some odd reason you have 2 mana flasks. With the correct setup you shouldn't need 2. Refer to this guide's flask section on what flasks and which prefixes/suffixes to use.

There are various other smaller tweaks here and there but I'm not going to list them. Over and all I suggest going through Enki's guide as thoroughly as possible. It even has a Upgrade order section. If you follow that you'll do wonders!

Easiest answer is obviously get a 6link CoD. I think that's the best thing you can go for initially.
Also, get the 70% mana regen enchant on your boots.
Afterwards, consider getting the medium cluster jewel Enki suggests, it's mainly ment for bossing.
Also, take a look at quality for gems. They are a small increase by themselves, but do it for all the relevant gems and it's a pretty decent increase.

Hello,

First, I just wanted to say this is my first league in PoE and I have been having tons of fun with this build. I'm doing maps now, around Tier 14, and was wondering what to improve on my build next. I can usually clear ultimatums but sometimes I get stuck and die, I think I need more defenses. Also, I've been fighting the Elders and encountered some sustain issues for boss fights.

Thanks for any tips!

Hey there! having a ton of fun with this build, Just now making it to t5+ maps and wondering where I should probably upgrade first. I have about 2ex right now working on getting the veiled craft so I can upgrade my weapon. Ultimatums kinda kicking my ass so I tend to skip them.

The very first thing you should do is swap out your Lavianga mana flask for an Eternal mana flask. DO THAT ASAP because the mod "Your skills cost no mana" literally nullifies Archmage supprt skill because a HUGE bulk of our damage comes from how much mana we spend to cast ARC. (

Other than that you're doing great. I would probably try six-linking COD next and also throw some divines onto it when you come across them since it has a pretty low mana roll. Just refer to the Upgrade Order section of Enki's guide.

DOH! thank you so much -- I didnt realize that about Laviangas lol, I have a bit of mana issues now without using it but definitely improves the damage now.

Quick Question

How much more important is +Mana vs. +Spell/Lightning Dmg or Flat Lightning Dmg?

Maybe I just haven't caught on to this fully, but I just swapped out a ring with +11% Spell and 1-54 Lightning (that didn't have +Mana) for a ring that had no damage modifiers but did have +54 mana, and my dps for the Arc skill actually went up slightly.

If +54 Mana does more than the dmg modifiers I had before, how does it work on a wand? Is +150 Mana worth more than an extra +40% Spell dmg when I'm hunting/crafting a new wand?

Edit: Also, is there any alternative to Righteous Fire? I can never seem to pop Vaal RF and Cloak/Wave of Conviction all at the right time to capitalize, and regular RF feels iffy (though I can sustain it with my mana regen, even without the right boots yet).

Hi, great build and guide. As a brand new player to the game I have enjoyed it very much thanks to the build. I was just wondering what I should do now to take it a little further? I am currently in the process of getting better flasks and my watchers eye, but I was wondering if there is anything else I should get? I currently have 3k life and 7k mana (life is a bit low). Thanks for any help!
