40% increased cost when you're using life...... It would do more damage, but I'd say stick with the rare until you can get another one you can get higher damage and cast speed on. That's just me though.... if you're comfortable with the added life loss on cast, go for it.
What Gem should i get 20% Quality first?

Well they all work. I'd say Apep's is the best for the build "as-is" but you can still find better rare wands/sceptres. Consuming dark can work, but then you should tweak the tree if you use it.

Whichever you are using that you can find for the best price! :) Considering the quality bonuses, Faster Projectiles and Faster Casting I think have the best bonus since 10% cast speed is much better than the spell damage bonuses on Iron Will and Fire Penetration. Flame totem isn't one that you want to re-level so if you buy a quality one, you may want to get a lv20 one.

Or level another in your offslot so when you 20Q one you have a high level one to fall back on while you re-level the 20Q one again.

Yeah that is what I'm doing
I'm currently at 8.3k DPS with a 4-Link Infernal Mantle, lvl 77. I see people having 12k+ with a 4-link, I know I'm missing some dps on my jewelry but my wand is decent. What do I miss to boost the dps?

What would I need to change in the tree to use Consuming dark efficently?

Here, I fixed the tree for you, got rid of bad nodes, got more important ones, this tree is alot better for HC. Instead of going all the way up to Heart of Flame for damage the build dosn't really need more of, I've selected more life/armour nodes and more Jewel nodes.

Tooltip DPS with shield = 18.8k
Tooltip DPS without shield = 22.6k

Level 91
7800 Armour
75 All Res
6.5k Life

This setup dominates high level maps and the only thing you will have trouble with is no regen mods.


Thanks for your input dude, I was looking for some tempest players doing high lvl maps. I'm currently doing 72s' and this is my first character at this level so I did not know what to expect and how to invest towards endgame maps.

Do you still use rain of splinters, is it worth it?
I see you don't run Lyoneses, don't you think it is worth either?
Also, do you guys think it is worth running a damage aura like herald since it'll reserve life? Guess it's ok to do so when running very low risk content but don't know about endgame.
Thanks :)
