[2.0] MoM Incinerate - no Zealot's Oath, no Eldritch Battery - Defensive build, cheap and fun

Hello,

Just wanted to say that I really like this build, thank you 500RP ;).
I like the idea of a warrior/spellcaster who can still do a good quantity of damage.
It's a cheap and efficient build.

I'm 68 in HC ATM and rushing everything in act 3.
I Hope I'll be able to tell how it handles end game content soon.

KowA.

PS : It seems I was very lucky during leveling, I dropped an clear mind (28/46) in act 4 normal. I was planning to do without at least for the begiinning...

Last I knew, Ele Leech on gear wasn't applying correctly (which includes Doryani's, corrupted implicits, and master crafted leech). Do you know if this is still true? It could be the source of your reflect issues.

As for Clear Mind, I think there's better for this build. Staying unreserved locks you out of many defensive options (such as AA, as you've stated, and PoF, both of which protect you from reflect). Clear mind gives you 40-60% spell damage. Using a rare jewel, we can hit:

14-16% Fire Damage
14-16% Spell Damage with Shield
10-12% Proj Damage
10-12% Spell Damage

for 48-56% Damage (with a perfect gem) with the ability to reserve mana for PoF and AA. Mana regen, life, and proj speed are also good options for a jewel.

Can i use pledge of hands staff? have one and think it would fit build nicly
