Similar as what I am running but in the end you will probably want to run life leech gem. Maybe I am wrong that phase acro and atziri'so promise just handle reflect issues completely. I have no issues running all maps up to t15 (no core runs yet).

casual Atziri run

Do you mind posting your gear? I'm trying to get my sparker into higher tier maps and Atziri.

Sure. 1-2ex budget which mainly goes towards CotB and Vinktar :^)

This build almost does too much damage lol. I'm struggling in maps right now because I insta-die on any reflect mob even using vinktar/doryanis belt/life leech gem. I can easily clear maps up to t13-14 even at lvl 74 though so the damage is definitely there. Anyone got an idea on how I can survive more efficiently when I come across reflect? If this build cant get any tankier I will most likely abandon it because dying to reflect mobs with all your defenses up kinda blows.

I died 4 times when power leveling my friend in Dried Lake due to reflect and lost 40% at lv90.

Then I specced out of the spell crit nodes north-west to templar start and picked up VP. No more issue.

Maybe this will work for you as well.

Thanks for all your help so far. Do you mind also taking a quick look at my thread here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1628562? I will probably follow your advice and respec those 5 nodes to get VP and go for life leech as my 6th link.

You are welcome and I have looked at your setup.

Considering the huge amount of damage you will be dealing, life leech is a must against reflect and VP is needed to accommodate that so you don't die due to the leech rate cap.

However that conflicts with the EB/ZO/MoM combo you are currently running. You will get no es regen even you've converted the life regen to es.

Vaal Pact needs a description update now that this distinction with ZO exists, to make this clearer, but no, you won't regen ES if you have both.

Overall I think EB/MoM/ZO is not going to work at higher levels. (maybe I am wrong)

My suggestion is to run things on mana as it's not that difficult to stack mana regen from gears and so you can actually utilize leech.

The difference between my tree and thread OP's tree is that I stopped right after getting the 50% pierce chance nodes and did not go for acrobatics area, and went for the duration nodes above scion life wheel instead.

I would assume with phase acrobatics reflect is not as troublesome and using Atziri's Steps might make it even better, and that makes life leech gem and VP unnecessary.

I did not test how well going dodge will help the performance so I cannot give a definite answer on which one is better. I personally prefer to have consistent life leech during long boss fights (such as map daresso/kaom) instead of relying on the abysmal life regen I could possibly get out of stone golem and tree.

It's up to you to decide which one works out for you as not many respec points are needed to switch between the two. Maybe going both dodge and VP would work out as well? Who knows.

Try it and you will see :)
