Hi, I finally got my resists to use Black Sun Crest and with a level 2 enlighten. I have my gem set up in the helmet exactly like yours, so I threw on arctic armor, and I can only cast one Icestorm with my mana pool. I realize the point is to mana leech, but running a map is awful with completely being reliant on mana leech, not only for damage but for survivability. Having only one shot instead of two really limits you for when mobs move around or for when you misplace an Icestorm.

Also, why do you go all the way down to Unwavering Stance for stun immunity when you can just use Valyrium instead? I realize you use Doedre's ring for tri curse, but I was under the impression that temp chains wasn't very useful vs. bosses unless you were max curse effectiveness. By going Valyrium I can save so many points to get things like Foresight, Nullification, Unnatural Calm, and the ES nodes around the witch start which make all the difference in EHC.

It is true that I lose about 100 intelligence due to the Brute Force jewels, but I can pick up Catalyse, Elementalist, and Celestial Judgement for double dipping elemental damage for way more damage compared to the ~13% increased spell damage that 100 intelligence would give me. AND I'm getting all this way earlier.

This is my first WI character and I certainly don't know everything about it so I was hoping you could clear up some of my misunderstandings.

Hi

Thanks alot for this build, it's really nice and the guide is the best I have ever seen. Thank you for the effort.

I'm lvl 88 now (semi-casual this league) and have been hanging around in the Tier 12-15 area. Now my plan is to get ready for Shaper and Guardians. Do you have any recommendations on next upgrades?

Thanks!

Get your gems leveled and add quality (see the Gems section) before going after T16/Shaper. You want Enlighten lv 3 and 20/20 DPS gems at least, and 20q Blasphemy and CoH.

You are not using Enfeeble? That's a bad idea.

I see you got lucky with the colors on the gloves. With that roll you can just go with the Ice golem: CWDT - IC - Flame Golem - Ice Golem. It's a good option, just too expensive to recommend in a new league. Re-color the chest to get the green 6th socket for AA, put Enfeeble into the curse link. Boots: Leap - Fortify - FA - Orb.

Do some Uber Lab and get the leech enchantment for the boots.

Your gear is fine. What to upgrade? I'd start looking for a better chest armor.

Kelvynn.

Build is quite nice even with my 10-13 ex total cost gear.

I have a question.

I killed all bandits on normal and didn't took diamond skin cluster for resistances. (so totally i have 4 extra passives). Now with my gear my resistances are 147/143/124. What is your advice on this issue? Which clusters should i get? Maybe Faith of Steel + Nullification or Lightning Walker to cap my resistances? Or maybe additional jewel socket with +13-15 lightning resistance?

Which of these options would be better?

For the moment my ES: 8100.

Would be also nice if you can take a look on my gear and tell me what should i do next to improve generally my items, ES or deeps. Character name: Autism_On_Hit

Thank you ! :)
