I don't get it. When Warlords mark runs as an aura I can only have enough mana for either Discipline OR arctic armor, but not both. What am I missing?	Posted by JediOnTilt#4253 on Mar 15, 2017, 5:55:20 PM Quote this Post

All the uniques and high ES/int/resist gear makes this look fairly expensive, although very fun once geared decently. From a quick glance, like 200-300 chaos I'm thinking to get all the mandatory and suggested items? I currently have about 130c from my league starter and trying to decide if I want to take the plunge into this build or not. In my opinion, your 130c would be Plenty to get the build up and running. I just looked through Poetrade and you can easily get mediocre Int & 1 resist gear for around 15-20c each. You can fill out resists in jewel slots easily enough and the crystal belt doesn't have to come until later. As for your chest you could manage to get a 600 es chest without spending much. I started the league w/ this character and I'm certain that with your 130c you could get the build in fighting shape. Thanks that is very encouraging :D. I suppose the only real expense is astramentis, but perhaps I could just use a rare amulet for the time being until I want to commit the currency to that purchase. I think I may just give this a whirl. Wow with a 130c you would have a great jump on this build. Make sure you buy an Astramentis at level 20 and avoid a lot of headaches. My only other recommendation is to buy a staff with 18 int and already having 6 sockets. The cost for jewels to 6 socket it will be more than you can just buy one for and no gambling on RNG. After that just follow the leveling guide and spend your chaos as needed. Last edited by Skua99#1307 on Mar 16, 2017, 3:39:20 PM	Posted by Skua99#1307 on Mar 15, 2017, 5:57:57 PM Quote this Post

What am I missing? 35% discipline, 35% blasphemy, 25% arctic armour = 95%. That extra 5% is enough with the CwC SR version. If not you will need enlighten.

Let me ask again. I will lose a lot if my scorching ray will be level 1 instead of level 20? I really like 4 mana cost, even on maps where i cant leech mana or hexproof/players cant regen mana. What do you think? Damage is only 3k dps, or it grows with stages? Last edited by Sessvisto#2703 on Mar 15, 2017, 8:15:45 PM	Posted by Sessvisto#2703 on Mar 15, 2017, 8:15:31 PM Quote this Post

I REALLY HATE those essences of spite, holy shit wasted 200c today trying to make a belt with fire res or dual res on it and this was the best i could do, i'm never touching those essences again.	Posted by kazeshinii#4075 on Mar 15, 2017, 10:53:53 PM Quote this Post
hi been playing this as my first real hardcore legacy league character. Are there alot of other people in HC here playing this? I'm up to lvl 87 and up to t10 maps, and its been cake the whole way. Just wondering what are some limitations to playing this in hardcore.	Posted by Xslayers#6582 on Mar 16, 2017, 1:27:08 AM Quote this Post

What to do if I dont want to spend the socket for Enlighten? Atm Kelvynn have WM/Disc/AA/Blash on his helm. So should I get more intel on gear or mana?

It uses, at lvl 17 and in a 4l, around 17 mana/s. With more regeneration than that you can sustain it forever.	Posted by Levirael#2580 on Mar 16, 2017, 6:51:48 AM Quote this Post

Is it possible that your discipline, arctic armour or warlords mark are linked with another unnecasary gem increasing one of their mana reserved costs? Other than that the charisma keynode just to the left of vaal pact can give you 4% reduced mana reserved for some extra mana to play with while your gear still sucks.
