Ha, sorry, thought I had that done ages ago! Char unlocked now :)

No, I currently don´t sit on a 6L shavs, so guess that´s the obvious thing to go for! I guess I slap an Elemental Focus gem in that once I get the 6L? :)

Even without the 6L I'm impressed. That's some really nice gear. I think that unless you can find a cheap upgrade for gloves/boots then 6l shavs and Presence of Chayula should be your next two upgrades. Or possibly a helmet with the 150% stone golem enchant and the 3-5% reduced mana reserved essence craft.

I took a look on your skill tree and noticed two things. You can remove Practical Application and Pain Attunment to save 3 points. Use those points to go towards Essence Surge for the increased ES recharge & shorter delay.

Hello SRS Auramancers! Started as bit earlier this league, spent 20c yesterday to get the gear into good shape for white maps and up to Tier 8 is doable if I don't go nuts on Leaguestones (yesterday a regular strand with Rampage, Bloodlines, Beyond and Nemesis handed my ass back to me fairly quickly :D ) but I can already see pushing myself to lvl 100 and some achievments this league.

I have question related to Brinerot Mark, specificaly that line about the golem gem life as energy shield; what does this mean exactly? I have purchased the ring yesterday and of course I will be using it anyways, just wondering what does the ring give us in total.

Awesome that you can see yourself pushing the 100. I've wanted to do that myself for a while, but I've only managed to get to 97 on my highest char so far.

The ES line on that ring should mean that 20% of the golems max life, will be added as extra ES to the golem. Not great, but it combination with our discipline + Vaal Discipline it means that the Golem will be able to sustain some extra damage.

(Divines up to 430 ES omg)

Crafted this helmet on first Essence... Still trying to get Stone golem effect enchant (already gotten for flame, lightning, ice and chaos golem >.<). This guide has helped a lot, and I have had a lot of fun so far in Legacy with it! Considering pushing to level 100 once I feel more safer.

That's an awesome helmet. I've probably used 200+ loathing essences crafting my helmets in the past, and I've not managed to get a ES roll that good ;)

I'm glad that the guide has helped you out =) If you would start pushing for 100, get the Shavronne's Revelation and it'll save you a few deaths ;)

What Jewels are recommended for this build? I couldn't find this part of the guide :S

Ha, I feel like such an idiot for taking PA. Wow. :P

The reason I run Practical Application is for the dex and str! As fast as I can use level 20 vaal haste/haste without the dex req being to low, I will remove them :)

Thanks once again for all the help, will probably go for a 6L next, then straight for the headhunter belt, for even more fun times!

wouldnt the "vaal mask" be a good solution for this build :)?

Hi man, what do you think of bisco's collar for mf build?

4.9.9. Jewels

Rare Jewels affixes

Prefixes

• +% Minion Damage
• +% Maximum Energy Shield
• +% Faster start of Energy Shield Recharge

Suffixes

• +% Attack and Cast Speed
• +# Intelligence / Dexterity / All Attributes
• +% Rarity of Items Found
• +% Resistances

Unique Jewels

• Energy From Within
• Sacrificial Harvest (Easier keeping the vaal skills up and running)
• Conqueror's Efficiency (You will need the extra reduced mana reservation)
• Survival Secrets (only while leveling)

Energy From Within gives you 18-21% increased maximum ES if placed near the Melding tree, the best survivability increase you can get from a jewel.

It's a bit hidden atm and I should probably move that section. but 1x Conqueror's Efficiency + 1x Sacrificial Harvest + rare jewels are the setup I usually go for nowdays. With the Presence of Chayula I don't find Energy from Within to be mandatory any longer.

Last league I had forgotten to spec into Arcane Focus and I noticed it around lvl 94 or something, whoops :P

If you need the str & dex then I'd probably go for two of the +30 nodes instead (but I don't think that you should need any additional strength with the lvl 90 tree), or you can try to find a ring or gloves that has you covered.

I did love my HH in the breach league. After I bought it for my SRS I ended up using it on almost every single character I made in that league :P It's just so good for your clear speed.

Do you mean The Vertex? It would be a pretty decent option to begin with. But for the aura setups I have in the build you are dependent on getting a -3% reduced mana reserved affix on your helmet, which is why I go with a rare crafted helmet.

As long as you can get your stun immunity in another way it could be good. But with Presence of Chayula being as good as it is, with stun immunity, 300-400 ES (20% of 1500-2000 life), and 30% IIR, it is probably BiS for a mf build as well.

Hey :)

First i want to say thanks for sharing the build.
I have to say this is one of the most well-written-completed guides i've seen so far.
I'm having more and more fun the more i get a hang of it.
I have to say since this is my first energy shield build i failed pretty hard at the beginning.
Didnt know where to go and so on... Maybe next time i shouldnt try "es" at the beginning of a league :D.

Well anyways i got ultra lucky got Fated Connections sold it and made some currency.
And now again.
I have no clue where to go.
Im sitting on 7.5k es but and i have no idea what to upgrade next to make a difference without just wasting currency.
I would love if someone could give me tipps what to improve.

Again, thanks for sharing :).

Alright 8 Auras up now, could I get a gear check here please?
I have an SL right now just try to run a 6 link
Thanks grinders :)

I'm having some trouble getting to the Blood Magic cluster, the way that I understand, in your guide you take Blood Magic cluster after level 90. Is this correct? What do you do before you get Blood Magic and the 50% reduced mana reservation? Do you just run around with two auras and barely any mana to cast raging spirits for the 100 or so maps it takes to get to 90?

I dont know wich one to upgade first ... Eye of chayula or Severed in Sleep?

i can now maintain my Tier 10+ Pool
pretty awesome! since i gain at least 1 Chaos from every map

Strands are Awesome for Leveling .... but i kind of get the feeling that those maps dont drop any relics or worthy things at all?

but its a really really nice Build once you get a Shavronnes Wrappings - everything will be super fast
