[2.6] The SoulTaxic- CI PoisonFinder TS/Barrage ,Shaper/ Guardians/ Uber / ALL mapmods

I might be missing something here, but even after getting all the "reduced mana reserved" nodes there is no way I can sustain mana with HoT+Discipline+Wrath active. At least not without an Enlighten attached to them.

I know I am still very low level, but the amount of mana is not going to change much. So, what am I missing?

Also, in OP's example gear: is his lightning damage proccing the elemental overload?

Elemental overload has nothing to do with elemental damage to proc it, it simply procs whenever you crit with a skill.

To this end, I've found getting the boot enchant really helps keep EO up a lot more. I noticed mine wasn't proccing quite as much as I would like, so I sold my 0.6% Damage Leached as Mana and Life (not needed for this build) and picked up these for fairly cheap:



Of course, this is not as good as the added lightning damage when you haven't killed (for bosses), but for general map clear it's pretty great to EO up pretty much constantly. The fact that EO lasts for 8 seconds but this bonus kicks in if you haven't crit for 4 is pretty nice too.

Also, I picked up a white +2 Barrage iLvl 85 Hubris last night for 7ex. They've dropped in price quite a bit over the past couple of weeks it seems like. Just a heads up to anyone who's been saving up.

i have swapped back to my build for 40/40 completion, but currently as im doing 100 more maps, i am full MF , gear as follows

Are most of you guys using blood rage? If yes, do you degen really hard when not leeching?

yes, and turning it off when u need to

How do you turn it off? Weapon swap is not possible with bow and taking out gem manually feels very clunky. Is there another possibility?

I find myself little bit squishy (10k es). What else can I do? And one question about Immortal Call (I know golem isn't working, just leveling it to 20+). If you have NO endurance charges, does it still procs the IC?

Also what about gloves with Elemental weakness on hit? It's better than vulnerability? Or not?

Squishy with 10k ES? I am at 7k and only level 73 and I fly through T11-12 maps. So don't know what would cause you to be so squishy.

And IC procs without endurance charges. They only increase the duration.

And Vulnerability and Ele Weakness are both much inferior to Temp Chains. I know, it might sound counterintuitive to not take Vulnerability on hit gloves for a poison build, but we don't deal much physical damage so it is not as helpful as it is with most other poison builds. Temp Chains is just much nicer to have.

I wanted to repeat a question I asked before in the thread:

Anybody else got massive mana problems if they follow the guide to the letter? For me it is absolutely impossible to play without Enlighten 3 linked to my HoT+Wrath+Discipline. Without it I am out of mana if I do one shot that doesnt hit. Also, even when I hit and leech back up, the delay in leech takes away like 50% of my attack speed.
