Atziri's Promise and Vessel of Vinktar are nice. And Void Batteries are not mandatory, just BiS. Apep's Rage is plenty good.

power charges nodes are not needed until late,including forbidden power?
I see you went for vile bastion istead of forbidden power

I experiment a lot. More DPS is not needed really so I went more defensive early (in all respects except life nodes in tree which I wish I had more of.... :P)

do you think a fingerless glove would be better? why did you choose voidbringer on you gloves?

Imo, rare gloves would be a little bit better cause you can reach more hp and resistance, but voidbringers is the only way to leech energy shield there, i would recommend to use gems with es leeching on hit and rare fingerless gloves, but it will be a lot more expensive.

Also the best replacement for the curse ring would be malediction or a corrupted amulet right? is it worth replacing wicked ward with malediction or not? what are the situations

Thanks for the guide. Has been working great for me so far, but I do have a question regarding mana. I find my self being low on it sometimes and not able to cast any spells. Any tips on improving this? I went with the occultist.

Thanks

Hi I just realized you're using a +1 6l regalia in your chest slot in POB and that's realistically very unrealistic... a carcass would be much better and for the most dps a 6l covenant would be best. (you lose about ~200+ hp depending on how much % life you took on your tree)

Once you spec out of MoM (if you haven't already) and ditch the Voidbringers for Maligaro's it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm currently contemplating testing a Blood Magic variant to get rid of mana all together and using a 6-link Life Leech gem.
