This looks great, thx for build. Might have to try it out if I can get the colors right on my chest
I had a question: is your sustain/leech strictly from Atziri flask? Seems like there are ways to get mana back from the ascendancy but seems like HP is at the mercy of flasks.

Someone earlier did mention using Warlord's which seems to be most popular solution for leech on casters. Does the tankiness from evasion/es make it feel like leech is not important?

As you said, only source of life leech is Atziri flask. That is one of the reasons I use Soul of Ryslatha that refills life flasks and gives more life when on low life. For me this has worked out fine, the damage output is high so most stuff die before there is a chance to run out of flasks charges.
The situations where no leech has been a problem is vs Atziri and her reflect mechanism, vs corrupting blood packs and some chaos damage situations(try to get at least 25% chaos resist)
I can only speak for myself on this, but as you can see in the video of the Uber Elder fight I don't get into any flask "crisis", the es buffer and evasion/dodge just makes the build feel safe, even without leech. Most of the time the shields are up, then leech wouldn't work anyway. Still, it may require a more defensive playstyle having no leech.

If I felt leech was needed I would probably just get the boot enchant for it:


edit: or something like this

Hi, what do you think about chieftain version, also what about Disintegrator?
proc/cons compared with trickster.

I haven't looked at those options so I can't really say.

Nice build overall, i was wondering how to adjust it for the next league without farrull stuff, your opinion?

Who says Farrul's wont be in the next league?
High Eva chest/Queen of The Forest with The Vertex is a option I had in mind, but will be hard to scale good damage with, but probably excellent for fast mapping up to tier 15 maps, and high defenses with 6-7k life and 3k es, higher eva, es regen. Rolling 4/5 blue, 1 red , 1 green will be a bitch though.
Perhaps better to do it with a ES/EV Carnal Armor - http://poe.trade/search/kanitazinahoki
Even better, a Shaped Es/Ev armor with spell crit chance suffix. This is just me thinking though, not sure how it would work out in virtual life.
The Perfect form could also be a nice defensive option to build around

Hatred crit adds a good amount of damage. Faster start of ES recharge is a nice defensive stat that synergize with Discipline and the Essence Surge nodes. Base ES recharge delay time is 2 seconds, getting it closer to 1 second helps a lot in keeping the shields up at all times. It also has a considerable impact on the usefulness of the Ghost Dance ascendancy node. 2 rings with Leo 3 craft will do ok. You can see the recharge stats in PoB under "Calcs"-->"Energy Shield". I recommend getting a Discipline ES-recharge Wathcer's Eye before a Hatred one, if not dying and staying alive is your priority. Price is ofc also a factor, recharge version is much cheaper. Getting a Hatred version is probably the last investment you should do in the build factoring cost vs % increased more dps.

U can use Decoy Totem vs bosses and hard mobs. Also u can spec into Mind over Matter while only using Herald of Ash, it will boost your EHP. Stibnite flask I can also recommend.
A Goldrim for resists.
