The mana as extra ES mod makes this build pretty tanky. Even without the mana recovery mod on watcher's eye, you will still do great damage. I personally would prefer the ES mod if I had to choose.

I just bought a decent watcher's eye with % ES under Clarity and unaffected by Flammability under PoF.
Unfortunately it only added like 2k ES which is better than nothing i suppose, guess i'll need to work on my levels and mana.

Will start saving for double clarity watcher's eye.

Edit: How many fevered minds should i be using? I'm currently using 2 but i run out of mana often, is it actually detrimental to use a 2nd one?

2k ES is a pretty big deal IMO.

Since you're not using the Flow Untethered you should really look into getting a belt with Cooldown Recovery Speed and Mana Recovery Speed modifiers. As your character is right now, I'd bet that you are attacking too quickly, especially with Vaal Haste... This means you are skipping casts and losing tons of DPS. With no cooldown recovery you should be attacking no faster than 3.8 times/sec. You should also drop one of your Fevered Mind jewels for a jewel with lots of resists and potentially %Mana and %ES. You could also try putting a Might of the Meek jewel into the Scion attack speed jewel slot, this will give you 9% all res and a good amount of Mana.

Also try to grab a level 21 Clarity, Volatile Dead and maybe Discipline.

Anyone can inform how is the playstyle in 60% less mana recovery maps? Do we swap anything?

Also in no regen maps, do we change specific flask with specific mana flask?


The build is based on mana regen, and reduced regeneration mods on rolling maps are not rare.

we were talking about gif 300k(there was 900k gif before idk why you changed it) toooltip in ho (700k dot) and i said it isnt achiveable without insanity(read BIS amy) AND bis gear with t1 mana/mana reg rolls. the gap in ramp between goood gear and medicore is like 500k dot dps, so me and other guys above were wondering where that significant difference mainly coming from

You're confusing tooltip and DPS, I never changed anything. Also insanity will not give more hideout damage than a mana regeneration alternative, as shown earlier. The biggest difference looking at your gear is not having a 6 link or a 60% helmet. The rest can be upgraded later.

If you want to get into the probability, since the amulet with regeneration is 4.3 times better, you need to at least get 5 10% restores in 5.55 seconds or 10 casts.


So the question is:
What is the possibility that 5 or more restorations of 10% Mana will happen in a 5.55 second period?

Using Poisson distribution, I will consider the sum of probabilities for restorations for 4 or fewer, by then subtracting that percentage from 1, the odds can be easily calculated:

f(x;λ) = (λ^x * e^-λ)/x!

The expected restoration is 1 on every 10 casts, on average. λ=1

So we consider the probabilities of 5 restorations up through 10, that is:

1 - [f(0;1) + f(1;1) + f(2;1) + f(3;1) + f(4;1)]

= 1 - (1^0 * e^-1)/0! + (1^1 * e^-1)/1! + (1^2 * e^-4)/2! + (1^3 * e^-1)/3! + (1^4 * e^-1)/4!

This gives a 99.634% certainty that 4 or fewer restorations will occur in a 5.55 second period. (10 casts)

1 - 0.99634 = 0.00366 or 0.366% chance that the amulet is better in hideout than a Mana regeneration amulet.
