So a couple gear questions:
For helmet whats the best dps enchantments?

For poet's pen is any corruption better then the implicit spell damage?

I'm curious about helmets if not going indigon or vertrex what do you think might be better? thinking for harder rippy maps and deep delving?

How much mana does one actually need to function? Full activation of everything - including Spider and Artctic - leaves me with 31 mana as things currently stand. This of course isn’t enough. Leaving out Artic gives me 179, which is more than plenty. I have some leveling to do still on my Artic-Wrath-Thunder link (to enlighten 4), but will those handful of levels yield sufficient mana reduction such that I can sneak Arctic back in?

I'm wondering what I might be doing wrong, here. I'm currently 100% deleting map packs even in tough guardian maps....but boss damage feels super low. Guardians, delve bosses, pure breachstone bosses and even t15 bosses die so dammed slow.

I wonder if somehow my attack speed is off and causing fewer procs or something due to slipped casts.

I have shaper ring with warlords mark ring combo, 4 pens, electric weakness gloves, using auls over chayula since I have vile bastion, and have a wrath and es on hit watchers eye.

Some notable things I know could be better...aspect of the spider, better other jewels (currently ones I have are filling in stat and resist gaps) and gems have a couple more levels.

Still. I am failing to see how those would make the difference between snails pace boss killing and straight up boss deletion.

Profile should be public, would appreciate any and all input.

Hello Okanitu,

To start off, your APS is actually a bit high, you want it around 3.75(ish) but you're currently sitting at 4.07-4.08, the result of which would be skipping during your casts.

Your jewels can definitely use some improvement as you're lacking in critical strike multiplier. I believe your multiplier is currently sitting around 330%, mine by comparison I believe is 550%.

You can use some blessed orbs on your chest to get it up to 10% spell damage, not a big deal but it is free damage sitting there.

I would quality your Herald of Thunder as well as Lightning Pens... Other than that I would work on improving your gems, swapping to Presence of Chayula and sorting out your fire res so you can run all of the auras you need.

Your dexterity is quite high, so you can gain some possible damage mods on your jewels or other items by lowering it.

I would also consider throwing a Wise Oak into your flask setup, 15% additional lightning pen helps.

Other than that I would work on getting higher level gems (21/20's eventually).


PS: I would probably consider quality(ing) your Vertex, that is free ES.

One thing Ive since done is gotten a wise oak, so that's checked off.

And, unless I'm missing something, where does Presence of Chayula help me, in damage or auras? I'm running all the dps auras afaik, except HoI which adds a pretty nominal amount of cold damage. Even still, I'm not sure how Chayula even impacts that, since it's not related to auras at all anyways - Aul's is just a free Aura versus Chayula's non-assistance in that capacity. Chayulas would just add about 300 total ES unless there is something Im missing.

Def understand the HoL and Light Pen quality, and for sure the crit multplier, as well as the gem levels (2 in total). I'm curious how you're managing to cap resists though with so much crit multi on your jewels.

Lastly, my dex is 159 and Frenzy requires 151 so Im not sure where I'd be dropping much in the way of Dex. The jewels that have Dex have over 8 so cannot afford to drop that.
