Finally got the set up working have some question new to POE after a 5y break

running enlight lv 3/herald/discipline/blood magic on helm and purity/enlight lv 3/wrath/artic armour. This is the only combo I found where I can run the 5 of them without running out a life

I had the purity and herald reversed but as soon as I used discipline or purity when they were in the same links I couldn't use the other one. On POB I saw my AR was 4.49 when I click I use power charges and frenzy charges. Tried doing a tier 7 map but had to LW about twice just to clear a pack of blue mobs.

Any suggestions what I can do to fix my set up. Have 5.6k ES/1.1k HP and 807 mana atm.

I think I'm geared as I could be. I did T16 guardians, Shaper, and Red Elder deathless. I also beat Uber Elder but with 3 deaths after a failed attempt(first time ever fighting Uber Elder).

Here's the gear I beat Uber Elder with (warning: stupidly expensive. This level of gear was NOT needed. In particular, use a single 3 enlightens instead of two lvl 4 and drop arctic armour):

If you can balance it, Purity of Ice is superior to purity of elements. Obviously it makes Uber Elder easier (and if you had a cannot be frozen watcher's eye, the fight is 10x easier), but I found it nice for mapping too. Chimeria I think does cold damage which hurts, but with Purity of Ice it's much more manageable.

I decided to not run Fenumus' Spinnerets since you can get soooo much ES on boots this league with 28% quality syndicate mod and crafting quality on it. I find a straight-up like 500+ extra ES superior to the 1 extra web and a bit of extra ES gained.

I tried making Malachai's Artifice work, replacing Mark of the Shaper. The idea was to use either Armageddon Brand to proc EE, or put the ice golemn in there to proc. It felt too clunky and the extra damage with having EE on vs. having Mark of the Shaper was barely noticeable. And Mark of the Shaper has some ES which is nice. (Note: to make EE work you have to replace herald of thunder. I used purity of fire instead, since I had the extra 10% mana at the time).

I also tried going into Whispers of Doom for a 3rd curse, and using curse on hit + enfeeble in the frenzy setup (this was before syndicates were nerfed). It was OK I guess but really as long as you're somewhat mobile and not trying to facetank everything you don't really need enfeeble.

Overall, this is a fun build; I had a lot of fun playing it! Cost-wise for doing content, this is not the most cost-effective build nor is it the fastest (cold DOT casters seem to be as fast or faster for cheaper budget). But it's pretty fun. And if you put the Innocence Lightning Warp effect on, you look suuuuuper sick.

Thanks for the build, OP!

Does anyone have any tips for surviving porcupines on this build? The lack of dodge/block makes running any map with them in it a nightmare.
