Vei, finally I got the amulet but could be better if Int as implicit so I wouldn't need to bench craft and resist craft as suffix instead.

Yeah Int as implicit on Amulet(Lapis/Turquoise) will be the best for us as we are always "lacking Int" XD.

According to your previous post, I am still bit of distance getting my Awakened Curse on Hit gem. Wanna ask you if it is worth to buy Bottled Faith?

I would think ultimately it depends on your playing style(At Range or Near to enemy), since bottled faith will require the enemy to be on Consecrated Ground to be worth using it. If you can ensure that, then definitely well worth the tons of DPS increase. If you go this route, definitely take up Point Blank Keystone on the Passive Tree to take advantage of playing at a closer distance.

Also, I played around POB and realised by pairing Marylene's Fallacy amulet and Bottled Faith yields more damage compared to the amulet above.

As for Marylene VS +2 Skill Amulet, it looks like your accuracy is at a point where Marylene's Flat Accuracy actually increases your chance to hit by 1% thus the DPS gains when switching to Marylene's Fallacy looks big.

I will put some numbers here you can take a look:

Shaper DPS

Using Bottled Faith with 1.9 Crit, 9% Inc Dmg Taken

A. Marylene giving 1% more Chance to hit from 99% to 100%

Marylene - 950k Shaper DPS
+2 Skill - 921k Shaper DPS

B. No Chance to Hit change

Marylene - 934k Shaper DPS
+2 Skill - 921k Shaper DPS


Without the 1% increase in chance to hit, the increase is much smaller as you can see. Base on the numbers you are 117 accuracy away from 1% more chance to hit currently.

That said, I also notice you are only 1 point away from getting the Farsight Notable on your Passive Tree. I think it's definitely very worth to switch 1 of the 4 or 5% life Passives to get the Farsight Notable for a big DPS increase. That will also get you to 100% Chance to Hit(And give you some leeway for equipment upgrades that has lesser accuracy)

Another thing to add with regards to the 2 amulet comparison is that the +2 Skill amulet gives life and +1 skills to gems like Grace, etc so it might be worth the slight bit lower DPS depending on how much you value these benefits.

Thanks for the explanation, Vei. My next MO is to get Awakened Curse on Hit. Super rare drop and super expensive to get.

No problem! The price for Awakened Curse on Hit is pretty crazy this league, 20 Ex, compared to the last which is like around 10ex.

Hope you get some lucky drops that will pay for the cost of the Gem. :)

Need some assistance with the skill tree...i'm using lethal pride and berserk setup, but am i missing something because my manna max/regen seems too slow as i am not casting my totems fast enough and getting hit while waiting. my play style is that i spam a lot of totems, and before converting to the lethal pride with berserk, i had no problem with manna. as a crutch, i've taken the Revelry node which helps with manna but losing 2 skill points significantly reduces my offense.

can anyone enlighten me? should i just be more judicious with my totems? or is there something else?

also, any tips to just help improve my setup would be appreciated, thanks. -- how do i post my gear?

here is the gear (are flasks really that important?):

Hi, normally with our unreserved mana when Chainbreaker is integrated to our build, we should be able to do place 3 sets of totems without issues. The fourth set for the 7th totem needs a very slight wait before it can be placed.

Understand that might be too slow for some players or one would like to cast totems freely without any Mana concerns. To go around this issue, out of these possible solutions:

- Getting a Higher Maximum Mana Pool(So Higher Unreserved Mana + More Mana Regen from Ritual of Awakening Ascendancy Notable)

- Higher Unreserved Mana through Enlighten Gem(Costs a Gem Socket) or Amulet Suffixes like "Grace has (20–25)% reduced Mana Reservation"

- Flat Mana Regen like "Regenerate (5–7) Mana per second" from Incursion Rings

- Using an Enduring Mana Flask or Lavianga's Spirit

- Crafting "Non-Channelling Skills have (-9–-8) to Total Mana Cost" on our Rings and/or Amulet


The most effective way and what I would recommend from the above options would be Crafting "Non-Channelling Skills have (-9–-8) to Total Mana Cost" on our Rings and/or Amulet. This will need an Open Prefix on the Ring/Amulet.

Try and see how many of this craft suits your playing style.


Fun fact: If we actually craft this(At least 2x -9 mana and 1x -8 mana) on both our rings and amulet, our Totem cost will be reduced to Zero Mana(No Regen Maps? No problem ;) )

I see that you opted for defensive options over offensive ones on some areas like the Constitution Anoint on your amulet so I'll skip these in my evaluation.

Here would be my suggestions:



And to answer to your question on flasks, flasks gives Big DPS and Defense boost if we use the best ones so they are super important.

Hope these helps

I want tank a lot Vei that let me gain finally a fun build (i can not again kill sirius, because i think i was bad to avoid damage).

You are welcome! Enjoy and have fun with the build :)

Hey Vei,

I was thinking of adding a jewel. My tree is a little different from yours but I prefer it.



Any thoughts on what I should change to add a jewel slot & where would be the best spot?

Hey there! I see you went for Iron Reflex and took Notables like Soul of Steel which is an amazing Notable to take for sure.

By the way I updated my writeup on the Iron Reflex Section recently , incorporating attack and spell block(Up to 75% and 70% respectively) to the build, just thought to point it out in case you haven't seen it and might be interested.

Best Socket for the Cluster Jewel is definitely the Jewel Socket above Resolute Technique since you are not using Lioneye's Fall and are Armour Based.

To get both Notables on this Cluster Jewel though, a total of 8 Passive Points(Including the 3 Points to put the Cluster Jewel) is needed, that's a lot to "Sacrifice" for the 2 Notables on the Cluster Jewel.

If you really want to go for it, then the "least hurtful" Passive Points to take from will be from these few areas that you can consider:

- Farsight Notable(3 Points)
- Master Fletcher Notable(4 Points)
- 4% Maximum Life small Passive above Purity of Flesh Notable(1 Point)
- 5% Maximum Life small Passive above Golem's Blood Notable(1 Point)
- Herbalism Notable(3 Points)
- Cloth and Chain Notable(2 Points) *Especially if the Added Mod on it through Lethal Pride isn't a good one*


Definitely a substantial DPS loss going for the Cluster Jewel. I myself really like the Cremator Notable but the DPS loss to go for one is really huge and that is enough to stopped me from going for one ;)
