Devouring diadem's Feast of Flesh consumes corpses restoring life, mana and es per each coprse. Desecrate spawns 5 of em, so it will get you to full es (witch is your mana with diadem) in one corpse just by taking abit of damage.

thanks for the answer!

For what is really Golden Rule?, to get maximum "chaos resistances"?... I don´t understand so good for what really it is... Thanks in advance...

Exactly, to get chaos resistance via self-poisoning.

Not only that, but also to trigger more posions recently applied for the Ascendancy Node: Noxious Strikes

There was almost no need to update it.

Vitality is now reserving flat mana, which is in most cases less than the 35% reservation it used to have.

I did not yet have the time to properly rewrite the sections, but this gives us new options: (which are exclusive to each other)

- Circle of Nostalgia can be taken without the reservation reduction affix and therefore you can take a buff + chaos damage version

- Inc Area on Plague Bearer can be dropped, Herald of Purity can be put in the Diadem and a low level Vitality can be put in the free slot, where Inc Area was before. (Which should obviously not be linked to Empower!)


I will take my time to properly rewrite that part of the guide. But I wanted to give you those thought experiments already.


Also I have currently decided to not include the wishes for cluster jewel trees. My reasoning is, that there are other guides existing that use clusters and focus more on damage, while my build philosophy is more based on the defensive focus.
Also it would feel personally wrong to include variations that I didn't play test myself.
