while there are plenty of good raider builds you will be hard pressed to find one with the defensive layers of this. Archmage is just really OP at making a solid build that scales both offense and defense. In most situations and mid tier maps you can probably get away without always having fortify/endurance charges up once your gear is alright. Conductivity can be got a ring eventually freeing that up. things like vaal grace you hit pretty infrequently and arent a big deal to just keep on second bar

I thought about it a little bit and I'm gonna stick with it. I put vaal grace on the second bar and with the way I have my buttons set up it seems manageable now. I probably will notice the build get better once I get to level 90+ and get Cloak of Defiance asap. Right now I'm lvl 76

idk why you say you aren't sure what to upgrade, most of your stuff is hardly even mid-tier stuff. I suggest joining the discord to get more info.

Just following up - thanks again for this. Made a few of the changes you said (I'll need to save up to afford more) and the difference is crazy. Yes my HP went down to 3500 (not ideal, I died once to a huge crit) but my mana went up by like 3k and is close t0 10k now and the DPS increase is bonkers, plus I'm tankier for sustained damage. Still having trouble getting all of my resists taken care of in 1-2 pieces of gear and managing to get any chaos resist. That's the trouble with having no resists on chest/amulet/helm.

I'm a new player, lvl85 and doing T7,8 maps.

I just noticed I only have 1.5k evasion rating (5% evade chance) but your early game POB shows 11k evasion rating (62% evade chance). I checked passives but they are alike and I don't see much difference of evasion rating on gears. Can you think of any mistake I might making? (my gears are not 20% qualities yet, but does it make that much difference?)

And it might be related, I have mana problem too. With Agnostic, half of time I have no mana and really hard to regenerate to use any skills.
Maybe it's just my evasion rating is too low and I'm getting hit too much?
Especially in a boss fight it feels like regenerate mana is nearly impossible after mana flask runs out. Is there any trick in boss fight or do I just need better gears and more mana gen?
