i thought so, thanks just wasnt sure if my number was right lol, so I have about 4m dps on max storm on pinnacle boss, and only about 1.5m on uber. (59K avg hit) and thats at max so not that good right?
No need for Ghost Reaver in this iteration? Is it because we're actually using the Energy Leech gem? I think it was not the case last time I played WI. Also, I remember Spell Cascade used in the mapping setup back then. Did patches change something and now it's not worth it anymore?

It's low. Fights are going to last a while and you're going to do mechanics a lot.

I believe Kelvynn removed Ghost Reaver when the 10% instant leech mastery appeared, because it adds a lot of recovery and we need less maximum total leech per second. It's still a solid choice, but now up to preference for those who want more tankiness at the cost of not having natural recovery.

Edit : as for spell cascade, as someone pointed out a few pages back, now that Ice Storm has a maximum of 5 storms at any given time, spell cascade does not work well with it.

The 5 storms limit was added in patch 3.12 (3 years ago)

Got it, thanks!

So I've rerolled to this as I enjoyed it a few years ago when I played, but feeling low boss damage, although I am still leveling my gems up and haven't set up flasks yet. Still having fun though which is the most important thing!

Have a few questions, why the Watchers Eye clarity mod dmg taken recoup as mana instead of max mana is max ES? I haven't been having any mana issues yet.

I also see alot of people running the Shavronnes revelation ring in their left ring slot meaning they can't recharge or regenerate ES, is that because we use leech?


This is my POB so far, thanks in advance for any tips

If you're running level 17 Clarity, level 6 Immortal Call and level 20 CWDT on IC link, you probably don't need mana recoup once you've got enough mana reserves going. Make sure your regen is more than your cost per second at max use of your boss staff and you have 200+ available mana and you should be fine.

Allocate Stun threshold is based on ES mastery. It's a life saver on bosses, makes mapping smoother and it gives another mastery for Polymath, which is huge.

Your tree pathing is not optimal for Split Personnalities. Next to your starting point, use the int nodes pathing instead of the elemental damage ones and you get two points back, which you can use to change the pathing on top to the one in the PoB instead. Same amount of points, but it should give you a substantial boost in intelligence.

A corrupted Shavronne's with %int as an implicit if a very chunky amount of ES (1.5k-2k at high-end) and makes you much tankier. If you're already using Ghost Reaver, the no regen is not an issue. As a general rule, apart from bosses' invulnerability phases, we never regen ES naturally anyway. Still, a lot of people opt for more damage instead, as we are already have a truckload of tankiness. Something like a %int Anathema or another Synth Ring might be a better choice.
Newish player here, how do we make all of the auras usable at the same time? I would love to get extra damage from Hatred but I cannot give up defences.

Mana mastery + Sovereignty wheel + Enlighten 3 is enough for all auras. Lower Clarity's level to 16-17 or use a helmet enchant to free up a good chunk of mana to feel confortable.
