First of all, thanks for the guide!
I followed it and had fun with a character.

But my stats not quite the same, despite my tree and gear are pretty much similar.
What am i missing?

Ice Nova itself it actually not that impactful given its cost. You can certainly upgrade it but you will do more with your currency upgrading a bunch of the below first IMO


Here are some gems that can benefit from more levels:

Eternal Blessing 21/20 - increased aura effect

Aura of choice 21/0 - better stats of your aura (most of the auras do not benefit from quality)

Enfeeble 21/0 - Better curse stats

Punishment 21/20 - Better curse stats and get quality here for defense

Sigil of Power 21/20 - Better stats and get quality here for defense

Frost Shield 21/0 - Better stats, you can decide if quality is useful, it is marginal at best IMO

Conductivity 21/0 - Better curse stats

Assassins Mark 21/20 - Better curse stats and quality is mandatory

Automation 21/20 - Better uptime for Arcane Cloak, quality recommended

More Duration 21/20 - Better uptime for Arcane Cloak, quality recommended

Arcane Cloak 21/20 - Better stats, quality recommended

Almost all support skills for Ice Nova can be 21/20 accept for Power Charge on Crit if you are using it, that only needs to be 20/20

Can you provide a POB that shows 52/55 for block? I took a quick peek at what I thought was your character (which may be wrong) and it shows 88/71 for block.

Just to make sure we are comparing apples to apples:

1) make sure your Rumi's flask is on

2) Know that the in game character sheet does not calculate "lucky" block chance for you. The max the character sheet will show you is 65/65. POB will do the lucky calculation for you to see your true block chance.

thank you!
Should I invest my next passive points into Arcane will (and 2 mana regen nodes on way) or should I buy cluster jewel with doryanis and put my points there?

Less mana (289 vs 329) and less devotion (150 vs 170).
I think its because timeless jewel.
It changese some nodes to give +1 max res.
Do i need to grab different one?

no you don't need to get a different one. It is entirely up to you.

The number on the jewel represents a random seed that will determine what happens to your nodes.

This is a good article to read to learn how to search for the seed you want for your build
