hello! Welcome to the thread. Here are some comments you can consider

* You need to change the large cluster. We want an 8 passive large cluster, you are using a 12 passive large cluster which ends up wasting tree points

* Add quality to Automation, Intensify, Punishment and Eternal Blessing

* Level Elemental Weakness

Hello guys,

thanks a lot for all the work put in this thread. I need some guidance.

I'm a bit loss, I want to swap to the MB/Ralakesh version. Don't know what PoB to fellow, at least to start.

For exemple I don't understand how you cap the resist and what jewels are mandatory to swap.

I tried to read the last 10pages of the thread but Im lost now lol.

Thanks you in advance!

I recommend looking at some builds on poe.ninja and filter for mageblood, svalinn and ralakesh.

As an example, here's my build with MB/Ralakesh, currently at 1.2m EHP and 180m DPS: https://pobb.in/Ot16NGYTZRgg

While you don't have a "corrupted blood cannot be inflicted" corruption, use minor god Ralakesh. For easy T16 farming, I switch the granite for a quicksilver flask for more movement speed, and replace the diamond flask with a gold flask, and increased crit damage with item rarity support.

I dropped the Rumi flask to get 100% uptime of defenses with 88/88 block. If you want even more defenses, replace the bottled faith with a progenesis flask.

Instead of Zealotry, you could go with Purity of Elements which makes gearing a lot easier. But your DPS will be slightly lower (still amazing though).

Thanks a lot for your reply. Buying MB right now and still have 100d to spend. Better to buy ralakesh with +1 charge or the wand?

What I don't understand is how you use your curses in your main hand? I'm to lazy to click on this 3 skills.

Thanks!

I would go for a tormented spirits wand first, since the enchant adds so much to the build. There are examples of great wands in this thread, make sure to evaluate in your PoB and buy a good one.

I self-cast the curses since arcanist brand feels clunky to me. This allows using the curses on large mobs as well, not just single-target. I think it also adds 18% cast speed from the caster mastery, since these are 3 self-cast non-instant spells. I don't think you get this additional bonus with arcanist brand, but I'm not sure.

But most people use arcanist brand, so you may prefer that. You could use a 4-link setup with 3 curses and arcanist brand in your boots.

Here's my new 2-cluster setup: https://pobb.in/jPWxDfLby6CP

Hi,
First I have to say that I really enjoy that build, block seems to be opi definsive mechanic.

Lately I put my hands on that wand

which makes game even more lazy, but now I am wondering how to best utilize freed gem slot from arcanist brand. Right now I am running shock nova, but maybe there are better options.

Thx!
