Am I missing something here?

A lot of things are still bugged. To apply changes, you need to turn off and on smth, change locations, put off/on gems or swap them, and sometimes even relog.

+3 Jewel definitely works. Try smth above.

Hey, thanks Monik, it worked. I unequipped CoC and reslotted them all.

Monik, one more question :)
Could you say your current mana and spark DPS without buffs? Just in the hideout. Looking for some reference numbers

I know some good answers have already been given, but I will update my maxroll page and link that here in an edit in a little bit.

Thanks very much for your info, very useful. After some low cost upgrades (that 4 run unique body armor), I'm doing a better now, managed to survive a few 1 shots.

Also I finally managed to do my 4th ascendancy. Did the Chaos Trial Master, killed him first try which amazed me.

I'll focus on farming Chaos to get ex, to convert into divs, then hopefully I can get some great upgrades to get 4k+ mana.

Thanks for Monik for posting the build and to the various replies, it's made me enjoy the game again.

I've bought one of those body armor and my mana is now 3099, which is better and resists now capped. Hopefully that makes a difference.

So, how it is? How it feels now?
-------------------------------------------

Monik, just from QOL perspective. I suppose that your endgame gear provides completely OP overkill. Is it even possible just to add +1 charm with amulet instead of Wild Storm? Ingenuity with 1 charm sometimes feels uncomfortable.

It's feeling a lot better. Also maybe the CI is helping as well, maybe I was being hit by Chaos attacks I couldn't see before but I am surviving more now.

You are already level 90 so leveling up very hard. If you were lower, I would say run Trial of Chaos a lot. It takes 20 minutes, give you about 200Ex each run in general.

You really need better gear. 20 runs of trial of chaos might give you 1 level and easily more than 10 divines in total currency. If you need Ultimatum, I can give you some.

Thanks, yeah I'm running Chaos now. I'm doing the level 80 ones (maybe I should do lower ones because quicker, so more currency?)

I'm only getting around 20-30ex per run though (which is still pretty good, way more than I was getting on maps) but saying that, I've just been getting the more common soul cores, which sell for around 13ex.

6k mana with my latest setup (double curse in blasphemy),
6.1k mana with maxroll gear.

Unbuffed spark is about 44-47k, can't recall. With all buffs it's 145-147k. I'm not playing atm, so can't tell exact numbers.

I bought level 21/20% Spark recently, was like 10-12% more dps.

My god,

I tried the trialmaster fight and I got one shot.
I hope I don't need to get the 3 pieces again to try it again.

Not sure why, it seems he didn't freeze and then it just did a fast attack and 8000 damage to my face

He froze for me. I think you have to let him fully transform / be targetable.
I've time freezed too early a couple of times and it doesn't freeze the boss.

All good, I tried again and he dies in one hit. I just did Breach boss lvl 1, I don't know why I was so scared, he died in less than 3s.

Question/Consideration about 2% Mana Soul Core

I am curious about those vs reduced requirement soul core in gears like Virtuosity.

on 4k Mana pool, I just added a 2% Mana Core and got 53 Mana (+1.3%).
If you put a dex to int requirement on Virtuosity, You can potentially save 15 points in dex, hence 15 in Int, hence 30 in raw Mana number that (with my tree and soul cores) make for 55 Mana.

It is not so obvious as Int/Mana/ES scales up with modifier. I have +86% right now (1 Mana in gears give me 1.86 Mana in pool)

I think the 2% just adds up to your monifier, Mine being 86%, moving to 88%. So the more modifier you have, the more raw stats matter
