on how much mana do i date to take away energy shield completely? im at 4,6k mana now, feels like id get oneshot alot if i did.

I'm t 6k and it feels ok.

how do you get to 6k? its in the latest build in the thread? i guess u get alot from the chestpiece yea?

cause it seems to me i have more mana on the gear i have, but my chest only has 680 or so ES and im at 4600 mana

For those wanting to stick to cold skills like i do (or not really a fan of dipping into spark), here's a frostnova+icewall variant clearing juiced content at relatively decent speed. Just wanted to showcase cold spells as still viable

Monik, could you explain, why Wild Storm instead of Lightning Rod?

I dived deeper.

Math:

Case 1: Expected value for range 1-1000 (36% chance of a single roll, which is multiplied by 3, and 64% chance of rolling twice, choosing the highest): ≈ 967.21

This is the emulation of Lightning Rod in my build (36% crit chance of Spark, no Ambush).

~~~~

Case 2: Expected value for range 1-1150 (rolling once with a 36% chance to multiply by 3): ≈ 989.86

Wild Storm, yes. Considering the fact that it offers way more dps for the entire build overall (not just Spark), it's truly better.

~~~~

Case 3: Both Lightning Rod and Wild Storm in our build.

Expected value for range 1-1150 (36% chance of a single roll, which is multiplied by 3, and 64% chance of rolling twice, choosing the highest): ≈ 1112.21

11% more Spark damage in comparison to just Wild Storm.

~~~~

Fr, you can take both if you want. But.

Once again, each critical strike chance % decreases the value of Lightning Rod. For Cold Spells it's just trash tier.

~~~~

Non-crit with Controlled Destruction, just for Science.

Case 4: Wild Storm:

Expected value for range 1-1150 (always rolling once and then multiplying by 1.3): ≈ 748.15

~~~~

Case 5: Lightning Rod:

Expected value for range 1-1000 (always rolling twice, choosing the highest, and then multiplying by 1.3): ≈ 866.67

~~~~

Case 6: Both Lightning Rod and Wild Storm:

Expected value for range 1-1150 (always rolling twice, choosing the highest, and then multiplying by 1.3): ≈ 996.67

Dream Fragments with 1k ES chest/Ingenuity adds like 1600 mana. I also have decent mana roll on Amulet.

Decent demo. Adding it to OP.

Love mana flare.

However I can’t fit blink in my weapon 1. I have the end game build from Monik and 224 spirit on the scepter. Not sure how Monik fits it

I don't know what are your gems.
Better to make some maxroll so I can take a look. Or just tell me all your spirit reservation buffs and their supports.

My endgame build clearly has 60 spirit to play around even with 206 spirit sceptre. I did CoS 1st, and switched to Blink w/o problems.

Edit: After a second thought by taking a look to maxroll and comparing late/endgame builds:

- I removed Heightened Curse from Blasphemy and put it in Conductivity.
- Removed Clarity.
- Removed Grim Feast.

This way got 62 spirit from that to play around.

I didn't update the endgame build (see no reason for that), but my current one has both Temp Chains and Conducvity in Blasphemy with Heightened Curse. Had to get some more spirit for that. No blink tho on main set anymore.

Trying to learn how to make a page with maxroll.
Also not sure how ambush works. My new all spell wand has less crit. My comet is only 55% crit now and spark 38. Ambush says 100% increase. Does it become 138? Or 76%?

76%

I am doing Maxroll.
Is there anyway to create an armor from scratch.

My Grand regalia has 214 ES but the prefilled Grand Regalia doesnt go higher than 193

Morior is bugged on Maxroll.

Ok, I did only the gears and the skill.
Still need to do the ring but you should see the spirit cost and resource.

Exactly this:

If you are scared to run w/o Grim Feast, put Shock Siphon to either Spark (instead of whatever) or Frost Wall (instead of Glaciation), if you are using it.

Looks really good. Do you have a POB you can put up? Looks like blasphemy with conductivity and temporal chains, blink, no CI/grim feast. Guessing you have spirit on chest and amulet (or maybe you did spirit jewel instead of chest). Do you still use MoM?
