Great guide, fun build, loving it so far. Rough start is an understatement but once its online its smooth as butter. One thing I noticed, the whole Dreamcatcher cluster is probably buged out. It does increase ES from focus but the increased ES does not get converted to mana once you get Eldritch Battery.

Hello! Thanks for the response and glad you are enjoying the build!

Yes, the start is rough. I was thinking about changing out the leveling skills, but I wanted to keep things simple for moving into Hexblast, plus I personally enjoy the challenge.

I mentioned in my second update in the conclusion section that Energy Shield nodes don't actually help us which lead me to tweak the build for some more curse nodes to take advantage of double cursing enemies more. It makes me sad and I agree with you, feels like a bug to me. I'm curious on what the actual math is there behind the hood to see if there are actually ES nodes that would help us out.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

I was wondering if any interesting annointment on amulet for this build?

Any couple node fitting well with it ?

Getting stuck at Geonor. Any recs on levels? Do the bosses scale?

i'm currently playing with the build and find it quite enjoyable, if you know the bosses you can solo all the story bosses. i'm currently testing the conversion from elemental damage to chaos. have you experimented with it?

Hey there!

I haven't experimented too much with annoits on this build but anything increase maximum mana, spell damage, chaos damage, curses would be great.

Hello!

That is a really cool idea. It would open up Elemental spells for more build variety, I love it.

I haven't tried it personally - if you get to a good spot with it, let me know!

Hello!

The first few acts are really rough. You honestly can stick to something simple in the beginning like Spark + Firewall without any trouble. I just like playing with the skills from start to finish to make sure I'm as good as I can be for end game.

For Geonar, make sure you have high or maxed Cold resist, movespeed boots to avoid most of his attack and decent AoE when he summons his werewolf friends. With all that, you should be able to take care of him.
