Oh good, you made a build that shows pretty much everything that's wrong right now.
LIFELIFELIFE, LIFELIFELIFE gear, take IR, etc.

Really?

Not to mention the demo was done with gear a self-found player will never have: like 5 link items grow on trees and getting and linking a 6th socket in the armor for an extra support gem will ever happen without thousands of Fusings and various states of destroyed/unusable armor along the way.

lol I dont know any1 in HC who havent got a good 5link items. 5link is pretty commen. Want to see how GG items look like?

This GG that crappy chest he used in the clip is easy to find hehe

Playing style reminds me of the d2 hammerdin, but its way more advanced and customizable. might try this build in domination league.

I'm sure you found/created that yourself.

The build displayed is essentially the same thing I was planning for my Scion post release

The same, although in my case it will be 1H/shield as I don't like 2H weapons (in any game, it's not PoE related) and would like to be more tanky as shown in video. Unfortunately, I don't have such nice gear to spare for an alt so I'm little worried, but will see how it will work.

Hatred = 30%
Clarity @ 18 = 400
Clarity @ 19 = 420
Clarity @ 20 = 440
1681 Max Mana.
30% of 1681 = 504.3
504 + 400 = 904. 504 + 420 = 924. 504 + 440 = 944.
Mana reserved in video = 948.
I am a little confused at the question of his mana reserved.

oh look, it's a ranged build.

hopefully i'll be seeing some more interesting user submited builds that don't need insane gear and are melee oriented

I am a little confused at the question of his mana reserved.

1. Hatred and clarity are shown being linked with a red gem, so it's more reasonable to assume that reduced mana is being utilized.
2. One of the gems he showed was level 14 or 15. And the character was only level 70 something. Therefore, it's more reasonable to base the calculation off level 14 or 15 gems.

With a mana pool of 1681, the current cost of level 15 clarity, reduced mana, and hatred would be: (1681*.3+340)*.76 = 641.668

Since 948 mana is reserved in the video, we're seeing an increase of approximately 48% to mana reservation costs, i.e. 641*1.48 = 948. This is significant.

when you run BOTW in 1080 it can clearly be seen that auras have little (r) as support - this is with 99% prbability reduced mana (increased aoe is i think small (a))

so that 48% seems reasonable. but to be honest mana regen isnt stellar at all with EB and clarity it still isnt amazing at all

Spectral Throw not shotgunning anymore is a pretty big change. It means you'll likely have to get a second skill for single-target if you put multiple projectiles on it. That's going to strain the gem slots for my planned release build.
