Do I need to look/craft items with high energy shield value for this build or energy shield becomes not important after I pick up from skill tree The Agnostic?
Alright, so Ive beefed up a bit to 5300 life and almost 7000 mana:
Spoiler
Jewels: Healthy Mind and Watchers Eye plus another jewel with 7% max life.
Skill tree: http://poeurl.com/cW1g
I still feel very squishy against high level map bosses and other world bosses that deal a good amount of damage. Does anyone have any tips on getting more tanky except getting more Chaos resistance? Thanks.
Like someone wrote in an other post, for those bosses you should switch healthy mind with something life/dmg/res
And, perhaps you missed it, but you're not using any life flask ^^'
Aaaaand ... you don't need any "remove freeze" on a flask ^^

Like you said, agnostic is killing your ES so it's not necessary to look for it.

Hi. I'm a total newbie that just finished campagin and run my first map. It's a bit challening and I wanted to ask what i can do to improve my stats and DPS. There are so many options, that i have no idea what to pick. Even comparing items to each other is a challenge, especially if they are offensive. I also have almost no currency, only 10 chaos from levelling. Would really appreciate some advice.
Hey Wombat, I've noticed you are using Mana Flow annointment and I'm wondering how's that annointment compared to Undertaker.
Also, thanks for that Sirus video, am a new player and it actually helped.
Glad it helped! Personally I like Mana flow better and I can compare the two and you can pick which one you like.
Mana Flow
Expensive
Grants Mana Regen
Grants more max mana
Grants slightly more damage
Undertaker
Cheaper
Higher Life regen, so less mana drained
TLDR: with 5k life and near 8k mana, undertaker gives 100 more life regen, mana flows gives 100 more mana regen. They grant the similar amount of damage. Undertaker only works if you have spell cascade and not kitava's teachings. But mana flow is better with spell cascade and kitava's teachings.
Enki mentioned that Undertaker will grant you more Essence Glutton uptime. Undertaker changes the maximum amount of corpses allowed at once for desecrate from 10 to 12. Desecrate can only create 5 corpses at once, 10 corpses if its linked with spell cascade. Bone offering will consume 5 corpses maximum at once. So if you have spell cascade, on the first triggering of desecrate and bone offering(they trigger at the same time) you will create 10 corpses, consume 5 corpses. On the 2nd triggering of desecrate and bone offering, because desecrate will be triggered first, you will first spawn 10 corpses, with the 5 you already have, it will be reduced to 12 corpses and then 5 of them will be consumed by bone offering, leaving you with 7 corpses. And you will only have 7 corpses left after each triggering. But if you do not have spell cascade, since you can only spawn 5 corpses each time, you will only have 0 corpses left after each triggering. So with spell cascade and undertaker you will have 10 extra mana regenerated each second. So undertaker under this situation would be cheaper and grants pretty decent regens. But it changes if you have Kitava's teachings, Kitava's teaching consumes 1 corpse each second to recover 5% of life and mana. The internal CD of trigger a socketed spell when you use a skill is 4 second. So after first triggering, you spawn 10 corpses, bone offering consumes 5, kitava's teachings consume 4, leaving you with 1 corpse by the time the 4 second CD comes up. Leaving you with 1 more corpse each triggering capped at 3 because 12 - 5 -4 = 3. And mana flow + kitava's teaching provides plenty of mana regen already so you do not need those regen from essence glutton anymore. So in my opinion, undertaker is more cost efficient if you have spell cascade and no kitava's teachings. And if you have both and have the currency then mana flow is better. So damage wise they are basically the same if you have high maximum mana, and with mana flow grants more mana it will make Arcane Cloak stronger as well. These are just my understandings and preferences.
Hope this helps
So, maybe I've not gotten enough mana yet, but I was comparing Undertaker with Path of the Savant in PoB. Making sure to check the "Consumed a Corpse recently" box, I see a negligible difference in the DPS for these two.
However, Undertaker gives a huge boost to Life Regen.
Note that I do *not* have The Agnostic. I'm still wondering if there is any real need for it.
One thing that stood out to me - are the two 4% hp and 4% chaos resist nodes top left.
Why those? Does the 8% chaos resist make any difference when you are at -60 most likely?
Considering there is a 5% life nodes instead or even the 10% max /mana 15% mana from flask node also for 2 points total.
So 8% life, 8% chaos resist vs 10% max mana, 15% mana from flasks and 5% hp.
A Question about Cluster jewels. I've used large,medium but for the small i'm confused! I have the regular one and the kitava one. Which one should I use? Also is there a way to use both? Lastly, I've removed Profane Chemistry, Arcane Chemistry, Sentinel and Battle Rouse to have enough skill points. Do you think I did right? Because the guide says remove the skills beyond the Constitution skill on the tree. Please help me, thanks.
So the build started off a bit slow on the boss damage but still felt tanky enough to survive at least.
Since adding Crown of the Inward Eye, Essence worm + wrath, and adding Healthy Mind, my dps has been actually decent enough to kill bosses without too much difficulty or time.
Disciple of Kitava was 100% necessary for me for mana issues.
Picking up the Supercharge + Scintillating Idea also helped DPS a bit.
Super fast mapping and solid boss damage too - many thanks Enki!
