Divine Healthy Mind to 20%

Replace Gale Drop jewel with your watchers eye here since you hopefully have a thread of hope. If you want Corrupted Blood Immunity get it on Kitava's Teaching

I'd honestly drop clarity to level 1, the amount regenerated at 20 doesnt outweight the reservation since the point is to get the mods off the watchers eye

THANK YOU! That was not directed to me, but I took few great things for self as well! And currently my witch is over 10k mana finally! ))

So I did some testing, and this is proving to actually be a pretty decent setup. You lose some block, but still sit comfortably around 40+ block with a 600k PoB damage increase.

The clarity in chest piece will end up being moved to an unset ring when I get the chance to either make or buy one.

Try and get a redeemer belt with mana recovery rate.

First of all thank you Enki for the Guide and thanks to the kind people in the comments providing so much help and feedback!
(been following WorderMostFouls advice for a while now)

I really like this build, havent had any major problems so far, made a lot of currency in the last days and now I am struggling to find more meaningful upgrades.

Watchers Eye would be an option of course but I cant decide which one I should go for.

the life from mana mod is nice but I dont know if its really worth it, my survivability seems pretty good at the moment, havent tried sirus A8 yet, but I did a juiced up T16 40% delirium map to test how far i can go with this build and it went pretty smooth.
and a watchers eye with life from mana and another useful modifier can get a bit pricey.

or is there anything else I am missing?

Your gear is quite good so hopefully other people will provide you good suggestions. +20% Awakened Lightning Penetration Support might be a quick upgrade since it directly boosts your DPS.

One question: in your helm you have Anomalous Righteous Fire + Hextouch Support + Conductivity + Culling Strike:

Do they actually work together? Or do you still have to cast Conductivity manually? I think Righteous Fire doesn't hit so Hextouch is not working there?

Wondering what is better omeyocans with mana regen enchant or regular boots with tailwind and elusive. Also got a pair of gloves with unnerve and culling strike, are they worth running even tho im 1 shoting t16 mobs, same with the bosses 3-5s fights?

I really think Omeyocan is the strongest choice, after playing around with the options. The 20% cast speed is really huge for scaling our damage, and it comes with a ton of gravy. As long as you can get your mana recovery high enough!

The gloves are absolutely something you should use for Sirus and other endgame bosses. Those buffs are mostly irrelevant when mapping, it's true, but we already have great clearspeed, so I think it's more prudent to focus on the stuff we can make meaningful improvement on, which is mostly our single-target DPS. And Unnerve and Culling Strike are both quite impactful in that area during endgame boss fights.

PoH is really insane for this build in theory, but in my experience, it just feels bad being locked in place for so long every time you cast Arc. Definitely slows mapping down noticeably. Ultimately, the trade-off wasn't worth it for me, but if you are making a go of it and finding success, I encourage you to continue and certainly am interested in the results!

I'm only chiming in to remind you to anoint Crusader on your amulet if you're dropping Crown. I have to imagine that 600k difference is going to be a bit higher once you do that. ;)

Ok, I managed to get a Cloak of Defiance for below 90 chaos with some luck with linking currencies.


Any suggestions on how could improve my gears further?

Wow, nice job getting a perfect mana roll on the Cloak! I hope you're seeing a positive difference in survivability while wearing it.

Honestly, everything you have at this point is really solid. It's now about pushing your gear to the next level--from "solid" to "in some way exceptional"--piece by piece. Eventual goals, for example, are a useful helmet enchantment, wand with better mana roll, boots with higher movement speed, belt with % increased mana recover rate, etc. Again, the items you have in these slots right now are solid and these are not urgently needed upgrades, but medium-term targets.

It's not super-cheap, but the most obvious upgrade is 20x fertile catalyst on the amulet. That's just a straight upgrade with clear benefit and no drawback whatsoever.

The two other pieces of gear that jump out at me are the gloves and shield. They're fine, but not as good as your other rare items because they both have only 3 or fewer good (i.e. both relevant and high-tier) explicit affixes.

If you don't want to tinker with your gear right now, the other obvious upgrade is to take the leap with a cluster jewel. I'd start with a large cluster jewel and build off of that, because you can easily just shave a few passive points off of various parts of your tree, put them into the passives on a jewel, and still have one open jewel slot for the future and another jewel slot to keep your Kitava's Teachings in.

My advice is to either do a spell damage cluster jewel like Enki says or do a lightning damage cluster jewel like I do. If you do the former, follow the gearing section of the guide. If you do the latter, make sure you get Scintillating Idea.

Here's a basic search link; if you're on a budget, find one of these that has 2 (or 3) useful notables: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Heist/GvoBkDDcb
If you have more currency than I currently do (none, lol) and want 2 guaranteed good notables, here's my suggestion:
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Heist/bVvZ0oOTL

Obviously 3 notables on the jewel is far preferable to only 2, but that gets expensive rull quick.

I do admit, I gambled a bit and I was lucky. So far the Cloak holds really well.

I do admit I'm not familiar with catalysts what those are going to do to unique items?

yeah, I've tried to find a valid substitute for those. And I'm still on the watch for a way to buy better/improve those.

I'll give those a look, thanks.

On a side note, I'm wondering how much I should sell my hold chest. I was thinking about 20 chaos but any suggestion is welcome.

Any idea what to improve next? Kinda stuck at this point. Lacking survivability and damage is not that high as well. https://pastebin.com/MQwLtRS6

Get Agnostic!!!! Super Important for our build

Why Not Use a Thread of Hope where your watchers eye is? You Will Save a boatload of points on the way to Spiritual Aid and you can pick up Sanctuary

Drop Clear Mind if you are going to use 2 Auras, can pick up a small cluster with Scintillating Idea with the points saved from Thread of hope

Divine your chest to get 145+ mana, I realize yours is corrupted and you would have to buy a new one but you would be better off with the extra base mana over those implicit

Change weapon, you want as much mana as you can get and your's has 33, aim for 150+. 10k mana is the goal for this build.

Life flask becomes useless as you approach 10k mana, i swapped to a Quartz for phasing and more avoidance, you also need curse immunity flask so quartz is good there, I run the same unique flasks as you, Rumi, Cinder, Quicksiver Adrenaline, Quartz Warding, Mana Heat with a Mana Poison in inventory for Hunter is what I use, with Agnostic Bleed is irrelevant.

Look for 60+ mana on belt, while 15% damage is nice I found Flask Duration better for QOL but thats not required

Divine Healthy Mind to 20%

Replace Gale Drop jewel with your watchers eye here since you hopefully have a thread of hope. If you want Corrupted Blood Immunity get it on Kitava's Teaching

Look for an # to # fire damage to spell Abyss Jewel so you can ignite while using Cinderswallow for increased flask charges and increased damage to bosses

Anomalous Wrath is better at 20/20

Unlink Clarity from second Wind so it reserves less mana

I'd honestly drop clarity to level 1, the amount regenerated at 20 doesnt outweight the reservation since the point is to get the mods off the watchers eye

I am super jealous of that shield, also my profile is public, my build is different yours but I don't do bosses on it

Thank you very much for your help!
