[3.25] Kitava's Thirst Autobomber - A Mana-Gating League Starter

Anyone? I also struggle killing myself in bigger packs because of the damage in. Please help. Unless this build has been abandoned.

Also if your making buildguides, why set your account to private so people cant see the progression etc?

Having actually tried the energy blade version I'm facing 2 issues now:

Sometimes the herald of thunder just goes off without any of the kitava's thirst spells proccing and the self damage will kill me. This might be a positioning issue as I realise the running through the pack will cast the spells more consistently but sometimes I'd still not get any casts at all. The non energy blade version runs into this issue as well but it has better self sustain so it won't die to the herald proccs that easily.


The Archnem mod which makes the pack immune basically makes the 1st issue worse, I usually skip packs when I see that mod.

current character I put together in like 4 div.

Would you like to take a look at this? Smth is wrong, spells not casing most of the time :/
Thanks a lot!

Having some issues with Kitava's not proccing as often as it should. Single target feels BAD and clear is not the best.

Could you take a look at the PoB and see what im doing wrong? :)

Quality on herald of thunder should speed up procs and the anoint could cause some issues with life sustain. Might also be worth it to get some more mana recoup (haunted modifier on body armour or on jewels).

I'd be happy to take a look at a POB. Definitely not abandoned, just stopped getting thread response notifications for some reason (will manually check every few days now). I tend to dismantle my builds or experiment with different setups that often don't work as well (or at all) and it was causing some confusion when I left my profile public.

Missing the 2% cooldown recovery (eldritch implicit on boots or on an abyss jewel) is probably the biggest issue, getting a watcher's eye with a better mana recoup roll might also help (it seems minor but getting enough mana recoup is really important for the build).

Archnem modifier is just annoying unfortunately, generally at least one of the spells hits the rare which is enough to sustain though.

Looking at the POB it's probabably from not running clarity (which means you won't get the 20% mana recoup necessary to sustain mana) or running clarity and only have 14 unreserved mana (and wouldn't be able to trigger any of the 100 mana cost spells for kitava's thirst). Either way you're going to want to reduce the level of clarity (down to 1 probably). Happy to help!

Hi! So I made it to maps, and I'm still in the process of leveling the gems up. The problem is I struggle to clear even T1 maps. Could you please check my pob and let me know what the problem might be? Thanks a lot!

Capping lightning resistance (should probably cap the others too) would probably help the most (belt, gloves and body armour are what I'd probably look to get more resists from), since the self-damage from Storm Secret will be difficult to sustain and the higher damage will result in more damage counters being reset instead of offset, lowering the trigger rate. Anointing Cannibalistic Rite is also important for life sustain. Getting some more mana recoup and cooldown recovery jewel would also be good, either from haunted body armour, watcher's eye or amulet craft (though this is secondary to the first two). Also molten shell will slow down the trigger rate due to it having a built in longer cooldown (its not the worst choice, just something to be aware of).
