I think you're tanky enough to survive reflect. You're non crit, reflect got severely nerfed and you have a pretty big lifepool.

You are two points away from 5 different jewel sockets, jewels are definitely worth two points, I'm just not sure exactly what to drop for them.

imallinsons changes seem legit, but I'd take sanctity and go through lightning damage towards celestial punishment for sure, like so;

https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwAAt9bYTdtZlKAtqNpisZC-gGh0GFaDCfnoRnFBh7QM4Yi3PsrTHar-Cr6K8kXYvZMnoS864TWSf8bviKZX_o_Bxfk3TePsGIhC18-P-nC7gh5JsfDVFLDbC0lRlS5MLQceEQ9-rzsNrJiNGe_rOlj31-ASVcabodlfg9uPRhhq3YynCHgvna7r7nzlGmzli5rghTIc3FgHNun3weQiG_FFnY8aJKrVpn7HU1IWb-08-tLjapo7Zp4XL-FzgptyD2TnogCUb1nzcYVV1vAfBLNmVBo4zLdXKYCkaPLAZpBV1XVG1ycvsUI=

Breath of Rime might also be superior to Heart of Lightning, +10% freeze chance is a lot when you're casting fast, and with CotB it doubles as an offensive and defensive node.

Edit: Yeah I'd probably use elemental weakness.

Yeah I noticed the ZO/vaal pact problem after I posted. But are you sure this build won't need vaal pact? With double *more* multipliers, I will be safe from reflect?


Reflect isn't a problem for non crit especially as its not an aura anymore.

The problem with getting a little less reservation, is that I will have literally no mana to use. It would be pretty good to have 1 or 2 casts worth of mana I think, since I am using MoM, it would leave me unable to cast at all if I take a big hit, and having no mana at all to use is going to slow me down if I am casting a lot and use up my battery.


The thing is if you take a big hit MoM is going to take that 10% unreserved mana as well and you aren't set up to regen that. This is just an issue you kind of have to deal with when using MoM. You could consider running vaal clarity for emergencies.

you are right about my auras, but the HoT will be linked to culling strike and innervate, which puts my total reservation at 132(I think).

I do really like getting to celestial judgement and punishment though

I suppose I would be able to use your tree for sure if I got an alpha's howl


Its a nice thing to do but I don't think its worth the nine points you were spending to get charisma. You can fit it in if you have an Alpha's so that's a much better option.

and question: how does storm weaver interact with lightning to cold conversion?


The lightning damage applies before the conversion so you get the full effect of lightning damage and half the effect of cold damage (because only half your damage is converted) so storm weaver is 37.5% damage for you.

My take on Non-Crit-Arc:

I would prefer starting as Shadow and a different tree with more cast speed. Like this:

Oh well if we're doing EBMOM versions then I'd do it as a witch. More energy shield, and you gain the "prevent interruption from stuns while casting" nodes. I'd drop the HOT and just do wrath / double curse, it's a big point commitment to get all of that -reserve.

Looks good too. I guess there are many different good ways to play it. Though for your tree I'd remove the 4 points for Mental Rapidity (the mana reg is useless) and go for Crackling Speed, even if the Crit Multi is pretty useless as well.

Oh and getting Storm Weaver too in case he gets that unique ring.

I probably play a bit of Talisman league, not on Friday itself though. Much more hype for Ascendancy anyway.
That day I'm moving moving back home for an 8-month vacation so there will be plenty of time.

yeah that makes zero sense.

great patch notes though. lots of deserved buffs and a few nerfs!

edit: chill of corruption got nerfed too, they added that to the patch notes. so a small vaal spark nerf too.

+ Show Spoiler +
A short instance-wide cooldown has been added to many monster skills. Monsters with "bursty" skills have had this cooldown applied to reduce player deaths from fast, hard-to-predict damage. This includes skills such as Leap Slam, Flicker Strike, Shield Charge, Lightning Warp and Arctic Breath. Most of the affected skills are appropriate as initiation skills, but are not ideal when many monsters perform them simultaneously.


IM A SIMPLE MAN. Instant hype.

I'm new to the game. Started two weeks ago.

So people actually make use of these Vaal gems? Vaal Spark was the first I found. And it still feels rather underwhelming to me, having to collect so many souls to use it once.

Can anyone shed a little light?

Vaal spark is actually really strong, you can clear an entire map in about 30 seconds with it if done correctly

new patch hype.

Now the crapshoot of trying to find a viable build starts. Maybe either lightning strike, arc, spark, fireball or idk...

Viable? If you don't care about Atziri like me, I think all of those listed by you are viable. Arc, Lightning Strike and Spark especially seem interesting. Though last time I played Lightning Strike I really didn't like it so I don't think I would now. And Fireball probably isn't that hot. I'd rather try Magma Orb.

The change that gives zone wide cooldown to bullshit monster skills (leap, flicker, etc) is pretty awesome

keit: have you already decided you want to go caster?

Wonder if RF works again

I kinda want to do some sort of walk around, shit dies + some Vaal skill for big packs/ bosses. Maybe fireball + chain?

They did nerf vaal spark indirectly by nerfing chill of corruption. Also to get the 30 second map clears you needed a map with an easy layout and good mob density and a lot of expensive gear. The build slows down so much if you can't constantly have vaal spark active.
