yeah you're right. in that case you could go Soul Tether + damage on full life. if you find that unreliable, honestly going Fortify ascendency node + Fortify Support is better for overall damage. The fortify gem gives a decent amount of extra damage over the maim gem. For clearing, the extra upfront damage is better than maim since you are one shotting, and for bossing you should always put down your totem, so maim should be online

in any case I'm going Slayer so decision is easy for me xD - the Lifetap support gem isn't too bad for early game mana management.. not sure how much of a loss in damage that is though

I also threw together an Ice Trap Raider, which is a bit scuffed but gets a ton of defensive layers, utitility and stats from the tree so I don't have to pay a lot of attention to gear choices. Probably going to be my starter (fuck me).

Holy shit, was just coming to ask people to talk me out of starting an Ice Trap Raider and pray the Temple of Atzoatl changes are impactful re: uniques/vials. Would you mind sharing your PoB, Miragee?
(I was looking at various Saboteur ones to edit; stumbled across this Raider one in Ventrua's Discord: https://pastebin.com/eAej8HrN )

Btw.: How do you make PoB show the total dps in the bottom left? My own PoBs never do that. Not that it matters much but I would still like to know.

I threw together a Champion VGS build yesterday and PoB tells me Maim does more damage than Fortify if the enemy is maimed. If you are one-shotting during mapping anyways and maim the boss via totems, then it's still more damage than Fortify when it matters or am I missing something. And yeah, I would consider Life Tap as well, especially with the new Vitality Extraction cluster I just path by. PoB is not up to date with the new gems so there is no telling how much of a damage loss it is. Probably also depends on whether I can fit another aura if I use Life Tap.

I don't know if it got nerfed or changed, but typically you would do Chaos Slinger (ED + friends) and it's super duper fast. It takes a lot of inventory micro though, due to all the socket pressure

Reserving Mana or Life no longer involves spending anything - so you don't need any current Mana to turn on an Aura, you just need enough of your Mana orb to be unreserved that the Aura's reservation will fit. However, while previously reservations were mutually exclusive with costs, this is no longer the case and it's possible for a skill to have both a reservation and a cost, in which case the cost will still require spending (but using a reservation skill a second time to 'turn it off' does not require paying the cost again). The most notable case of this is Mine skills - these all have costs as well as reservations, which must both be satisfied to use the skill, and can each be modified separately. This also means that mechanics that add to the costs of skills, such as the Voidbringer unique gloves, will now affect skills with reservations, which previously escaped this due to being unable to have both. Likewise, Support gems that add a Mana reservation to skills, such as Blasphemy, no longer inherently remove the cost as part of that process.

I just read the infernal cry text. Do I understand it correctly and you don't get reflected damage by using it. So u could just switch it in to do reflect maps, or am I miss understanding it.

This means that both modifiers to costs and reservation both affect their appropriate parts of mine costs, so Indigon no longer provides spell damage without affecting mine costs at all.
