Hello, everyone. I'm trying to duplicate the build, however to less avail.

If someone would be as kind to take a look at my character, items and tree and suggest improvement to slot more auras, it would be very appreciated.

@Bluemouse2,

looking at your char, the following aspects came to my mind:

-scepter with cast speed / flat lightning damage:
Relatively cheaply, you should be able to buy a sceptre with cast speed / flat lightning or similar implicits.

-maligaros virtuosity with curse on hit: So long as you don't need a +1 socketed gems for enlighten, you can always get a curse on hit corruption for those gloves. thats not cheap, though.

-I haven't tested ghost reaver. It might be good. If you decide against, voices are at 1 ex per jewel, so you could put those points to use elsewhere.

- increased effectivity of non-curse spells: I use them as last points to finish the character. mostly, because I don't know any better. It might very well be that those points should be allocated earlier. Anyhow: medium cluster jewels with the nodes purposeful harbinger and replenishing (whateber) have one node that usually does nothing, but through the enchantment gives 6% of effectivity of non-curse auras. So with those nodes instead of either heraldry or endbringer, you gain .1% es-regeneration per aura (possibly +450% * increased effectivity of non-.curse auras, but i dont know about that for sure) AND that effectivity. So this might be a way of compensating for ghost reaver.

- bated breath with %increased energy shield corruption: costs only a few chaos, as long as you're fine with the t2 corruption (max 10%), and yields a good amount of es.

- you don't have a useful enchantment at your helmet. grace is relatively cheap in the shield and as -mana reserved enchantment for the helmet. So if you want to use another aura, grace would be the cheapest option that cost no gem slot with with respect to currency and mana reservation cost. IT also helps a lot with survivability.

- higher percentage conversion Watcher's eye should be cheap enough.

Check your weapon for getting closer to 20% inc per cold/lightning. Plus getting quality on the weapon is massive.

How does quality on the weapon add do the damage of the spells? I will check, of course, but up until now I thought those were not related. Thanks.

He means, if you fit:

instead of the Shaper's touch you are currently using, you need to drop Elemental Overload from the tree because it gimps the crit multiplier on Maligaro's gloves. Which gives you 2 more skill points to spend elsewhere. More than likely on jewel sockets. :)

Can I ask why you're using that glove though? I would thought that since we are basically hitting crits every hit, the crit multiplier would really benefit us in the long run.


i have alot of crit multi jewels in my tree didnt want to waste them i guess + on my weapond but im wearing them now

also have this but cant wear it cause i run out of % reserved mana for my aura's
