Decided to replace change 1 node on the large cluster jewel.

Since this build doesn't need the spell block chance from the Mage Hunter node anymore and the uptime of the Power Charges seem questionable, I went with Arcane Heroism:




The full jewel:


The advantage of this is that it actually gives slightly better dmg then Mage Hunter, while also making it much easier to sustain Arcane Surge on bosses.

On the offchance that the Power Charges were up though, it was ofcourse slightly easier to keep up Elemental Overload, but that, for me, doesn't seem to make any difference.
The choice is yours ^^

Nice! Thanks for the info.

We had a long discussion about this when we were theory crafting and we knew to toss Mage Hunter but the replacement choice was not clear.

My recommendation is as follows:

Use Practice Caster until the medium clusters are in place. This helps mitigate the stuns and the medium clusters are in VERY short supply so far this league.

Do you know if Arcane Heroism will proc Arcane Surge AFTER Arcane Surge has run out via Arcane Adept with out having to release? That would be a nice feature for the bosses that we can face tank to keep our dps up with out having to release and reproc Arcane Surge via Adept.

I'm feeling very good about where my build is right now, but last night something killed me very fast. I saw my ES drain then my life drain. I think it most likely was corrupted blood, since I had my bleed trigger, and my life flasks had ignite and poison removal. I also have max fire and high chaos resist, so only thing is the corrupt blood. Now I'll have to sacrifice 2 points to fit in a jewel with corrupted blood protection... :(

I tested it, and yes! It does reproc!

@Andy thanks for confirming that. For now I put a life flask with bleed removal at my first (panic) position. BTW is there a place where it lists all the new modifiers? The names got all changed and doesn't seem consistent to me, and I dont have bleed removal at Einhar altar...

Another hobo tip - since whispers of doom is so expensive, change that second curse into culling strike, so reckoning can knock the heads of near dead bosses.

Usually around this time is when I get bored and start shopping for an alt, but this league's mechanic (which to be honest isn't that engaging) is so rippy I think my other standard alts (totems) will get boned hard. Sticking with this build for now, trying to save up for better stuff.

Happy to help! A big part of what makes this build fun is our interactive discussions!

I naturally capped my chaos resist with gear, now I wonder what major god is best. Arakaali still gives 10% reduced dot damage, our biggest weakness, but its upgrades are meh.

Maybe back to brine king? Like you said medium clusters are expensive, so I dont have unwavering yet (much less having 2 of them). I'm not sure how helpful stun/block recovery is either, if we dont get interrupted casting from stuns, and we can still block while stunned.
