Thats a very nice wand, you crafted it?


I would drop the Atziri's Promise for a regular Amethyst flask that you can craft on. I would also spend some time rolling the other flask you are using to better tier affixs.

Your POB isn't showing a Pantheon, you do have a Major/Minor selected, correct?

If you hit me up in game, i may have a extra cluster jewel for ya. IGN: NvrPlayinRangerAgain

I followed the base version of the build. But my kitava is not triggering the frostbolt. I know it needs 100 mana to trigger, but my mana cost is low for some reason. How can I fix this issue?
Here is my pob: https://pobb.in/s-KqF8VYQmeZ

Your militant faith is reducing your mana cost too much. Without it you'll have 204 mana cost, 231 if you also remove the point in mana mastery on the tree. Just get a new militant faith. I'm not sure why it lowers your cost so much, when i add it to my tree i go down from 289 to 233. My Militant Faith doesn't have modifiers we use so its just for inner conviction. Mine gives channeling skill damage and totem damage.

Speaking of my tree, I've acquired Bottled Faith and Unnatural Instinct, as well as 7% inc cast speed on my wand. https://pobb.in/LD__ouP8t35R

You were right! Changing that jewel fixed the issue! By the way, I have one more question. Light of meaning jewel with Lightning damage doesn't seem to be on trade website. I am guessing it is rare? Should I wait and acquire the one with lightning damage or is there another stat that is useful on it?(Temporarily)

Yup i crafted with recombinators. got really lucky tbh, had a t2 spell damage upgraded to t1, and then got my 5mod wand on the first try. i have never gotten another t1/t2 spell damage.

Yeah, the same pantheon that everyone selects for this build lol.

ive added ya!

Looking at POB in web view, so not in the best spot to look at the config. Few suggestions for the build though.

DO FIRST: Light Eater/Instant Leech. You should really map over to those nodes (top right of tree branch. These are a huge boost to recovery.

Solid suggestions, some of which I've already incorporated.

I did move arcane cloak into a 4link on my boots with arcane surge. With the arcane surge gem and the 7% inc cast speed runecraft, frostblink is more than fast enough. I might try for making the runecraft a max roll later, but im out of runes currently and its just another 3% inc cast speed, nothing game changing.

I have Assassin's Mark on autocast for the extra crit chance. I may swap it for punishment when I do harder content like t17s or the last two waves in simulacrum, but my incoming damage is low enough in Burial Chambers that I don't feel a need to lose a few crit chance for mapping. Killing blows being reflected on enemies might be nice for mapping, but it seems overkill with this much damage being dealt already.

I really really like recoup. I was planning to path into the life recoup wheel and grab the mastery to make recoup effects occur over 3 seconds as a nice complement to Graven's Secret belt. I currently have 87% of ele being recouped as ES, I'll have 99% if I ever find myself able to drop Mind Drinker annoit for Infused. The 10% mana recoup mastery is small, but I find it a nice complement to mana regen, which I feel is a little low at 1272. Between 644 mana used per second, Arcane Cloak, and incoming damage, I'm frequently low on mana. Not enough to stop casting, but enough to lessen my defenses causes there's not as much mana to take hits. I'll need to grab a Militant Faith with reduced mana costs for sure, but besides that I'm not sure how else to get more regen or lower costs. I was using clarity and a watchers eye for awhile, but I swapped that out for two more curses on Arcanist Brand and a Purity of Elements Watcher's Eye. Oh Mana Leech gem, how I weep for thee...

I did have Light Eater and the Leech mastery for instant leech, but I took those 6 points and used them elsewhere when I got a cluster jewel with Doryani's Lesson and Storm drinker for Life and ES leech respectively. I wasn't running content hard enough to warrant instant leech on top of recoup. At this point, I'm not sure where I could recover the points if I stick with recoup. Maybe dropping the Arcanist's Dominion and Domination nodes above witch? I'd lose 10% crit chance, 5% cast speed, and 20% inc spell damage, but it may prove more effective in the long run. I suppose those wont feel as bad to lose when I work on getting a better wand.

I also plan to replace my filler rare jewel with Replica Reckless Defense for additional block chance. I'll be at 82/85 effective block chance after :)

The light of meaning jewel drops from King of the Mist, which can be fought via an invitation that you can acquire from either Ritual mechanic or Kingsmarch mappers.

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/The_King_in_the_Mists

Invitations cost ~1div each, and jewel drop rate is about ~20%.

Jewel has 13 outcomes when identified, unweighted. About ~7.5% to roll lighting damage.



You could use the +Mana light of meaning if you want to stick with light of meaning. If you want a more available/cheaper alternative, just get a normal jewel with damage stats (%lightning dmg, % damage %crit multi, etc)

It's rather rare, and highly sought after because of this build. If you want to use a Light of Meaning without lightning damage on it, I'd try one with crit chance, mana, or cold damage. Use Path of Building to see which one would be best for you.

If you still have that Militant Faith with reduced mana costs and mana regen, I'll buy it from you! --- Bought it off him, and now my mana costs are too low! why are these mods recommended on the jewel if it gimps us so drastically? --- oh, its an avarius mod, not dominus. its allocating power of purpose and converting 80% of mana to armor.

Could anyone take a look at mine and see what would be able to be improved?
I'm only in my second league. I'm managing T16 strongboxes and delerium not to bad, but wondered about pushing and trying T17s.

Should add wealthyexile thinks I have about 40divine net worth, but only about 9-10 divine is fully liquid (I've noticed that the currency exchange rates seem to be awfully bad compared with the trade site - I assume because theres less people plaing)
