You have ES? So you dropped EB?

Sorry, not obvious to me - why? Would be nice, then I don't need to save up for Mental Toughness...

That allowed to refund entire pathing to CC, so I could go for Calibration and Desensitisation wheels and jewel slot. Totally worth it.

Can you post the new tree, please?

poe 2 has some really busted interactions.
https://poe2db.tw/us/The_Everlasting_Gaze

Everlasting gaze has "gain 20-30% of maximum mana as extra max energy shield.
This applies AFTER EB. so convert your ES on gear to mana, which doesn't scale with increased es passives, but does scale with gear increased ES.
get yourself 2-5k mana.

then gaze gives you lets say 25% of that for 500-1250 ES. which then does scale with ES passives.
easy to get +100% or so.. giving you 1000-2500 ES. which then you can double again with grim feast.
2000-5000 ES shield..

for some reason they are reporting Mental toughness is not working with spells.
Meanwile, latest gameplay video: https://youtu.be/-jQ92qayatc

Passive tree/gear: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/goe840v6

3.2k ES, 4.4k mana, 450 mana/s, 352 mana on kill (8%).

- Six-linked Blasphemy and CoC.
- Frostbolt has 80% chance to crit with Ambush against Full Life means 80% chance to trigger Mana Flare.
- Respecced most of monk area for templar once more. Got 1k ES from Calibration wheel.
- New sceptre, gloves, and helmet. Need to upgrade the sceptre just once more to fit Clarity.
- Lucky corruption on body - 1 more socket - 903 ES now.
- Acceleration -> Arcane Tempo on frostbolt bc of dropping Snakepit. Frostbolt screams for more castpeed.
- Grim Feast is OP af. Screams to get nerfed. Like Archmage.
- CoC is significantly better than CoF as it is for now.

I don't think I need Conservative Casting by how it looks. It offers me to cast 7.1 frost bombs per mana pool, w/o it - 6.7.

Same goes for more slow. I just headbutting them already. Getting frozen is ok.

lehmip#5825, Casia answered everything right.

Went with Arcane Blossom. Fairly cheap in comparison to most of the good things you listed. I considered Arcane Surge or Dynamism, but they cost a lot =)

Malice is an Aura. how does increased aura effect work for that?
not more stacks.. but, is the effect per stack increased?

Nope, it's an aura that apply debuff that cannot be scaled with aura effect.

Blasphemy transforms curse into an aura, so it can be scaled. Critical Weakness is still a debuff, not an aura itself.

FYI to everyone, Mental Toughness is not working for spells. Going back to Conservative Casting. Wasted some exalts only to discover this.


What's not working? I checked, mana costs are reduced

Does nothing to me. It works for attacks tho.

Btw, Arcane Blossom seems bugged too. It works like "increased", not like "more".
Hi guys, new very detailed video from Ruz with calculations, build is different, I think he's more aligned now with CoC, I would like your thoughts on his build, he uses Chrono skills in his rotation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xLXmWwJi8U

Very useful. He also explains why Mental Toughness doesn't work with CI.

Never thought of Ice Nova to break the walls too.

Yep, quite a few of things to yoink. He's good.
Can confirm that CI is buggy with Mental Toughness. When I remove CI, I see the mana cost reduction.
