This is focused a bit more on increasing the buffs - if we are going to run this many auras, might as well take advantage!

Do you think its still possible to get Discpline to be "free" with EB? With 41% reduced reservces and +94% to buffs, I'd like to see what the math is on it (I'm not sure how everything stacks up).

This only uses 101 points, so plenty left for life or damage nodes, or there are some crazy evasion nodes right there where you can get like +100% which may be too good to pass up.

Which nodes should I switch around if I want to use spectral throw instead of EK?

Sorry for the noobish question, I'm still trying to wrap my head around this tree :/

This is another option you can go with, I felt it takes too much away from HP to be viable on Nemesis though. I too would love to see the math on how much the auras are really worth!

Why iron will? Why wouldnt you be using add fire or some something else?

PS: Ive never had an EK character.

Added fire is actually quite a bit better early on, but really late when you have a level 20 Iron Will you will probably have around ~250 strength which gives 50% more spell damage, which is better then Added Fire.

Isn't in Increased Damage? +50% Spell Damage isn't as good as Added Fire. Iron Will has the benefit of being FREE, though.

Even with this build I think you can get almost as much life as you have in your original build, but you'll be sacrificing damage nodes.

I feel like I am missing something though - what is the benefit of EB unless you can get Discipline up and running? What kind of armor do you plan on using?

EB is used so you can run 3 auras (4 with clarity on HP), Arctic Armor, and still run EK off of mana. Honestly it might turn out late game that you don't even need EB, but it would be quite easy to spec out of so it wouldn't be a very big deal.

But where are you getting your energy shield from to make it useful? Its been a while since I played, but it used to really only be worthwhile if you were running discipline+IF with it, otherwise you are sacrificing a lot of armor stats in order to make it useful.

Btw, some rough calculations seems like you could run Disc too if you got enough +buff % nodes, depends on how much base mana you have though. With Alphas, I think it becomes fairly easy.
