You need leech enchant, but before I had the enchant I spent 3 extra points to get Mind Drinker, to the right of Nullification. Or you can try to get a jewel with a 0.4% Mana Leech but I haven't really tried that, just a thought :P

Alright I'm at level 89 with the VB variant of this build so far. It's pretty fun, screen-wide shatters when you warp in and press EK are really satisfying. All guardians down, even did hydra deathless at 82.

Some observations -

I am not using clarity at all, and am running blasphemy warlord's mark instead. It's really nice and I prefer it to the clarity setup. It's slightly more gem slot hungry but I still fit everything I wanted in.

Flasks are huge for this build, so getting a good flask duration roll on your belt is really nice. Also, having the flask effect/duration nodes on the tree by early 90s level-wise is probably worth it.

Reduced warp duration helm enchant feels pretty nice, but not game-changing or anything. If you rely on your onslaught/quicksilver flask, and just run instead of warping, then sticking to EK proj speed or damage enchants is fine.

Dream fragments is nice QoL for the build. Recommend it.

Phys reflect is annoying, even with atziri's promise and ToH up. That and getting silenced and not being able to leech have been most of my deaths on the char so far.

The build feels a little bit squishy when ToH and smoke cloud from rebirth are not up. You can leech through just about anything, but if for some reason you aren't leeching, you can die pretty damn fast in dangerous red maps. Not a big issue on SC though.

My current setup, still testing, 60k in HO. 63k whit golem in HO, 7.7k ES
I dont have proper flask's, need better gloves/ring + i have no luck after 40 hits enhant on boots.

Starting your build now. Short question: why herald of ice instead of herald of ash? That would give us more DPS imo

Nevermind, let's wait for someone to chip in as I don't really know why either.

Well quick update, Managed to get this earlier for 12ex, so I can easily switch from empower to pierce while running maps for clearing and boss fights.

Herald of Ice helps a ton with clear speed and one-tapping large packs, especially because the build doesn't get full pierce. It's also super satisfying and fun, and in the variant I'm playing, it's responsible for keeping up power charges while mapping.

Hey, great build! Very fast cleer speed, but i have mana problems. I took mana drinker node and primal spirit node and still i got mana problems, my gear isnt greatest and i cant take lab enchant for boots. Any suggestions how can i fix my mana problems?

Hi, i have a question for you guys that use poe calcs and so.

I'm an essence drain lover, every single league. Found out this build shares some gear, shavs, chayula, whalers... but as you know ED use 3 green, 2 blue and 1 red (is really expensive to get 3G again or another shav) so i was going to use pierce instead controlled destruction. Looks like spell echo and casting are BIS at blue sockets.

May get less dps but what really want to know if i will overcap critical strikes without controlled destruction, because i could relocate some critical nodes on projec nodes or even more ES since is somewhat hard to get more than 10k ES with dual wield and shav's.

Saw some kind of "planner" posted by archet, could use that if i know the web or app name.

Currently lvl 50 without ascendancy neither arcane potency have 25% crit chance without charges.

Thanks in advance.

After not being happy with big 6 boss performance despite 1 million tooltip - I've been playing with Path Builder and thats actually color of chest we want.

EK
EMP or LL
CD
ECHO
Poison
Void manip boss and swap for pierce when farming

Turns my 1 million into 3.3 million real DPS.

Use vinks for LL/Shock and run vuln and projectile weakness on blas or OoS.

Now I just need to roll those color. :P
