Which wands/sceptres would you recommend for the early map game? (when you don't have enough currency to buy good rare one) Any unique that will do the work?

Enki literally gives you an option in the gear section.
Hi,
Thanks for this wonderful build guide, I am new to this game and following this build, I am level: 86 now.
I have one question: should the the weapons that I carry be the same?
4. Mindfulness is trash, use a Scintillating Idea jewel instead.
...
Occasional 1-shots are a part of life with this build almost inevitably, but you can definitely avoid the vast majority with proper planning and playing. Upping your damage output and mana recovery will help a lot on their own.
why are there 2 mindfulness (small) cluster jewels in Enki's PoB, if it's trash ?
15% increased mana and 80% mana while stationary is hardly trash. Once i had them installed i really noticed the difference. also, i found disorienting display to be a major help in surviving, but of course, as the PoB says, the best option is disorienting display AND scintillating idea.
unfortunately in this game running the hardest content is about dodging the 1-shot mechanics and mostly having the DPS too make sure that doesn't take too long, because taking too long means you'll make a mistake and get 1-shot.
if you're getting killed with 9k mana, 10k mana isn't going to do a thing for you (assuming you have sufficient regen !), you definitely want to boost DPS with the currency you have.
Hi guys, I'm playing my first league and found this build after some (short) research and I'm having a good time playing with it.
Now I'm at lv93 and looking for endgame content, I'm having trouble searching for items that can improve my resistances (they aren't all 75% and my chaos is still -40%). I have about 6-9ex to spend on better items but I don't really know the best way to spend my currency.
My character is public and any feedback is valid.
Thank you very much.
I've made an example search for gloves, but you could alter the values depending on how strict you want to be. (I really like the nexus gloves, but you could take the implicit out) https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ritual/e6aVrrWcL The phoenix hold gloves for 50c seems like a pretty good deal, but idk if they'll be there when you open the link. :P
I'd probably suggest you upgrade your boots to decent life+mana and 30% movement speed and some resistances first. Then look to upgrade your gloves and belt.
On the nonresistance upgrades:
Also look to put some catalysts on your amulet and anoint it with mind drinker or mana flows. Get a watcher's eye with increased mana recovery rate while affected by clarity. And try to upgrade the abyss jewel in your belt, this one doesn't really add too much for us. Focus on life+mana. The same for any normal jewels you'll be using still.
Thank you for the trade link for gloves, I saw the Phoenix Hold Gloves but the account is not online :P
When you say to upgrade my boots, do you mean use the one that I'm wearing now or seach for a better one with this stats and enchant it myself? I'm kinda lost on how to craft gear in general.
On the nonresistance:
I'll try to use the catalysts and anoint the itens with your suggestions, will search for better jewel as well but I think this shouldn't be hard. The Watcher's Eye isn't too expensive? I'll look for it in the trade site.

many thanks.
If by "same" you mean 2 wands or 2 daggers or 2 scepters then yes and no. Wands can only be dual wielded with other wands but scepters and daggers can be wielded together. Hope that answered your question.

Thank you for the help in general <3
You're welcome. For your boots, I'd suggest getting new ones, mainly because the 30% movement speed is so nice to have. And then indeed enchant them yourself, and make sure you get the 70% instead of the 50% mana regen.
( https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ritual/MJOrVOqhJ ) For a very basic link to some decent boots. You may have to adjust numbers depending on what you need.
1. Most importantly, I bet your Elemental Overload isn't procking consistently. Keep an eye on it during mapping and bossing to see if I'm correct. If I am, getting additional increased spell crit--weapons with t1 affixes and/or running a secondary damage spell is/are easiest way(s)--will help your average sustained damage quite a bit.
An Atziri's Promise will give you a decent damage boost with no perceptible loss in survivability.
I was wondering about your thoughts on bottled faith over atziri's promise, Worder. It can constrain your movement a bit versus bosses (similar as the sigil), but I feel like you want to find moments where you can stand and burst your damage onto them a lot of the time anyways, so might not be an issue. And it adds a lot of crit chance and some extra damage taken.
I believe you can use BF and then move, as long as the enemy is on consecrated ground you don't have to be but would lose the life regen buff. Regardless of consecrated ground you still receive a nice damage increase from the implicit.
It holds three charges so you can create more consecrated ground if you use more charges which can be good outside of boss fights. I used mine a lot last league in Simulacrum, run around dropping consecrated ground in a smallish area with a lot of enemies.
The reason it is so valuable for boss fights is that it holds three charges, for mapping that isn't of much help as you already have enough damage and can refill other flasks. In comparison you get one use of a Cinderswallow Urn or two uses of an Atziri's Promise. I might be wrong but I also think that BF lasts for longer.
Bottle Faith is extremely good and I intend to swap my life flask for one the next time I get one to drop. I sold the two I have found because at 8ex there were more significant improvements that could be purchased.
Yes, I agree with all of this. Bottled Faith is a BiS flask for a huge swath of builds, one of which is ours (though obviously it'd be comparatively even better if this were a crit build).
