Hi, I'm kinda stuck right now. I'm aiming to get a good stygian belt with +%chaos damage and +%cold resistance to maximize my perfect form's evasion bonus, which should cost upwards of 100chaos.

But right now, with flasks up, POB says I have approximately 550k DOT with essence drain only, which I feel like isn't that much as I don't even one-shot monolith legions. As for guardians, phoenix wasn't too much trouble as I could safely evade most of his attacks but minotaur just completely crushed me, sometimes by one-shotting me with his burrow attack...
I have 5.3k hp, 920 ES and 11k evasion unbuffed, with Arctic Armour, Flesh and Stone and Malevolence.

I also have 7 skill points to assign but I don't really know where to use them. Speaking of which, should I also unpick Acrobatics and the 3 Acrobatics improvement now that I have perfect form?

By the way, what's the skill combo to use? Bane/Despair + Essence drain and then spam blight? Or straight up spam Bane/Despair and spam Essence drain?
Because with Flesh and Stone + Malevolence, I only have 240 mana to play with so I run out of mana extremely quickly if I spam ED...

I have approximately 7ex to play with for gear improvements.

I'd gladly appreciate any feedback :)

I'm just wondering how you would adjust skill gems if you wanted to use impresence to use despair with blasphemy?

I rolled with that for a little while when I was wanding with ED/Contagion. I just had my Flame Dash in a different spot and used Discipline, Malevolence, and Despair + Blasphemy in this

I forget where I had Arctic Armor, maybe my boots? My wand actually had my Contagion setup as I had a shaped 5L multi-modded wand, and my CwDT setup was in my shield. ED in my chest, and Vaal Blight Totems in my gloves. So yeah, I think I had Flame Dash, Arctic Armor, Vaal RF with Portal or something in the boots. It wasn't the most optimal setup - but I didn't keep it for long.

Hmmm it seems a tad redundant to put the blasphemy/despair in that helmet since impres gives 100% reduced mana use anyways rigt? Might be able to get an entirely extra skill or two in that slot with the 20% reduced mana reserve, but I'm not sure. I'm just curious to see others thoughts

His question didn't make any sense to begin with because he doesn't even have his links setup. Have you looked at his character? He's running a tabula and has empty sockets all over the place. The opportunity cost of NOT selling that amulet to get out of his leveling gear is tremendous, and it's not even worth taking his post seriously as a legitimate question imo lol.

You're not wrong. I hadn't even considered the amulet. Honestly, it seems overrated for its cost, so I wouldn't even use it to begin with. Others may have differing/better thoughts/opinions on it, but it feels like a waste of exalts to me.

$0.02

I have an empty Tabula because i'm using a bow worth more than anything you've made this league :P

I get you're not a fan of the way he reacted to you/your question, but your bow is definitely not worth more than a headhunter. Just sayin'.

I already have the amulet because of a previous toon, I was hoping it would work well with this build as well as I don't like manually casting curses/armors. I appreciate you trying to help me though :)

No worries. :)
