[3.9][HC/SC] Soulrend Trickster - Fast mapper with great defenses (League starter/All content)

How can i get enough strength to wear that shield?

How do you feel about Skin of the Loyal as alternative ?
You do loose around 200 energy shield but gain so much more overall defenses and damage especially if using an empower +4

What to do craft?

Actually with the diadem the extra points saved by skipping EB could go into Charisma and then sovereignty for 46% reduced mana reserved. Should allow ya to run grace, malevolence, zealotry, and discipline with 99.9% of mana reserved by my calculations. Sounds pretty amazing to me.

Might take the extra res node by resourcefulness if needed. And purity of flesh for the good life / chaos res.

Could run Arctic Armour instead of discipline too. Would save 1 skill point in the sovereignty wheel if using a enlighten and then put AA in a solo socket like a unset ring.

Whats a good chest armor to replace the belly of the beast? i can easily cap resistances without it, and survivability is fine aswell. i thought of going staff and kaom's but am not sure how much dps i will lose. Is queen of the forest an option? perfect form? am very confused XD

But then you have 99.9% mana reserved how are you casting if not from EB ES

Diadem gives you EB

Any alternatives for the body armor slot for CI version? I'm not rly into zoom zoom.. Can't pick between Regalia/Kintsugi/Perfect Form/Fox's something or rare es/eva armor..

I can't see the point on using EB. If I use the mom version with the gear of the EB version I get around 5k life, 1.3k ES and 2k mana. Our mana is protecting the ES and ES is protecting our life plus with Patient Reaper we recover our life, ES and mana. Isn't that better than the full EB version?? (5.3k life + 2.5k ES)

You are correct that this build is extremely tanky without EB given that ghost dance fully recovers ES while the Jade flask is running at 30k evasion.

I think the idea is that in order to maximize the effectiveness of MoM you want 1/3 of mana to life ratio. Now I dunno about you but I got about 2k mana pool, so running just grace or malevolence it's 1k mana unreserved.

MoM only protects life not ES, so running 5k hp and 1k mana is pretty well balanced but MoM is doing nothing so long as you have ES. By using EB it makes MoM always effective and gives malevolence in addition to grace. Or with the diadem it gives you malevolence, grace, zealotry, and arctic armor or discipline. I think arctic armor will be better than discipline to hit the ideal hp / es ratio and with how much ES recovery is granted by ghost dance / escape artist. Will have to play it a bit and see.

I agreed with your sentiment, it took the diadem to really sell me on EB given that it allows me to run 4 auras and refunded 10 passive points. It might perform better for delving and maybe certain fights to not have EB so I might switch back to a normal ES helm for that, we'll see. Of course I refunded all the mana passives so I'm down to 1k mana now and lost of bit of ES from arcane will too.

Can't see the point in using EB?? I wouldn't even reply to that.
