I did not see your pob but base from what i can see from your char - EK MUST HAVE phy to lightning watcher.

Thanks for the response. I just realized my Watcher's Eye has phys as extra lightning instead of phys converted to lightning, lol...

maligaro is used to get the 2 passive points and use it at jewel

Could you explain what you mean by this?

He means, if you fit:

instead of the Shaper's touch you are currently using, you need to drop Elemental Overload from the tree because it gimps the crit multiplier on Maligaro's gloves. Which gives you 2 more skill points to spend elsewhere. More than likely on jewel sockets. :)

finally got 52%icrs seems better then before n also using only 1 spell instead of ball & arc

You're gonna have so much fun. The damage is even more evident in simulacrum. I melt kosis in 3-5 sec with smite only. didn't even need to activate VRF.

If your cyclone effective critical strike is above 90% i would suggest that you take Increased critical strike gem out and swap with another support gem for even higher dmg. I use inspiration but I cant remember if it will affect your cyclone APS.

Also, if you have enough mana reservation jewels in your skill tree, you can try to change to a rare helm with 5% mana reservation + [Arc Chains an Additional Time] enchantment. I switched to it and it increased my arc dmg by an additional 350k. I think i may have around 3-5 RMR jewels in order to run that.

I took out my clarity aura and put in flame dash instead for QoL during mapping. really fast and saved me from getting stuck in a few situations.

Can I ask why you're using that glove though? I would thought that since we are basically hitting crits every hit, the crit multiplier would really benefit us in the long run.

Yeah I found that. If you can balance everything up its butter smooth.

Hello, everyone. I'm trying to duplicate the build, however to less avail.

If someone would be as kind to take a look at my character, items and tree and suggest improvement to slot more auras, it would be very appreciated.

Hi there!

I am at work - so I can't access my main account. I have got this account only to write in the forums.

I am currently a herald stacking EK guardian. That guy is pretty tough already, but for some reason, I decided to make it immune to elemental ailments. Looking at poe.ninja, almost nobody does that. Is there a special reason for it? What's missing for me is a decent small cluster jewel. Since I aquired the helmet I am now wearing only last night before I went to bed, I didn't see the need to buy the jewel until now. When I'm back home, this will be the last piece to elemental ailment immunity.

But what then?

Please take a look at my char and help me identify the next steps to improve! This is the link to the character I am talking of:

/edit: possible ways would include 5er voices and the jewel that grants the benefits of unclaimed small nodes in the radius, but I don't want to do those yet, as I hope that I can do cheaper steps for now.

Check your weapon for getting closer to 20% inc per cold/lightning.
I was wrong about weapon quality helping Removed.
Bottled Faith is a huge upgrade, possibly wise oak over taste of hate?

If you can add smite anywhere its a big bonus also.

Also note that its nice to have a lvl 22 discipline but getting a level 22 vitality from your amulet doesn't have the strength requirements like using the skill gem. Vaal Discipline is a decent oh shit button and can be boosted with +2 aoe or +2 aura gems corruptions on helmet/boots.

You might want to check but hatred might give more dps when its in the shield rather than haste.

After all that the next set of upgrades is +2 corruptions
+2 projectile gems on shav's
+2 aoe/aura on shield/helmet/gloves/boots (if they are possible)


Now for my character.

Most of this seems like it can apply to my character also except i need to upgrade my gems and some 6 passive medium cluster jewels to get some jewels added soon.

Is there anything I've missed with my dude that hasnt been mentioned above (corruptions for +2 gems, lvl 21/woke supports, bottled faith)?

@Bluemouse2,

looking at your char, the following aspects came to my mind:

-scepter with cast speed / flat lightning damage:
Relatively cheaply, you should be able to buy a sceptre with cast speed / flat lightning or similar implicits.

-maligaros virtuosity with curse on hit: So long as you don't need a +1 socketed gems for enlighten, you can always get a curse on hit corruption for those gloves. thats not cheap, though.

-I haven't tested ghost reaver. It might be good. If you decide against, voices are at 1 ex per jewel, so you could put those points to use elsewhere.

- increased effectivity of non-curse spells: I use them as last points to finish the character. mostly, because I don't know any better. It might very well be that those points should be allocated earlier. Anyhow: medium cluster jewels with the nodes purposeful harbinger and replenishing (whateber) have one node that usually does nothing, but through the enchantment gives 6% of effectivity of non-curse auras. So with those nodes instead of either heraldry or endbringer, you gain .1% es-regeneration per aura (possibly +450% * increased effectivity of non-.curse auras, but i dont know about that for sure) AND that effectivity. So this might be a way of compensating for ghost reaver.

- bated breath with %increased energy shield corruption: costs only a few chaos, as long as you're fine with the t2 corruption (max 10%), and yields a good amount of es.

- you don't have a useful enchantment at your helmet. grace is relatively cheap in the shield and as -mana reserved enchantment for the helmet. So if you want to use another aura, grace would be the cheapest option that cost no gem slot with with respect to currency and mana reservation cost. IT also helps a lot with survivability.

- higher percentage conversion Watcher's eye should be cheap enough.

You didnt really follow the guide that much. Biggest thing is fixing your cluster jewels.

Cluster Jewels

At least 4/5 - Heraldry + Purposeful Harbringer

Once your heralds reserve like 0-2% mana rest of your mediums should be PH + Endbringer or something else. You only have 6 PH - this build doesn't really do much until you get at least 8.

To reduce points for the medium cluster jewels you ideally want 4/5 added passives with the 2 skills and a jewel socket. If you are budget get 6 passives with 2 skills and jewel socket. This way you only spend 3 passives for each medium cluster instead of 4 (if there is no added jewel socket).

You wont need as much 1% RMR jewels once your heralds cost 0-2% mana instead of 11%.

You'll be out of passives if you use 3x Voices cluster jewels.
Use 2x voices and a large cluster jewel with 8 added passives. This needs to be 3 passives skills + 2 added jewel sockets.

Import my character to see my passives. These jewels will about 100c-1ex per jewel. Having at least 2-3 4/5 added passives is huge.

Gear

Almost any rings are better than what you are using... Buy some COTB or any other ring with ES or provides a herald skill.

6 Link Shavs - you can get one for 1ex-1.5ex (corrupted) these days. Put a live search up, just make sure your colors are alright or youll have to recolor them and that might cost a lot if its corrupted.

20 Life/Mana catalysts on amulet gives another 1% RMR

Boots/belt/gloves can all be upgraded changed - the gloves only work if you stack strength from Split personality jewels with Str+ES.

Upgrade nebulis to a better version.


Gems

Try corrupting your lvl 20 dmg aura gems (wrath, hatred, zealotry).

Hatred isnt doing much for your build because you are doing mostly lightning damage. Call of the brotherhood rings convert lightning damage to cold which allows wrath + hatred to scale hard.

Helmet gems should be your Aura gems - haste/discipline - not heralds as they arent "auras" and dont benefit from the +2 auras.

Enlighten should be linked with bigger mana reservation skills to maximize its reductions. Probably isnt needed once you get more heraldry passives.


EK - I havent tried CWC but it might do better with Cast on crit or self casting with spell echo.

Lots of stuff to do but if you dont have the currency to invest it wont feel good.

Cluster jewels are your starting point
