Need help with crafting.

I picked up this base :

It's got +12%int and T1 res with an open suffix, so that's very interesting, as I can block suffixes and then do... something. That's where I need help.

From what I understand, I can't use Essences or fossils. I want to craft high-tier defenses, but I don't have 40div to spare on numerous attempts. What would be the best way to continue the craft?

I feared so. It cost me 15C, so I picked it up and started thiking about possible crafts, but I don't know the odds of getting good prefixes with Harvest "reforge with defenses".

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find something to my liking to slam, except one that I slammed Warlord instead of Crusader (I'm so stupid).

Still looking, I guess, but it's a pain. I just can't stand hitting alts 2-3 thousand times to try to get something decent. Last league I was super lucky and it already stretched my sanity.

I'll wait some more I guess...

My friend, don't spend currency and orbs in vain, just buy something like

with increase % int , int and some res\es. Buy 20 exas and 20 annuls before that.
I had to use on my chest 3 annuls and 3 exas to reach these mods. They aren't perfect but still good for me.

I am 95 lvl and i have 10500 ES now. I am going for the jewel socket i told before to place there my Emperor's wit 5% but now i just invested 3 nodes to the Path of The Savant in the scion cirle. That gave me from 9900 to 10500 ES and some damage and mana. Seems to be good, as i think.

I think the nodes with RESERVATION for auras and additional spell block are useless.
We must go damage. We are still a glass cannon vs bosses even with these block nodes.
All defence that we have - a dynamical defence from IC and ton of ES. As an ideal, we must kill fat rares and bosses before they kill us.
Our main defence is instant Leech on ES, without it we die, so we must max ES and damage.

We're super tanky, actually. Sure, we won't face tank Uber Shaper's slam, but we can survive the edge, or half a second in the beam. It's a very, very forgiving build when you get all the suggested defense, especially block for mapping. Blocking makes a hell of a difference.

As for reservation, it's used for damage. You can't remove Purity of Element -- it gives us ailment immunity and a crapload of resistances. You can't remove Discipline -- it gives us 10-15% more ES. So the reservation is used to power Aspect of the Spider or Hatred, two damaging auras. Hatred alone is +25-30% more damage.
