Hey :)

Pretty interesting setup you have. I dont usually try to raise phys reduction myself at all, as Temp Chains and kiting keeps physical packs at bay and bosses manifest 1-hit kill moves nicely. Armor / reduction has to be pretty high to actually make difference in Minotaur or Shaper fights.

it's a 10th question about fitting all auras in the last 5 days. You could add this topic in FAQ section to avoid explaining over and over. :)

how can i use 3 auras? i cant get that much mana reservation
;/

Hey :)

"Leadership" and "Sovereignty" with its lower nodes both give reduced mana reserved. If you take both, you can run 2x blasphemy curses with Enhance and Discipline. There will still be enough mana to shield charge and use skill for Elemental Equilibrium.

Havent tested Aspect of the Crab myself also as I don't have the items, but them being armor and not ES base makes them pretty non-optimal for EHP.

I think I'm missing something because i can't use Temporal Chains, Elemental Weakness and Discipline after I took Leadership from the passive tree. Each has 34% mana reserved now.

I don't have Enhance Support (but it has a 115% mana multiplier so the curses shoud reserve more, right?).

Noob here, so most probably is some mechanic I didn't understand.

I feel kinda blocked because I wanted Discipline for the ES and for Commander of Darkness.

No worries, mate. We are all here to help.

maybe you should update the final passive tree with sovereignty?

I take this idea even further. Chaos golem, phys reduction pantheon nodes, Arctic Armor and Lightning Coil. Without any flask you get ~40% phys dmg reduction. Popping basalt brings it over 50%.

I am planning to record couple videos next week, as a proof of concept. Stay tuned.

True, I don't actually try to reduce boss physical damage, as most of the time almost everything can be avoided easily.
It's more for my mapping QoL, as I tend to play using my quartz flask (+CWDT phase run), running through packs of mobs and letting golems kill everything while I run (not kiting at all :D) so it's more a way to avoid dying from bad hit, so keeping around 30-40% reduction is far enough for me (especially when I play with IIQ items, like I currently do)

After, if you want to min/max physical damage reduction, you can easily go to around 75%, if you use aspect of the crab, but this'll need to change a few passives / items, and will probably work better with a full life build (instead of hybrid) as crab items are not really ES sadly.

edit:
Also Primordial Eminence jewels improve that physical damage reduction (as it boost by 30% golem buff iirc), so it might add a few % more.

More numbers, in case someone is interested in these (G: golems, PE: primordial eminence, just in case):
G:7, PE: 0 -> 11% added physical reduction from chaos golem
G:7: PE: 1 -> 12.2%
G:7: PE: 2 -> 13.4%
G:7: PE: 3 -> 14.6%
G:7: PE: 4 -> 15.8%
G:7: PE: 5 -> 17%
G:7: PE: 6 -> 18.2%

I don't think someone will ever run that much eminence anyway (or more), but at least there's the data :)
