What stats should i aim for when trying to get a 6L replacement for chest ?

I currently have 48% damage increase tabula, but i will start to miss some res if i swap my helm for a inward prophet :/

How do you get your firsts 6L after tabula ? Do you buy trash res 6L or directly aim for 10% MoM (7 ex lol) or Defiance Cloak (7ex too) ?

Thanks in advance !

rolling a shaper chest isn't hard, you can craft it yourself (10% mom) Cloak of Defiance is a nice alternative, otherwise a decent rare with life/mana rolls and the unveil craft for 8% life/mana is solid.

Has anyone tested out Indigon? Should increase the damage dramatically?

hi, how many buttons do you need to press on this build, was thinking of rolling it on console launch later today, but hard to press to many buttons on a controller ;)

Thanks for the guide, don't understand what people have been complaining about as everything has been clearly explained and it works very well. Pretty much all of my deaths have been because of mistakes I've done while getting to know how it works. Or while leveling with absolutely garbage gear without being res capped.

When would you go Agnostic? I'm at ~5k mana, 4k life right now. I should be able to get to at least 6k by replacing my gloves, boots, and offhand with items that give me more mana.

Just off the top of my head:
1 for BB
1 for BF
1 for movement/arcane cloak
1 for flame dash/dash/whatever other movement skill you want to use
1 for vigilant strike
1 for arcane sigil

That makes 6 buttons that are required. Now, you can add 3 more if you run vaal RF, vaal grace/haste, portal.

Hi Chemist, thanks for the build.
Can you recommend a good cwdt setup?
Since there are a lot of buttons to press in certain situations, I would like to make my life a bit easier this way.
I tried cwdt with conductivity and seems to work fine.
Is there any other skill I could use in that setup?
I use two sceptres, maybe it is better going shield and tempest shield?

I'm not on hardcore, so no need to be super safe about everything.

yes you keep it level 1, clerical error

Hi, I do not understand this mechanism. If bladefall has a bigger area of effect (so gem lvl 20 instead of gem lvl 1), wouldn't we have more overlap between two bladefall casts?

I honestly didn't even see a difference between lvl 1 and lvl 19 when I compared it, so I doubt it matters really anyway.

I guess a lower BF radius would be better for concentrated single target dps and a bigger one might be a bit more useful for mapping?
But like I said, the difference seemed not really noticable for me anyway.

I don't know, I found the difference to be pretty noticeable between a lv 1 and a lv 20 version. You want as many blades to overlap as possible, having increased aoe spreads them out, which means less DPS overall. I personally think mapping is fast enough even with the less aoe.

For those looking to make the switch to lv 1 spell cascade, make sure your quality for the skill gem is also 0. That or do what I'm doing, and use a lv 1 anomalous spell cascade.

Not Chemist, but look into getting a crusader influenced ring with the mod, "curse enemies with conductivity on hit", that'll save you both gem sockets and manually using conductivity.

If you haven't already done so, put arcane cloak on LMB. Other ways to save clicks is to get sceptres with "trigger a socketed spell when you use a skill and throw sigil of power on it. That said, I personally wouldn't recommend that option because it stops you from using sigil where you actually want to place it.

Thanks Chemist, having a blast with this build. Wondering if someone cleverer than me could have a peek at my gear and tell me what to go for next? Feeling pretty tanky already sitting at 6.2k mana but if I could eke out some more dmg that would be nice. Thanks!

Better flasks: look into a taste of hate and take your pick between wise oak (if you're res is balanced), rumi's concoction, kiara's determination.

Better sceptre: specifically, look into replacing "spirit spell karui sceptre", you want a higher mana roll, and take your pick between a good spell damage/lightning damage/flat lightning damage roll. It may be a bit hard to get all good rolls since these don't exactly exist on the market, but crit chance and crit multi does absolutely nothing for this build.

Helmet with an enchant: should only be 4-5ex on a market for a crown with "blade blast deals 40% more damage"

Gems: Cheap upgrades like a 21/20 BB, awakened lightning penetration, awakened elemental focus are easy to get. Also look into alternate quality gems for things like arcane cloak and arcane surge.
Shaper gloves: i85 fingerless silk gloves with shaper influenced are more on the expensive side atm, but if you just want a pair with lv 18 faster casting, they're only around 2ex

Conductivity on hit ring: should be around 10-20c and it saves you some clicks

Boots: 30% ms, good life/mana/res two-toned boots are easy to get
