Loving the build so far. Just a quick question with MoM. As soon as I took this point, my mana is getting drained straight away (from incoming damage). I have pruchased a Wurms Molt and have a mana leech ring, but this doesnt seem to be helping. Any tips?

It's not a problem I'm experiencing. Are you running only hatred? Have you taken the mana leech nodes on the tree yet? If you are doing ele damage you won't leech with the mana leech items. Also, you'll want to get your labs finished up for the mana regen.

My character feels more fragile since I obtained Vaal pact node

Feel free to leave it off, personal preference. I find it helpful for endgame bosses to regain all life back fast. Maybe at lower levels the life regen is better.

I haven't taken the mana leech passives yet, your guide has MoM far before any leech passives. I assume you mean Spirit Void down near Vitality Void?

I was running Hatred and Herald of Ash, but even just with Hatred a few big hits was taking all my mana. Maybe I'm too squishy?

Thanks

Edit: What attack skill would you recommend? Blade flurry over LS?

Since I'm playing with Aegis Aurora (more fun than playing with The Surrender imo) the guide tells me to link Molten Shell (I'm basically following the "Premium Setup") in my CWDT setup and I'm a little confused. Is the armor and damage worth it? I don't get what I gain from this gem.

Maybe your attack skill is using too much mana for your level. Try blade flurry or molten strike. LS is definitely an advanced option, not the highest dps, it's more for safety.

Definitely drop HoA after getting MoM. You can wait for mana leech nodes, take them early, or just make sure you are doing physical damage so your leech items actually work (don't convert it all to elemental).

Anything we put there short of an active spell will be very minor so this little buff is fine.

Is Damage on Full Life good with Lightning Strike if I'm playing Aegis Aurora? My DPS seems to be higher with it. I'm subbing Maim out for Damage on Full Life, or is it just not the best skill to mantain Full Life? I'm going Lightning Strike since it seems like the safest gem to use with Varunastra setup (playing HC) and I have Varunastra and 6L so the deeps is there.

Melee Physical Damage gives me the highest tooltip DPS (even higher than Damage on Full Life). I'm confused why Maim is the best in the slot.

melee physical damage doesn't work for the projectiles and that safety range is the whole point. The tooltip for LS is irrelevant.

Damage on full life is good but when you need the dps the most it won't be there. Great for mapping but not bossing.

Maim or Elemental Focus are the two best all around IMO for that last slot.

Today I learned, thanks for fast answers as always, love the build!

Hey there!

Thanks a lot for the guide Sovyn, it's very detailed and easy to understand. That said, I feel like my character is not as powerful as it could be and it is increasingly frustrating me. The thing is, I have more than 250 hours played on Path of Exile and I feel like I'm just slowly starting to understand some basics... I usually end up quitting a league after a few days/weeks because I feel like I'm not progressing and I don't understand why. This time, I decided to learn anything I can to get better and make the game more enjoyable.

I'm currently able to do T10 maps (except the occasional one shot from the syndicate but based on the subreddit, I'm not the only one :P), but I feel like I'm slow and my gameplay feels clunky.

I'm sorry to ask such a broad question, but does anyone see any obvious mistake that I could fix to improve my character?

Thanks!

PS: The character in question is TemplumyToo
