How hard is it to roll perfect mana reserve from the Circle of Nostalgia. Divines are 10c each and variance is 30-40%. It could get costly lol.

01/06 Update:

Every time I think I am done, someone provides a tip that makes this build even more unfair. Ability to use hatred, skitterbot and flesh and stone together WITHOUT helmet enchant is . . . absurd, and I just realized everyone can do this with the exception of 2R-2G-2B players. Check your POB!

1) Re-wrote the section on Skin of Royal color choices. For newer players feel free to pick something with less damage and mana reservation, makes rest of your game easier/cheaper at all stages.

You will want at least 2 Green 2 Red for Herald of Agony, Pierce, Empower and Damage On Full Life. The last two skills are variable. While Vicious Projectile and Minion Damage provides the best damage and we will use it as baseline, especially with awakened gems, it is also most expensive both in term of mana reserved and price.

Don't be afraid to pick up a different color combination for cheap while you are starting out, or grab a corrupted +2 level to socketed gems Skin of Loyal if a different color is available.

Color Combination | Final Two Skills | Mana Reserved| Damage
2R-3G-1B | Vicious Projectile & Minion Damage | 100% | 100%
3R-2G-1B | Maim & Minion Damage 94% | 94%
2R-2G-2B | Deathmark & Minion Damage | 108% | 88% no mark, 111% marked
2R-4G | Vicious Projectile & Hypothermia* | 92% | 92%
3R-3G | Vicious Projectile & Maim | 88% | 89%

*For 2R-4G, use hypothermia if you have skitterbot to apply chilled, otherwise vile poison which will have variable damage depend on 0-10 poison stacks.

The lower mana cost means it is easier for you to activate the next aura at every stage until you have herald of agony, hatred, skitterbot and flesh and stone all activated. And yes this can be done without a super expensive helmet enchant. You need to max roll your Circle of Nostalgia to 40% reduced mana reservation and pick up every mana reservation trick in the guide if you are using 2R-3G-1B, and the requirement goes down immensely if you are using other combinations.

2) Updated mana reservation section, if you have all of this, you can do all three auras!

1）Conqueror's Efficiency
2) Two corrupted jewels with 1% mana reservation reduction, notice because of some really funky formulas, one jewel doesn't do anything.
3) Level 4 enlighten
4) Corrupted shaper's touch for +1 socketed gem level and you get level 5 enlighten equivalent
5) Well-rolled Circle of Nostalgia (40% is needed if you use 2R-3G-1B and Vicious Projectile)
6) Get Charisma on your amulet

If you have everything above with max roll 40% Circle of Nostalgia, you will be able to use Hatred, Skitter Bot, Flesh and Stone with Vicious Projectile, WITHOUT helmet enchant. A massive power spike without one of the most expensive enchants in the game today. If you are NOT using 2R-3G-1B or 2R-2G-2B, you can most likely do it without the max roll so play around with this in POB. (Thank you Mythrol1!)

Sample POB: https://pastebin.com/Su0kQV4N

I am going to start rolling my Circle of Nostalgia for a 40% roll, damage does not matter. Sand stance blinds everyone around you, I think I actually like it more than discipline especially against bosses like Aul. It gives our build a raider like RNG ceiling that we did not have before.

Have been thinking about switching to Charisma, but the ES loss hurts. And the most useful thing Flesh and Stone adds is the blind, which I would also have from an Abyss Jewel with the blind mod. The damage reduction from enemies further away is nice, but most often enemies that hit me are nearby.

Not sure yet if I will make the switch.

Anytime you're talking about trying to add a 3rd aura affect to your Herald of Agony build you're talking about min max type stuff and it's typically not going to be cheap. This shouldn't be the first thing you try to do with this build.

That said, if you're worried about tossing your divines down the drain you can always just buy a 40% rolled ring. I've got one listed for 120c with really good additional rolls and you can find them even cheaper if you ignore the other rolls and just want to get the 40%. For the benefit of what being able to add Flesh & Stone does, it's worth 1ex or less if all you need to do is get the 40%.

I am going to run Uber Lab a couple of times a day with twice enchanted, getting mana reduction on any of the four skills we use will eliminate the need of a 40% Circle of Nostalgia and save me passive points.

So I don't have anywhere else to post this but I thought I'd share this crazy wand I rolled while trying to get a +2 wand.

Shame it doesn't fit our build better. =(

Might come as a surprise, but I don't think that wand is actually worth all that much. Bit of a jack of all trades.
