Switching gears a little bit:

I am currently sitting at 7926 Mana with 1290.5 regen per sec. Res capped (except chaos of course), and 1.43 mil Arc only Sirus DPS (all from PoB).

But only 4400 Life and I'm basically broke. (got like 50C + old gear I can sell for maybe an EX total)

I tried to get life and mana on all gear, but I think I prioritized mana a little bit too much.

Skill tree is pretty much tapped out for life nodes (max I could really get is ~300 using the next 6 skill points), so I am thinking I need to save skill points for gem nodes and try for life on those.

So I'm trying to figure out if it is worth losing some mana (and thus, DPS) to try and gain some life.

Since I have had this setup, I actually have not died at all, but I also have not fought Sirus, Baran, Minataur, or other high hitting bosses. So i was just trying to see what people's thoughts were.

In case anyone is interested (gear and POB)

Your Healthy Mind jewel is killing you. Ditch it and you are instantly up to 5k life. Put another jewel in there instead that has life on it.

I considered this as well, but it also drops me significantly in mana (and DPS).


With Healthy Mind:
Mana: 7926
Life: 4400
DPS: 1.43 MIL

Without Healthy Mind:
Mana: 6573
Life: 5071
DPS: 1.18 MIL

Deltas:
Mana: -1353
Life: +671
DPS: -250K (rounded to nearest 10K)


This is my conundrum. Is the fairly significant loss in DPS and Mana (which is basically our main source of defense, right?) worth gaining 671 life?

Looking at Wombat's build on POENinja/PoB, he is currently running:
Mana: 9063
Life: 4679
DPS: 2.30 MIL (using the same configuration that I am using)

Obviously he has way more DPS and Mana, but this seems to indicate that at some point, there is value in investing more in DPS/Mana than life.

Well i switch it in between, so for Sirus obviously if we do not get one shot we can just kill him eventually so dps would not matter too much. So I would just replace healthy mind for another like health mana dmg jewel, or reconfigure to some life nodes. Healthy mind is better for map clearing and dealing with bosses that are less likely to one shot you.

This makes a lot of sense actually. Not sure why it didn't occur to me.

I suppose that investing into a health/mana jewel to use in tougher boss fights is a good solution for now until I have some currency to buy better gear.


Speaking of which: how are you guys making currency? Harvest crafting? There is obviously no room here for IIQ/IIR. I have had 3 EX and maybe another 3 in chaos all league from drops. IF anyone knows of a good harvest crafting (or another currency making) guide, it would be welcome.
