First time playing a DoT build, and I'm currently using a shield / 1H approach. Would like to know where to go from here, if possible.

I decided to go for the manual blight cast approach, since the totems were getting almost instakilled, and frostblink w/ leapslam for dodging/movement felt fast enough. Build feels tanky, but is definetely lacking in damage. Have about 10 exa to spend.

Question for xsnowingx, who i'd deem to be the resident expert here:

My build is basically the way I like it. I've got the deeps. it takes a lot to kill me, UE/SHaper/Guardians are deleted in seconds. However, because I'm using

With MoM, I've gotten to the point where my unreserved mana is 150. My Soulrend casts are 120ish - and I don't exactly need to spam it.

My current auras are Malevolence, Arctic Armor (using the Perfect Form - so that doesn't matter I guess), Flesh and Stone and Discipline. Is there a more optimal setup for me to get the most out of these, considering the reduction along with the +1 the hat gives me, or is the best combination for my current gearing? I can probably If I stay with MoM I don't have the right ratio for optimal EHP, but but at 5K life and 2600ES I'm not sure MoM is even neccessary. What are your thoughts. If you were in MY gear, what would you do?

Sorry, I've been trying to level and gear a Slayer Elehit, I wasn't really looking through this thread all weekend. It looks like you swapped Zealotry with Discipline to reserve all your mana. I'm a bit skeptical on the upside of that aura with a chaos DOT curse build, because we are not a crit build, and we also don't have extra synergies with conc ground (when compared to say Inquisitor). Lemme know how that change feels, it's definitely not BAD especially when it's "free". I don't know the exact total ES you're trading away, but I'd agree the benefits that come with Zealotry are at the very least comparable to what you're trading away.

If you could get enough resist on a rare boot that has similar specs to the Atziri Step, you might be able to combo Mark of the Shaper with an elder resist ring. That would have alot more impact on your power than anything you can do with mana reservation. Although finding a boot that fits that mold might be hard, so a 10ex malevolence watchers could also be the next logical step.

For me personally, I kind of drew a line and said my build is strong enough as is, I'm gonna stop sinking money into it for now. I did craft a few elder rings and I think I can just throw on a Mark of the Shaper right now, at the cost of 1 skill gem cuz I'd lose the unset ring, and also lose some chaos res. But ED is so powerful even without min/maxing like crazy, I haven't bothered lol.

I don't think there's a way to make ED+Cont efficient at doing the Emblem battles, and if you want to do that it's gonna be better to make a specialist character for that purpose. If you're crushing delve, alva temple, and T16 monoliths, which you probably are, then congratz, you built your character well. :)
