Nice staff on your profile Gryphenprey! How did you craft that? Or bought it?

I bought it, blocked attack mods, and exalted mana of all things. (literally anything would have been better than that). But yeah, it's very nice.

I got this staff to start playing with, you think this would be better to start than an Arcane surge one like recommended in the guide?

Hey. Tell me in detail how to craft a staff?

I would be tempted to imprint+regal until I hit arcane surge. it would be Expensive af but TOTALLY WORTH IT! :D

Or just imprint+regal+annul+multimod and use an Arcane Surge Chest. That would also work. Sweet hit.

Get your preferred base: (block or crit, your choice. I like block) iLvl 80+

Alt spam for Arcane Surge prefix and chance to deal double damage suffix

Sell anything that you hit along the way that looks really good for another build.

When you hit it, get a Craicic Chimeral beast to imprint the BLUE item. Imprint at bestiary altar, regal and then annul if the regal'd mod was bad. if you brick it, imprint again ad nauseum.

This build looks really cool, but I am having trouble making it run smoothly. Its a struggle to complete even a T5 blighted map. The single target is fine but the bosses get me along with anything that damages me is enough to make me have to pop a potion.

I feel like I'm missing something to make this build work.

Here is my pastebin if anyone has a chance to look it over.

Here's a pastebin that gets you into crit instead of EO at level 78 and roughly doubles your DPS output

Adding a Watcher's Eye that generates ES on hit and Ball Lightning will add to your sustain nicely.

You should be able to do something about your flasks pretty easily, pick up a diamond flask, an atziri's promise, and a Wise Oak to add a bunch more damage as well.

From that point, you can start worrying about pumping up your life/ES by upgrading your rares and filling those jewel sockets I added.

Don't feel bad about casting Desecrate in the middle of fights either, that's probably your problem, you can just hit it every few seconds while you hold down right-click to keep the VD balls rolling.

The reason you're having choppy ball generation is that you've reduced the mana cost of VD too much, you aren't procing Desecrate with every cast. It's a DPS loss overall, but you should still be fine with a little manual desecrate assistance.

@sgtsitcky

As Jerm says, periodically casting your desecrate while you hold down VD is a good habit to have. One of the main reasons for this is when your CWDT procs off of enemies hitting you at a distance and all your corpse generation spawns on said enemy instead of at your feet.

That said, your tree is a bit of a mess at the moment, I've taken the liberty to make a correct tree for you for level 77 (100 points) and then also included the level 90 tree to aim for (113 points):

https://pastebin.com/mxsyzNrK

For the level 90 tree I added an intuitive leap jewel (fairly cheap) that you'll want to pick up at some point.

For flasks, pick up a Diamond Flask, Atziri's Promise, and a Cinderswallow.

You also want to get some form of Life recovery. This can be a shaper ring with "Life gained for each enemy hit by your spells" or a source of life leech. Fire damage leech on an amulet works A+ or a Watcher's Eye with Fire Damage leeched as life while affected by anger, but as Jerm already mentioned, Discipline ES on hit is top priority.

Hope this helps!

@Gryph

Looking at your "Current Gear" section... how do you get life leech? You don't seem to have it on neck or watcher's eye, just curious.

I have 15 life gained on hit by my spells because I have no place to get leech. In a perfect world, I'd have both but this works very nicely with Ball Lightning and all the other spells flying everywhere.

Do you think having 2 imprint beasts and a 300 chaos, is enough money to do the imprint start? (not including the multi mod cost ofc)
