1. How can You run Grace (lvl 21) + Malevolence (lvl 21) + Defiance banner (lvl 21) + Precision (lvl 1) + Determination (lvl 21) + Enlighten (lvl 4)?

If you're using lifetap on all skills, then we can afford to get mana close to 100% reserved; otherwise, you'll need to skip auras or invest more into reservation efficiency.

Usually a few ways to mix and match to get your auras to fit:

> the Passive Tree has "Grace has 25% increased mana reservation efficiency" (as you mentioned), and the same for Defiance Banner (100% efficiency under Armour and Evasion Mastery) and Determination (25% efficiency under Armour Mastery). The latter two are within the Lethal Pride duelist wheel, so you can path according to the jewel you have (we'll talk more about Lethal Pride under point 6 later).

> Helm, both implicit and explicit mods. if you're not using a blizzard crown, you can get mana reservation efficiency (3 - 10% from essence, 7 - 12% from eater implicit, 6 - 10% from incursion) quite comfortably. there's one mod from redeemer (4 - 10%) which you can get on an influenced blizzard crown, but this can be costly.

> Helm, lab enchant. Determination, Grace or Malevolence has 30% increased Mana Reservation Efficiency. probably only a great idea if you have enough damage or attack speed, since the enchants for EA are pretty good.

> Cluster Jewel. Small cluster with 6% efficiency, usually with Mortifying Aspect (Malevolence 50% efficiency, 11% chaos res).

> Amulet. Mod-wise, hunter influenced amulets can roll 40 - 50% malevolence efficiency. Not a great choice given how crowded the mods already are on the amulet. While anointing Charisma is possible, it's not recommended since it means we need to path to Watchtowers and that is a long route on the passive tree.

> Sanctified Relic. 8 - 12%.

There're definitely other sources that i didn't think of, but you can pick and/or discard parts from this list to fit your build. There won't be a SET combination because your accuracy depends on other pieces of gear, and this affects Precision's reservation and therefore your overall mana situation.

Most folks on poeninja seem to prefer going with cluster jewel on malevolence. With this, you need only one other source of efficiency (defiance banner/grace/determination on tree). For me, I prefer to get it from the sanctified relic (11%) with grace (25%) on tree.

2. On the skill tree (users: Limevan and Krilovich) there are cluster jewels in the upper part without being connected to each other, how is that done?

everything on my tree is connected, so it's probably a visual bug? are you viewing this on Path of Building? i recall the official site looking really wonky when it comes to clusters.

3. I don't see life mastery (+50 to maximum life) picked, is this point worth more some where else?

this is usually a great mastery node to pick, but it depends. if you have spare passive points, you can check on PoB to see where you can get the most mileage out of them. at the end of the day, your life pool is just an "effective hit pool" that you try to maximise.

to illustrate, with 100% increased life from tree, 50 life from the passive becomes 100 health points. this is a 5% increase if you currently have 2k HP, but only 2% increase if you're sitting on nearly 5k.
if you have very low total %increased life from tree (a lot of folks drop %max life from jewels to get more dps), it's definitely better to put this point in 5 - 6% increased maximum life.
from another perspective, if your armour is low, putting that passive in the aura mastery for 10% increase aura effect can easily outweigh the 50 flat life.

yet another perspective: you've enough life to tank most damage, but your dps is lacking (not being able to kill sanctum guards quickly means you're hurting, even though you might have a huge life tank). in this case, it's better to dedicate the passive point to faster ignites, etc.

4. I accidentaly bought +3 bow without attack speed on it, but the damage it gives is nice. Is attack speed MUST HAVE and I should get a new bow?

the way that EA scales with attack speed makes this stat super attractive. you can hold on to your current bow and work towards one on a good base (1.5aps base) with a good attack speed roll. getting +3 is quite deterministic, so unless you're going for mods like DoT multi or fire as extra chaos, it's probably way better just to recraft. i think maxroll's guide includes having elemental rolls for extra damage, but DoT multi and extra chaos gave better numbers on PoB.

"

5. How can I improve my accuracy rating since i understand that 100% hit is MUST HAVE?

You get accuracy from raw accuracy and % increase mods on helm, rings, amulet, quiver and gloves. you can also get % inc global accuracy from eater mod on gloves, and on jewels and sanctified relic. raw accuracy on frenzy charges is also available on eldritch mod on gloves, and on sanctified relics. belt enchant gives accuracy on onslaught too.

"

6. The Lethal Pride jewel seems like a good pick as well?

this is a great addition once you have spare passives. you can roll for really useful extra stats like ignite speed, burning damage, %max life, totem placement speed. depending on the jewel you have, you can adjust points on the duelist wheel to maximise it. if you have enough currency, use PoB's "Find Timeless Jewel" tool to look for nodes that match your needs. They can get quite costly (>50div) so don't go crazy on your search filter.

"

8. When playing around in POB the fuses should be set to 18?

pob calculates your "Maximum Sustainable Fuses", so you can just use that to estimate your single target dps. the actual number of fuses depends on your attack speed, ignite duration and fuse duration. there are calculators that various people have posted that you can use for a more accurate picture, but i think that's overkill. in those, you also have "correction factors" to take into account factors like Convergence only lasting for a limited time, etc.

9. POB - https://pastebin.com/U0kFLdYc

quite a few things to fix, but i think you'll probably revamp your gear with the mirror you've got, so we can look at everything again once you're done with that. for reference, you can check your fuse count under calculations. in your current PoB, this is 14, so you can try to improve your gear so it's nearly 20.
