The loop works but takes two weapon swaps to sustain

Two weapon swaps to star the loop means you have mana issues.

I have 1500 mana.

Akshays video only shows 1100.

So while I am running out of mana, my assumption was that taking over 300 damage per forbidden rite because it bypasses my ward was why I was having mana issues. Is this wrong?

I felt like I was starting to understand how the build worked.


EDIT: rather than waiting for confirmation, i respected 2 points and grabbed 2 of the chaos resist nodes, this was enough to get the loop to work on one swap and sustain fine. I'll go level up and try the chaos res notable and see if that makes mana even more stable without losing any triggers and ensuring nothing is breaking through the ward

edit edit:
Thank you for doing such a great job with the guide and going over the maths and break down of why/how/what in so many different ways, it took a long time to sink in but it all really helps. especially the calc with comments

Since there are so many ward-loop-professionals in this thread I'd like to ask:

Is there any damage type variant that works and scales well with a ward loop?

- chaos damage
- phys damage
- poison
- other elements (seems best choice)

and

Is it also possible to make an end-game capable build with other admittedly sub-optimal classes, like Ranger or Marauder for example?

Hey guys

i have necromancer leveled to 93 looking at changing to this. Would the necromancer be tankier or the Scion?
