RedRising's Notes

NOTES (As of 3.25) Mana Reservation: To fit 5 Mana reservation skills, you need to have 2 Enlighten Supports Level 3. You need to have atleast 70 mana after reservations to have an uninterrupted casting of skills. You can use the Max Mana nodes for the Large Claster Jewel instead of the Elemental Damage nodes. If you can't fit all four, unreserve Herald of Ice. Life Reservation: To fit Zealotry and Precision, you need to have 2100hp. You can get flat hp from items or stacking strength. If you can't get the right amount of hp, you can get life nodes from the skill tree. Attack Speed Breakpoints: To maximise damage through spell casts from Cast on Crit gems, you can follow the Attack Speed breakpoints listed below. Cooldown Reduction source is also listed below. You need to mix and match items to get your % Cooldown Reduction. Cooldown Reduction to Attack Speed: 0% = 6.06 Attack Speed 14%-51% = 7.57 Attack Speed 52% = 10.10 Attack Speed Cooldown Reduction Source: 31% = Awakened Cast on Critical Skill Gem Level 5 with Critical Mastery node "+3 to Level of all Critical Support Gems" activated 22% = Awakened Cast on Critical Skill Gem Level 5 20% = Crusader or Shaper Belt mod 20% = Torrent's Reclamation Belt 12% = Crafted Belt Mod (Suffix) 6% = Boots Exarch Implicit Mod 3% = Abyss Jewels Mana Cost: To ensure casting of all skills, you need to reduce the mana cost of all non-channelling skill/spell gems. Get 2 rings with an open prefix and craft "Non-Channelling Skills have -7 to Total Mana Cost." Use Watcher's Eye Jewel with mod "Non-Channelling Skills have -10 to Total Mana Cost while affected by Clarity". You need to have Clarity on in order to have this mod to activate. Mana Leech/Mana Sustain: You sustain mana through Physical Mana Leech node. You will out-leech your mana cost as you long as you hit enemies. Resistance: Use Tattoos to max your Resistances. You can also use Prismatic Heart Node from a Large Cluster Jewel to get 10% Elemental Resistance. Attributes: If you are having difficulties meeting stat requirements, you can allocate any +30 stat nodes in your skill tree. Block Chance: Use Tempest Shield to get Spell Block Chance. You can use Tattoo if you want more Attack Block Chance. You need to have atleast 70% Block Chance so you wont die all the time. Map Mods: Map Mods you cant run: Cannot Leech Elemental Damage Reflect Map Mods that are problematic but doable: Physical Damage Reflect Energy Shield recovery reduction/Reduction to leech rate No regen Map Mods that are just annoying: Player have less area of effect Less Accuracy Reduction to block chance Annoying Enemies: There are annoying enemies you need to be wary of: Huge number of Lightning Spark Goats within a small area = You will get flooded by Lightning Sparks. Soul Eater Enemies = Because you clear mobs so quick, enemies that have Soul Eater will get buffed very quickly. At some point, they will be so tanky, your damage penetration wont be enough. You need to wait for its buff to be gone before killing it. Mana Siphon Enemies = These enemies removes your mana, which renders you unable to attack and cast spells. You need to Frostblink inside the ring and Cyclone. The inside and outside of the ring doesnt siphon mana.
