Any easy way to see what changed in terms of the passive tree? Still very new to using POB, ideally I think I need more mana and better reservation overall but I definitely want to try what you specced out! Thanks a ton by the way, you guys have essentially held my hand this whole league so far hahaha

I didn't switch all that much on the skill tree. I unspecced one of the accuracy wheels because it wasn't doing much for you and getting one node in the thread of hope ring capped accuracy for you. Most of the choices I made are just that: choices depending on if you want more defense vs offense. For instance I just picked some masteries that I think are good like less damage taken from suppress, and the increased crit multi vs unique enemies, but you could easily decide you wanted to put those points elsewhere. Taking 2 points to get Fury Bolts might be worth it, for instance. Or maybe you want melee attack range from a mastery, tho I don't think LS needs it but I've never played it.

The big one is arrogance + precision freeing up mana for another 50% res aura, along with the 1 point in res efficiency near scion. You could also get a jewel with some res efficiency if you wanted a bit more. Alternatively you could spec 'spend life instead of 30% mana cost' mastery if it's uncomfortable.

Arrogance tech is very good if and when you can fit it in. That is, arrogance + either precision, vitality, or clarity since those are flat mana costs instead of percent. So they don't impact your life pool much compared to the potential benefit. Alternatively if you're mana stacking it can also be good to run them that way too. It also gives you access to the +1 max all res mastery if you're reserving both life and mana for some extra defense. I didn't do that with what I linked because POB said aura effect was better, but hey, it might be better in boss fights or something, dunno.


EDIT: Check this out: ~1M more damage in exchange for a few points/masteries + 600hp leech (ouch a bit, but eh?) and all I changed was your large cluster jewel and added in a couple of eye to eye + repeater medium clusters.
