There are so many unlocked skills, how should they be used? The guide doesn't say anything, for example: all the defense skills, the blades, the familiar, etc.

defensive skills trigger off orsivane weapon, familiar ive put on enchantment since ball lightning was ehh so ice blades, hydra an spear will trigger it, an i changed the galvanic ring for starless it works alot better an awesome mana management.

I've been running ball lightning too, so hopefully this answers questions:

use static surge + unleash for mana (maybe resource proc temper if needed)

ball lightning is strong on its own but upkeep UC via lightning familiar + CDR

they have starless listed for resource management but I don't use it, and even have less than 75 max resource, and my mana Regen is good

I'm only Paragon 250 but that's because of other reasons, but I have reached around 60-80 trillion

FreshRobot•8d ago

there is absolutely no walkthrough or explanation for mana management the damage is there, but the cooldowns are rediculious i see bursts of dps but it fizzles out when unstable currents ends like where is the help here?

Mordecai•7d ago

mana i think is mostly from tibaults will an i think the ice armor an ice nova procs, most my damage comes from the full set of talisman also,

Mordecai•8d ago

whats the point of having familiar when nothing in the build spawns it at all
