Gotcha.
You don't use phoenix at all? I see a lot of people using phoenix.
I was considering something pretty close to build 1 but phoenix monarch on main and then if I need to tele far I can swap to cta+spirit to hit higher fcr/fhr bp
Also, you find razortail necessary for the pierce versus something like arach ?
teleporting on swap slows you down considerably. that's especially true for javas since you're weaving in throws after every couple teleport casts.
phoenix is a band-aid mana fix that slows you down by lowering your fcr and total mana pool. it also forces you to stop and kill stuff at inconvenient times. it also forces you to wait for corpses to pop when you'd be zooming off with a spirit build.
having some mana leech on gloves and your fcr ring gives you more reliable mana sustain without reducing your dmg, survivability or overall clear speeds.
razortail is a ridiculously huge damage boost. it's a non-negotiable core item. try it out and see for yourself.
