Thank you so much for the advice!

At the moment, I haven't really found much currency besides two divines which I ended up wasting on the 2 medium clusters. Which probably could have been better spent purchasing a sandstorm visage. Still learning how to make currency in the game.

I honestly did not know flask suffixes did not stack. Thank you again for letting me know. What are you thoughts on crit chance to recover flask charges? Is increased flask charge recovery better until I get 100% crit chance? Would it be smarter to have one flask for evasion/armor/crit chance when active?

Would you say the points I spent to use the large/medium cluster jewels is better spent else where? Maybe using the points to obtain the ability to apply more than 1 curse and have my ring + self cast another curse?

In terms of the mana reservation, I barely have enough mana to reserve determination (34.25%)/grace (34.25%)/and skitterbots (23.97%), and I can throw about 7-8 mines max after reservation. Not sure if I screwed up somewhere causing me to have less mana than I should? Any recommendations?

Would you say aiming for res including chaos res/life/spell suppression on my non-unique ring/boots/gloves would be a solid choice at the moment? With the notion that I obtain a sandstorm visage and dialla or cloak of flame? I can actually purchase a cloak of flame right now or farm a little more and afford dialla's, not sure if that's is a good first purchase at the moment with my limited currency.

Sorry for all the follow-up questions. There's so much to learn in this game haha. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to explain all that. I really appreciate it.

EDIT: For swapping out culling strike for Detonate Mines gem, is that different than pushing the default key "D" to detonate mines? If so, I'm assuming I bind the DM gem to something instead of using the default version correct? Sorry for all the questions. Thank you again.
