The optimum armour threshold for using Echoes of Creation is influenced by several factors, including character level, ascendancy class, and available support buffs. As a general guideline, aim for around 6,000-8,000 armour before activating Echoes of Creation. This amount provides a reasonable balance between damage mitigation and mana sustain. If you are struggling to reach this threshold, consider using defensive auras, investing in armour-granting items, or respeccing your passive skill tree to enhance armour values.

Once you have reached a sufficient armour level, the timing of Echoes of Creation becomes crucial. To maximise its effectiveness, activate Echoes of Creation when you are below 50% health and have recently taken a significant hit. This ensures that you receive the full benefit of the spell’s life recovery and armour boost. Additionally, keep an eye on your mana reserves and use Echoes of Creation sparingly, especially if you are not surrounded by enemies. By carefully managing your armour and Echoes of Creation usage, you can effectively mitigate damage and sustain your mana, leading to greater success in Path of Exile.
