Yes. You will self cast Steel Skin. It does share the cooldown with Immortal Call but you will have better control over and IC pretty much act as a backup in situation where you did not manually proc Steel Skin.

You can definitely remove Steel Skin if you feel that it is not benefiting you. :)
Trying this build and loving it, one question how come we dont level up immortal call % cast when dmg taken support?

Cee~

High level Cast When Damage Taken will only trigger when you take big amount of damage which can mean a 1 shot attack. And if it is a 1 shot attack, the gem will not proc because the character would be dead.

A low level CWDT will ensure that Immortal Call is proc and you have some decent damage reduction to mitigate the damage from the next incoming attack.

FYI, IC must be within +2 level of CWDT.

E.g. if CWDT is level 5, IC max level will be level 7. A level 8 IC will have to be manually cast.

I see, so what is the sweet spot for IC/CWDTS?

Another thing comes to mind, the gem Blood and Sand it says use Sand when mapping and Blood when killing boss shouldn't it be the other way around?
Don't you want more area dmg when you killing a lot of mobs?

Sweet spot for CWDT + IC would be:

  • CWDT Lvl 1 + IC Lvl 3
  • CWDT Lvl 6 + IC Lvl 7
  • CWDT Lvl 9 + IC Lvl 11


Sand gives you more area of effect while Blood gives you more area damage.

For mapping, you will have enough damage to kill the mobs so Sand will be better.

Boss however tend to take longer to kill so Blood will give you more damage to bring him down faster.

You will also want a low level Wave of Conviction (applies a debuff on mobs making them take more fire damage) so that CWDT can proc it.

Apart from that, you will max out other gems (except maybe Enfeeble (if you use it) cos it has really high int requirement).

Btw, there was a typo on the gem level. You will want CWDT to be level 5 and IC to be level 7.
Hi again, another question, on the flask section can you explain why you recommend hallowed hybrid flask so highly?

Headsman gives 10% more damage if you have killed recently. This will give you more damage when you are fighting bosses that do not spawn minions by killing the worms from the flask.
