I dunno about free, as you're losing leech. For trash that leech doesn't really matter 'cause of warlord's, but the 80% less curse effect on the big bosses makes relying on warlord's leech alone a bit dicey.

Of course if you have another way of getting the leech, that's great. Anger watcher's eye + essence worm, or whatever.

there is no need for huge leech for this build, since with a mixed group of jewels with T1-T3 flat ele dps + life,
you simply faceroll shaper and other noobish bosses.

simple said, the build has so much damage, you dont rly care about leech, couse everythink dies in seconds.

i'd highly recommend this build for beginners/handless ppl. its idiot proof.

also for amu, i'd rec

Yeah that amulet is for sure a good budget option. As magicrectangle already said you are sacrificing a "guaranteed" leech option, depending on what you are doing that might not be the worst problem in the world.
If you have a wealthy enough budget though, a good rare amulet is just straight up better, since you can get 80+ life, spell damage, crit chance, crit multi and juicy elder/shaper mods (like extra damage as chaos), without even considering the leech.
I also just checked in PoB, just to give a reference, using a 70% Tiki would increse my dps by something like 1%, sacrificing some life, attributes and leech. My amulet is definitely good, so it's indeed a interesting option if you just want some cheap damage.

If you just want to farm maps, with a MF gear, the CoC setup with Cremation is not actually needed at all.
So you either use the usual Shroud of the Lightless armour to have the 5 links available or, if you wanna use a Kaom's Heart, you can just drop the CoC setup.

Just finishing up my push to level 80 and plan on 20%ing some of the more important gems.
Which gems should I focus on? Or which 21/20s to aim for?

My main focus is grinding shaped vaults.

Should I run anger and herald, or drop herald for portal?

Since i'm not running CoC, are my pen links correct?

Also, what would be best to put into the gloves? I was going to copy the original ice golem+minion support & grab some life+dps abyss jewels.

Appreciate all of the help.

I would not run HoI, since you are always using Elemental focus on your VD setup, preventing you from freezing monsters. The flat damage it provides is ok, but you can probably clear just fine even without it.
You also do not really need Crit Chance on the Frenzy setup, since you are not using CoC. Without changing colours you can just put PCoC over there, removing it from the helm. This way you can also add another support to spirit rush, like Controlled Destruction.
The Pen's links are okay, without the CoC it's mostly personal preference and playstyle if you want to place Bodyswap with Unearth or with VD. If you usually jump directly in the middle of the packs, it's better to move BS in the VD Pen, supporting both with Concentrated Effect. Otherwise, if you prefer maneuvering around packs, you can leave it as it is.
In the gloves you can use golem+minion life, golem+CWDT (for auto-summoning), golem+portal, golem+flame dash or something like that.

Thanks for the tips,
If I lose HoI and wanted to put bodyswap with VD, should I just move the ele focus to the unearth pen?

I personally just leave it in the weaponswap or in the inventory for when I want more single target damage(swapping it with bodyswap). In the Unearth Pen you can use another support gem like culling strike or PCoC.

can you please look at my character? im dying a lot to bosses with 5.2k hp, i dont have the fire dmg leech amu yet, will it change my survivability much? for mapping im using CoH WM wit HoI linked and im not sure if my ring and amu are usable for now im upgrading my abyss jewels 1 by 1

Allright!
The problem with that WM setup is that's not very reliable as a leech source. You are going to curse monsters that are already dying by themself, so probably you are not leeching that much; moreover it's useless 95% of the time against bosses, which is the main istance where you actually want to always be able to leech.
I believe your jewels are ok for now, if you have some currency I'd invest in a WM ring, or you can even try to craft it yourself. Depending on the stats you can find some "cheap" ones, like 1ex or so if you just look for WM and some life. Considering 1ex is about 70-75c, you can farm that currency in like 2-3h of mapping. As I said, you can even try to craft it yourself if you have some hundreds of alterations around; just spam them until you hit WM, augmentation, regal and eventually mastercraft life if you do not have it already.
Otherwise I would just sacrifice the CoC setup for the moment, until you acquire the ring, using a CoH+WM in that setup.
Your amulet is nice, once you find a WM ring the fire leech on the amulet is not that necessary if you are just mapping most of the time.
You are just level 79, so you still have good room for improvements. You attack speed is a bit low though, full buffed you are attacking at 2.87 aps with frenzy. That's very low, considering you should try to achieve about 3.8 aps. In the FAQs there are some tips to achieve it.
Try to have 20% quality flasks, if they have only 1 mod you can just add another one; chances are that you are going to hit something useful.
Try to complete the last lab, those 2 final points are actually very important.
In the following levels you should also consider taking MoM and some mana related passives, sacrificing anger. That helps a lot with survivability once you have the last ascendency points and mana leech from WM to sustain your mana pool.

P.S. When you will have a WM ring, run some maps testing if it's better to keep the Diamond one you already have or the Gifts from Above. 'Cause both options are quite good.

HI, I am really enjoying your build, but i am having a tough time with T15 Red Elder fight...i do decent with the mechanics but seems my dps is a bit lackluster...if thats even possible with this build...

Could you look at my build and see what I can do to improve...thank you.
