i think dual wielding "al dhih" is also really good at the beginning for clearing faster and some neat damage if you don´t wanna wait till lvl 34 for mortem
and the abysall cry effect is also prety nice.
if you have the small curency for it

26 to 34 should be very fast so I see no need to buy claws just for that. But if you want...

For those of us without a Portal gem, am I right in thinking that linking Maim to the ancestral totem would be a reasonable DPS boost?

Well you don't really use the totem to hit stuff. It just gives you some attack speed which is a considerable damage boost. But if you don't yet have maim on your ST then I suppose it could be used to maim enemies for you.

Hey,

Very nice guide here. Was looking for a futur reroll this league.
What do you think about this build as ascendant Slayer/Raider ? Didn't do any maths but should be on par (with some added pros)

Hi, great build, I've gotten to end of yellow maps and have farmed quite a bit of currency to start my second character. Just a point of concern that has been bugging me, I recently bought 2 high rolled Scourges to replace my double Wasp Nest that I had been running, and my toolkit indicated that my DPS had dropped by a whole 3K! I was wondering if this is a malfunction on the toolkit because it didn't calculate correctly or is there something else going on behind the scenes?

Thanks!

Hi,

Might be a dumb question but why do we switch SP with GMP and not something else?

Maybe something I dont understand but wouldn't be better to switch it with something else and still keep the 5 projectiles?

thanks!

Because GMP reduces damage and SP increases it. GMP is good for clearing maps. For bosses you need maximum damage.

Thanks so much for the guide, the build is working out very well for me so far.

Regarding enfeeble - under gems you show it being raised to level 15, yet your current gear has it at level 11.

Mine is at 15 currently and it's very tricky to manage the intelligence requirement. I had to pick up a +30 node and also have some on my gear to enable this.

Am I correct that we don't really need level 15 here? When looking to upgrade gear it's pretty limiting when I require the intelligence stat as well. Prioritizing intelligence for this build does not seem right.

Thanks again!

15 is the maximum level that CWDT will support. I have it at 11 because as you've already seen getting int on this build is very hard and certainly not worth it for a single gem. So drop the node and just use a lower level enfeeble that is as high as you can without prioritizing int on your gear.

Hey, really enjoy the guide and build, it's been fun to play. I've been playing it since the start of Bestiary and I'm now level 89, almost 90, and I just feel like something's wrong with the build for me. I went to compare your PoB with mine today and I'm confused to find that your damage is almost 10 times higher than mine. I figured it would be better because my gear is pretty underwhelming; I was playing SSF basically because I don't like trading and the only items I bought were the Scourges, but that gap seems bigger than I'd expect. In fact, even if I remove ALL of the items (except for weapons) on your PoB, you still have three times as much dps as I do with all of my items equipped. I must be missing something massive in my build for this to be happening, but I have no idea what it is.

I'd appreciate it if you had a minute to check out my build to see if you can find the problem: https://pastebin.com/BUTcJTcG

I've never played PoE much so I'm probably overlooking something stupid but I just can't find it looking through PoB.

What about Steel Spirit gem ?
Worth to use a slot ?

Hi! First of all: thank you for such a cool guide.

I have a few questoins: if we have the Scourge as main weapon, shouldn't we aim for good rolled bone helmet too? It has +30-40% to our damage.

Also I'vo got impresence with vulnurability mod, would it be better?

And finally, is mark of the elder would be good here?
