Static blows
I don't think its worth getting SB because the build is already tight on points and using added lightning instead of faster casting would decrease the damage and increase the time it takes to get incinerate to stage 3.

There is any unique that would help with that and it synergies pretty well with Incinerate, Wake of Destruction
They are kinda crappy though except for the lightning and the chance to flee so it probably means giving up on some useful defenses. The shock duration would probably be extremely small to. Or maybe it can be triggered with a ligthning spell+cast on damage taken to give it a longer duration.

the added lightning damage only works on attacks

Yea the added lightning on wake of destruction only works for attacks, rainbowstrides or a decent pair of rare boots is a lot better.

Dual wielding the Cybil's Paw isn't viable at all with this build because most of the block chance nodes only work if you are holding a shield.
I wouldn't recommend dual wielding cybils paw because you will have to waste a lot of passive nodes to get the block chance nodes and without the Bringer of rain you wont even reach the max block.

Just got level60 and equipped my 4L Light Coil chest with Inci, Lmp, MLeech, LLeech linked and well shit is pretty much ez mode now. 5 endu charges + MoM + Lcoil and you barely take any physical damage so my mana doesn't get raped my MoM anymore.

Sitting on 2k hp
Fire 9% (will up this, got shit rings and no resi on helm)
Cold 75%
Light 67%
2k Armour

Going into block nodes now. And otw to Vaal.

Gear:

Gratz and good luck on the rest of Merciless.

I added a highlight of me doing another map in the first post.

vs 67 Sewers, -17% max res, 18% ele reflect http://www.twitch.tv/anders515/c/3196714

Just to add to this thread-

I'm currently level 59 using a similar build. But instead of taking Unwavering stance, I chose to take the right path from the scion start; picking up the 2 30% increased evasion nodes, Iron reflexes and the 8-8-18% heatlth cluster near it on my way to Mind over Matter.

I chose to go this path because I wanted to utilize the 75% evade chance from Blind using a 4L with - (cast when damage taken-Firestorm-Blind-Increased duration) - to reliably apply Blind to mobs that can damage through my mitigation (It auto-casts around 15-20 Fireballs with chances to blind per proc mana-free). I am also planning to try linking smoke mine once I get a hold of the gem. I'll try to post my tree tomorrow

Look interesting and super fun. Gonna roll this right now. I think you could drop a couple cast speed nodes for more life as well as possibly the 4 nodes from the scion start to get 6% block would be better spent getting another 32% life.

Now has 212% HP and only loses 6% cast speed and 6% shield block.

Since the spell damage on the claw scales of block chance we want max block to use it to its full potential and Incinerate reaches its final stage faster the more cast speed you have so you want all the cast speed you can get.

That much life wont be necessary until higher maps if ever, in the video where i tank the Vaal smash i have 90% increased life for instance. You might want more health if you are going to play hardcore but if you play safe the low health pool shouldn't be a problem.

Question, why is it you use that armor over some rare with high armor and life?

2nd Question, do you get to party up in groups without getting the boot because of that skill?

Anyways pretty fucking awesome build, I might give it a go

Do projectile damage passive nodes increase incinerate damage? It doesn't seem to be affecting my tooltip dps.
