because if they are higher level you'll need higher level CWDT to support them. Higher level CWDT means less frequent trigger. Enduring cry get's close to nothing from leveling it. Temporal chains can be linked to Increased area of effect ( support gems can be any level they don't stop the CWDT only the level of he active skills matters) And triggered skill don't cost mana.

Ok now I understand the whole thing :) , didn't know that a higher level of the cwdt gem means less frequent trigger.

Thanks

not only less frequent trigger.... there will be o trigger... read your cwdt gem description wont cast gem higher levle then its requirement

Why use Leap Slam over a single target ability for Piety? Wouldn't something like Double Strike or Heavy Strike be much faster at killing her?

Also, what are your thoughts on Spectral Throw? I feel like it's range makes it much safer than Leap Slam. Watching your videos I constantly see you lose half your health, which somewhat worries me since I want to try this build on Invasion.

Just one man's opinion here, and not a terribly well-informed one either. Take it for what it's worth.

I think range is pretty meaningless on Piety. There's only one form where she does significant melee damage, and in that one (fire form) she's so fast that the only way to stay away from her is to use a quicksilver flask and not attack anyway (not that you would want to do that). I could see wanting to use a different, faster skill, but whether it's ranged or not really doesn't mean much.

Despite that, Leap Slam is really what I want for this fight. Being able to get behind a pillar quickly during ice form or track her down after a teleport or even get to a blue portal to destroy it before she reaches it is nice. I'm always going to want the Leap Slam to get to her, I'm always going to want it to move around during the fight, and it does good enough damage. So I'm just sticking with it and being happy.

As for half-health...well, that happens. The build maintains health via flasks and regen, since it's not very tanky. That means that it's going to get down to half health, and it's going to do it often. It would even with a faster kill skill. But despite that, I never ever feel like I'm actually close to dying. Piety's damage abilities just aren't like that, as long as you're not taking ice arrows to the face, and the flasks get you back up to full quickly enough.

(Side note: I think it's an excellent idea to deviate from Korgoth's new tree slightly to take the +15% flask life node near Heart of the Warrior, just because you do rely on life flasks so much.)

I can't think of a Piety fight when I haven't been down to half health, but I've never died to just Piety. (I've died to Piety + Rogue Exile once, but that's mostly because I was only level 69 and didn't recognize that there was a rogue exile until it was too late.)

Thank you!

Haha thx!
