Another question I had, is blade blast unnerve really all that much in terms of increasing our damage?

I was wondering if running the original wave of conviction, hextouch, and conductivity combo on a trigger wand would work and make the application of those two more consistent.

I don't believe that combo will proc conductivity while in a trigger wand but I might be misunderstanding that.

You are correct, Hextouch does not work with triggered spells. (@Reechaani: also does not work with totems.)

The Unnerve from Blade Blast essentially amounts to a 10% more multiplier, so yes, it is desirable. That said, Blade Blast in a trigger wand isn't really an elegant solution, so I'm holding out until I finally roll a cluster jewel that provides Unnerve with Culling Strike instead (been trying for a damn week now).

Ah that makes sense. Would that be Master of Fear and Wish for Death?

That's the one on my list. Not generating much currency this league though so for now I only have Wish for Death.

Yeah, it's expensive as hell. Every harvest reroll, alt, aug, and regal I get goes into a cluster jewel. However, you can actually make a lot of profit selling ones with one of those two notables plus another notable. I'm constantly making between 20c and 50c off of those "misfires", so it's a legit (if tedious) way to make currency.

Decided to run a Simulacrum for the hell of it. Did okay, no deaths until the 20th wave but had both bosses spawn and could not complete it. The damage was pretty good up until the 18th wave but it really wasn't high enough. Up until at least 15 the damage was enough and I don't think there was much risk of death. After that there were some close calls along the way but flasks helped a lot there - however the biggest issue was lack of clear and dying golems. I don't have a ton into the build yet so that should get better but I don't see how there will ever be enough damage mitigation, during the later waves if either boss gets to you you're just toast and the stupid golems are constantly dying which decimates your stats on both sides. Also with all the incoming damage there are massive mana issues that I don't see how to resolve.

I know the build isn't really designed for that sort of thing, it gets you to end game and the ability to do the final bosses without having to dump a ton into it, but Simulacrum was my big income generator last league so now I will need to find something new to make currency.

Should I take The Agnostic?

Indeed, I made over 30 ex the first 2 weeks doing that ;-)

Hello, why i can summon only 3 Golems?

Hmm indeed, I forgot that.
So much for theorycrafting that then.

Annointing Whispers of Doom, getting Unnerve on a Megalomaniac and applying a second curse (elemental weakness) only gives me 1% more damage.
Getting that Megalomaniac is already sketchy at best, so a second curse isn't a viable option I believe.
