Hi. Firstly, I wanted to thank you for sharing this build, I've lots of fun playing it.

I play it on HC Talisman league (currently 45 lvl).

I wanted to ask you few things:

1) Hegemony's Era ist extremly expensive in this league, going for 3-4 exalts, not talking about 5l or 6l. So I've been thinking that I'll be using a 5l rare Staff. Now the question is - what support gems are the best in this situation? you've recommended using fortify in hc, but then i would need to cut something - increased aoe? or maybe elemental damage?

2) You wrote "CWDT (LvL 9) - Immortal Call (LvL 11) - Increased Duration - Phase Run (LvL 11)"
What's the reason of leveling the gems to exactly that level? Is there a precise calculation behind this?

Would be awesome if you could reply to this :)

Thanks a lot!!

1) In a 5L, you have to use Melee Phys - WED - Inc AoE - PCoC. I would recommend using Fortify with a movement skill like Leap Slam. Use Leap slam for movement and fortify will be up most of the time.

2) http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Cwdt "Cast when Damage Taken cannot support skills of higher level than specified. Note that this restriction only applies to active skills; any level of supports may be used." Meaning, if your CWDT gem requires level 50 to use, the active skill gems linked to CWDT have to be of the same or lower level requirement, if they're higher, they won't work

hello, first of all i would like to thank you for sharing this guide. i am playing on HC talisman 61 lvl atm and yet having lots of fun. to be honest i spent like 10-20 chaos overall for gearing but its not that bad.

now for the question part , the setup of 5L is (ice crash-WeD-Melee phys-Inc aoe-Power Charge on crit) and (blasphemy + warlord's) + determination for auras.

so i was wondering whats your opinion on swapping Power charge on crit for Blood magic, Warlords Mark for Assassin's Mark (to sustain the charges) + enduring cry (self cast) and then adding +Arctic Armour/Herald of Ash??
it will be harder to sustain power charges through boss fights, but still the AA and Assassins mark crit chance wouldnt make the farm faster and safer?

thank you in advance.

Ok thanks for the reply. I still don't get why you want to have CWDT on lvl 9? Is it because of the damage i need to take for it to trigger? I have read that people like to max it and have it prop when they take a big amount of damage, so the cooldown is not wasted.

BTW I'd like to ask, what rare staff would replace Hegemony's Era the best? I've bought a Primordial Staff with around 130-350dmg + some fire dmg added. It has 12% block chance as modifier. It also has around 30% increased critical strike chance and 6 sockets (still not linked tho).
Do you think its fine? Or is a staff with 40/60/80% global critical strike chance better?

Thanks for your advice :)

Finally decided to do something with my 5L heges on HC and this is what i always wanted to from tempest league.

Some questions :

1)Is heavy strike the best single target skill to use ? If yes due to knockback ?

2)Is using power charge on crit a must have on main attack ? I plan to use fortify coz melee on HC :P

3)this may sound weird but, since ice crash hits in 3 stages as it spreads out, If you knockback mobs with attack, is it possible they get hit by more waves than the first ?
