I'm really liking the build so far. Thanks!

A couple questions:

How important is 20Q? I'm looking at buying a level 21 gem, but they all the ones listed are 0Q.

Do I need a level 3 empower to beat out slower projectiles? The tooltip with a level 2 empower is less than slower projectiles, but not sure if the tooltip is misleading.



It's nice to have the quality, but it's not required. You will probably want to offset this with a +arrow Drillneck, though. It does make a difference.

Yes, level 3 Empower is required in order to beat SP.

Hi, sorry if this has been answered before, but I'm looking for a CA build to try out and came across this one. I've done some reading elsewhere and people talk highly of Occultist vs Scion due to the interaction between soul strike and wicked ward. Any thoughts on that? I've never actually built a CI char so it's a bit intriguing.

There is another good build for shaper & guardians. Which is the best?

I'm not sure what other build you're referring to.

Several builds/build variants are very good at killing Guardians/Shaper - which is best probably boils down to which is most fun for you to play or perhaps which has the easiest time making the kills on the least budget.

Popular builds for Guardian/Shaper kills seem to be Blade Vortex and Ancestral Warchief.

CI MF is nowhere near as reliable when you have three unique slots taken up (Goldwyrm, dual Andvarius / Ventor). That's a *LOT* of missing ES, with no way to flask out of danger.

Not suitable for our purposes.

Hello ;)
Regarding Wither, which corruption is best for this build, 21/20 or 20/23?
Thanks!

20/23

Wither is mostly used for single target, so AoE isn't beneficial, while increased duration allows you to generate more simultaneous stacks.

So then this must be a mistake (you probably meant duration not aoe, as the optional fourth link)? Quoted from your original post:

  • Wither - Spell Totem - Faster Casting to help kill bosses, and the occasional tankier blue/rare or high chaos resistance mob, Wither totem is your friend. Increased AoE could be added as the fourth link, but is not required.
Either one works. Say you're running a T14 increased monster life map. You're gonna be dropping a lot more wither totems even for white golems, so aoe would help out there. But yeah, duration's the better option, generally, as the focus is primarily for single target dps boosting.

Will edit. Thanks for pointing that out.

If the links are available I like Spell Totem - Wither - Faster Casting - Increased Duration

Tie game, btw.
