To make crit really shine you have to go all out on it. This build is a beginner build to make it easy to gear up. As such, no crit gear is required and most of the damage nodes are base dmg vs crit. Most crit trees forgo the shield completely, use a 2h staff or dual wield, and take completely different nodes. When you start saying "rebuild this" you are really saying, "do a completely differnet build" in which case i'd just follow a crit build thread if you want to try it.

Apep's Rag and clear mind jew is a beginner frendly?
ok :DDD

- Apep's rage is not a must,Clear mind jewel is under 10c. In fact we can still do tons of dmg with average gears.
- Fast lvling, cheap gears, safely, no uniques required = beginner friendly.
need more defensive technique other than ec cwdt ic. and perhaps post some current gear and stats?

Do not really need more defence. The build relies on your totems dealing AND tanking damage while you just place them, if they're about to die you replace them again, and you never stand still so hardly ever get hit. If you're taking too much damage, respec some damage for defence in tree or gear.

One thing I do slightly differently is I have Phase Run linked with CWDT, Immortal Call and Increased Duration, since I prefer it. That said, I also don't use a shield and have no problem surviving.

i added a flame golem as a damage boost as well as a decoy. Still, just a personal choice.
Is Rain of Splinters worth? I have 1 Clear Mind Cobalt jewel. And what kind of jewels/stats should I look for?

Are there any updates to the recommended build? Anyone here who found anything to optimize for HC play or is it all perfect? (Tempest)


Also, I see OP only mentioning wands, why are sceptres never utilized?

Why added chaos over iron will in a 5 link when iron will gives waaay more dps?
In the video you say to run Vaal haste and wrath, do you think running both wrath and anger is viable, or do you think it is just too much reserved at that point? This is all for SoftCore btw.
