I have been trying a few things for the build.

* lvl10+ CWDT - Immortal call

Currently using lvl 10 CWDT - immortal - incr. duration - tempest shield (manual cast)

Is working really nice, i'm using a high lvl one because we don't want it to proc often. However this setup has help immensely to avoid dangerous two shot of high phys critical strikes. Running 4 endurance right now (aiming for 5 with corrupted belt), the duration is enough so that our life pool is topped off by the high regen from bino's. It also gives time to whirl away from danger or to pot under dire situations.

I think i will keep this, it allows me to map a little more carelessly. Not mandatory probably.

* HoI double cursing

HoT double cursing is really nice, but it has two downsides. 1| sometimes is too slow. 2| we need high int from gear or tree to lvl up the gem.

I tried HoI with great success, using assassin's mark and poacher's mark atm. It addresses 1| and 2| with little downside, i even feel the dps of the explosion provides higher clearspeed than HoT. The dps on reave is the same. I'm still using phys to lightning to shock stack, the damage from hatred is more than enough to proc HoI on every pack.

* current gem setup.

whirl - BM - fortify
hatred - enduring cry - vaal reave (switching back a forth vaal reave and ice golem)
Reave - Melee phys - WeD - phys to light. - multistrike (i'm on a 5l for now)
riposte - reckoning - phys to light. - innervate
HoI - CoH - poacher's mark - assassin's mark
CWDT (10) - Immortal call (12) - increased duration - tempest shield


Once i get a 6L i will try using ice bite for frenzy charge generation and using warlords mark (spec on ghost reaver) instead of poachers. This will provide more automation, less reliance on enduring cry. The only part that turn me a little down is losing the extre pot charges.

I also thinking in dropping IR altogether. Right know i'm not using a single EVA piece. Without IR we get a little chance to evade back, is a little but nice bonus. And i think those points may be better invested somewhere in the tree. The only think i don't like is having to drop the jade flask... if i get rich enough in the future i may try Taste of hate in this slot, nice synergy with Aegis.


Auto cursing is perfectly viable and, yes, HoI is a good choice. Howerver, I like to curse manually. I get PCs from Whirling blades and Vengeance + Riposte + Reckoning, Ass Mark simply makes sure I keep em all the time. Because of increased frenyz charge duration, Poacher's Mark doesn't have to be cast all the time, so clear speed is still great. That's why I don't use HoI/HoT. Instead, I can use Discipline or HoA or Grace etc.

gl!
Noob question, is it possible to drive the tree into eva-ES based, I mean acro and some ES nodes?
Can't use Acro since it gives you 50% less armour.
What is your opinion on using Romira's Banquet ?

Well, I would say that Romira's is a bad choice for crit builds. It's really not hard to have power charges all the time with this setup, so Romira's would actually lower your dps alot.
Hey!

Nice build man, but : "HC Viable" and "can be 1-shoted" ?

I wanna start HC right now and looking for a good build, but this screws me a bit ..
I think this build would be better if you forgot about armor, and block and instead went for stacking pure ES.

Also dropping abyssus would still mean you have 60k DPS which is enough, and you could put on a pure ES helm.

Then you'd have 3k life and 5-8k ES. Put on a CWDT-Warlords and you're never going to die by using Vaal Pact.

T14 'real' clearspeed challenge /1642265
if u really wanted to be tanky, a epic es evasion rare is the only way to go, dropping abyssuss isnt really an option. if you had a suitabily good rare chest, with incredible rings you could positive chaos res, all res capped and like 4k hp with 2k es. its better to drop hatred for defensive auras than to drop abysuss. grace, discipline with a lvl3 enlighten and conquerers efficency allows you to still run a herald and sustain on mana.

depending on set up i have like 6k armour no pots 3k life and 1.2k es and 200k dps to 12k armour no pots 60k dps 3k life 2k es.

but heres the thing, i am about to have 5 ec, i run a topaz flask, with increased evasion, jade flask of iron skill. i dont even run a fire res flask atm because i feel chaos dmgs is more threatening. and my cold res is 81 anyway. i dont ever use my hp pot, so if i wanted i could swap it to a ruby.

realistically, during clears you could have 30k armour +5ec + chaos golem, and 85 90 85 all resist with 5k effective life vs 1hkos, and infinite vs non 1hkos. and a passive enfeeble defence, with fortify always up, which is good enough everywhere except probably uber

Hi! First of all, thanks, I must agree it's a really fun build :)

Before 2.0 this build was stupidly safe. You could run around and kill stuff, go afk, play drunk in 4am, let your cat sleep on the keyboard etc.

After 2.0, every build is in danger of getting one-shotted and you have to predict danger. When facing hard hitters, having Vulnerability curse on you, you can't just run around mindlessly. But if you treat your flasks nice, use Rumi's and Jade for clearing, there's almost no danger at all.

You either die in HC, or live long enough to buy Aegis!
can anyone explain to me :

1.Why are you not using Immortal call? Can we survived without it in higher level maps?
2.What jewel do you use?
3.Can you run Atziri with this gem setup or need to change gem setup for Atziri?

Sorry for my bad english :(
