Since I'm in warbands atm, I can forget shavs etc from standard. However using this build as inspiration and trying to tail my own life based build (with Vaal Pact and EB). Am currently level 72 and using a Tabula. Just switched out PCoC for Assasins Mark and testing a bit.

I will skip unwavering for a while, but how would you prioritize;
EE vs Dual Curse vs 1 extra Power Charge (6 total instead of 7)?

Well, depending on your crit chance with charges up you'd really want to go for the 7th charge. I'd prioritize EE second, as it's a huge chunk of extra damage for little investment. Dual curse would be third by a large margin, it helps with single targets/bosses but if you can only afford a single curse, use ele weak and call it a day.

Best of luck, and let us know how your progress is going man.

Is the leech crafted on wand still working for coc builds now in 2.0?

Only if it was crafted after 2.0 was released, to my understanding.

One of the recent patches concerned this issue, but it only seemed to address post-2.0 elemental leeches. I don't think GGG has said anything about the ongoing problem with pre-existing elemental leeches.

Her leech was made local iirc, I do get leech from my doryani's belt post 2.0 drop though. Even still lowlevel cwdt proc warlord's mark curse, or even manual casting it + atziri's promise = gg.

Only really need warlord's for single target anyways, leech is fine when clearing mobs/rares in maps.

No, the Catarina mod is still global when it's actually working correctly. I had a cold leech wand before 2.0 hit and it was doing nothing (didn't show on the char sheet, in particular). I removed it and re-added it and now it applies to everything, including spells (it's showing on the char sheet, too).

That's a real shame then, GGG really needs to fix that if true. There's some threads I see with a GGG employee saying "they'll be looking into it" weeks ago. Any new info/responses?

Still nothing. Also physical leech at Doryani's Invitation for my ranger, which dropped before 2.0, doesn't appear at stats at all and therefore not work, even if today's patch should fixed that. Sigh.

So according to you, it seems to be worth crafting leech on the wand anyways (I aint got belt nor gloves yet, so only leech atm is when cwdt procs warlord's).

Experimenting with my life based build. The Tabula Rasa forces me to only use 2 spells since im using GMP too, but am using a standalone spell totem with firestorm as "opening" spell. If I understood it correctly, since I'm using a "pure" barrage (and wand) without any elemental dmg added, the FS will open up EE, so when my first barrage crit comes, the linked Arc+FP hits targets with already lowered resists due to EE/Firestorm.

After respeccing I lost some APS from 2.3 down to 2.0, so had to invest a few skillpoints in Attack speed + leveling a haste gem. Am back at 2.34 APS atm.

I'm using EB, which with a +3 ES on Hit jewel can sustain Barrage, but definately not KB. Haven't tried KB before, only barrage in my old COC-char in standard, but god heavens how effective KB is. I'm definately tempted to see if I can make it possible to sustain KB, the clear speed in maps with KB is totally insane. I switch to barrage when needed for single target, but with KB I have almost 3x faster clear speed.
