HoI is useless, if you take it for damage.
If you want frenzy charges the other way than blood rage, take Poacher's Mark as 3rd curse.

@OP - drain essence doesnt seem to work with CoC. There was topic about it on reddit.

I was rather thinking about self cast essence drain. Not really sure how it works with crit. With charges should be around 40%. Slso its possible to swap assasins mark on atziri for vulnerability.

What level should I go staff? Can't afford a tabula rasa yet and my drops freaking suck this league. I'm lvl 71 atm still doing blade fall.

E: Nvm, guess I'll just go for it after I get a 5L.

Will try to 6L :)

Why do you use a LvL 1 Cyclone?

I got huge survability issues.
We totally lack HPs. To play CoC we are obviously forced to spend a lot of passive points into crit totally skipping life nodes. Too bad the game, at least right now, has too many oneshotting mechanics. The build itself is funny, I admit it, but it gets frustrating chain dying due to this lack of HPs. To kill Deresso in Merciless I needed 30+ corpse runs.

Build starts at around lvl 75 when you are already pretty set up. Daresso fight is ~ 64, its way to early to make any opinions.

Ive lvled till 70 with bladefall and then took all quest rewards and lvled even more on Driad Lake till 75 when dps and mechanics start to kick in.

When you get to 80 and tell me survivability is still bad, then ill consider it. Then again ill just say that gear check requirement on maps has increased and equipment requires upgrades.

Not many CoC builds can run Lightning Coil and still do sick dps.

Try getting 5l evasion arm. Its very cheap like 1c. Vagan staff can be a pain now, plenty ppl buyout everything to craft GG staff. Try with unique staff in lvling section. Should be enough till you acquire enough currency.

I am looking to craft with this base:



edit: Can suggest "QikQik", he even has a vouch thread.

Now off to farming up chromatics to get 2B3G:

I've just gotten this going and went COC a couple of days ago.

I'm enjoying it. I think the lack of a 3rd curse is making me a bit squishy but we'll see. I know Enfeeble will reduce damage on me dramatically. I think the biggest problem is when I take a crit.

Phys damage in general seems to be hurting everybody so its hard to draw a comparison. The only people not having trouble seem to be the ones not getting hit at all or converting.

So far the only things that have given me any legitimate trouble are the Brutus map bosses and anything thats immune to curses.

I also managed to roll a decent Vagan staff with 9% attack speed to craft once Elreon is 8.

@MrXaros

There are plenty things in this build that give survivability, but as OP says build starts 75+.
I think i can say quite a lot about this build now. Reached 90 yesterday, playing 74-77 maps already.

1. Blasphemy with 20% quality gives 10% additional curse effectiveness, which pretty much means enfeeble reduced damage by 33%, not 30%. 3% is quite a lot. Warlords give 2.2% leech, assasins give 9.9% crit. Also some quality gems are goodly: shock nova with 20% quality has 40% chance to shock (standard has 20%)!
2. Ligntning coil + good topaz flask reduced damage by 25.5% during flask (assuming you got 85% lightning res.
3. Flask setup is important: make sure you have Quicksilver one with Curse Immunity and recharge on crit, also you have to have Granite one: best would be 3000 armor + 100% extra armor + recharge on crit. Wht i recommend also is wearing Ruby fask so you can swap armor one to fire.
4. Vaal grace is goodly cd here for hard packs/beyond uniques. I facetanked 3-4 different Beyond Uniques with this build successfully in 75+ maps, only 1 dude gave me trouble, because i didnt have cold resist flask.
5. I have 4100 hp and 150 shield, yet still all bosses that have chaos damage are no go. Simple avoid them because you can get 1shotted.
6. Be aware some mobs are curse immune meaning, you wont leech from them, skip them.
7. Hard maps are no go with this build. Not only curse immune, i avoid vulnu maps and enfeeble, and generally reflect maps because life spikes quite a lot.
8. I am looking forward to Quality curse gems to have 10% additional chances to grand power and endurance charges, that should improve sustain even more.

Great weapons you got here guys :) too bad i am unlucky with regals so far.

@believers contact me ingame later on today so i can give you white eva base 5L armor for free.
