Playing similar build right now i can suggest to use new unique flask



Its very cheap and will provide you ES from your hp regen and consecreted ground(5%) and you can boost even more with Enduring Cry.

Also 4l in ES helmet i use for free 3 power charges and curse application(works wonders for me):
Orb of Storms - PcoC - Curse on Hit - Assasin's Mark



And i found Vaal Clarity much more practical to use since it have almost tripple Vaal Discipline duration(15s against 5s with increased duration).

Seems interesting can you please link me your gear ( and gem setup) and your skill tree please, i was looking a way to integrate power charge to the build.

Cool idea - I like it! :)

I've been having great success with this build, with one minor tweak:

I'm using a Wand, and have a 4-link setup with: Frenzy - GMP - PCoC - Blood Magic. I also took 2 points to grab the frenzy charge node in the shadow part of the tree for the additional 4% cast and 4% MORE damage.



This extra bit makes the build's damage MUCH higher, by supplying frenzy and power charges, and will also give a quick way to activate the "if you've attacked recently" part of Instruments of Virtue for the 20% cast speed.


I've also been using Stone Golem rather than Flame Golem. The passive regen (90/sec at level 16) is almost a 2% life regen, great for healing up small incidental hits/degen/blood magic casts without tapping into flask charges, and the DPS loss from not using flame golem at higher levels does not seem significant.

All good additions! I never linked the frenzy attack setup, so that is why I didn't incorporate it, but if you don't mind doing it then it is a great idea :)

How does Assassin's mark work with the totems?I thought if the totems get the kill you don't get the power charge from the mark.
Running this build in HC Perandus. I have very little currency but even so I'm fareing well.

At level 60 I tried NORMAL laby and got "poop in your pants" close to ripping TWICE on floor spikes. Haven't tried since. :(

Heres my gear:

Spoiler



I go for zombies and skellies for meat shields. Works great keeping them off my back.

I also have the very same question about assassin's mark in the build. Not once in the video do I see you using it. I've skipped it.

With casting Assassin's Mark by yourself you won't get charges when totem kills yeah.
New spell "Orb of Storms" with curse on hit + pcoc works very well as darkafu wrote before. ;-)
