Thanks for sharing and cleaning the post :P i'm definitly comming back to POE to try this build
finally something wich gives me motivation to go play :D

Thank you for helping me!
Glad i made you come back

Hi, i can't do math.. can someone help me ? xD

Sooo i have a 475 mana cost leap slam.

how much damage do i do to myself and is the blood magic gem and the additional damage it deals counted in ? for CWDT procing i mean.

(for more information, i have an estimated 3% damage reduction (92 armour) and i'll be taking the ascendant berserker, so 5% more damage taken)

Also, what level should my CWDT gem be to proc at each leap ?

i couldn't get my hands on a corrupted bitterdream that's why it's only 475 :(

i hope i was clear.

Another variant I have tried is with a voideye running my anger, seems great. I wasn't able to get the corruption on my scepter so I run 5 jewels.

you actually dont need to be in full mana, half is more than enough, so unless you use some other aura... that isnt needed. (and you loose life and res and all, but you do get higher lvl on anger)

the blood magic multi is included in that tool tip, as for how much damage you take:
475* 4 = 1900 * 1.05 (5% more) = 1995, not sure how much exactly the armour will effect you, but you can easily test it, i dont think youll make it to lvl 14 cwdt (1980 damage threshold), but try it... if not, than lvl 13 for sure

Some more input after more experimenting.

Shield Charge is very viable for anyone not wanting to hop and hop (and hop and hop and hop). You don't need much too much APS to hit optimal "proc rate" (in fact too much will decrease DPS, because CWDT has a 0.25s cooldown), and you get to use a shield for more tank.

Next, I've scaled my mana costs enough to trigger CWDT 17 with fortify active. My Shield Charge is linked to Fortify, making the cost scaling a pain of course (need Melee Splash corruption). This plus 7.5K - 8K HP is a great survivability boost in theory, but I haven't had time yet to test much. Without Fortify, I can trigger CWDT 18, something like 20% DPS increase but makes me too squishy (for now).

Fun build. Too bad the equipment barrier is high (and getting higher with Fevered Mind costs). Have fun!

How much attack speed you have in order to get to 0.25 attack speed? And do you have to press close to your char in order for that to work?
For that mana cost, how many mana jewels you use? 5?
Also can you link gear/tree and video will be great

7 jewels.

As I recall, anywhere within 2.5 - 3.2APS for Shield Charge was fine. When I hit 3.4APS, the proc rate dropped. Measured using max BV stacks divided by base duration (5s in my case). Theoretical max is 20, and I was able to maintain 18 - 19.

Yes, click at feet. Shield Charge scales with APS, Cyclone scales with movespeed (much harder to adjust).

Anyway, I made the switch to Berserker. The difference in armour values and buffs messed up my damage taken, so I need to figure a way to retune everything lol :D 40% more damage too attractive to pass up.

Once I get all this down, I'll try to get some new vids out.

Bandits?

So... I've been working on something horrifying. Call it a spinoff of this insanity.

Meet Bearzeeker.
100% life leech vaal pact + The Retch + Blood Rage + Righteous Fire + VMS.

Yeah. I think I got everything...

I decided to say fuck it and use a +3 staff (although only +2 right now, sadly), as you can use a bunch of supports that work with both gems at once (cyclone and VMS). I currently have 20k~ tooltip (can't check with frenzies up that easily, as I die pretty quickly) on VMS, but scratch math indicates I will pass 50k tooltip, perhaps 60k if I'm lucky.

Currently rather low level and need to work out my gear a bit, but the character should be public for you guys to check out. My current tree is a pretty big WIP, but I should max out at 10 jewel sockets and 210% life for maximum fevered minding.

My CWDTs are currently too high level for my manacost, but I can deal with it. It'll be plenty high enough once I get the appropriate jewels, which I can't quite afford.

The Retch + Alchemist makes my 3xZerphi's last for over 3 minutes with 24 charges in each!

Staff Goal (or something thereabouts):
Prefix:
+1 All Gems
+2 Fire Gems
Supported by Level 1 Blood Magic (Vagan7)
Suffix:
Multi Mod (Elreon8)
Reduced Damage Taken from DoT (Leo 3)
Increased Attack Speed (Vagan)
