If we get high armor or taste of hate or a basalt flask does that reduce the damage we take from Scold's Bridle?

yes, but you can tune damage by de-leveling bloodmagic

Gotcha.. I already use a level 1 blood magic and right now I can use level 15 CWDT's for every time I leap slam or whirling blades. I have molten shell in my gems so I was wondering if I can take it out to maybe get to level 16 cwdt. If you look at my character tab i'm trying to figure out where to go from here.

@The_x_ile: put your ele weakness in the first slot of the hammer. That way all your spells will benefit from the curse.

?
is there ny specific order bewtween items that trigger cwdt?

i know that in the same item, it goes from top left clock-wise, but between different items?

Sure there is, if nothing changed. I never tried to verify.

Main hand ⇒ Amulet ⇒ Helm ⇒ Off hand ⇒ Body armour ⇒ Gloves ⇒ Boots

the stone golem isnt really helpfull... and i would recommand to get gloves with life and attack speed, and change whirling blades to leap slam

Have you thought about going soulthirst belt? You'd use one extra saturated sanctified/grand mana flask, and you'd get an INSANE amount of attack speed for ~15-20 seconds each use.

"Lose Souls gained from Soul Eater on Flask Use" doesnt that mean that every time ill use a flask (and i used alot of those) ill loose everything?

It does. Therefore if you can manage yours flask for hitting 1 flask in 9-10 seconds and killing masses of enemies in this time - there will be insane increase in damage. But every flask spam will end this effect. IMO spamming onslaugh+divine is better then this :)

PS: Duno how much damage reduction will be given on every eated soul - could happen this will brocke whole CWDT build.

I tried leap slam and I just really don't like it at all compared to whirling blades. Especially since to be able to keep up at all you have to use that hammer that has no good mods on it. I'll experiment without stone golem but I thought life regen and taunt are pretty nice to have for this high HP build.

Finished ascending and made a lot of gear changes last night. If you click my char tab it comes up first.

I think I'm finally right where I want to be and ready to start grinding maps.

I decided to go the whirling blades and projectiles route and I am loving it so far. I don't need to get close to anything dangerous and can just circle around it like a shark. Also dropping one Last breath flask for an evasion flask puts me up to 55% dodge from like 5%. Totally worth it IMO as long as I am clearing quickly.

I have a corrupted bitterdream but in order to make the colors correct I have to spend 100 chrom and 100 vaal with Vorici 8. I can already use CWDT 16, maybe even 17, so it might not even be worth it to spend the currency.

Soul Eater gives 5% damage reduction per soul, it is a complete non-bo with Scold's, believe me I've tried to make it work... With Soulthirst, you're at 90% phys reduction most of the time and there's no way to proc cwdt with that. Also it eats souls so you can't even use Vaal Molten Shell. The anti-synergy is crippling :(

how much worse would be lv10 faster casting be than lv12 WED?

not sure about that, but in my opinon faster casting wont work with any attakc, only with spells, so that corruption is useless( again, for attacks )
