If you use Controlled Destruction which gives a zero crit chance, why do you take crit nodes on the tree?

cuz it's -100% flat decrease (~6%), but ~43% MORE damage that is multiplicative. Overall it's just the best gem in the entire link

I'd recommend not going for poison and get nature's boon as your 3rd node. It's not obvious and me and my friend thought the node totally sucks, but it actually benefits from "flask charges gained" properties you have, so it ticks not but 1, but 1.x resulting in 1/2 charges per second. It's such a HUGE QoL thingy that getting like some poison damage is not worth it. For example I can use quicksilver 4+ times without touching a monster implying it didn't proc the 20% free use

I don't know how to compare the damage gains between Herbalist vs Alchemist, but Alchemist gives more tank + huge QoL (immunity to shock/freeze/ignite) AND some damage as well I regretted the Herbalist and put those points into Alchemist. The small node on the way is also better and goes along well with everything you have, even nature's boon. Again, not knowing the damage values I think if you don't go for +poison nodes / poison linked gem it's better to proceed with Alchemist.

I see you dont use fast cast or echo gem, whats your FC from tree+items and how well works for you wothout this gems

fc/echo is needed if it's a mobile encounter where you can't really just stay and spam BV, however during most of the encounters I face I can stay and facetank the boss while spamming BV because I only run up to t14 so far. Thus, I have 20 stacks up and I don't need FC/Echo therefore I do more damage since one of the links isn't FC/Echo. I do have IncDur tho since my chest got 2 red sockets and I didn't bother to recolor - it's fine anyways.

Basically my current playstyle is I run into a pack, cast a few BV until I get to a boss where I just spam BV / flasks. On packs I don't need 20 stacks unless it's a unique pack where I go with the boss logic, so I don't use FC unless it's a eleRes map where I swap PtL onto FC. Currently and for me it's the best way to go I figured, but I'm not extremely good at poe so take that with a grain of salt. I also think FC > Echo because of slightly improved mobility and damage. Echo is good very early on, like during leveling, since your stacks expire too fast for you to maintain 10+ and with SE you can get from like 0-2 remaining stacks to 8-10 really fast which seems better to me rather than getting high stacks from FC.

I have a question about the CoH+BV+Warlord's+PCoC interaction with the other damage BV link. Does the CoH BV need to crit to get the charge? What is the best way to ensure you're at the right amount of CoH BVs vs normal damage BVs?

I have a question to everyone who knows the answer. :D

Firstly I'm curious about the interaction of decoy totem and a warcry.
Let's say I put both into a CWDT setup, as both of those spells taunts the enemy (warcry on me, totem on totem) I wonder who will have the 'last taunt' - meaning who will the enemies finally attack, me oder the totem?

Furthermore I currently have a 3L and a 4L pretty much free. As I'm not using the culling setup and neither a vaal haste one. So I'd like a 2nd CWDT setup, does that make sense? I just want to get as much defense as possible while leveling.

I have to guide CWDT setup (cwdt + tempest shield + chaos golem + [molten shell]).
Currently I'm thinking about doing another one: cwdt + decoy totem + immortal call + ??.

Thanks in advance for any advise!! :)

[edit]
I was thinking about a reckoning + blind setup in my 3L... would that make sense? As I'm using the Divinarius dagger, which should count as melee right? Also we are mostly in melee range and with flask I'm sitting at about 75% melee block. Or am I missing something and it won't work?

Taunted enemy is immune to taunt. So, he cant be taunted again, until old effect perishes.

ok, but then there still is the question, which taunt will count if I have both spells in my cwdt setup? In which order do they get executed? Can I influence it?

I decided to go with the "Added #-# lightning damage" to spells version of Vessel of Vinktar. I don't have Phys->Lightning gem in my 6-link or any lightning damage on gear. But just this is enough to leech me back from 5% to 100% in less than a second.

Tbh, theoretically I know Phys->Lightning version should give better leech but I don't see the difference from using this flask. It's leeching just as fast and adds some dps.
