Alright I think I have made the 2 most optimal paths for the Hidden potential build but I need an expert to tell me which way to go. Either up and over with no large nodes or down under for the reflexes node and slightly more life potential.
1st Path: Slightly easier to get a jewel slot and more of a mixed bag of +10 travel nodes this also has slightly more (6%) max life:
2nd Path: I think this path is better because from what i can see we stack more evade than anything else because of cospri's will and we get more dex and the reflexes node. Also, we have access to the harrier node which this build benefits from because of the lack of movement skill and the cast speed. Finally, we take the far left jewel instead of the bottom near reflexes in order to get a bit more dps from Iron Will since it is the same travel distance:
Like I said I may have overlooked something to make path 1 more viable but please take a look and let me know.
In my opinion, the first tree is better if you are running a build without cospri's and you want to pick up Unwavering Stance for stun immunity, losing any chance to evade attacks (the choice I made in the first version of the build, with Carcass Jack).
The second one is better with Cospri's, because you want to scale evasion to have an additional layer of defense.
I`m on cospri/hidden pot variant and I have some problems with chimera, any tricks to kick some ass? seems I`m too slow moving on cloud phase and also dmg seems not enough.
I was thinking to get 2 dagger(wb) with decay and spell only for bosses, would that be high enough dmg?

Chimera hard until enfeeble tri curse setup going. Then it's very easy. Maybe turn off vuln for enfeeble. Also get quicksilver and run to all his cloud quickly to reveal.
kind of silence in the past days, what you guys did lately, what bosses death already?
having a blast with a build, going for guardians and shaper next
I've come back to PoE after about a year break, started in mid Jan. in the Breach SC league and have been playing your build. I have one question that I could use your help on. I have the set up
4 link: CWDT (lvl 1)-Blade vortex (lvl 8)-Curse on hit (max lvl)-Vulnerability (max lvl)
as in your build guide. The problem is Vulnerability never gets applied. Can someone tell me what I have wrong?

Hi. The setup should work, if they haven't changed the mechanics involved. I invite you to test it in dried lake or somewhere without doing anything, just let CWDT proc and see if monsters get actually cursed or not.
In the general gameplay, you may find the following problems:
- If your main Blade Vortex setup is linked to Increased Area gem, you are gonna kill monsters before the CWDT Blade Vortex even gets in range to hit them and apply the curse.
- If CWDT doesn't proc often, the cursing Blade Vortex may just runs out before having the chance to hit anything; this is even more realistic if you are used to always keep up a high amount of Blade Vortex stacks (20), since you are going to just "overwrite" the CWDT one.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was doing just what you mentioned to try in dried lake, just standing and letting the cwdt proc go off and vulnerability would never show up on the mobs.
Today I was in Vaal City map and it was working just fine, both curses were being applied from the procs. I think you might be right in that the mobs in dried lake were just dying to fast.
