Cospri's version is broken. Most bosses are down in 3-5 secs.

The main strenght of Cospri's version is the fact they introduced Witchfire brew (not existing in prophecy league, when I developed the build), alowing you to always have a reliable a fast way to curse enemies (and posion them). Potentially it frees up a link, since you do not have to use poison gem anymore, but right now I only have a 5-linked one, so I should not feel much of a difference from the main setup (carcass jack).

Update (December 20th).

Reached level 73 with the character, equipped all the gear, gems and jewels I collected for him. I also managed to 6-link a Cospri's Will.
The character is pretty much done, in the following 8 levels (probably lvl 81) I should take all the remaining life nodes; then I will probably grab Vaal Pact and spec into some chaos damage (the wheel under shadow, near Vaal Pact).
So far everything is working fine as expected, did merciless lab without any effort at level 68 and I will try Uber Lab in a few levels (maybe at level 75), just to have a bit more life nodes.

I also updated a bit the first post and the gear section.

Seems that poison dmg from BV it's a bug. No more 600% multiplier of dot.
Does this build still work ?

Yes, it does. It has way more damage than it had before at max stacks and a bit less during general clearing (more than enough to clear everything, since most of your clearspeed comes from explosions, and they scale with monsters life).
Currenctly, as you can see in my profile (character BreachNaeH), I'm running the following setup in the Cospri's Will:
-blade vortex
-controlled destruction
-void manipulation
-added chaos
-iron will
-spell echo (switching into concentrated effect for pure 1v1 fights, like atziri or uber izaro)

I just completed uber lab without any effort and tried Atziri just to check dps.. and it's actually way better than the former versione. The in precise istant I entered the room and hit her with 20 stacks she was already with no health remaining; split phase is a trivial effort, since they have no chance to even cast the first round of spells.

Just started the build and am 55 now let's see if I can keep playing it

Well GGG posted:

The patch note will be: Blade Vortex's "More Damage per Blade" modifier has been changed to apply only to spell damage instead of all damage types. This will remove a double-dipping effect that should not have been occurring.

So is this build dead? Seems like poison won't do anything to it anymore.

Build will still be playable, but it will obviously feel nerfed om bosses.

Well yea, anything is playable vs white packs. Question is if it can still kill boss in reasonable amount of time before all flasks are finished. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Well, you won't blast bosses like you did before that's for sure, you're literally losing a 600% more multiplier to poison so take that however you want to.
