Is Doryani's Catalyst better than yours?

Hi

I'm new so please pardon the noob questions.

Why don't you use Flammability and Elemental Weakness? I'm assuming they don't work for Scorching Ray?

What do you think about spending the 4 points to use Temporal Chains as the 3rd curse (beside Vulnerability and Enfeeble)? Would that make things safer?

Thanks

Also I must say I love your guide. Things you say make more sense to me than some other guides do.

Flammability and Ele Weakness work with ray. I dont use them, cuz i want to have easy automated curses. For that best way is CwDT lvl 1 for my build. For the ele curses to be good, they need to be lvled, which makes them unusable with only lvl 1 CwDT and high lvl CwDT is not fast enough. While Enfeeble and Vulnerability r very good even at low lvls. You can always make Curse on Hit Orb of Storms, if u like.

I havent done the math and went with my gut feeling with curses. With EE and 8 stages of Ray u give mobs -74% fire resits. Meaning more and more -resits will be less and less effective. While Vulnerability is always 33% multiplier.

For 3rd curse not enough gem slots :)
I rather have extra 4 points and not giving up some gem, i use, then Temp Chains. At the beginning i had those points for double curse, until i got it on amu. If u rly want, just swap Vulnerability with Chains. I find Enf and Vuln good defensive and offensive combo, fits my needs. But all this is optional, u can always get gloves with Vuln corruption and have 3 curses.

No. It is still a good option tho. Kinda a middle ground between Brightbeak and my scepter.

I just get a Karui Sceptre

26% increased Elemental Damage

23% increased Spell Damage
52% increased Fire Damage
+19 to maximum Mana
+13 increased Cast Speed
{crafted}44% increased Spell Damage

its a good choices or not?

yes

Sry im new and 44% increased Spell Damage cant be crafted

its clashed


I need to buy another one


another question Can i use a dagger or a wand in this build?

Happen to have a video of you doing a map clear? I know you mentioned SR isn't the best(which I'm sort of aware of) but I wouldn't mind seeing the build do a map if you happen to have a video laying around :)

With wand u cant use melee movement skill and dagger is is not good, since useless implicit.

Been planning to make one.

I love the idea but I hate scorching ray because clear speed in maps, what spells can be used with the build?

Almost any spell u want and is good as a none crit build, Spark, Frostbolt, Arc, Firestorm ... . Chaos and phys spells can be used too, but not as good. Can scale elemental much better in this build.
