Hello everyone,
First thanks for the good written guide and the build.
I just started to follow the guide and I have few practical questions:

1. As from 3.0 they reduce the number of summoned skeles to 1, and this mean that with 4aps (PP limit) you can summon 4 skelis and cast 4 times DP. And till the third cast you are waisting the chain.
first - 1 skeli - DP - no chain
second - 2 skeles - DP - 2 chain
third - 3 skeles - DP - 3 chains (max)
forth - 4 skeles - DP - 3 chains (max)
In total you have 1+3+4+4 = 12 hits (hits+chains) per second.

If we use From dust jewel allowing us to cast 3 skeles at the time and increasing the cooldown with 1 second the math will be:

first - 3 skeles - DP - 3 chains (max)
second - 3 skeles - DP - 3 chains (max)
third - 3 skeles - DP - 3 chains (max)
forth - 3 skeles - DP - 3 chains (max)
In total you have 4+4+4+4 = 16 hits (hits+chains) per second.

The downside is that for 1 sec you deal damage only on specific area.
the other option is the enchant: 40% chance to Summon an additional Skeleton Warrior with Summon Skeleton
I think is better than DP enchant.
What do you think about?

2. The effectiveness of the CoC setup.
I know that this setup is for additional damage only but without accuracy on the tree your crits are very inconsistent. Is it really deserves the investment of 6l?

And small tip for levelling for everyone:
Sins we don't need Empower when levelling, I placed Warlord's Mark in the PP - helps a lot.

Best Regards,
