Your gems are too high level. CwDT level 1 requires firestorm and blade vortex to be level 8 or lower. For immortal call, it can’t be more than level 3.

The reason for this is cast when damage taken requires the gem it supports to be equal or lower in player level requirements.

Vesuvius079 - thanks for the help!

Hello,

I am highly confused. On reddit and your own character you are running purity of elements and some mana reservation nodes. On your guide you run without purity and no gems in your shield.
Can you please clarify why the difference? Is the idea from the guide better? Because it makes less damage than the original setup on VMS.

If the guide version is better why don't we have any gems in our shield?
At least the pastebin with the belt doesn't have anything in it.

thanks

The purity of elements is an experiment I was doing to try to balance resists without alira and diamond skin but now that I’m looking at it again it was a mistake. I will switch back to the pastebin configuration of my tree soon. The difference you are seeing in damage is primarily due to the fire pen off hand that I have on my char(the pastebin character uses a shield) rsther than the nodes. You should definitely go with the pastebin setup and use alira if you need more resists.

For gems, the pastebin does have stuff in the shield, it's got the immortal call cwdt phase run links there(though if you use a shield it's a tiny bit cheaper to run those in the weapon instead).

I noticed your Purity of Elements experiment and tried it myself, but also added a Watcher's Eye with immunity to Ele Weakness and increased fire damage (would prefer fire pen, but couldn't find one). Pretty much takes all the pressure of the resists and gives a lot more flexibility with passives/gear. The only thing it leaves me vulnerable to are the element-specific curses, which is a trade-off I'm happy with.

I think this is a good idea. I bought a Watcher’s Eye with fire-penetrate and Unaffected by Elemental Weakness while affected by Purity of Elements. I can dual wield Razor and Essence-sceptre and replace some jewels with flat fire damage, don’t need to worry about resistance.

Well, I just got to level 68 and was really hyped to get the destruction going, but temporal chains just isn't going off?

I've got my link alright on my glove and the glacial cascade is hitting people right up in their face, but it just never pops! :(

Temp chains is too low level so it tries to be supported by both CoH and CwDT which makes it supported by neither. Also, try to get quality curse on hit as the increased curse effect is the main benefit of it.

Alrighty, thanks a lot! Seems to be working now that I leveled it up a bit!

Great build. It gave me a good catalyst for memes. I took your build, and added in a mjollnir / vaal earthquake setup. Here is the result:

Much less practical, but definitely more FPS drops!

I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
