Just started mapping, and like before I'm having a blast. I love Cyclone xD...my gear is terrible though, anyone got a good crafting guide, cheatsheet or resource that's noob friendly? The crafting table is easy but everything else gets so complicated :O

" For slave drivers and EE, there's also the option to put one point into Avatar of Fire and use whatever to trigger it, but not ideal if you use SRS obviously. |

" You can more or less confirm the formula by:

" SRS might add a bit for bossing as on bosses you should generate charges enough with your melee cyclone; for clear ball lightning should be better (more coverage on applying EE and easier to hit monsters often enough to keep the charges). SRS adds 20 minions to the build though, so it's very thematic (I'm at 99 max - or well will be when my phantasm gem is level 20), but mine do only 15k dps each. Though when/if I get fortify boots, I'm thinking of dropping them to focus on the one thing that kills me, which is lag, and using Cyclone+CWC+Desecrate+Spirit Offering (with mass lag, with cyclone going on I should still survive). Then that'd free up essentially the 4 sockets in gloves (well 3 as I don't use purifying flames and socketed convocation there, I like having it). Generally speaking regularly it feels that CWDT does not trigger correctly, or sometimes will cast desecrate and spirit offering so far away it does not affect me; sometimes though it constantly pops up and it's great. The CWDT setup also has absolutely no effect when you are degening from some damage source :/ |

" I've been running the lightning build for a while and the primary issue is that Hatred is just so much better than Wrath for us in terms of damage (like 3x greater effect or something according to PoB). Slave drivers are very high dps, but even with increased aoe support, their clear leaves much to be desired. For that reason, I think I'm going to try to move to a 2G2W (or 3G1W if I can think of what to do with the green slots) triad grip build soon. This should let me move back to either fire-raisers or solar guards for the clear while being socket efficient. Overall dps should still be higher because I'm using Hatred instead of Wrath. 4W might be the best in the end but don't want to drop 4 ex on those gloves yet. |

I ended up experimenting a bit with the Triad Grip variant. I swapped to Frost Sentinel spectres to capitalize on Elemental Army exposure + 100% cold damage skeletons. The damage is there but honestly, it doesn't feel better than Grip of the Council. I'll have to crunch numbers to see if it's an actual damage gain, but even if it is I'll probably stick with Grip. It just feels wrong losing access to CwC Ball Lightning for EE, as well as having to proc EE with Flame Dash and fortify with Whirling Blades. Plus, I feel like if I'm going to use Triad's Grip to convert skeletons to 100% cold, I need to go balls deep and try to roll my shaper Unset Ring to curse with Frostbite on hit, and that's... more than I want to deal with right now lol. |

there is no Slave driver on the POB manage spectres option? how do I check the dps then?

" Well after testing (replaced skitter bots with discipline and ended up removing holy relic, then used the 4l for the golem with minion damage / multi / faster attacks), survivability is just now a no brainer essentially (5k life, 4k es with spirit offering, I could have lasted forever in chimera cloud phase with damage mods), I do feel a noticeable reduced clear speed without the SRS. Still plenty of damage though, but the little bugger did some damage noticeable damage and were great for stragglers. If I was to use the build in HC, I'd definitely go with the CWC+Desecrate+SO combo. |

Uber Elder's down. Took me two tries, though, because I'd never done Uber Elder before. It was fun! This build definitely has more than enough DPS for it. It's just a matter of being able to see the things you need to dodge despite the arena being cluttered with skeletons and fireballs. Now I can finally map in peace without worrying about influence.
