This looks like an awesome build! i am going to try it out.

How would this work when you are on a tight budget? Just did a quick calculation and the recommended gear would cost about 375C AND 6E..which is about 375c and 6e more than i have right now.

However, i was lucky a few days back and found an poets pen en and tabula...would this build also work while using this?

Are there any other budget alternatives available to use?

(i appreciate i might not be able to clear hight maps, but for the time being this should be ok i guess?)

Hi!

you will need the lycosidae shield (120C) and the cospri's mallice (1.5ex or 220c) to work with a tabula.

If you sell the poet's pen i think u can buy both use tabula untill you have enough for a loreweave or other armour that you like

I was reading when you said convert over to two coral rings...However, how would I be able to inflict both curses without the additional curse ring equipped?

We use 2 curses only for leveling purposes.
Assasin's Mark + Warlord's Mark until 2nd Ascendancy. Then switch doedre ring for gifts from above and keep only warlords mark + Ice Herald.
When you have cospri, you can leech life from that (see gems) so replace warlords for enfeeble

Hi, can I use 1 skill point in EE? If not can you explain me why? Thanks

Hey! No unfortunately we can't use EE. Cospri's Malice does cold damage with hits, which means EE will increase enemies' cold resistance by 25%.

The only must-have items are lycosidae and Cospri. Without these two I can't promise anything about damage, but I think it's playable still with Widowmaker + gifts from above. Might need some accuracy nodes before lycosidae.

I prefer Devoto for more clearspeed, what changes should i do with this helm, i have 15crs belt and 12% сospri's, And 1 more question, mf variation of this build possible?

Since you have 14+ cooldown and want to use Devoto and Silver flask, you need 8 9 or 10% attack speed on cospri, not more than that, so replace your cospri (should be easy and you might even profit a bit since you trade better roll for worse). Also no coordination node on the tree obviously. Test on your hideout to make sure you aren't above 3.7 APS on cyclone.

Haven't ever played MF so I can't help you there. If you give it a try please let me know how it goes!

woah, 50k is NOT small following bud! :D congrajs on that!

About mana problems, check the post just above this one and please let me know if it helps enough. Even though I never had any, I want to solve Mana issues people have.

I haven't tried ES yet but maybe I should. I'd include Discipline and watcher's eye with discipline ES gain on hit for sure. Also an ES chest with attack critical strike chance mod would be a nice place to start.

WAIT WHAAT?? There is a Watcher Eye with ES on HIT? Holy smokes.. that is really nice :D
I was wondering how would I sustain ES..
Btw I have a small question, why Arctic Breath lvl4 in PoB? can be higher as CWDT supports up to lvl38 gems at lvl1.
Anyway in maps with my ES build, havent switched yet but will try to farm now for that watchers eye!

Oops that arctic breath is a mistake i guess. Also how is the ES version going? what's your total es as of now?

Well I got to maps and finally found my last lab trial so took my life based build to final ascendancy finally!
Everything supersmooth, now just upping my life in every way I can for life build.
But ES.. needs BIG money lol, but I feel it can be better but yes definetly better to START as life. You basicly need a ES chest 6linked and with good stats that will be much more expensive then just a 6linked loreweave lol..
But ye a lot of ES lost if not using ES chest\shield. So very difficult to start id say.. then again im using a Tabula on my life build and it melts, survivablity not a real issue atm although hp is on low 4k side still but im not doing red maps yet.
With ES ye.. proper chest or Loreweave minimum. But I love how you can minmax this and still do fine with minimum requirements on the life version!!
Really lovin the playstyle.

edit: umm... I kinda found an exalt yesterday.. im still wondering.. WHY am I not using a 6linked LIFE chest... hahhaha.. omg. Life is getting up there finally :D

If cyclone hits twice per attack what’s the next cdr threshold after 14%? 27%..?

Okay thank you I guess I read it wrong...Thank you for the build...I want to use GC Gem How would you recommend switch in this gem?

While cyclone does hit twice per attack BUT the tooltip aps already accounts for this.

So you guys are all gimping your dps by not trying to hit just under 7.57 aps with >14% cdr on belt or boots.
