Hi all,

just hit LvL 81 and rolling meepz. Sitting now on 7k ES. I am not new player, but this is now my favorite char. Also was not playing really any league so far :)

One question here: Is "Elemantal Overload" worth it? Not sure until now.

Thx for the great guide and keep Cursin :)

I have two questions:
1. Just curious, would Pain Attunement (30% more spell damage on low life) work with CI or 1 life is treated as full life and therefore is not low?
2. What do you think of housing 2 cold skills and 2 of the corresponding curses attached to one CwDT and CoHS on a 6L weapon? Would that still work?

Thanks :)

Great questions!

First off, I LOVE Phase Run as a skill. Keep in mind that using Phase Run uses up your Frenzy Charges. It's no big deal but the charges give bonus damage. A Quartz flasks will give you phasing but not the bonus movement speed.

Q1: CI is not considered Low Life. So nothing that benefits Low Life will benefit this build. But that's a good observation!

Q2: One skill can apply multiple curses at once when connected with Curse on Hit. So with a 6 link weapon you could do CwDT 1, *spell*, Curse on Hit, then 3 curses. You would then have lots of space to explore with other gems. Including a CwDT 1 linked to a Phase Run 3 and Immortal Call 3 :-).

Good thinking. Good post :-). (And I'm glad the build is so much fun for you!)

Thank you for your reply!
You confirmed for me what I suspected in regards to CI and Pain Attunement.
For the longest time I wondered what those little green bubbles were and you mentioning frenzy charges lit the bulb duh! Lol
I use phase run in panic mode or for ground speed when I'm out of quicksilver so the "green bubbles" usually are gone by then.

It's great news that 6L weapon can be used, something to keep in mind :)

Of course I cannot stop experimenting and I've made a few of personal tweaks but as I've been fooling around and observing results in action I noticed the following:
Controlled destruction support reduces critical strike chance by 100% which I understand it means there's no chance to crit whatsoever. Elemental Overload tooltip says it grants 40% damage on crit so those two together are mutually exclusive BUT in the guide you said other spells/skills will do the critting. What I'd like to know is which ones are they?
And do I understand correctly that if I have crit chance on any gear it will proc just not apply crit multiplier with EO right?

Sorry if my questions are nooby but I want to properly understand what I have under the bonnet :)

I've neverver had so much fun and creative involvement with any game I ever played and this build really is the icing on the cake! :D

Hi there!

Thank you so much for this guide! Currently loving the build. Haven't had that much time to play but currently at Act 9 without any problems. Anyhow, are you able to suggest any good gear upgrades?

Kind regards,

Hey! Thanks for taking the time to be so encouraging. I'm glad you're loving the build!

First off, I love the Heartbreakers you have. They are the uniques I'd dual wield if I was using uniques. EVERY mod works perfect for this build. You might find more powerful weapons or more defensive shields, but I don't think you'll find a better suited all around weapon. I LOVE THEM.

That aside, honestly the best gear is simply gear that has really high Energy Shield and lots of resists. On boots, prioritize Movement Speed, then ES, then resists.

If you take a look at my character (https://www.pathofexile.com/account/xbox/view-profile/Wrecker+of+Days/characters: ArcCICurse. My gear is really weak and I fly through maps. I have sad ES on almost all my gear and I'm still close to 8500 ES. Eventually I'll be looking for over 350 ES on my 4 links and shield and over 1000 ES on my chest. Then I'll moved on from there. Just to give you some idea of numbers.

Does that help or spur on any other questions?

Thanks again for the kind message. :-)

Vortex will have a 0% Crit chance because of linked support gems. But the three other skills we have connected to CwDT are the skills that are initiating Elemental Overload. We aren't increasing the Crit chance of any of these spells but we are having all three of them cast every time we get hit. So even though each spell only has a 5 or 6% chance to Crit, since they are getting cast "all" the time, will have EO active quite often (less often with the 6 link combo we suggested).

Great questions, great post! Let me know if that didn't answer your questions.
