Hi man!

I'm trying your build and really enjoing it sooooo much, but I'm experiencing a problem that I dunno how to fix.

Everything worked great, just keep my "W" pressed, everything exploded and my energy shield was perma refreshed, everything was fine untill I took "Corpse Pact", the last ascendancy node.

I dunno why, but after 5-6 casts it seems that spirit offering procs got halved, and I begin to lose ES/Life for that. It seems like, when I reach +200% cast speed, the frostbolt cwdt and the offering/desecrate cwdt start to proc separeted. Why?

I repeat, everything worked perfectly untill now, gems are the exact level than yours, I got no phys reductions at all, 0 armor.

Can you help me with any advice? You can find me on steam with the name "L'amico di tu ma".

Thank you very much man for this uber build you shared with us all :D

Hi. I cannot see your character. Make your profile public so that I can see your problem.

Basically, spells supported by CWDT has a cooldown of 250 ms. If your cast rate becomes faster than this cooldown (4 casts per second), you cannot trigger spirit offering every time anymore. The solution is to get more life so that the self damage becomes less than a half of the amount of heal by spirit offering. Get as much life as possible from your gear, and the "increased effect of offerings" helps as well.
As your character levels up, you'll take more life and ES nodes, so this will not be a problem. In the meantime, you can consider replacing offensive passive nodes with life and ES nodes to solve this problem.

Hi, thank you for the build! I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, though I still have a long way to go to optimize my setup. This is the first build I've played that made me turn off screen shake :)

I'm still a bit inexperienced with a lot of the fine details of this game and I've been trying to work through and fully understand this build. There's one thing puzzling me a bit; what's the purpose of Spell Cascade on the Desecrate? Since Spirit Offering is limited to consuming 5 corpses, is it just there to have a second patch of chaos damage on the ground?

Ok, I think that the spells global cooldown is, probably, the source of the problem. So, do everybody have my same problem, am I correct? If you keep Ice Nova button pressed you start to lose es/life at a certain point, right?

Could you please tell me, if the sequence of skills in combination with CWDT is important and if so, how it affects it?

It is a great guide, expecially cost wise. I am just a little concrened about having the perfect colours for all those sockets.
Many thanks for your reply.

This question is so deep that I can't believe you are a new player. The short answer is NO, it won't affect anything.
As you may know, the position of the gem slot affects the order of the skills triggered by CWDT. However, desecrate has a short delay before creating corpses, so corpses will be generated after spirit offering is cast. It does not matter if desecrate is triggered before or after spirit offering.

For the staff, you'll need 167 trials (chroma spam) on average, which is not too bad. For the body armour, you can just use crafting recipe.
