Ahhh I see the change in PoB now, not sure how I missed that. Thanks!

No probs, have fun!

I've just dropped Saboteur now I'm using thread of hope. It's not a bad use of points, I just don't have many spare.
I've gone a different route, and am using bow + Signal fire - not necessarily any better (And DPS numbers are looking worse at least with my current gearing) but it is doing just fine.
Not had much playtime, still need to re-roll helm, get an amulet, grind a boot enchant and improve rings + belt. I would like to get enough chaos res to run divine flesh, hence some of the current pieces (I tried to re-roll the chaos res on chest, and it got worse!).
Empower 4 was a lucky slam on the first attempt and is probably worth as much as all the rest of my gear!

Any suggestions on how to generate Endurance charges without the warcry? I really, really need these charges....

Warcry doesn't work for me because (Well, it's clunky and ugly since the change, that's that) because I have 2 x wands with "+1 to all skill gems". This makes my Precision at least level 3 and as a result I don't have enough mana to trigger the warcry.

I was looking into the The Red Dream jewel, but I couldn't find any location to place it in order to make it worth....

My only idea is to sacrifice 1 passive, get the jewel socket near `Heartseeker` , place the Red Dream there and get 16% chance to generate an endurance charge (from the Survivalist nodes)

Lower your precision :)
No other way to generate charges

The gem is level 1. Can't go below that (well, it's level 1 the gem, but the aura is level 3 because of the +2 levels from wands)

Was thinking to sacrifice 1 passive (and an existing jewel slot), get the jewel socket near `Heartseeker` , place the Red Dream there and get 16% chance to generate an endurance charge on kill (from the Survivalist nodes). This wouldn't work on bosses tho

What do you think? Would it be worth?

You can safely drop it

Enduring cry is just really good. You probably want it even if you have another way of getting endurance charges.
No real need to run precision unless you have a crit multi with precision watchers eye, and you don't appear to have. Or run off blood magic - drop the lightning golem if needed.

Thanks for your input. I decided to drop precision.

I also switched from lightning to fire golem, but just a temporary tryout. As a conclusion, I believe I'll go with Lightning golem AND Arcane surge on cluster jewel

How important is this attribute from The wise oak?

"

During Flask Effect, 10% reduced Damage taken of each Element for which your Uncapped Elemental Resistance is lowest

I'm trying to decide between using one of these two

PoB shows me much higher dmg from the Dimond flask (because of the enchant). Therefore, the above mentioned defensive attribute might be the only reason to use The Wise Oak instead.

Can't determine otherwise which is better...

The defensive mod on wise oak is really good if you can balance your resistances equall, ideally all of them.
But - you really should be using a diamond flask regardless, you can't get that much crit chance as a trap saboteur and a diamond flask is going to be the best damage flask, and give you more consistent damage.
