The one place I didn't check... in game! POB updated.
I mean we grew accustomed to not check much stuff in game and rely on third parties.

Was looking for a fun build to finish out this league and decide on this one. I am leveling a generic Storm Brand build but my question is, when should I transition over to this one?

Made a few changes to your original build to get more dmg without hopefully giving up on survivability.
Replaced lg cluster jewel with this, which is about 3ex:
8 passives
1 Added Passive Skill is Doryani's Lesson
1 Added Passive Skill is Scintillating Idea
1 Added Passive Skill is Storm Drinker
2 Added Passive Skills are Jewel Sockets
AddED wave on conviction instead of a curse in chest, using a ring with lvl 8 conductivity on hit (removed excess resist mod), and replacing the small cluster jewel with scintillating idea to another fevered mind. Added frenzy charges b/c blood rage. Added lightning dmg node above deep thoughts, and last lightning dmg node on large cluster jewel. Still lvl 98.
24.4m Shaper dps
still 4k life

This pastebin also triggers that spam thing but if you go to the pastebin url in your browser and enter the captcha, you can just manually copy the code and import it using the whole code instead of the pastebin link.
Did a significant rework myself today. Currently: 3.5K life [7k EHP MOM] and 30.8M DPS. New PoB is included in guide.
Cool, can you notice the drop in HP when playing? How noticable is the increased dps?
I have not noticed the drop in HP at all. The layers of defense make a 1K EHP difference in current PoE unnoticeable. Anything that was going to kill you at 7k was still going to kill you at 8k. With that said, I only notice the DPS different on wave 20 Kosis, Sirus and t19 malformations (if a boss spawns). Anything over 10M DPS is just pushing up POB numbers for the most part. BUT, there was no sacrifice to be made here, so why not.

It beat out heart of thunder for a second annoint by 500k DPS for me. It also could allow for more DPS for someone who wanted to use a bonehelm for their rare.

You can pop archmage in whenever you want and will make your leveling smoother. I would not bother with CWC triggers until 70. A mana pot's mana regen will be fine until you start popping in fevered minds to run the mana cost up. There was never anything wrong with storm brand to begin with, this just pushed it to a 1% build.

Hm, so it sounds like 2 clusters are worth it. Quick questions:
1.) For chip away and the increased brand activation frequency if you haven't used a brand skill recently, do you know if brand recall is considered a brand skill or does brand skill here mean actually casting a brand? Wondering if we actually get this frequency bonus since we're always recalling brands.
2.) Why do you only use 1 passive on each of your large cluster jewels? The cluster jewel notables are so powerful, if you were to get jewels with 3 clusters and get 4 points refunded by deallocating runesmith to hit the "top" passive on each of the jewels, you could probably get much more out of your points. Losing runesmith will mean 1 less brand but you can make that up by just getting grand design on one of your med. cluster jewels.
This is a really cool update, I'll definitely be playing around with 2 clusters!
By the way, is FalOhmUm a runeword from d2? Which one is it??

I doubt you can sustain RF without the militant faith jewel.
Not sure if POB limits mana cost automatically or storm brand now costs more mana than you have.
What's it like using breathstealer gloves with the aura spore things?
I am going to have to run Militant faith, and the Mana cost thing won't work since it is over my max mana.
For those of you running WoC, just remember if you are off-screening mobs, WoC is useless with Cyclone. The same reason Fortify is useless with Cyclone.

It's chaos. This was my league start bane character. I re-specd after finishing my SB hiero. My hierophant is JahLoMalGul [brand].
I keep playing with large cluster jewels but have no found 1 that beats out rune smith. That node is 12% cast speed and 30% increased damage as well. I will re-evaluate after hitting 99 today and taking over poe.ninja.

Credited you in change log! Thanks for your contribution. WoC (or any exposure) is only for boss anyway. We long ago passed the 1-shotting trash level.
