Hi, I hope this can still find you. I noticed in the upcoming patch, there is a change that reduces duration and increase cdr? Sorry Im not being specific, I bumped into a post talking about your build but dropping the boots and gloves and still maintain the minimum time needed to constantly swap between the buffs. Because to divine these two pieces would be cancer lol.

Unfortunately, the original op of the post has deleted his post. I just want to draw your attention on this. Thanks

Yeah like, I was playing around in PoB and if you hit exactly 99% (I'm assuming things maybe break if you go 100%) it really changes the game in terms of gearing:

with two 10% reduced on weapons, you can drop 6% reduced from your jewellery in total so you no longer have to have perfect rolled jewellery, basically meaning 10x as many timeclasp/warped timepieces are usable.

with 99% reduced you no longer even need the saqawal boots or gloves, even with the full base duration you can hit tickrate cap

you can drop all the Less Duration boosting shenaningans on weapon, with the above-mentioned changes all you need is a regular 20/20 less duration to hit tickrate cap with only helmet. so you basically gain two full gear slots and half the affixes back on your weapon (can put aspect somewhere else since it doesnt need to be supported by the juiced up less duration)

you can even change out the 10% less duration mastery for 10% more duration while retaining tickrate cap; this gives your tornadoes some extra duration back when you link them to inc. duration

I'm probably going to update this guide for 3.21! As someone pointed out up top, the crucible mods that give decreased duration is MASSIVE for this build if they work. No boots or gloves required and theoretically should hit the server tick cap on number of tornadoes (RIP GPU). The shield tech would not be required anymore either. You would just need 2 crucible weapons, saqawals helm, aspect of avian crafted on something with less duration linked, 14% reduced duration warped timepiece, 2 20% timeclasps (or any combination that adds to 34% reduced duration). I need to do some testing first to see if this actually works and will report back.

I'm trying out a poison pathfinder first because that was my leagustart char. If anyone has any ideas of how to make the poison variant work (aka more than a few mil dps with decent life recovery and defense), please do share. Though I have a hunch that a hit-based build that already feels like a DOT may not feel great when converted into a poison build and apeps rage may be necessary.

Huge shoutout to the saqawals-enjoyers keeping this thread alive for the past few months! We may be in a saqawals renaissance this league.

Edit: just confirmed the crucible weapons work. Don't need gloves or shoes and still poo poo out a ton of twisters

Have you tested whether twisters come out of the triggerbots? I saw on a post that triggerbots don't work with every triggered ability, for example abberaths hooves
