I have a question about the CWDT gems, because the watchers eye is so fucking expensive, could we put another gems like immortal call or steelskin with increased duration instead ball lighting and purifying flame?

And because i dont have the energy leech from the watchers eye or the shield (shaper mod), would i need energy leech support in Vortex replacing another gem?

If you can afford a Fenumus Spinnerets and Aspect of the Spider in your setup, that also works for ES on hit. (boots are about 1ex last I checked)

Otherwise, yes no need for BL on CWDT without any ES on hit. Can put in whatever guard skill you fancy, enfeeble, or otherwise.

And no, we do not leech off of DoT. ES Leech gem would be very bad. We get ES on kill from Ascendancy, some recovery based on our evasion, and Wicked Ward.

Try not to get hit :)

Flesh and Stone also makes for a nice defensive aura.

Thanks for the tips. I need to wait to get that boots because their price can only go down and i am using Discipline and Malevolence and i dont't have enought mana/reduced reservation for the spider aura in this moment.

I think I would need the Aul amulet to be able to do that.

For the moment i try to not get hit, but some of the metamorph bosses omfg xD
