How do you get 15 wither stacks on enemies with the current setups?
Anomalous withering step + lvl4 enhance is 10 stacks. What am I missing?

Thanks, but I don't think that's realistic enough in a fight like Sirus/Maven/Über Elder. Because,for one you have to be aware to stack them before using Withering Step, and then you have 2 seconds to get the 5 stack.
(I have no idea how many stacks you can inflict at once with one attack with 50% chance)

In a very idealistic scenario you can get 15 stacks for 2 seconds, but I don't think that works in practice a lot of the times.

It's a very active build, you're managing cooldowns and pressing a lot of buttons. Anomalous withering step with enhance support gives 11 stacks of withered that lasts for 3 seconds. Eternal suffering is enough, don't forget ballista and mirage archer are also spamming attacks, boss will never drop below 5. That means 1 press of withering step and it's at 15 for next 3 seconds.

You're right in that you probably can't keep it up 100% of the time, but you do so much damage it doesn't really matter. This build actually relies on properly setting up burst windows to get some really nice numbers.

The activity of this builds playstyle has nothing to do with this, you can either stack the 5 or not. It depends on how much you can attack in a given time window. And also if it works with ballistas and MA or not (probably yes, but until someone will test it in PVP nothing is sure as we have seen numerous examples of something being worded incorrectly).

Anomalous withering step is 10 stacks with Enhance level 4, not 11.

How much damage you have or don't have has nothing to do with this. A good guide is about being honest with numbers to players and I think this is great build guide.

I'm not here to scuff, I just wanted to remark something about the current build as I think @thedeathbeam cares about the build and the pob.

Everybody who plays Scourge Arrow gets Darkscorn, which converts 25% of incoming physical damage to chaos damage. So maxing resists including chaos, which is much easier with the bismuth flask trick deathbeam figured out.

Quick Run Down? I've seen the Bismuth flasks of Resistences in the PoB and on people's profiles, is there some tech beyond just "use it for resists cause pathfinder"?
