So i have had 6 ex drop so far this league (SSF) still not sure if i should try craft any of my current gear or wait for an 82 ilvl bone helm or convoking wand to drop. I have the mirror bestiary craft too.

I was leaning towards trying to annul the T6 Lightning res on these crusader boots butt still not sure

Crazy acidytrips! I think I've had about the same amount of Chaos drop (no Exalts). What would you be going for in the boots? I'd say spend your currency on something rare. Like a killer Bone Helmet or Convoking Wand. I'm the kinda player that waits to modify the almost perfect drop.

Spirit offering is a little spirit that makes a distinct sound and then travels to you and hovers over you.

Oh, I thought that was something else according to my buffs.

I am not sure why you are not seeing phase run, it fits the requirements for the CWDT you use. One thing is it has a long cooldown AND if you use a skill you disable it immediately. This means it won't cast every time CWDT does and you could be disabling it everytime you use another skill. It is a run away skill, not free immunity to continue fighting ;)

Well, that explains it. I cast skeletons continuously.
I actually sacrifices my run away skill for the phase run, maybe I better get my frostblink back then.

Thanks for the insights.

This discussion makes me wonder how the skill choices might vary with play-style because I also cast skeletons a lot.

I've trained myself out of doing it as much because I realised that as they got more life (as I got more passives) mashing the skellies button meant I wasn't letting them live long enough to explode.

So now I try to only cast skeletons when the count drops below 9, ideally 6 or less.

I'm only just starting Act 10 and although I'm finding that "the best offence is a good defence" - things usually die fast enough that I don't need to care about defence - but some things just kill me too fast. For example, Izaro's green stuff is pretty much a 1-shot kill so the Ascendancies are a challenge (I only got the first 2 points so far).

So I'm thinking about changing Phase Run for some other movement skill and maybe a different (wider) AoE skill instead of Ball Lightning to hit as many enemies as possible? Arc maybe?

Thanks for your reply!

Sadly I am just about to give up, since all I do since I started low level maps yesterday is dying. I basically can't do deliriums in maps because I die twice to every one despite trying to fall way back.

Right now it looks like I can't get to the better gear with only frustrating death runs and no leveling. Maybe it's the chaos damage again, I can't find the missing 10%. Even got a real six-link before mapping to have actual stats, but it's not enough.

I tried in a lower level area with casting enfeeble manually, since it still doesn't proc for me. With my coordination skills I can't keep it up in more dense maps. I'm a bit disheartened now, after it started out being such fun.

Haha, man i have 70% magic find this league. its just actually insane. Legit had 2 ex drop on T5 Strand.
Checked poedb for anything juicy i could get on boots and there's nothing so looks like i'll be waiting.

Noticed you said Minions can't proc EE,

dropped for me and if i remember right any golem socketed will gain EE. Would it be worth using ring with golem and using the ball lightning 4 link for spectres?

Now this is just what worked for me, only recommendations, you can mod this build anyway you like, or play it wreckers way and be just fine.
I used elusive step instead of phase run.
I scrapped that whole ball lightning CWDT for flame dash+arc+CoH+enfeeble.
I NEEDED a movement skill and Arc will connect to a pack from half a screen away.
At T16 I kinda committed to swapping enfeeble for vulnerability, but that was when I was pushing content, gave up on leveling, and dying more than I like to.
The downside is flame dash will nerf your skeletons slightly, the upside is you'll be alive and the zombies will get the killing done:)
From dust jewel makes you drop 7 skeletons at once so you can ease off the urge to spam it :) Get in trouble, Drop skeletons on yourself, the zombies will run to you as well.
These variations make the build busy, and not so much one button fun, but I need 50 things going on or I can't concentrate! LOL Good luck!
IDK, Wrecker taught me how to analyze the tree, really look at what is important and to have focus in your pathing. The tree is like chess, you have to look at the end goal and work your way back to where you are now. He really helped me love this game! Also zombies LOVE concentrated effect for their slam, check it out in PoB :) Nothing shatters like 54% more area damage :)
