Do you mind give us some thoughts on how do you feel about your Low life build compared to zzang's low life. The reason I am asking is because his build is very popular but it seems that he is doing a lot of things that you are advising against (things like don't fall for the spellslinger reduced mana reservation helmet enchant. He is also using frenzy skill gem). But his damage on POB looks a lot higher than yours?

I personally don't like this build he posted due to the fact that on sheet it shows a higher DPS in PoB. Things to take into account though, are the lack of Combustion Support, the lack of Fire Penetration, lack of a 2nd curse (PoB is glitched currently and doesn't show a 2nd curse with Woke CoH Support, you have to add the passives to Whispers of Doom for it to effect the sheet DPS).

Addtionally, his math is (and is not) right. The 52% cap on DPS recovery cannot be reached by boots and belt alone. You need to have the Helm Enchantment as well. IMO the build sacrifices too much for Zealotry and too much for Reduced Mana Reservation to not reduce the Fire Resistance of Enemies more. Simply put, I think that build's sheet does more, but the actual DPS is less.

There is 19% CDR on Spellslinger at lvl 20. 20% max on belts and 15% on boots.
So 52% is reachable using only boots and a belt?

My apologies, it is the 69% threshold I was thinking about, not the 52%.

All good! I tend to prefer your version because of the 69% CDR. 52% will look better on PoB but i don't think it does more damage in game, and in the end it's kinda easier to gear for with the CDR helm enchant so you can go for a more tanky setup if needed, etc...

Yeah, running numbers on just Woke Cascade on only VD, I am getting 6-8+ more VD Balls a second. Roughly .8-1.1 Mil more DPS per a second just off of VD Balls alone. That isn't even counting the increase on DD and WoC.

I really do think mine does far more DPS when you include the increase to % explosions as well from all the corpse eating skills. Really wish PoB could calculate VD/DD better from a true 100% combined DPS.

You can also potentially go for the next CDR treshold with some empower shenanigans and +gems in the chestpiece but it's difficult to know if it's better than let's say Awakened Fire Pen.
