Hey Gryph, loving the build so far. Was able to do AL8 Sirus deathless with it (although a bit slower than I would like).
Question: I'm seeing a lot of necro cremation-archmages on PoE Ninja using Cremation - Archmage - Ele focus - Intensify - Controlled Destruction / Pinpoint / Lightning Penetration. Do you have an opinion on which one would be better to use as the 6th link? Maybe even a different combination of the last four listed gems for the 5th and 6th link?
Thanks!
I've not been a fan of Intensify just because I don't like have less AOE for my damage and I don't really stop moving much. But that's me, definitely still perfectly fine to use it.
Right now I have:
Cremation - Archmage - Ele Focus - GMP - Pinpoint - Ele Pen (Chest 6th Link)
This setup works fine for me but I can see dropping GMP for another damage gem since we have Pinpoint now.

I think if we use Pinpoint, we can use Intensify also? That's what I've been seeing before league start. Intensify-Pinpoint combo to double dip on Intensify stacks. I'm not sure though because I also stutter step a lot.

I mean yeah the double dip is great for damage, but it's not like you're getting anything *extra* by using both unless you get more max intensitty--which is an option.
My biggest problem with intensify has always been the AOE loss and the fact that I am not always getting full intensity bonus. At least with Pinpoint I am getting projectiles OR damage, which is always a nice boost. It's why GMP was used before Pinpoint.
Anyone having issues with chaos damage? I basically almost always die out to poison guy or caustic ground. Usually I don't have to bother with chaos res, but is it needed for this build?
Playing around with the tree, not sure what's up. I feel like I should be a bit tankier.

Cloak of Defiance and the Clarity watcher's eye with 10% of damage taken from mana before life mod would go a long way for tankiness. We also lost 9% block with offering nerfs, so keep that in mind as well.
Wanted Doryani or Destruction but Prismatic can be kinda usefull with all those uniques we gonna use.
I wonder if its worth to slam it with Leo exalt. Could third skill destroy somehow the node order if I would get nothing interesting for me?

Well, with only two notables you're going to have to go to the back for one of them anyways, so certainly worth leo slamming imo.

I found a very cheap megalomaniac with doryani which Im using. As a tio if you dont get it on leo slam (you cant brick it, but adding a random third notable would be a major benefit as youll save points with the pathing)
im playing a variation of this build right now and enjoying it a lot except sirus gives me some issues. i feel like i can never keep intensify stacks up on him and the damage seems pretty subpar in that fight.
do you swap out intensify for something else on sirus?

This is exactly the reason I do not use Intensify. It sucks VS mobile bosses bc you lose AOE to hit them and/or have to move a lot and lose the damage boost.
