I can't speak specifically to FPS, but...

Stygian doesn't hurt my eyes to looks at. Lmao

Void is basically invisible (don't have it myself though)

Some thoughts on the passive tree:

I've currently taken heart of flame. It gives pretty good damage per point, and some es leech (although I doubt that'll matter very much once I have an es on hit watchers eye). I'm not sure if the point cost to get it will be too prohibitive on taking life/es nodes though.

Arcane focus seems like very solid ehp per point.

I couldn't fit in flesh and stone and still be able to cast flame dash with my gear, so I put intuitive leap in the witch jewel slot, and spent the net 2 passive points you gain on Prodigal Perfection and Discord Artisan. This freed up enough mana to use flame dash.

However, the above creates issues fitting in watcher's eye if you go for replica reckless defense. It means you have to spend quite a few points pathing to another jewel socket (probably the shadow one, since it gives some much needed dex), however one thing I was consdering is going for a second set of clusters jewels instead of going into the shadow area, which would allow easy access to a jewel socket for watchers eye whilst keeping intuitive leap. Thoughts on this?

Finally, what do you think about life vs es for small cluster? With doryani's jewel it makes sense to me to keep the values as close as possible, but since our es is a lot lower than our life the % increase would probably be more effective on life?

I actually had a lot of these thoughts initially. Intuitive leap looks really good in the witch slot...until you realize you don't have enough jewel sockets to run all of the unique jewels that we want to.

As for a second cluster, while this build *desperately* wants one, I just can't justify skipping the shadow side of the tree to do so. I always ended up on less damage/life when I was trying this myself.

Also, regarding scaling life vs ES

Life will *always* be better than ES for us because 30% of life that we get is added as extra ES. Basically % increases to ES are far less effective than life nodes. Arcane Focus is really not that great for total eHP. Life nodes are always better. Same thing regarding ES small clusters, you are better off with life as it's scaling both.

That said, regarding life+ES, you just need to make sure life is greater than ES for Corrupted Soul considerations.

Having a blast with the build, cleaning up t14-15 maps atm without a problem. Picked up a regular Duskdawn and Martyr of Innocence both and Duskdawn feels much better to me, seems clear is quite a lot more fluid.

Timeless jewels are finally coming down in price some but doesn't seem like a worthwhile purchase until I can buy in tandem with a watchers to get ES on hit.

I seen someone (Maybe you) earlier mention that culling strike could be leveled up along with combustion, I see in your current build you have leveled it up but the POB shows level 1, in case you didn't see that.
