Love the build, done it before the update and still doing it, just wondering do you really need the mana from Revelry? I'm thinking about getting one or two in the Essence Sap for mana leech, still have Slitherpinch and heve been wanting to switch it out. Also for cwdt I've been running a EK with blind and punishment, which looks pretty cool with its changes.

In playing some last night I definitely went OOM against bosses and beefier enemies. I need to see if a higher mana leech ring will do the trick otherwise I might need a little more in mana via jewels or nodes.

A little mana regen goes a long way. I crafted some mana regen onto a ring and it really improved things -- I also ditched the old flask I was using that stole mana... oops. I specced into the 0.2% mana leech in the ranger area as well and have zero issues sustaining now.

Well if it really comes to that isn't just casting the curse way faster and easier to target the exact monster that you want cursed... and from afar on top of that

I don't think so, since we're not going for faster cast speed. The cyclone would cast it immediately and on the target you hit. And if you have enemies near you and need a curse, you'll probably get interrupted if you try to cast. Plus Cyclone's great for situations if you're stuck or without frenzy charges. Honestly it has just as much utility as a skill like leap slam or whirling blades.

Just got into Merciless A1 and is L61. This build flattens everything!

Upgraded the equipment a bit :-p

Main problem I ran into in Merciless was maxing resists while having enough intelligence. I had to take a +30 INT node to do that.

From your section about the Frenzy skill...
Don't link it to Multistrike - you'll hit three times but you'll get only 1 frenzy charge!

I don't think this is correct. I've just tested it several times, and if your target survives a hit, you'll get a charge for the next hit as well. If the target doesn't survive the first hit (and there is no more targets in range), then you only get one charge.

Another thing... Since I had a gem slot to spare, I tried this combination.

Forget the HoA, but the other three fit well together I think.

With Increased Duration, the Blood Rage doesn't time out so often, and the Vaal Double Strike does a decent amount of Damage in itself, but more importantly the double lasts for 8+ seconds which is actually useful both for the damage and for the diversion.

Is it alright to take survivalist instead of herbalism?
