Wither is mostly used for single target, so AoE isn't beneficial, while increased duration allows you to generate more simultaneous stacks.

So then this must be a mistake (you probably meant duration not aoe, as the optional fourth link)? Quoted from your original post:

• Wither - Spell Totem - Faster Casting to help kill bosses, and the occasional tankier blue/rare or high chaos resistance mob, Wither totem is your friend. Increased AoE could be added as the fourth link, but is not required.

Either one works. Say you're running a T14 increased monster life map. You're gonna be dropping a lot more wither totems even for white golems, so aoe would help out there. But yeah, duration's the better option, generally, as the focus is primarily for single target dps boosting.

Will edit. Thanks for pointing that out.

If the links are available I like Spell Totem - Wither - Faster Casting - Increased Duration

Tie game, btw.

*dramatic music*

Not sure if I have another 40/40 in me for this league.

I did the math on it, and not accounting for the possibility of dropping the maps required to complete the challenges. For the end-game grinds, (roughly (30 Core * 18-25c) + (30 Dark Forest * 17-22c) = 1050-1410 chaos, or 16ish - 21 ish ex. Being able to do those twinned (could probably do Dark Forest twinned) would chip some of them off but eh.

Also doesn't factor in pushing for the Warbands.

I got the portal. I'm happy enough with that for now. I have 40 or so Offerings, so maybe if those runs end up being profitable I'll push for full completion.

Regarding quality on gems, what is the order of effectivness when GCP'ing them?

Also, can you give an estimate on how much a lvl 4 empower would increase damage compared to 3? I'm sitting at 21.6k damage with everything up right now, no quality on any gems.

a) CA comes first. The AoE directly impacts pack clear speed for most situations. All the other damage gems have no order, they're all 10% increases, so the decision comes down to whether you want to buff your IIR, or your dps.

Other than the CA gem itself, I would just 20% recipe everything else.

b) About 2k tooltip, unbuffed (no charges, no golem), depending on your tree/jewels.

Totally forgot about 20% recipe, I did that last league I played and will do so again, thanks.
