Another BIG wall of text bois! GET READY!
" Hey, All gems should be lvld except CWDT / IC they are to be put at a lvl that you feel comfortable using. I prefer LvL 3 with lvl 5 IC for example. As well as Shield Charge not gaining any benefits above lvl 1. :) " Hey, I like the idea but you ll be forced to use Fevered Mind I'm afraid :/ Gear looks straight up solid! :) " Hey, It's not so much about the mana regen as it is about the actual mana pool. It's there to fully sustain the mitigating effect provided by the MoM. Personally I would prefer to have a Curse guaranteed up before I need to do anything hence the Blasphemy. Frenzy charges should help a bit with the cast speed :) " Hey, Cheers bro, though the thread may be old the guide is continuesly getting updated for each big patch and I continue to push to be a pillar of information in the PoE community. I do what I can, it's very nice to hear that my time invested is being appreciated <3 The bigger the threads get the more questions will start to pop back up, I was considering to do a FaQ section but honestly after 20 pages of questions it would simply be too long and since GGG is limiting the ammount of letters I can use in the guide itself it wouldn't fit. " A handful of pages back we got confirmed Shaper kill, will add it to the title tbh.. Before the buffs this build recieved a friend called "Killerdamage" killed Uber Atziri and we got confirmed kills of that as well since 3.0. :) " +1 " Hey, Don't worry about that, after 50 pages I expect people not to browse through them and as an earlier response in this post states, I can't make a FaQ covering everything due to thread size limitations. (WTB MORE ROOM!) With CoD you still want to take the MoM keystone for the sake of the nodes behind it. Also, the CoD provides you with 10% AS WELL as MoM which means you get 40% MoM effect :) Some approaches that I would prefer and will most likely tweak when I get time to play this build (Look at the strawpoll explanation further down in this response). Is to get the Whispers of Doom cluster north of Witch area to run 2x Curses to have both Enfeeble & Vulnerability which also allows for Corruption cluster for some more damage. Strawpoll explanation: Basically, I'm not a fulltime streamer, at least not yet. So after every build I play is finished I have a poll up for the viewers to decide which build to do next, in that list of options there are the builds I have yet to update the gameplay footage for, such as this build thread. " We don't use Endurance Charges and it is a very common missunderstanding of how IC works :) CWDT + IC will give you the base duration of 0.4 seconds + what ever increased duration you might have on the tree and or linked to it. This means you become practically immortal vs Porcupines exploding in your face as well as Bone Husks, which is the reason we use the setup despite not having Endurance Charges. I use this in almost every build I have :) " Hey, Absolutely! Your shield doesn't provide any spell damage. Amulet doesn't provide any spell damage. You have very low life on both rings & amulet though you got some nice chaos damage on one of your rings! Allelopathy should be 4L according to the guide to make the single target Blight addition a bit more stable. And the sockets in it should be as the guide describes as the sokcets used in the gloves affects the selfcasted Blight ability for single target. Sorting those details will help your damage output quiet significantly. " Tabula corrupted with +1 is generally my personal prefered way to play this build, though not everyone agrees as it's a matter of taste. " Also good points in this response @Reapeah. " I personally don't have a problem with it, though to avoid connecting stuns you can use the Brine King pantheon. If the first stun is the problem, look to get any of the stun immunity items and/or get Practical Application (north of witch) stun resistance :) " Your life is very low on your gear for the most parts. Outside of that a 6L will help you cover the highest tier of maps. I would look to sort higher life & maintaining good resistances and remove the unique ring. " Hey, Well... this is a Low Life version of the build and goes way beyond what the guide describes. So I'll give a few quick pointers after taking a brief look at it: Bated Breath can be changed for a proper crystal belt for better survival and/or Bisco's Leash for higher clear speed if you feel the need. Chaos DMG craft on rings are favourable. Sexy ass dagger <3 Shield can have plenty more ES as well as spell damage tbh without costing too much currency to arrange. I honestly wouldn't bother the duration cluster for the build on the tree, I'd much rather look towards dmg or more ES. Do Consider picking up both Heart & Soul as well as Cruel Preparation life nodes above the witch starter area and get the jewel slot for a Energy From Within Jewel in there for a big boost in ES. It does feel like you have around 6-7k ES with your current setup, possibly a bit more due to pressence? " It's not much and I had that idea first till I saw the prices... It simply isn't worth the investment. " +1 " Hey, My pleasure bro! 2nd Curse is the most favourable tweak, then it's more damage (compare with a proper dmg jewel and see which one you'd benefit from the most as Jewels are favourable as well after the 2nd curse).

Maybe someone can help clear this up for me, but why is Empower Lv 3 considered superior to Decay Support and Efficacy Support? From looking at the numbers alone, Decay gives 675 Chaos Damage per Second at level 20, and Empower LV 3 only gives an additional 307 Chaos Damage/Sec from level 20 to 22 Essence Drain. So wouldn't Decay be superior? All I can think of is that all the multipliers apply to ED and not the Decay. And if I'm going five link, should I link Efficacy first or Empower LV 3 if I already have the currency for it? Thanks!!!

" Did you max lvl gems? For me empower is the difference between 36k dmg/sec to 46k dmg/sec Last edited by NekoChester#1935 on Sep 11, 2017, 10:54:24 AM

Which gives higher dps, +1 tabula or non corrupt 6l cherrubims? By how much does the higher option increase dps?

I'm actually doing t15 maps and i must say i find Allelopathy / Blight pretty uselees right now. Bosses on this tier will not allow you to play static. You must move so you can't use it without a totem. Using a totem the damage burst is pretty small and i don't think is worth to use it there instead of wither. And for map clearing Blight has no use.
Blight was pretty nice until tier 13-14 maps and also with Apex/Atziri runs. But now i feel i could get more value with another gloves and a different gem setup. Anyone on my same situation? doing t15 and has begun to think to replace Allelopathy? Thoughts? Last edited by NekoChester#1935 on Sep 11, 2017, 11:04:44 AM

normal :d on auras |

" I haven't actually maxed the gems or tested this out, I just wanted to understand the mechanisms behind it. Part of it is that I have a 5L Cherrubim's with one red socket, and I'm wondering if I should keep it red and use Empower LV 3 or swap it out for Efficacy Support instead and save Empower for when it's 6-linked. Thoughts? |

" Depend on the user. For me, blight skill really help me to kill the boss faster and provided additional slow debuff when killing boss. In fact, blight skill really help me to do corrupt hydra map deathless. |

" Thanks for the reply. Do you use totem support with blight? Could you post your setup? Last edited by NekoChester#1935 on Sep 11, 2017, 12:18:50 PM

I have no idea about anything on ED builds, but why does the poeplanner only show like 3 pieces of equipment? The build looks amazing but I have no clue what to do gear wise.
