" Thanks, this makes sense now. I added a setup with CWDT lvl 1 and IC lvl 3 and it has saved my butt a lot already in T7 maps. I think my previous unique boots were also part of the problem since they had a mod "15% increased damage taken when on full energy shield" and this was just magnifying the burst damage. They were fast though, 20% speed boost when on full ES (plus the intrinsic 20% boost for a total of 40%). Good for leveling, but bad for end game. New boots are only 30%, but give more life and resists. Now I need to craft myself a decent chest armor instead of the tabula. Also, I understand I can get a Breath of the Council through prophecies. How hard is this to do? Last edited by RedRover57#6914 on Feb 8, 2018, 3:26:39 PM

" Hard. You have to get and complete all 5 of the Plaguemaw prophecies in order, then kill Eber in a Crystal Ore map and it's a rare drop from him. Alternatively you can buy the Plaguemaw 5 prophecy for about 10 chaos each which makes it expensive but easier. |

So, maybe i did something stupid :P
I bought these two items: After i bought them i realised it's hard to get the right colors. I need 3 red 1 blue on the helm and 4 blue on the boots :/ I guess the only/best way is with Voricis artisan bench? I have him at around lvl 5.5 and at lvl 6 you can craft at least 3 of one color. |

" I think it has potential as a late-game variation of the main build at a cheaper cost than variations like switching to a +3 staff. However the "two curse-aura" use that most people would expect is not what I would recommend. Here's the non-recommended option: Two curse-auras
Spoiler
It would be easy enough to drop Clarity for Despair and thus get both Enfeeble and Despair running as curse-auras on the Blasphemy setup. But since we normally get a Despair aura from Witchfire's Stibnite this is more of a quality of life improvement. You'd still want to use Witchfire's for the DoT buff, so it's not like you would drop it. And it's a flask, so do you really need the extra flask slot at the cost of Clarity (which is itself a quality of life improvement)?
Comparing damage, a 21/20 Despair gem would be marginally better than the 21/0 you get from Witchfire's, but it's not a huge gain (10% DoT). And the 30-40% increased DoT from Impresence is more damage in that slot than any non-crafted/shaper amulet, but you can get a relatively cheap ammy with 20%+ spell damage and more life than Impresence plus mana or resists. Best in slot would be an envy crafted amulet with dual spell damage and chaos damage or a shaper amulet with spell damage and 1% increased damage per intelligence. Both of those combos would have a higher damage buff than Impresence plus life/mana/resists. The chaos resistance and Maddening Presence attributes don't really contribute much in my experience. So the end result is a slight uptick in damage and a loss of life/mana/resists at the cost of 1+ exalts for Impresence. As you can see this really doesn't warrant the cost. There are easier ways to trade damage for life. Instead, I think the following could be really strong: One curse-aura
Spoiler
You could drop Clarity and Enfeeble and run just Blasphemy and Despair with 0 Mana reserved. This would open up two options:
1. Get a Cloak of Defiance and have an additional 10% damage mitigation without having to worry about your mana pool or use Grand Spectrum jewels. You still lose the "+1 to skill gems" you'd normally get on the body armour, but this could be counteracted by using a combination of a Clear Mind jewel (40-60% spell damage), rare two and three stat damage jewels (20-40% damage each plus life%/mana%/resists) and dropping mana nodes in the passive tree in exchange for additional jewel slots. A 6 link CoD is expensive, and the Impresence isn't cheap, but the rest can be had for a few chaos. 2. Keep the +1 Tabula and do all of the passive/jewel improvements (drop mana nodes for life/jewel slots, use Clear Minds and damage jewels). With 0 Mana reserved and not taking CoD you could potentially also grab the "Method to the Madness" wheel for a major damage boost. All of this would provide a huge damage boost to the build at the cost of the Enfeeble curse. You'll also have an open gem slot to fill where Enfeeble used to be. I'd suggest a minion of some sort like a golem or even Vaal Summon Skeleton, making boss fights significantly easier. None of this is expensive, so you'd just have the cost of the Impresence. So the end result of the "one curse-aura" option is a potentially large boost to damage and a moderate hit to survivability (due to the loss of Enfeeble) that you could mitigate entirely by using CoD or partially via additional life in the passive tree and a minion gem.

" Awesome to hear bro! I think impresence can be a pretty nice addition though I prefer a rare one imo. Despair comes from Witchfire Brew flask these days! " I'm so happy to read these comments from time to time, I'm glad my helped worked out! :) " Hey, Common missunderstanding of the function behind IC, it only increases the duration based of Endurance charges, but will still proc and function without it, though for a shorter time which is enough to cover you from Porcupines and/or Bone Husks :) " Hey, That is correct. Though, do take a look at the "average cost" of chromes for that in the calculator, if it's super high I would recommend using the jeweller trick to sort it instead! " Awesome to hear bro :) I would start with a +1 Tabula Rasa unless you're not capped on resistances. ---------------- @Kevinbrightblade: Thank you for helping out in the thread! <3 " Hey, I would recommend using the Jeweller trick: https://youtu.be/NE-DX_5uIe0 -------------------- @Kevinbrightblade: Since I appreciate when other people of our community is helping people out in my threads I'll go ahead and repeat my gratitude :) <3 Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub
