Question regarding the gem setups:
Is the list already sorted by priority? So left ones highest priority right ones last ones to pick up?

What are the pro/cons of using cyclone or consecrate?

You can check out FAQ for priority of gems.

Cyclone has better single target while Consecrated has better clearing speed.

sorry wrong thread

Hi!

- What is more important, geting a high dps/attack speed roll on ngamahu or 6 instead of 5 sockets?

good rolled 6 sockets are starting at 2 ex , good rolled 5 sockets are waaaayy cheaper ^^
it is a big deal?


- are there any big downsides on vaal pact? Shouldve make the spec more tanky i think?

You will want pdps at 410+. Prioritize attack speed (at least 11% recommended on the axe) over damage as the build scales better with more attack speed.

At the start of the league, I will just get the cheapest Ngamahu. The price will drop below 50 chaos for a well rolled axe within a week or 2.

You can always try your luck to roll 6 sockets. ;)

Vaal Pact main disadvantage will be no regen. Otherwise it is very good for Slayer ascendancy.

I was thinking if I use weapon/cyclone in ignite gem set or without elemental focus, use aof in passive tree and wear yoke of suffering: Will my fire damage shock enemies for more damage?

Can Champion be used over Slayer if you just follow the non-EO stuff? It seems EO might be too expensive to gear for as a starter

So I'm currently playing this build with Consecrated path and while I'm really enjoying it I'm also running into damage issues in maps. I'm not really sure how to scale the damage with this build.

Any recommendations and/or direction would be great. I know I need a 6-link. I'm trying to 6-link a Bronn's Lithe but haven't had any luck yet.

I just can't make up my mind between Belly of the Beast or Carcass Jack. Carcass just seems so good, but gives less life compared to Belly as well as not having armor and being annoying to get good sockets
On the other hand switching from Bronn's to Belly makes me lose like 20% DPS cyclone DPS

sorry for asking all that small questions , i hope its okay :)

- when i stop using cyclone for a half second to use my enduring cry , the life leech will continue at the same rate right?
So there is no defensive downside of using the cry?

it is possible to automate the enduring cry beside the expensive jewel? maybe add a low level enduring cry to the cwdt 1 ,IC 3 and duration links?

- you suggest a bleed heal potion for uber lab, but as a slayer i am generaly bleed immune or is the trap bleed different?

- avatar of fire and taste of hate potion:
so is the physical converted to cold and afterwards converted to fire ( due to avatar )?

- is warriors blood a bad ideea? Even after picking sancetity ( 1% life reg ) im still droping a bit when using blood rage.

- i bought a abys jewel with life , fire damage to attacks and 13% increased Damage over Time while wielding a Two Handed Weapon.
U wrote damage over time is only good when using the ignite skill tree. what exacty does that mean? i am using combustion support in my axe.

When there are alot of traps that bleed there is often nothing to leech on. You either go thru more or less carefully or faceroll with the suggested potion.
