I slotted faster attacks along with Ewar's and Gloomfang. It is pretty awesome when tailwind kicks in, and you start machinegunning mobs with SST and it chains all over the screen throwing shard projectiles everywhere.

Faster Attacks is less damage than any of the gems i have in the 6l of the build. Why? First of all it just buffs attack speed, and even though you attack faster you are doing not as much damage as a solid 40% increased damage gem. Secondly = with enough attack speed on the tree and especially with tailwind up, attack speed is not really a problem. You need to hit harder to kill fat mobs. Hitting more often = depleting mana faster as well :)

Yeah, I only have a 5 link right now, and am only in white maps, I will switch it out with cold o fire when things start getting rough.

Also thanks for the advice! I am running low on mana on boss fights.

Using Clarity is not a bad option btw. Of cause you won't be able to run Blasphemy and hatred with clarity, but if killing speed is not an issue then just run Clarity for smoothness and QoL.

I may try that. I'm not running blasphemy, I do curse on hit with whirling blades, and run hatred and herald of ash.

Vaal Clarity, is better than clarity.

That 8 seconds of no mana use on skills, allows you to spam when you need too. Then you will regen some back.

Cool! I will try it out. Thanks! Also, I found it is better to slot elemental focus before cold to fire, it gives more damage, and the herald of ash still ignites everything.

UPDATE 09/03/2018: Filled all link slots. Added Vaal Lightning Trap as well as tricky setup with CWDT Ice Spear to keep up the buff of Elemental Overload (for ELE version only). Added Enlighten for auras, this way we can have over 150 free mana to spam Shield even with insane Attack Speed and Tailwind Buffs. Switched to ELE on Attacks Steel Rings as they give slightly more DPS that flat phys rings (for ELE build). Dropped Obscurantis for Starkonja with +40 damage enchant. This is WAY MORE realistic because getting Obscurantis with Shield enchant is nearly impossible. Almost noone enchants Obscurantis, but it's still GG for damage if you ever find it.
Dropped Shield Charge for Whirling Blades.
Also i went with attack speed over projectile damage very early on the way Ballistic Mastery. A little more DPS and more speed for Whirling Blades.
Inserted magic Onslaught flask.
I also added Empower to a 4l setup with Golem and Protector, this is more towards a very end-game setup.
Overall everything is done here and what is left is mostly min-maxing rings, boots, resists and such. The best DPS increase would be crafting lvl84 shield with Essence of Dread. This is it. For a non-crit build reaching 1.4 million seems good TBH.

It's pretty tricky to get Elemental Overload with no crit chance at all. At first i just ran "as is" and EO procced very seldom. Then i added Diamond flask and managed to get EO all the time. But it's wasting a flask slot after all just for the EO, since we have no crit multiplier. So i started looking for a way to perform a crit strike and remembered the old trick from the day of 3-4 years ago when i played FLame Totem and used manually casted Ice Spear to get power charges. :) It still works! But we don't have to cast it at all since i just filled it into CWDT setup. Now with this trick we have EO buff all the time without pressing a single button and with literally zero crit chance :)

Can anybody tell me what order to take the ascendancy nodes? I was going to do: Fast and Deadly -> Far Shot -> Richochet -> Gathering winds.

Looking at some of the posts here though it seems like I should swith Fast and Deadly with Gathering winds though?

Far Shot-> Gathering Winds-> Richochet->fast and deadly.

Hey guys, it is said that elemental build has 3 chains. What i see is 1 chain from Ewar's Mirage sword, 2nd from Ascendancy and i can not find the 3rd source of additional chain. Can you guide me to it please?

EDIT: sorry i found it - from Gloomfang lvl 77 amulet. costs 2c+ in hardcore bestiary

EDIT #2: Why do we take Gathering Winds instead of Ricochet as 2nd ascendancy skill? Yeah it gives 1k eva+mov speed, but Ricochet gives us more AOE that is so desirable to have from early on?
