1. how the hell do you guys have enough movement speed without using The stampede boots? :o
2. at what point is it worth dropping belt for rares?

I feel like Im stuck in uniques and see no upgrading paths T_T



Singular Flask works really well. Plus onslaught from Cinder.



These are also INSANELY fast compared to Stampedes.

As for dropping Leash for a rare......That's up to you. leash means bone offering so it's a purely defensive choice. You can drop it whenever you want if you don't care about the block from bone offering. I happen to like being mostly unkillable. :P

first, as a guild member has said it: this build sparks joy ^^
all the others hat it :P

a Question to the gear you are wearing. Do i see it correctly, that you have no Resistances whatsoever?


I have resists....



In those 3 places. Also 18% from Spirit offering and 12% from Endurance charges. And a pair of res jewels. I'm capped :P
thanks :)
I dont know where to go with my char atm.. Chest upgrade is exalts away, boots with tailwind and elusive is exalts away, WE jewel for es gain on hit is exalts away.. I feel like I lack single target damage in red maps :3
spamming jun to get ES from 10% life mod atm..
Is it good to have energy shield leech node before getting WE jewel?

Can anyone take a look? <3
a bit hard to see upgrade paths with so many uniques ;P

And the staff is finished. 4 divines to perfection! :D

Also, Path Of Exile Builds made a video guide for this build. It's a very simplified version but will probably be very helpful to newer players. I don't 100% agree with all of his choices but I don't think any of them are bad either and it's very easy to follow (compared to reading a block of text).

Thinking about adding it to the OP as he does give proper credit to this guide as his information source. What do you all think?


Dope staff !!


BTW good job being the first build with the 3 indicators full on Path of Exile build channel !!


Thanks! I'm super stoked about getting it finished. Props to the folks who helped along the way too!

And yeah! I saw that! I love it. :3

Hello all,
Fun build but I feel like lack damage. Below is my gear. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Working on getting better rings and possibly an amulet.
I'm also only lvl 75 with no jewels

Welp, level your combustion support in CWDT setup. Its debuff is stronger the higher the level. :)

Assassin's Mark in CWDT with Desecrate + Spell Cascde (move Spirit Offering Elsewhere) is a nice damage boost that you can do for free basically. For now I would drop the ball lightning for it until you have some ES or Life recovered on hit.

Also level up the Bone offering and CWDT that it's linked to. It's a duration skill and levels matter a lot for it.

Spec out of Ele Overload. Now that you've started taking some Crit Nodes you will deal more damage without it. And then, yeah, fill out the rest of the crit on the tree. You'll get there.

Get a Diamond Flask and an Atziri's Promise. Very nice DPS boost with these and easy to obtain.

Replace Inspiration with Awakened Fire Pen (40-45c right now)

Start with those things. :)

Which gem should I link if I want to self cast Volatile Dead? Thanks.
Also, this build cannot do Elemental Reflect map, right? I just want to make sure that I avoid that mod.


Yea don't do Ele reflect without the sextant mod.

For self cast:

VD - Spell Echo (or Spell Cascade, either works) - Intensify - Conc Effect - Ele Focus - Awakened Fire Pen OR Controlled Destruction OR Arcane Surge.

Spell Echo VS cascade works very similarly in that you spend mana once for the CWDT proc and create 6 balls. It's a bit easier on the performance end of things and has a smaller "less damage" multiplier.


Thank you for the tips, they helped
working on getting an es on hit watchers eye

Is there a way to sustain mana without a flask?
would using 2x damage gained as mana rings do it?
I laugh at pooping dogs, just to see them get confused.

Hey gryph, random question prior to getting a cwc staff. Is awakened cwc better than non or does it break our cd timers by having a lower value?

Its not very expensive which is why i ask.

Also, what pantheon are you running with now? The pantheon section mentions some stuff but also has some AG references, so wanted to verify it's up to date with your 3.9 findings.

plenty of upgrades left

- 6L staff
- cinderswallow instead of energy leech in your chest 6L so you could put in ele focus
- not having spirit offering your spell cascade + desecrate is going to be weird since they won't necessarily trigger together
- corruptions on helm and possibly gloves (e.g. life on helm)
- depending on interests, offering chest + oblation belt is an upgrade
- es on hit watchers
- bottled faith flask
- i dont see much chaos res, so that could be better
- i dont see corrupted blood immunity, so could put that on a jewel
- rare cwc staff (prolly last upgrade tbh due to cost/benefit)
I decided to accept your challenge, Gryph, and it kinda worked !



Very happy right now. I decided to stick with T2 SpellDamage/PCoC because it was 3 exalts a try and it doesn't really matter that much hopefully.
Total it took me around 20ex I'd say, pretty lucky.
I alt spammed in the hope of finding +3 fire / PCoC, using some regals on nice stuff. When I saw lvl 20 CwC + mana on hit I used a regal (you never know) and it landed... +3 fire...
So I crafted prefixes can't be changed, scour. Craft a shitty prefix, slam. Not PCoC ? Craft prefixes can't be changed, scour, repeat. Managed to hit T2 PCoC on the 4th attempt and crafted quality for 6L and then multimod gg !
Time to go kick some ass !

Thoughts:

- Replace inspiration with fire pen (or awakened fire pen)
- no point in using stamped boots if they arent annoited. Fennumus + aspect of spider will be far better.
- offering chest isnt 25%. This means your offerings are still negative, should aim for 25% chest.
- staff isnt 6L, so missing out on wave of conviction
- i didnt see a watchers eye. either the regain mana with clarity or es on hit watchers would be nice upgrades. mana watchers is like 50c (im trying to sell mine and it isnt selling at that price...)
- not sure what weathered hunter is, but its likely much worse than charging offensive
- better atziri's flask, they arent expensive
- quartz flask is pretty meh for us, would be better with cinderswallow
- without clarity watchers, no point in having clarity, would be better with level 1 precision
- get an enlighten, level 3 is what we need but if too expensive, start levelling one yourself. We don't need any corrupted (lvl 4), so you'll get it eventually. You even have an open slot for it, so ez game.
- get a level 21 VD, we don't care about quality and iirc, lvl 21 vd isnt very expensive but is nice damage upgrade
- getting rings such that you can craft damage taken gained as mana on them is necessary for mana sustain (unless you have clarity mana watchers).
