Hi, would like some advice in where to go in upgrading the build from where I'm at. Starting to plateau in DPS and survivability. I've killed A8 Sirus, but not deathless. Killed uber elder, but not deathless. Not entirely sure if it's a skill thing or if I'm lacking defenses. Here are some of my own observations, would like to know if I'm correct, how to best go about fixing them, and what else I can do.

- ES sustain is unreliable without the Fenumus boots. Not keen on spending money on an ES on hit watcher's eye right now.
- Don't have a Bottled Faith. With the 12ex~ price, would like to hold off on that if possible.
- Chaos res is kinda low. Finding it difficult to fix that while keeping other resists capped without dropping multiple exalts on new jewelry. The need for some dex on them makes it even more challenging.
- Not sure if this is the best combination of auras. Would like to try and fit zealotry, but taking out aspect of the spider makes my ES sustain unreliable, like mentioned before.
- I really cannot tell the difference with the stone golem summoned or not summoned, so I feel like it's a wasted slot right now.
- Not sure what to put in my 4th gloves socket, so I just threw in a portal gem I got into the cwdt link for the memes.
- Have had trouble getting curse on hit gloves/helm enchants/corrupts due to their scarcity and price

Here's the POB: https://pastebin.com/9hNRYew8

Alright, lots to take in here. let's see...

6l your staff. This will let you add Culling Strike to CWDT spells (10% more damage)

Your auras are scattered into whatever free sockets you have and should be consolidated into 1 4L with enlighten. Clarity can go into your ring.

Zealotry is probably better than Anger if you're not using a specific watcher's eye with anger mods.

See below:

Try These Links

5/6L
CWDT - Ball Lightning - Purifying Flame - Wave of Conviction - Combustion - Culling Strike (6th link)
Toss portal into the 6th socket until you get 6L.

4L
CWDT - Desecrate - Spell Cascade - Assassin's Mark (or Enfeeble if you prefer)

4L
Discipline - Herald of Ash - Anger/Zealotry - Enlighten

2L
Flame Dash - Arcane Surge (level 10)

2L
CWDT (level 20-21) - Bone Offering (Match level to CWDT)

Unset ring: Clarity

6L Chest, stay the same.

thread of Hope can be used (Large Radius) in templar socket to hit all the major noteables and save you a lot of points. I spent these going to the Shadow Life nodes and jewel socket. Incidentally, this gives a nice boost to dexterity just from going over there. Will help making ring upgrades easier.

Lastly, if you want to drop the fenumus boots, one option you have is to drop Leash of Oblation entirely. This'll add roughly 400 ES to max ES (+6 all res too) which is also added recovery. If you're able to sustain ES in hideout now, or close, this will put it over the top for sustaining. Also freeing up the belt slot makes resists a lot easier to manage. Stygian Vise for Jewel Socket can provide more life/es/res/damage as well.

And would free up two more sockets again. Most likely use for a High level curse on CWDT. Flammability for instance.

Hope this is helpful!

I cannot use Discipline, Herald of Ash, and Zealotry all at once with a level 3 enlighten. Even when disabling Aspect of the Spider. Checking POB with a level 4 enlighten, I'd still have to finish off the Sovereignty nodes to have enough mana.

On that note however, I assume someone saw my previous post here because I got a random whisper ingame form someone quitting the league who gifted me these.

However using them gives me mana problems, and I'm not sure the best way to fix that. Would fertile catalysts on rings with damage taken gained as mana solve it?

Enjoying build, but I lack currency for bottled crit))) and spell crit chest, so... It occured to me that, perhaps, using Desintegrator we are allready damaging ourselves, causing procks of cwdt setups. So... theoretically we could drop ourmandatory helmet which opens new possibilities of aquiring damage...

I love this build, but im kinda stuck between what to get next. Any expert wanna check my profile and give me some tips please. I get random 1 shot and i need a little more dmg. is the 6L martyr and watcher eye the only way? Just did a lvl 6 sirius without any issues.

@Gryphenprey

Could you update the skill tree in the guide please? Or maybe just add some notes about what you are experiencing with.
I'm asking because the "Current POB for 3.9" and "Passive Tree" sections contain different trees.

On a different note, which one would you recommend; Controlled Destruction Support or Awakened Fire Penetration? The "Supported Skills have 100% reduced Critical Strike Chance" is confusing me a bit.

Also, may I ask why aren't you using Golem Commander?

Because of the Intuitive Leap, its just a single skill point and it provides a flat 20% damage bonus plus another 20% if you have a Flame Golem.

Otherwise I'm really enjoying the build so far; haven't had any major issues, although I'm still figuring out how you have a 1000 more health and 2000 more ES then I do.
I'm not very lucky with the currency this season... I only saw a single Exalted since it started.

Hey im currently making this build and scratching my head a bit.

im using the pastebin for martyr of innocence (going the cheaper route befor i min max) and there is more skill gems then sockets.

so i refered to the gem section in the guide and it dosent specify gem levels anywhere? maybe i missed something idk. the gems in the gem section of the guide dosent match either paste bin and im not sure which to follow.

can someone please clarify what gems and where they go when using the cheaper Martyr pastebin.

eventually i will be min maxing this build i love VD
