Very fun build indeed.

I'm struggling against Metamorph bosses and some map bosses who don't deal much projectile damage.

I don't pop the CWDT unless i go melee, so i don't have corpses to VD from.

This build has two mandatory uniques, and you are missing one )

Still, you can't cyclone with 118 mana left.

With the Mana pot it's easy, but you can't refill the mana pot on a single boss with no ads

Am i missing something ?

is this doable in a ssf environment? how would you recommend going about farming a scolds bridle since theres no torment zana mod this league?

-- Also, before gaining it, is cwc cyclone vd good enough before the bridle sacrificing a gem socket for desecrate?

You can use Torment Scarab but ofc in SSF that might take quite a while.
I can't recommend CWC before Scold's, I actually did it this league, because I tried it last league and it seemed fine, but with the buffed bosses hp it's not. (I made the additional mistake of doing every single metamorph in Acts already, which wa sjust a huge grind lol)

I love this build, it is heckin fun. A bit risky so far since I'm only lvl 75 with 3k life and 2900 ES, but still pretty damn tanky. I managed to craft a chest with 500 ES and 25% increased effect of offerings to offset the Leash of Oblation, but I'm still not sure the belt is worth it. Having all 3 offerings is nice, but you sacrifice valuable gem slots and more importantly a Stygian. It really pressured the rest of my gear slots to get resists so I'm missing out on a few good suffixes like damage, chaos res, and a curse.

It does pressure the other slots. As for sockets, it's basically a swap for AG+Spectre+MS slot. For now I'm dropping those until I can make a beefy boi AG that doesn't immediately die to T16 Conquerors. Haha.

I am highly considering swapping Discipline for Purity of Elements with the Watcher's Eye mod that gives chaos res (at least until I can afford an ES on hit eye). I did this on my HC character last league. Lose 700 or so ES but that basically completely takes care of any resist problems. Something to consider at least.

I have 74/47 Block with Bone Offering and 483 Life recovered on block. It's very hard for me to give that up. :)

But like you said, it does stretch gear slots especially for chaos res.

If I were to replace it, it would be with a hunter belt with "gain a flask charge on crit" theoretically this would keep up topped off on our flasks in prolonged fights since even ball lightning crits a lot.

Warlord Belts can roll (33–39) to (52–55) added Fire Damage against Burning Enemies. That's a consideration.

Or use those new exalts on a stygian belt and pray XD

So I took a couple hours (and a bit of currency) shopping to sort out my gear and managed to pull it off. I not only kept the Leash of Oblation but managed to squeeze in the spider aspect and Fenumus' boots and end up with 65% chaos res (capped with Atziri's Promise). My fire and cold resists aren't capped at a standstill but spirit offering fixes that. Even with all of this, I think I'll have to give up on AG for now, or maybe permanently since this league is super rippy. Now all I need is for the game to let me 6L, I've invested 4ex into fusings and no luck x.x Used it all up last league I guess.

How do you activate 4 auras? I have only aspect of spider and discipline active and have 60% reserved already.
