[3.17] Wallach's Hierophant Freezing Pulse Totems (No Further Updates)

Are you guys still using Cold Conduction Medium Jewel in this build in the top-left cluster? I can't find this jewel anywhere in trade, its like it doesn't exist anymore.

Thank you!

Say. I have been following this guide right now. I am currently at the stage where I have a 5 link but miscolored 6 socket Soul Mantle. I have a subpar Viridi's veil and pretty good Rares overall and only 1 level away from my Virile Vermillion Magic ring.

Now, I have about 2 Ex, so I was wondering what should I try to upgrade first? The 6 link? Or should I go for a 50C+ Magic Wands? Or something else perhaps?

If I were you, I'd put perhaps 10c into each of 2 wands, then get Coward's Legacy (& Pain Attunement/Panicked flasked). It's also worth getting some 10c gloves with damage against chilled, and 10c on some 30% movemenet speed boots. Then you can get a couple of damage flasks - a diamond and a silver flask will be fine.

You're missing essence worm too, and don't need Sanctum of Thought passive anymore.

After that, I'd save for the 6 link.

So it feels like cold conduction is universally good, adding a source of shock easily, and pairing with the great astonishing affliction.

That said, what is the opinion of sleepless sentries ('perma' onslaught) vs a curse cluster with unnerve on it?

Once you get double curse, the curse cluster is the best by far (with Wish for Death too). I found it good enough to take as my second even with a single curse.

Sleepless sentries/ancestral echo is perfectly decent though. I find it a bit less than perma-onslaught as it wears off so quickly, but it's certainly mostly-onslaught.

I've been using streamlined/repeater as my 4th, but perhaps there's a crit cluster that's worthwhile instead. All it's really doing is giving some damage and projectile speed. Those are much cheaper options for a while.

- It's 100% worth getting two good medium cluster jewels. Four is even better.

Speaking of cluster jewels, can I check if you're using all 3 notables on your large cluster? or just as 5 points pathing to med clusters?

I'm using them all. Should I not be?

What's the next good upgrade for me? I'm thinking about a good 3 nodes large cluster, but a good one costs more than 12 ex, and gives incomparably less dps. I have a medium cluster on Sleepless Sentries + Ancestral Echo, but I don't have enough points (so far 93 level). I think it is worth doing this together with the purchase of Bottled Faith (or which flask to put instead of the silver one?).
But maybe something else is worth changing? Wands etc, except annoit. RN i have ~15ex
