Only way this can be better is if the movement speed is faster. Currently I have +35% ms, is there a way to get faster base speed?

- Hunter-influenced Amulet has a 7-10% movespeed prefix.
- Hunter- or Shaper-influenced Belt has a 6-10% movespeed during flask effect suffix
- Quick Getaway (Megalomaniac) has 5% movespeed, 25% crit chance, 5% attack speed
- Atziri's Reflection has 6% movespeed if you give up your rare shield.
- Precision (2 skill points from Retribution) gives 4% move speed, 5% attack speed, 20 dex
- Boots enchant from lab

After hitting 100 and 40/40 with another char, I decided to try something else than Vortex for once. As an old COC (back in 2014-2016)-player, this seemed like a good pick.
So far only pushed to 89 and all labs with Breachstones. Finished a few Simulacrums last night, and was surprised I could do them deathless with few issues on the bosses.
Cyclone gonna be cyclone, the random moments where you run into a invisible wall or corner that stops you is annoying but whadya gonna do.

I think it will be fun to minmax as well, but for now I'll hold onto the gear on my Occultist (borrowed some), and see if I can make it on the char to minmax.

Current gear

The helmet, boots and rings are borrowed from my Vortexer. I'll switch to Shaper's when I have the currency to upgrade further. I went for a reduced mana reserved shield over the Helm-enchant, and it works just fine. With reduced mana in tree you don't need Enlighten to run the 3 auras.

Next on list would be Awakened COC and Curse on hit :-)

Holy sh... that sceptre. How did you do it? I have been struggling very hard with getting something like that.

I was strugglich to buy a helmet with 300+ ES and one of the two mana reduction enchantments. Yesterday I found a rather good helmet (350 ES) with 40% increased Ball Lightning Damage enchantment. So I switched to the two minor nodes left of Sovereignty and I know believe, this combination is the way to go. You trade a little ES and a little damage from the Increased Aura Effects for a rather nice Damage Boost.

While I am not sure about this, I strongly feel there is a certain improvement to Noesys Skill Tree that is sort of a no brainer. The two small ES nodes next to Foresight are beaten by Influence and the single small node leading to it. We don't lose much ES because Discipline gets boosted; but on top we boost Zealotry and Wrath. In my case I lose around 30 ES and get close to 20.000 more damage per Ball.

Now I only need Kentish to come out of hiding and sell me that ring of his, and I'll finally sit at a respectable amount of ES. :D

I won't build characters anymore. As an average player, let me give you some feedback. Thank you NOesy - I played your 3rd league with your build - each one was inspirational - I think your guides are exemplary. Rather, I am a humanist, I can not play alone, I have certainly learned a lot, the creation section is very interesting, although this gambling definitely affects my mood.
-build very expensive, although it was raining golden, so I don't know in the end.
- fully armed is very effective.
-Fatal fight with Sirus, one big minus.
The game was a pleasure.

I find no reason to ex slam after multimod. I would craft cannot roll attack modifiers and slam. After you hit something good, multimod the two mods you mentioned.
If you are broke now, just multimod and use it without ex slam.

I understand that this build is a bit too expensive and not very good at doing Sirus. Probably I opted for damage too much this time because I was frustrated by the tankiness of delirium monsters. Next league, I would definitely try more tanky build, unless new league monsters are even more tanky.
