For those of you leveling with Flame Wall, what do you think about temporarily speccing into Holy Fire or Breath of Flames until the transition to VD/DD?

It might also make sense to take Commander of Darkness at normal lab, since Corpse Pact and Plaguebringer won't be doing much for you until the swapover.

I'm a fan of respeccing 10-15 points as needed. Should be fine. Also I would take commander first at league start anyway for the resists.

I was trying to test this on stream but my ISP decided to do "developments" in my area. Rip.

Hi,

i'm considering this and your cremation build as a league starter. I prefer tankiness and bosskilling abilities over clearspeed, what is probably the better choice in this regard? And gow do both builds scale with further investments?

Both builds scale very well with investment.

The VD build will have more DPS

Cremation Archmage will be tankier.

Man, I love this. I've been super lazy this league and haven't looked into builds/new mechanics/anything... and then this ascends from on high and presents me with everything I've ever wanted in a build. Thanks!

Is Scold's version strictly worse now? I loved the fact you could off-screen stuff w/o hitting.

It seems to still work on standard, but hard to guess how would it scale end game with so much investment in sustain... I'd say CoC version has more points to funnel into dps not having to cover for the self dmg?

Hello, thank you for the build. I'm planning to league start with this but
the levelling tree PoB from the first page is showing nothing in my PoB. not even a skill gems or items or was it my mistake?

This should give you an idea on how to progress the tree while leveling as spellslinger.

also, can we run reflect map in this build ? since cyclone deals physical dmg and vd deals spell dmg. which type of dmg are we dealing in this case?
sry if a lot of question. I've never played cyclone or VD before.

It's literally just for the tree because I know I'll get asked 1000 times for one :P. I'm not one to typically micromanage leveling n such so I mostly just give a tree to follow and some tips n tricks. I'm happy to answer questions here and on stream though.

Yup, unfortunately the Scold's Version ends up just not dealing good damage or not being tanky at all. And then there's just so much hassle with sustaining Scold's damage and mana on cyclone etc....This version is a lot cleaner in how it's put together.

Since we are dealing a ton of fire damage and some phy damage, i wouldnt do any kind of reflect map, be it elemental or phy based.

You could spec into Exposure Tolerance and wear a Sybil's ring to make you immune to elemental reflect though.

Edit:
True, Exposure isnt needed, just Yugul pantheon... why do i always forget the pantheon stuff?!

More specifically, just switch to soul of Yugul pantheon and use Sibyl's Lament (no passive respec this way)
