Not gonna lie, I'm hesitant to swap over to this because I'm already struggling with defenses and your passive trees have like 0 defensive nodes. Are you just melting everything? I'm in maps and it's rough out here for blood mage

here's my issue with bonestorm and power charge generating. i also wrote this on my posts.
"i'm tryin to generate power charges using bonestorm skill and voll's protector equipped. the armor says 25% chance to gain a power charge on critical hit. the skill says it has maximum of 20 projectiles per cast and since it's tagged as sustained skill each projectile have their own crit roll and counts as individual hits. this should mean i can generate more than 1 power charge per cast if i hit critical with some of the projectiles and they roll the %25 chance of generating power charge. and i know i'm hitting most of it as critical cuz i'm using malice and i have decent crit chance. i played couple of hours with this setup and i NEVER generated more than 1 power charge per one bonestorm cast (20 projectiles most of it is crit). i think there's something wrong here if i'm wrong please enlighten me or look into this and fix it asap pls tysm."
am i the only one who noticed this?
I noticed this with Redflare Conduit as well, presumably each are capped at 1 charge per skill use for whatever reason. Sad but that's how it is, for now at least.

Try to use profane ritual instead, maybe with the spell cascade

Yeah, I noticed it, that is why I was using Redflare until recently. This limit entirely removes its downside making it very good.

I was using own Bonestorm/BoneCage build in T10-T12 maps.
Yesterday i modified it slightly:
1. Got Frenzy charges from Combat Frenzy with support + Conversion to Power Charges big node.
2. I clear maps with Bone Cage + Spell Cascade + Astral Projection + Arcane Surge + Lifedrain.
3. I have around 18-20k dps with BoneCage which is amazing on maps. Additionally Astral Projection lets me use BoneCage anywhere i want even at edge of the screen.
Since culling on white is below 30%, and on magic under 20% hp. i practically cull mobs every few seconds.
4. Also this helps me load power charge in 1-2 sec and then one shot rares in T12-T13 maps. Bosses get 4-5 bonestorms and they are dead.
5. Bonestorm reaches 40k-45k dps.
6. Also i am using Devouring Diadem, which gets me 20% hp every 3 seconds and some chaos resistance. Might be overkill with Lifedrain support.
7. Is Heavy Ammunition best neck annoint? Currently using 2% mana on kill, but i am eager to test HA to kill bosses faster.
Good build.

How exactly are you culling with bone cage? Life Drain doesn't inherently give culling, so it does literally nothing if you aren't culling with bone cage.

Thanks for the build mate.
First timer POE here. Been using it for my first run, but I have to say, I can't quite wrap my head around how you use Power Charges. Very likely due to my own misunderstanding of the game, but it seems none of the spells you list generate charges?
Again, could be wrong, but would appreciate the help.
Thanks!

To start with you generate power charges by using Power Siphon on a wand to cull enemies. This isn't very efficient!
Once you get the keystone passive skill "Resonance" you'll need to generate Frenzy Charges instead (which get converted into power charges) and you do this with the persistent skill "Combat Frenzy" which gives you a charge every time you Pin an enemy
Finally you use the unique boots "Bushwhack" which adds pin chance to all physical damage, so you don't need to add it with support gems.
Hope that all makes sense!

You are right i messed up two setups i was testing.
I tested so many supports that i lost myself, also i find Ambush really nice for maps clear since i go fast from mobs to mobs and opening Bone Cage always crit on 100% hp.
