" Yes once your pushing dps and high level and fully geared, attack speed (and crit for that matter) change dps numbers like crazy. " Some vaal skills are incredibly awesome now and do a lot of dps etc etc. Vaal Spectral Throw I feel is one of the more disappointing ones as its not super fun/godly/qol. That being said there is downside to using it. We are not starved for hotkeys and it doesn't take up a gem slot now, so there is no reason NOT to use it. |

I seem to be able to get away with a single life flask atm. Would it be worth running oak anyway, or just keeping a 2nd life flask on my belt for safety?
Maybe one day GGG will realize we don't like Labyrinth. ha.

Any tips on gearing? Playing HC and I probably will die since I have less than 5k hp but my dps isnt great either. I know my claw is garbage but in HC nobody is selling good claws... http://poe.trade/search/onahohihorisih all terrible EDPS compared to what people are selling in SC |

" Previously I always used to run 2 life flasks. However more and more I would find myself (when needing life flask) just spaming and double chugging health pots and such anyway. I have been using a single life flask and an ETERNAL one with 50% increased recovery on it. It recovers 2500 life over 2.7 seconds which to me I like better than the instant ones. Having 6k life and only getting not even 1000 life back always felt prty bleh. So my advice would be to run with 1 life flask and use some other utility, wise oak would be ok, or even a defensive jade one or w/e. |

Hey there, I'm back again. Just giving some of my thoughts on the recent gem changes to the build.
Ancestral Protector
Personally, I don't enjoy using Ancestral Protector as the attack speed is pointless if you're out of mana so quickly and the extra "meat shield" isn't really ever capable of reliably taunting harder enemies, mainly bosses. Through my experience, the Lightning Golem actually taunts better than the totem.
In it's place, I find either Enlighten 4 or a Culling Strike to be the better choice.
Enlighten 4
Enlighten 4 increases the mana pool by about ~50 (which has better flow of mana cost and mana leeched/regened). The 50 extra mana allows me to cast spectral throw continuously one extra time, which subsequently allows me one extra attack's time to gain back that mana used, making the flow much more smooth rather than occasional* disconnects between attacks when mana is used faster than leeched/regened.
*During my playtime with this build, I've experienced numerous moments of disconnect where you cannot cast a spectral throw somewhere in your spamming due to lack of mana. Making it just a little clunky, but the above is a workaround for this issue. I guess Gemini Claw can also solve this issue, but that's another topic. At the end of the day, It's a very small QoL change, but it makes a huge impact when you think how often you run out of mana in maps where the pack size or density may not be optimal.
Culling Strike
Since Culling Strike works with golems, I mainly use this during endgame bosses. There's not much to say about this. Killed at 10% HP is 10% more damage.
If you are able to purchase a Legacy Atziri's Acuity, I think it works really well with this build.

So in Incursion league, I've gotten this build to almost 70 with no issues. Gotten pretty much all the gear listed by OP (with a few pieces that could still use an upgrade).
One question, on a 5L Belly, is there a reason you chose Ice Bite over Faster Attacks? I tried Ice Bite, and the dps is fine. Then on a whim I thought what if I replaced it with Faster Attacks? My dps with Ice Bite is about a thousand less than if I had Faster Attacks. I know I'm no where near a attack speed cap. The odd thing is, when I'm at my current max Frenzy charges (6) I'm doing the same dps with Ice Bite as with Faster Attacks (when also at 6 Frenzy stacks), however with no Frenzy stacks there is that clear 1k difference in dps. Does Ice Bite end up scaling better at level 20 compared to a level 20 Faster Attacks? |

" Faster Attacks doesn’t really increase your damage, where as Ice Bite increases your base cold damages which scales much better because there are many things on the tree and gear that affects it. You also get the freeze % bonus which makes you safer, so there’s no reason not to. Once you get quality on ice bite, you will deal more damage to frozen targets which is pretty much most of the time. Last edited by HeidePoE#4134 on Jul 20, 2018, 7:46:57 PM

" Ice bit is the best gem you can use once you have your full 7 frenzy charges. Faster attacks is just that, makes you attack faster. It is not necessarily bad but means you have to hit more times to do the same amount of damage. Not saying this is bad... but if an enemy moves, or you hit a rock or other obstruction or are constantly moving, it is damage you lose. |

Can someone take a look at my character and tell me where do I go next in terms of equip? I'm sitting at around 37k hideout dps and 90k with onslaught and frenzy charges, which feels good enough for clear, but I want to take a shot at the Guardians and then Shaper for the first time ever and I want to make sure I'm ready.
