Hey, thanks for this guide!
Could you maybe take a look on my Character? I know i have to Level my Gems but, even if i set all gems to level 20 in PoB (Without the CWDT Setup) my DPS is realy low. Like 30k lower than your average Stats in PoB.

Do you maybe have an idea why?

Hmm I am 86 currently, should I go for Iron reflect first or Unwaving Stance? I am trying to complete the content at like 91 92 :D

You think what kind of changes should I make on my char? I feel really cant do elder and shaper and uber now ;( I think having a enlighten 4 is a must now to add a Purity for a real dmg boost?

Cool build, I notice one area that you could change. Instead of taking the 2 DEX + Jewel slot just SE of center you could go up to the center and grab the 2 resists + jewel slot. I am using it and am not lacking on dex at all. Since this build doesn't benefit from dex outside of reqs, I think its a better as far as I can tell.

Thanks for making this!

1 Question. If I don't have any enlighten yet, should I run herald or curse with my remaining mana on top of a damage aura?

P.S: I am slightly modifying this to get higher PDR and using Cyclone. This saves quite a bit of points. I'll let you know how it goes.


P.S.S: For a budget since Lycosidae is so high right now (70-130c variance), I would recommend grabbing daresso on budget. You probably won't have your resist's maxed yet and it provides a lot of value.

Thanks for dropping by. Feel free to ask as many questions as you want. To be honest, a lot of people have asked the same questions before, but I don't mind giving the answers again. I am here to help. Can't complain. :) Now let's get to your questions.

1: I love Frost Blades and used it for other builds before. With this specific build and setup, Frost Blades is not too optimal. The reason being is because you need to invest into some projectile nodes and your setup for gems and items may have to be different. Frost Blades counts as a hit then shoots projectiles which means the build itself would have to change. I do love the skill though. If you swapped out the skill gem and kept everything the same, Frost Blades would be really unoptimized. I'm not sure if I ever will make a Frost Blades build guide, but anything can happen, right?

2: Though The Perfect Form gives us Phase Acrobatics and could save potential skill points, Loreweave just gives us too many other benefits that triumphs The Perfect Form. Loreweave keeps our resistances at 80%, it gives us a huge DPS boost with crit chance, elemental damage and added physical damage. It even gives us some attributes which could sometimes save you space on the skill tree or jewels. The benefits of Loreweave simply outweigh The Perfect Form.

3: Atziri's Step is amazing for the build too, but I would only suggest it if you already have your resistances maxed out. Getting resistances capped can be a bit difficult for the build depending on how many uniques you are running but if you can cap them, I don't see anything wrong with grabbing Atziri's Step for your boots. Definitely helps us out a lot defensively and increases our survival.

4: With the current gear and items I have, Herald of Purity was simply giving me more damage. Now, this situation can totally change on how you make your build. What I mean here is that the added flat damage from your items and jewels can shift the damage in a different direction. Because of this, certain auras may be more effective than another aura depending. The best way I would say to find out is simply go into Path of Building and check which aura/Herald gives you more DPS with the current items you have.

5: Pretty much the same as I mentioned above but there is some difference here too slightly. First off, we want to deal some lightning damage so we can inflict shock which gives us a drastic increase in damage. With my current setup, Wrath is simply giving me slightly more DPS than Hatred. It also saves me from having to get added flat lightning damage on a jewel or items too.

6: We use Iron Reflexes because we take Unwavering Stance (you have a choice to grab this earlier or later, but it helps with end-game bosses). Unwavering Stance makes all of our evasion useless and trades it off to make it so we have stun immunity. Since all of that evasion serves no purpose, Iron Reflexes converts all of that useless evasion into more armor. Acrobatics our armor down, yes, but we'd rather be able to put that evasion loss to use than just leaving it as is. It might not get us some insane amount of armor since it is already cut because of Acrobatics, but it is better than just leaving it as dead stats.

Hopefully I answered your questions. Let me know if you need anything else, exile!

Good luck!
