So i've made the switch (https://pastebin.com/zbSiQqBd), but it felt really clunky. I think that my cyclone doesn't do enough damage to me, or i don't have enough mana cost for the VD. I have the clarity watcher's eye with 19% dmg gained as mana, but still only lasts me just a couple of spins. So i've gotten a mana flask - now there's no problem! xD

But regarding damage, any tips on how to get higher dps? My PoB shows a bit over 100k
L.E.: oh, and the AG has the budget gear

Hey I'm taking a look and some things you can do:

The main issue you're having is how low your crit chance currently is. To that end:

-Get a diamond flask

-CWC+Power Charge on Crit Staff will do wonders for you

-If you can't yet get the staff you can take out Ball Lightning (least impactful socket you have) and move spirit offering to that slot, then put assassin's mark (low level) in the CWD-Desecrate-Spell Cascade links. You have no power charge generation, so this will help a lot.

-I realize you play standard so amulet enchantments are probably really hard to get your hands on to anoint with Charging Offensive...So get a level 21 Specter Gem which allows you to have 3 specters, and go to act 7 ashen fields for a carnage chieftain to give you some frenzy charges. Act 6 Riverways for host chieftain is another way to get power charges too.

-ES chest with T1 spell crit. This is fairly obtainable and will boost your crit by a LOT (also when choosing a prefix to craft onto the chest, 10% of max life as extra ES is BiS)

-Can try getting a pair of doedre's malevolence with spells have .5-.8% crit chance.

Hope this helps!

Nice Guy, nice build :)
keep up the good work

Hello guys!

Very fun build and thanks for the guide.

Would it be worth to craft 20% chance to deal double damage and 6 link this staff
or not??

6L yes that's definitely worth 6 linking.

As for the double damage mod, the bench craft only goes up to 10%. I would honestly go for attack speed bench craft for faster triggers on CWDT. Can test it with a lower tier roll to see how you like it. It's especially noticeable if you have phys mitigation.

You could also scour the suffixes (Craft 'prefixes cannot be changed' then scour) and multimod it for higher spell crit, fire damage to spells and attack speed, crit multi, or 10% double damage.

Thanks for the tips; i´ll 6L it for now until i have some currency to multimod. I didn´t know that "prefixes cannot be changed" would keep them even if you scour the item. I´ll go for that in the future for sure.

About the bench craft i´ll try the attack speed; i hope it doesn´t make me have mana issues. Btw what do you mean when you say "it´s specially noticeable if i have phys mitigation? do you mean a flask?

I have Animate Guardian with Kingmaker which gives me fortify. 25% increased Aura Effect on me from chest makes that 25% reduced damage from hit.

I have 4 endurance charges with is also 16% physical mitigation

So I take less damage from my cyclone per cast so having faster attack speed makes it not matter.

As for mana sustain, I cover it in the guide but the easy way to do it is to use an Enduring Mana Flask:



Or get a lot of the %Damage taken gained as mana over 4 seconds.

Hi, in the end i crafted 13% attack speed and 6l my staff .
Just came here to say that today i jumped into Uber Elder, and it was the fastest and probably easiest run i´ve ever had (deathless).

So thank you very much and grats on making such an amazing build!

Dude thank you for the great build. Super strong my potato PC can hardly run it tho. Just a noob question, how can the build generate endurance charge? Btw which anointments should we use as well?

Answer both of your questions at the same time:

Charging Offensive is the best anoint for this build if you are using CWC setup. It generates Frenzy AND Endurance charges. Costs a Silver oil.

Battle Rouse is good (and cheap) if you're having mana struggles. I would use this early on as you're still figuring out your gear.

Thank you dude. Just beat shaper with one death, which can be totally avoided. Just a bit mana issue when bossing. Other than that this build is prefect:) So much fun!!!
