This is my first non-life build, and am having a lot of fun so far.

Here is where I am at with gear / gems but having a hard time knowing what is best gem wise beyond the 6L.

For the CWDT setup, OP and and some others have immortal call. This is a life setup im used to, but in this build where do we get endurance charges to use it?

For other gears, not sure what to put in. I'm missing a few vaal gems (discipline/haste) which I'll pick up, but for the others? Seems like a lot of missing gem slots.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I run CWDT level 1, Increased Duration 20/20, Immortal call level 3, and Warlord's Mark level 5. The Warlords provides endurance charges every so often, but the IC is really just for instant hit burst damage anyway - so it lets me murder a huge batch of porcupine monsters and survive.

I keep a slower projectiles socketed that I switch out if I need single target damage. I also keep a faster projectiles for the case where I want to snipe something off screen without risking much - specifically Hall of the Grandmasters. :)

I use an Ancestral Protector to boost attack speed and provide another target during busy areas, like breaches and perandus boxes.

Even then, I still have some open slots, so I fill those with spare ST gems to try to corrupt to level 21 after they hit 20/20.

The wise oak ... as long as you adjust your resistances so that lightning is your top, it gives you an additional 20% lightning penetration. That's hard to turn down. Also, it boosts your resistances overall so you can take reduced resistance maps in stride. Add in the fact that you get 6 seconds for 20 kills, and you can basically have it up all the time.

I've tried both the 3 rat and astramentis. I get more damage, es, and int with the astramentis. Maybe I'm missing something, but until I figure it out, I'm sticking with my astramentis.

Honestly, your belt looks pretty damn nice. It's probably the last thing I'd try to min/max.

I absolutely still use a mana flask - I don't need it often, but it's nice to never worry about mana, and it's gotten me out of some tight spots. Reminds me, I still need to re-roll mine, it's my anti-freeze flask, and I haven't needed that since uber lab. My flasks are Silver with extra charges and bleed, Wise Oak, Vinktar, Hallowed Mana, and Atziri's.

Alright so I finished Uber lab and now have Avatar of the Veil :) . Also was able to 6l my chest in 495 fusings after not being able to even re-5link it from the last 200+ lol. I was just wondering is using Added Lightning damage instead of faster attacks a huge dps loss? (Don't have the right colors and would rather not reroll if its not a big difference in damage).


Going to also grab an astra ammy soon probably as well as the wise oak flask. Thanks for all the help so far.
