Hello. Great guide, perfectly explained for a new player like myself.
Do you have any tips on how to improve survivability?
I feel like the biggest obstacle for me now is to stay alive to manage to level.
Some packs can be difficult but usually the map bosses that devour me.
I am not that familiar that I remember which maps those were on, Bog I think, at least Core, that one was ridiculous.
I am guessing I maybe need some max res gems for some bosses.
/Havent really checked flasks, I have died ALOT from dots, I thought I had it all covered but seems I missed immune to bleed flask..

Hey Ghazzy, thanks for the build! Am really enjoying it so far.
I was wondering if you had some thoughts on how i should be upgrading my gear next? I need a few more levels to get enough jewel slots for the inspired learning (unless i use regrets) and i cannot as of yet afford a 6L CoD. Other than that, i am rez capped with almost 5k life and 3k mana and all of the other recommended uniques.

Edit: I am in the process of obtaining a 3B1G oskarm to fix my desecrate since i decided to squeeze the heralds into the build.

It's been said several times, but in this crit-based build, Doryani's Catalyst is not the weapon you want. You want a dagger with as much Crit, Crit Multi, and Spell Dmg as you can afford.

Chernobog's Pillar is another incorrect item you have - it screws up the Assassin's Mark produced by your Oskarm, which is how the build creates power charges. It should be replaced with a Rare ES Shield that has Crit for Spells, Life, Resists, and Crit Multi if possible.

Hello there Ghazzy - this is my 1st time trying one of your builds and so far enjoying it as of Lv83. Build feels very similar to some totem builds in how there's the slight delay between when you cast and when damage comes. Currently running CWDT (lv3) - IC - Lightning Golem in my setup. Builds that extra layer of defense while making it so I don't have to worry about ever manually summoning the Golem.

Currently sitting around 5k Life and 3k mana with Cloak of Defiance & MOM taken. Took awhile to get to this point where I no longer need a mana flask in my lineup - until around lv75 I was keeping 1 around until I got the 3 Grand Spectrums placed. Defense-wise, build is holding up reasonably well in most scenarios. I feel like my next stop on the Passive Tree definitely needs to be toward the damage nodes, because the deaths I do have tend to be just from not killing bosses quickly enough, and then running out of flask charges. Could probably also be helped if I poured more currency into getting all the important Skill Gems to Quality.

Tip for people wanting to try this build - I suggest getting quality on Desecrate and the Faster Casting linked to it early on. 1% Quality on Desecrate gives a full 1% Cast Speed for the skill, which really helps the build feel less clunky when you're desperately trying to stay alive in a big pack of mobs or when trying to kite around a boss.

Again, thank you Ghazzy!
