[2.6] TankyTwirl - PhysSpell CoC Cyclone

I guess i still don´t understand.. what do you not like about 22%?

If the reduced Mana Gem changes anything about that number its a bug - and one i never heard off before.

Really enjoying this build so far. I picked up this Vagan dagger recently and I'm wondering if it's worth crafting the (0.6 to 0.8)% of Physical Attack Damage leeched as Life mod on there to help with defense.

This is the dagger, so I was thinking to have multimod, atk speed, spell damage, and leech. Would it make much difference to survivability? Especially since it has a lot of crit already.

IT is Attack damage leech - not Spell Damage - the Cyclone deals almost no damage so no its not worth crafting that.

You also 100% want to craft local crit on the Dagger - nothing is more important than the local crit!

[Edit] Thanks for the reply btw.

Yeah, I understood this about attack dmg on the leech etc which is why I wanted to check rather than just crafting away. While levelling I rolled a bubbling flask with the 'of gluttony' suffix and it seemed to make a big difference. Maybe that doesn't translate into end game.

I guess this means I should go +# to spell damage instead of leech and have to drop atk speed for local crit chance.

Do you think it would still be better to get a Poinard or atk speed Base despite the solid spell crit roll on this Golden Kris?

I should learn the math on optimizing atk speed/crit chance/crit multi perhaps...

Its pretty simple : As cast on Crit build you deal Zero DPS if you don´t Crit. So as long as your Weapon Crit Chance is under 90%, Crit Chance is the most important thing.

I would only use a fast Dagger if you can get near crit cap with the lower Crit base of those Daggers - imho a Kris is the best base after the nerfs to the Dagger Basecrit chance.

I love the build!!

Apart from the reduced mana thing, I have a (probably amateur in the context of a CI build) question.

How to you handle freeze( and chill) besides flask? The other day I got &^$# in a T3 map from perma freeze (cold res is capped)

Use a Stibnite Flask for Anit Freeze - it has long duration and 3 charges- there isn´t really anything that would need more - even Haast can´t freeze enough to need more than that

Thanks for the reply. Here's another two (sorry for the spam, it's just that questions emerge as my build progresses to maps now):

It seems that 6l 1b-4g-1r with >500 ES are awfully expensive on Legacy SC (keep scanning regularly last week and lowest price I found was 5ex). 2b - 3g - 1r starts from 2-2,5 ex.

Up to what tier you think 5L is ok with everything else pretty much optimised? (I just need a more suitable amulet but other than that I am pretty min-maxed for my budget I think). Is it worthwile to invest on 1-3-2 or stick with 5l and farm/wait for a bargain/ keep currency for sth else?

Also for 5l I use self-cast EK up to now (gonna start CoCing asap, just haven't got walk the aether yet, Cyclone crit change with charges is about 80%). For CoC single spell, do you prefere Bladefall over EK and why?

I´d rather use a 6L with less ES then a 5L.

Also 2ex is.. pretty.. cheap? Like when i first started this build i was happy to buy a white 6L for 6ex prices have come down so much...

Should be easy to get something with 450-500 ES with just a essence + mastercraft on a ES/EV base

IF you want to use a single spell i´d much prefere Bladefall - its damage is better for singletarget and the AoE is better you could also try EK with the new Jewel - did not really test that as Jewel slots are pretty powerfull with rare jewels.
