Hi, thank you one more time for guide.
Quick question: why do you use ball lighting ?
Another one: why we don't have to mess with CDR anymore ?

I have a lot of On-hit effects like Life and ES recovery on hit. BL hits very rapidly and has a long range. Right now I use it with combustion and Life gain on ignite from



In the future I will probably use it to apply dual curses with the awakened Curse on Hit support.

As for CDR, CWC doesn't use cooldown recovery and CWDT has a lower CD than CWC proc rate. So it's not very helpful. I mean, it's not a bad thing to have, but it's not needed at all.

Trying different stuff out, just came on the forum after playing to say that this build is now so insane fast its crazy.

Vaal Regalia is a Hunter influenced ilvl 83 chest, coudn't link it... yet:)

With the new 3 offering belt you dont have enough corpse for VD.

Unearth-GMP-CWDT-Greater volley seemed to fix the issue.

I was lucky enough to get the ""Budget option"" for 89c early on, damage feels really good.

take off your soul tether when you do uberlab trials

Buy 100% reduced elemental reflect body for atziri, its like 3c.



Next thing I should do is I assume

6 link both my staff and body
get a better amulet and anoint charging offensive
uberlab (duh)
better boots
enlighten and get anger aura (im using discipline and ash herald)
corrupt glove for assassins mark?
actually use spectres and AG once the socket issue is sorted out
harbinger belt for CDR speed and more damage?

Best build i have ever played, cheap(besides innocence staff) big damage and nice clearing, i could not have asked for more.

I solve the corpse problem by having Flesh and Bone on max level CWDT so they don't proc as often. The unearth is also an option, but so far I haven't found it needed.

AG is great, but I'm not going to run specters this time around because of Socket constraints. Will be lucky to squeeze in an unlinked AG.

Don't use the Flow Untethered belt. It's not a DPS increase for CWC builds. (not on a cooldown)

Rather than a chest with the mod, Sybyls Ring now gives 80% reduced reflect taken +25% from pantheon. That also works.

BiS glove corruptions would be a curse (enfeeble or Ele Weakness), Max Frenzy Charge, or Spell Crit 0.4%-0.8%

Hey, great build. I'm absolutely destroying the content :)

Question about crafting the shaped staff: It seems like it can no longer roll supported by power charge on crit. What should we be crafting now? Thanks

You have a couple options: I believe I outlined it in the guide (if not I made it via a comment somewhere so w/e)

Elder Staff for Supported by level 10 PCoC and the block suffix. With this you can use the Awakened CWC Support which is pretty strong.

OR

Shaped Staff with Level 20 CWC Support and Spell Crit/10% Chance to gain a power charge on crit suffix.

Mix these mods with any of the still viable and good ones available. Can craft with Aetheric Fossils for 20% more spell damage to socketed gems.

- Need to get lots of chaos res as it is a pure hybrid build.

Can you expand on why we need chaos res, and how much we should aim for?


I'm feeling pretty rippy right now and wondering if that's why. Sometimes my ES stays pretty high, and other times it jumps around, which can be an issue when I'm in a pack of mobs. My gear is pretty bad too...planning to replace the amulet, ring, and weapon next.

We have a low Life pool and chaos damage bypasses our ES, so we're pretty susceptible to powerful chaos hits/degens. Having good chaos res fixes this. Ideally aim for 20%+ but get everything else working first.

A 5L chest with decent life and energy shield will go a long way over Tabula, for instance, even better get one that has the Increased Effect of Offerings mod. This will boost your ES recovery from Spirit Offering quite a bit.


Jeweller's Touch Prophecy is about 25c and a reasonable Life+ES chest with the Offering mod will prob run 5-20c.

I really like the playstyle of this build, but I might have to move on :/

I got the only armor with ES, life, and +offering that was on poe.trade, but I'm still dying to T5 Metamorph bosses. My AG died as well :(

Not sure if I'm bad, the league is hard, or what, but for the level of investment I sure do die a ton.

Hmmm. I rarely even get hit by the bosses (keep my distance and cyclone in big circles around them).

That said, you should look at getting a better weapon as that one is doing basically nothing for your damage. Even a cheap Temple modded Fire Damage%+Fire damage to spells scepter would boost your damage by a lot; and when things die faster you don't. :D

You can also try implementing:
1c ring

or

More expensive mod:



Put CWDT+Ball Lightning+Combustion+other spell and you'll be recovering tons of life as it will ignite multiple times per enemy. This will save you from everything shy of a one shot basically.

If you do that, try taking Ghost Reaver for 2 points to give yourself a really consistent ES leech (up to 20% of your ES per second). This, in a addition to Spirit Offering, will give you a lot more recovery.

I would also wait to use the AG if he's dying. It's a pain to remake him. I'm currently not using one (though I will in the future) as I don't have the socket space.

Again, kite the bosses. We have no reason to be in melee with them :)

Hope this helps! I know it can be hard to get it going but it's definitely worth. :)

Edit: You have some tree optimizing that you can do. Take the 1 int node in the northwest section of your tree to connect it at the top. This will let you remove 3 points near your start. Then also remove the Explosive Impact Cluster and all the associated travel nodes. Use these to get Doomcast and, if you do what I outlined above, Ghost Reaver.

I've spent a lot of regrets on this build in addition to all the ones available from quests--I know the feels :)

Thanks. I managed to craft this but I don't think it's a very large increase in damage when looking at PoB

That's a pretty nice looking staff ya got there (Even if I prefer block bases). Just having the extra link should be a good DPS boost.

Of course if you're going from a 6L Chest to a "6L" staff....maybe not as big of a boost as you want.
