Anyone upgrading from a Martyr of Innocence and got one for sale?

I still can't figure out whether I should be going for a CWC staff or Martyr first...

If you can afford to 6L a staff, then a CWC staff is your best bet...if you want to start playing the build effectively and budget is not that high...get a Martyr. (Typically always start with Martyr on lower budget) If you can't 6L a staff for the 7L it will be worse than a 6L chest with Martyr--unless the rest of the staff is also god-like.

Hi Gryph, I'm trying this build for the first time and having some problems. Currently running the "budget" build.

1) I can't survive with Soul Tether. Somehow I'm not getting much ES net gain out of Spirit Offering. Have 2.5k base HP now at lvl 68. So I'm still using Perandus Blazon haha. What am I doing wrong with Soul Tether?

2) I've got Scold's and Doedre's Malevolence but I can't seem to transition into CWC. My ES never catches up with the Scold's damage. How do I ease into CWC?

3) Assuming I can't 6L a staff because I suck at farming/getting currency, what are my best options for gearing?

Thank you!

I think I'll be removing Soul Tether as a belt option. Seems like you need to have more base life and damage (for leech cap) to make it work--which means at low levels it's not functional in the same way as in my "budget" videos. Alas.

For Scold's + CWC with Malevolence, you should okay to transition. If you're taking too much damage to keep up with it, try using Soul of Gruthkul for 5% physical damage mitigation, Soul of Lunaris for up to 8% and maybe toss in a Basalt Flask. This will lower the damage you take per hit from cyclone a make the procs feel smoother. And as always, levels helps.

Great Build! Was able to clear everything up to Awakener with only scolds, Doedres, Martyr and a tabula. Rest was generic 1c rares.

Awakener didn't work, but mainly because i run out of mana without mobs where i can refil my flasks. What do you do in such a situation?

I also finally got my 6link chest now after spending 2870 fusings on 28quality (almost 15 ex ~.~). 7 link Staff is next probably. But still don't know which mods to go for.

I haven't seen the awakener fight yet, but typically on my Blight Character I could mana my mana flask to last the duration of the fight (or until it gets filled by phase change/adds)

If you stack enough "Gain x% of damage taken as mana over 4 seconds" then mana will never be an issue and you can drop the flask entirely. Can be gotten on a watcher's eye (up to 20%) 6% on rings and amulet as a prefix bench craft, and Battle Rouse anoint if you're on a budget is 8% (still prefer Charging Offensive though).

I use the flask because it's so easy for so much content and not hard to acquire.

Ah that's helpful thanks. Got it on a ring for now.

You say that warstaves can't roll the mods we need, and every base with block I check says it's a warstaff. Which bases do we use then? Cheers

They are conveniently separated by Generic Staves and Warstaves :)

There is an oddly placed message below any block staff's implicit that states:

"(Warstaves are considered Staves)"

This is supposed to be some kind of reminder I guess? I could see how this might cause someone to second-guess though.

Hope that helps!

First off Id like to say how much fun I have had with this build. VD has been one of my favorite skills since it was added and this has been a great way to play it.

Im sorry if this has been answered already but what anointment should we go for?

Yes, but after checking, I realized it's not in the guide! So I will add it after this. Top picks for me are:

Charging Offensive -> Silver + Violet + Teal
This is the BiS enchant for the free endurance and frenzy charges. We hit ourselves while channeling so this is 100% uptime on those bonuses.

Battle Rouse -> Azure + Verdant + Sepia
Great on a budget and helps a lot with mana.

Weathered Hunter -> Teal + Amber + Sepia
Another budget option that provides us 10% All Res and 20 Dex

Nothing Else worth mentioning really. Charging Offensive is BIS and the other two are great budget options.

lol, i was going to ask how'd you got the endurance charges...but you answered in the previous post.
