I have to say. This build is up there with some of the aura stacking builds I have played in past leagues.

Nowhere near the old busted herald stacker but for way less than half the cost it competes well with current stacking builds.

Excellent all around build. The boss melting is fantastic.

Bossing wise, it is as powerful, if not more so than most 100+ex aura stacking builds.

10/10 build guide.

Build have outstanding damage and clearspeed. But survivability at least for me feels pretty unreliable. Oneshots on t16 in rituals or on guardians are not a rare thing. Literal one shots from full health to zero instantly. But i guess its more of a problem of all dodge builds.

I know OP doesn't agree but I took out spell totem + wither and am using: CWDT (L5) + Immortal Call 20% quality (L7) + Withering Step (L11) instead. Depending on how much strength you have a lower level Immortal Call is fine as well. That is 25-28% less physical and elemental damage taken before everything else gets calculated.

For me it helps a lot. Another layer that prevents brutal damage before it calculates dodge/evasion/block. When you see IC proc all the time you'll feel the difference.

Poison ramp up is so fast I don't feel the need for a spell totem. Yes there is a DPS loss but this build has so much damage I don't bother with it. Rather prefer another defensive layer.

I also changed my tree and gear a bit. Using a corrupted Poet's Pen with Unholy Might on kill and an Atziri's Flask for a bit of extra damage and it also caps my chaos resist to 76%. I rarely die. Chaos resistance is powerful this league. A 'Corrupted Blood cannot not be inflicted on you' jewel is a massive survivability boost as well.

Had no problems taking down Pure Chayula in a full party and a 100% Delirious T13.

One shots will happen. Even Aura stackers and builds with 8k+ life get wrecked at times. That's just PoE.

"jPinkmen" CWDT is nice and i used it for a long time. But honestly after changing it to wither totem nothing changed at terms of survivability at all. Like it really do nothing.
Only time i really felt the difference is when i was mapping without sand stance. Thats quite impressive how much this aura impacts survivablity.
I dont see anything that can drastically improve my survivability and no obvious way to not for example get instakilled by some legion mobs.
They are usually pretty savage.
All im talking about is that build's survivability is its weakest point and i see no obvious way of changing it. And i dont think i need, its softcore after all.

Go for despair on hit ring instead of snakebite so you can get a 2c temp chains on hit glove. very easy to get +1 curse in a variety of different ways that are easily accessible with this build. Temp chains is amazing for this build. If I only had 1 curse to pick with this build, a build already doing lots of damage, I'd take temp chains to get some extra defense, since it also boosts our damage.
You can get 2 curses really easily. I'm running 3 and could do 4 if I thought enfeeble was worth it.

You can get despair on hit/life gain on spell hit/life rings at a fairly reasonable price.

Hello. Who can check my profile and help with improvements?
Currently, I have only 2 ex left xD
I think dps is almost ok, but it should be better.
Also sometimes character dies on red maps and some bosses.

When I droped my CWDT I noticed some diff in terms of surv. With CWDT I've never got randomly OS by any map/ritual/legion encounters running only t15-16, 1 out of 80 (maybe more) got random savage hits, with very lowrate oneshot by some bosses.

I can even facetank redeemer and warlord with just life and shield gain with hits. Maybe latter add some prof of that.

I use discipline (normal it's enough) instead of herald and in adition to the rings I use

to boost life/shield gain. Kinda hybrid, I still oneshootin almost every pack at t16s

how in the world are you running discipline ? even if you remove herald of agony (which i don't think is that great either) you shouldn't have enough mana left...

i do like that you are not using precision. i just went into PoB and disabling it only seems to make a 2 or 3% difference. hard to believe that matters.

oh. so maybe without herald of agony AND precision you can fit discipline.
