Got myself a pretty pricey Watcher's Eye.
Decided to weight my LL build more heavily on DPS rather than survivability.
Just so satisfying to push for higher dps numbers.

And that is the type of jewel that would make me want to go LL. Hahaha. Awesome pickup!

Alright, so how do we deal with ele reflect on this build? Just tried to do Atziri and lost most of my XP (And didn't even finish) because VD kept targeting the Reflection Atziri.
What do?

We don't do Atziri XD

OR you get 100% reduced elemental reflect damage taken.

Watcher's eye with purity of elements mod
Ash, Frost, Storm Tree noteable (20%)
Sibyl's lament for 40%


it can be done but it's a hassle.

Hello, I am a little bit confused about gem setups, the one on your PoB is different from your gem links section on first page and you are using different gem on your character so I wonder which links I should refer to?

Thank you


EDIT:

Also got my hand on this staff, should I try my luck and try to remove cold damage & stun treshold? I could remove the stun in a safer way using cannot modify prefixes but I'm just not sure it's worth it.

Depends what gems you mean.

I haven't swapped this in main guide yet, but use Spell Echo over Spell Cascade in Volatile Dead after you've completed Uber lab. Should feel better in general.

As for my CWDT stuff....

Essential:

CWDT - Spell Cascade - Desecrate
CWDT - GMP - Unearth
Spirit Offering needs to be on CWDT *somewhere*

The rest is utility.

Purifying flame leaves consecrated ground everywhere giving us constant regen and increased crit against enemies standing on it.

Wave of Conviction applies a constant Fire Exposure to everything it hits.

Ball lightning helps apply curses, Combustion, and grants massive ES recovery when you have ES on hit watcher's eye

Bone offering linked in sequence AFTER Spirit Offering if you'd rather have block over bigger eHP+Resists

Curse on Hit + Curse if you are non crit or cannot afford curse on hit ring/gloves. Link this to wave and/or Ball Lightning

Hopefully that helps clear it up a little.

Gryph,

Having a few issues. Can you take a look at my build? I cant seem to get Spirit Offering and Bone Offering to work as you described. My order looks correct, but I'm taking unmitigated damage and not recharging my ES like with Spirit Offering alone.

Also, I cant fill up my ES using the Soul Tether. I get about halfway full, then start taking big chunk damage and just about kill myself.

Thanks!

I found that if your total ES is less than what Spirit Offering grants as its buff it'll actually end up damaging you when it otherwise wouldn't. This feels like a bug but it seems having enough ES will offset this and give the appropriate heals.

For me Spirit Offering grants 1,304 ES and when I have 1.4k ES I break even. (I had to spec out of all sources of ES regen to test this).

If you are having trouble getting it to work with bone offering, then for the time being drop Bone Offering. For me when I originally tried it, it just worked and I didn't have to go through all the rigamarole of figuring it out.

Can it be that the arcane surge mode is super rare. Im now 1400 alterations in and hevent seen it once. Is there maybe a fossil that can inrcrease the chances?

It is fairly rare, yes. Took me about 1200 to hit it the first time. If you are on a bit of a budget I would try to buy a decent one with Arcane+Double damage first and 6L it yourself. This tends to be cheaper/easier to do especially if you are unlucky with annuls as the beasts are quite expensive.

If you want to fossils craft, Scorched+Aetheric is a good combo.

Also

DO NOT CRAFT ON A WARSTAFF BASE

I know mine is a warstaff, but these can only drop with these shaper rolls. They cannot be rolled via crafting with alts/chaos/fossils.

DO NOT CRAFT ON A WARSTAFF BASE

God damit, you never stop learning in this game.
Well now im poor because i bought the 6-link shaper base, but its a serpentine warstaff, back to the drawing board :-)
At least it pushes my league goal in a farther distance.


I think i´ll just keep it and try to hit some good fossil craft.
Double damage is still possible on warstaff´s ?
