any reason the build doesn't take zealot's oath?,seems like a no brainer,thoughts on taking it (haven't played LL before but did play CI before they nerfed it back in the day)

also assuming i already have a 6L shav's/prisma shield etc would i go straight to LL at end game or ci>slowly transition to LL.

I do take it thank you.

Assuming you really have it, use your Shav and don't even think about CI.

I just spent the evening converting a carrion necro friend to vortex occultist and he couldn't be happier (his minions and himself kept on deciding to die at lv 93).

I don't think that wand is worth crafting. It cost 2ex to scour suffix's. You could just buy a good Sceptre base with fractured +1 to cold for 2ex-3ex and start from there.

So I got a Headhunter today while using this build and was looking for suggestions on what to respec into. I've seen that it doesn't synergize very well with DoT and I don't want to sell it as it seems like it's kind of a nutty item. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Question:

Any recommended crafting steps to make a wand for this build that isn't too expensive? I have the trigger socketed spells craft.

I was having trouble finding this in the guide, not sure if I missed it. I don't have a lot to spend on trade but maybe I just need to save up for a bit.

Honestly its to late in the league to craft one cheap. Wand bases are 5ex starting cost and for crappy wand bases.


Cheapest Method right now:
Buy a Sceptre from the trade search below and make sure your base has at least a strength requirement your character can equip. If your LL this should be easy as plenty Sceptre only have 85 strength requirement like the shield.

Super Cheap Steps 1ex cost
1. Use Deafening Essence of Woe. This Guarantees 84-94% Spell Damage prefix

2. If you get super lucky and your third prefix hits Cold Dot or + 1 to spells you hit the jackpot.

3. Since you asked for cheap just settle for what you get on the first Essence and craft trigger. Depending how many Essences of WOE you have or want to spend on this step is up to you. Each Essence is 5 chaos right now.

More expensive steps 5-10ex cost
1. Use Deafening Essence of Woe. This Guarantees 84-94% Spell Damage prefix

2. If you get super lucky and your third prefix hits Cold Dot or + 1 to spells you hit the jackpot otherwise skip to 2a.

2a. If your third prefix is removable with harvest crafts and has at least 1 open suffix or is removable with harvest crafts too. remove the third prefix and 1 suffix and proceed to the next step otherwise go back to step 1.

3. Bench craft suffix called "Prefix Cannot be changed" and use scouring orb to clear all suffix's.

4. Bench Craft Can have up to 3 Crafted Modifiers, Trigger a Socketed Spell when you Use a Skill, and +(18-20)% to Cold Damage over Time Multiplier.
