Before switching to coc make sure you have:
- Unique items

All the unique items cost less than 15c except Chayla, which costs 2 divs. Do you think it's worthwhile playing this before going low life?

can u give advice to crafting on rare items?

I dont have enough %hp to reserve all 3 skills on shield, what a im missing?

https://pobb.in/HGoFkIuFH4fL is my current PoB. Any recommendations for upgrades? I'm pretty sure Awakened CoC and 52% CDR is next on my list.

@Spiattalo
I personally swapped to CoC at 68 when I could equip Cospri's. I just played a hybrid life ES build and swapped to LL about midway through yellow maps. I had no issues up to that point.

@BloodySunshine
You need more generic (or life) reservation efficiency. I personally have "2% increased reservation efficiency of skills" from a jewel corruption. Annointing Champion of the Cause is another possible option.

how much does this build really cost? can you do it on 20 div or is it closer to 50?

Thank you for the build!

Any way to deal with bleeding besides corrupting a ring and hoping for the right implicit?

edit: just saw in the POB you use a charm to remove bleeding when you use a flask :)

What are people doing to get elemental ailment immunity? I don't want to run Purity of Elements, so I'm thinking Stormshroud will be the easiest way. It just seems like hardly any CoC builds on poe.ninja use Stormshroud. What methods are people using? Or are they just not worrying about it?

i see the budget got changed from 20-50 divs to 50-100 divs what exactly is so expensive about the build? i looked up the uniques and they are all cheap. even a 6 link shavs is around 3-4 divs. is it the cluster jewels? i didnt look up those.

i would like to try the build but only have around 20 divs right now. should i not bother?

How are you getting level 8 Awakened Coc support? I don't see anything in the POB that's giving gem levels. EDIT: Nevermind, found the Mastery
