Should i take the Endurance charge from oak in merciless or kill all?
what do you think?

I'd say go for the charge if you want to use Cyclone.

Just make sure you can handle the desync or you'll end up with an almost never used 4th charge if you have to switch to ST.

Question

I'm fairly new to the game (about a month) and love this build. I have a few questions that I would love to know why a few things were done the way they were on the build.

Why are there points in extra aura %? I understand the passive that also adds 10% reduced reserved mana, but why near the top are there points put into increasing aura? Is there an ability that it affects that I'm misunderstanding?

Why is Immortal Call and Enduring Cry linked to the same CwDT? I've found that Immortal Call is the only thing that is cast 99 times out of 100. I've found that linking Enduring Cry and CwDT works much more smoothly for incoming damage and then when I need it I have Immortal Call as a castable ability. Please any feedback is welcome.

In the video I see Molten Shell being used, but it is not on the gear/build list? Is it not as good as it should be?

When is Vitality useful? I've found that I want Grace/Hatred up mostly all the time, and am having a difficult time looking for an instance where Vitality would be useful over them since you have 3 LL gems on all your abilities.

Thanks for any feedback

I am seriously thinking about point blank passive

IIRC, it doesn't work with EK

Correct. EK is not a projectile attack.

the skill says projectile right in it

q = increases projectile damage

It is indeed a projectile and is affected by support gems like Faster Projectiles, but Point Blank will not work with it since EK is a spell instead of an attack.

I don't understand why you are arguing. It's a spell, not an attack. Attack based passives and auras won't work with it. Period.
Compare it to a skill like Spectral Throw, who's description says Projectile, Attack.

Skills can either be an attack (that is based off your weapon, like Split Arrow, Heavy Strike, Spectral Throw) or a spell. Spells (Ethereal Knives, Freezing Pulse, Firestorm) scale with spell damage. Both attacks and spells can be projectiles.

Yeah, and point blank only works specifically for Projectile, Attack.

Formatting this on my phone sucks.
