[2.1.0][SC]XMass Tree - CoC Staff - Spin2Win - AuraCurser - Cheap (Ez Maps/FuN/Fast Clear Speed/DPS)

At first I thought that build was squishy, but when I realized how powerful it might be, I deciced to give it a chance. I don't regret it, in fact I have to say that build is amazing and capable of doing end game things.

For even faster clear speed I decided to go for 5 linked curses + blasphemy + enlighten lv2 and 4 linked herald of ice + innervate + culling (I want to use ice bite instead of culling strike but it requires enlighten lv3 connected with curses and enlighten lv2 with herald).

The good thing is that it is possible to respect all aura reservation nodes and use only curses connected with enlighten lv2 to gain more hp and survivability (unfortunately for blood magic staff users only). My current hp with herald of ice setup: 4501 and without: 5210

After crafting staff I wanted to swap warlord's mark for something else but than I realized that additional life leech plays a crucial role in reflect maps and boss fights. I've tried many things for boss fights and I can say that using vaal haste, rallying cry (for extra dmg) and atziri flask suits me best. Sure, there is an option with voll's protector and discharge but I felt like I'm missing something in clear speed, besides that perma freez and insane range of ice nova are irreplaceable. Still, blade vortex + increased duration + power charge on crit is good option for keeping power charges during longer fights.

My goal with this build is to kill Ambrius, Legion Slayer, it might require Lightning Coil and Taste of Hate but it should be doable.

Thanks again for nice guide!

This is nice example of end-game gear and possibilities :)

I would also pick survivability version over discharge, it just looks way move powerful overall.

I think attack speed will be best.

Can anyone tell me how all of these curses will be triggered? I'm a bit confused because their are like 4 curses you would have to activate?

The new blasphemy skill turns curses into an AOE effect, while reserving mana. So when you get close to a mob it becomes cursed.
I have a love hate relationship right now with this build. I can do some amazing dps then out of no where I don't crit at all or the mana regen sux.

I can only run 2 curses and 1 herald. How the hell do you run 4 ?

I get popped easily by heavy hitting melee.

Any maps over tier 6 I get my ass handed to me at least once per map .

This is my first coc/cyclone character and I do love it. Thanks you for the build.

The curses to be run are Enfeeble/Warlords Mark/ Assasins Mark. You need +2 curses on enemies either from gear or gear+tree.

IM not sure what level you are, but i got my +1 curse on tree pretty late. Till that lvl i was running with +1 boots and +1 ring.

Tips:
- get EV/ARM boots to 4R them, put increased duration
- stop wasting doedre scorn...
- Either get +1 boots or lvl enough for +1 on tree
- two immortal calls is pointless

I do have the plus 1 on tree already . Not enough mana to hold all 3 with the herald.

Wasting deodre's scorn ? How so ?
