You have to keep it while fighting.

Could you explain why?

you're losing the benefit of "The Coming Calamity", isn't this chest necessary anymore?

The Coming Calamity is still required unique.

HoI+HoT-IncCrit-AddCold-IceBite-Innervate=126% Mana reserved
178% Mana reserved with Essence Worm.

I've tested both version in game.
Herald in helm still works well.
GC in chest can deal very high damage to bosses.

I think current version is better.
Whats the trade off for loosing 3 power charges? infused/inestability/overcharge

Deadly Infusion : +2% Critical Strike Chance while at maximum Power Charge

This buff is very important for critical herald build.
Too many maximum PC will be problem.

You are always on full Power Charges? if so, it doesn't matter if you have 4 or 7 for the Deadly Infusion cap, also, you have Unstble Infusion. And if thats not enough, then use a vaal breach for bosses.

Unstble Infusion can't generate PC quickly against single target.
Sometimes I feel annoying it while boss fight.
If you do not mind it,Instability(Witch PC) is nice node.
T11 and 15 movie added.

Fist of all, I like the idea of an autobomber build that have enough dps to kill bosses, thats why i would like to contribuite to the post like i intended with my first reply.

I'm still leveling it, but the build shares to many stuff with wanderfinder which imho i have knowledge about it, that i'm pretty sure some tree passives can be tweaked to achieve more dps.
