[1 .3] Cast on Crit SweepStaff (Shotgunnerf resistant)

Cast on Crit has a internal cooldown of 0.05s so it can proc 20times a second. Barrage and Spectral Throw are capped with the internal CD's, Cyclone cant reach it. Sweep possibly can archieve the cap but its not really required.
Sweep can crit multiple times on a single swing (depending on the mob density and positioning) and oneshot most packs.

With 'the Awekening', the upcoming expansion, projectile based CoC builds will get nerfed (shotgunning nerf with spells) and Sweep gets buffed (Maraketh Staffs with Crit instead of Block), thats a good thing, isn't it?!

Pros:
-Is not affected by shotgunning nerfs!
-Reflect immune with LifeLeechGems+VaalPact
-Staff Nodes.grant CritChance for Attacks AND Spells (incoming Makareth Staffs too!)
-fast clearing build
-2 possible 6l but works good with one 4l+ one 5l
-flexibility with the spells, depending on mapmods/monsters
-good for lazy people likee me, passive autocast on many things!
-uses skills other ppl dont use like Shock-/Icenova, Firestorm and Flamesurge very effective!
-its a SweepHipsterBuild!

cons:
-not very new League friendly (but possible)
-not new player friendly like all CoC builds
-somewhat cheap to start but really expensive if you want to do it right (double 6l, GG Vagan Staff etc).
-the first 60+ lvl cant be played with CoC
-Melee+2h+Multistrike can be really annoying at highlvl Mapbosses where you have to dodge attacks like Crematium Firestorms or Dominus Slams... regular Melee problems...
-no shield

I found this 6l Staff a few leagues ago, low ilvl but enough for this build so far.
A 4l could be enough. Crafted it with Alts+Augs and a Regal. The Regal and Exhalteds didnt hit :(
A Vagan-Staff is really good, too but superexpensive! You need to hit the Augmentation and then use the fusings to 5l/6l it. Its cheaper to buy a 5l Staff (even lowlvl) and roll some spelldmg on it+mastercrafts.

Important stats: Spelldmg, Critchance, Attack Speed
Good Stats: Spellcrit, +2 FiregemLvl, Accuracy, Crit Multiplier



Use the Helmet for Life, Resists and Accuracy. Rats Nest is the best in slot Unique if you dont care for Life/Resists on this slot


Maligaros is the best in Slot, pretty cheap. Instead use Gloves with high Accuracy, Life, Resists and AttackSpeed


Life, Resists, Movementspeed!


Carcass Jack is probably the best Unique for this Slot in this build. It increases every Skill i use except Arc (if i use it) and its pretty easy to chrome. It increases the AoE of Sweep which results in more CoC proccs and better Pack-Clears.
Belly of the Beast or some random 5l rare is still good ;)




Life, Resists, Critchance, Accuracy are the stats you are looking for. One item should have a -mana Stat from Elreon or ~50% Manaregen or at least 1-2% manaleech on the gear!


Life, Critchance, Critmulti, Accuracy, Resists, Spelldamage on this slot


Life and Resists on this one

It doesn't matter in which slot you use your MolteenStrike or Sweep. If you get something like a +2 Lightninggemstaff you should probably use Sweep in the Staff with Shocknova/Arc ;) for non +gem Staffs it doesnt matter.

Weapon:

4l: MoltenStrike, Cast on Crit, Flame Surge, LifeLeech or Multistrike
5l: MS, CoC, FS, MS, LifeLeech or ConcEffect
6l: MS, CoC, FS, MS, Conc, LifeLeech or Glacial Cascade.

Important Note here: You can one-shot yourself on a single reflect mob without LifeLeech!!! Use Sweep for singletarget Reflect Rares if you dont use LifeLeech!
MoltenStrike and Cast on Crit Flame Surge have a nice Synergy. You crit with the MS and ignite the enemy with it because it has the FireConversion. Ignited enemys take 50% more dmg with FlameSurge. It doesnt require things like FireTrap, RoghteousFire or similar for the Ingnite.

Chest:

4l: Sweep, Cast on Crit, Spell1, Spell2 or Life Leech
5l: Sweep, CoC, Spell1, Spell2, Life Leech
6l: Sweep, CoC, Spell1, Spell2, Life Leech, Spell3 or PowerCharge on Crit or %Accuracy

I use 4 different Spells, you can use whichever you want, depending on the Map (+75% resist mod, enemytypes etc), all need a blue socket.

IceNova: quality is supersweet, great AoE, shatters enemys on crit which is good against Summoner and bad for Partymembers with FireEleProliferation Builds. Its my MainSpell. Use another for +75%ColdResi maps or EleProfPartys

ShockNova: again, quality is nice on this one, good AoE und Synergy with Staff+Sweep/Leapslam. The mainissue with Shocknova is that you dont hit enemys next to you, the AoE only hits enemys which stay a little bit away from you depending on the AoE nodes. Knockback fixes this and Sweep/Leapslam have Knockback and Crits with Staffs too, this makes Shock Nova viable! The saddest thing is the low 4%critchance...
Swap it out on +75% Lightning Resist and Devourer maps. You cant Knockback Devourers! Leapers can be ineffective too, switch it out on maps with too many Leapers.

Firestorm: insane quality, good AoE, nice dmg. It doesnt require Duration Nodes/Gem in this Setup. Enemys should die in <2s anyway!
I prefer a lightning Spell because the have the Shock on crit (Herald of Thunder is not enough everytime).
Swap it out on +75% FireResistMaps.

Arc: Can hit enemys even further away, really good for smaller packs with 2-10mobs. The sad thing is, it has no synergy with CarcassJack but it can offscreeen a little bit, Shock and deal good dmg.
Swap out on 75% lightning resist maps.

Test what you like and swap around depending on the mobs and maps, its a flexible build.
i dont think any other spell is viable with Sweep.

Helmet: Herald of Thunder, Herald of Ice, Grace and Reduced Mana

the Heralds increase our dmg and Grace is the best aura for defence(94% Evasion in the Tree!). You could use Haste instead.

Gloves: LeapSlam, FasterAttacks, Curse on Hit, AssMark

The movement setup. AssMark gives a critchance even on non-crit-swings! Charge generation included.

Boots: the utility item. There are sooooo many options, choose what you like!

Cast when damage taken, Enduring Cry, Immortal Call, inc Duration.
Will get nerfed, i dont use it anymore

Vengeance, Power Charge on crit, Cast on Crit, Molten Shell.
Vengeance and MS can give you charges in addition to the Curse. MS gives a little Armor-boost too.
MS can get swapped out for a higher crit chance spell or one of the spells you dont use in Sweep/Molten.
for the Awekening Fortify(support) with vengeance,pcoc and blind is possible too for more defence!

Free slots (6Sockets 5Links) can be filled with VaalGems like VHaste or VGrace for bosses.

95pts http://poeurl.com/zljCK6v
117pts http://poeurl.com/zljDMYM

It doesnt matter if you start as a templar or shadow. Shadownodes give elementalnodes which buffs herald procs, Templar gets Spelldmg nodes which buffs the physical part of GC and he gets more useful gems@quests.
Shadow is a little bit stronger but in the long run you get both starting areas @112 points.

With a Vagan Staff just drop the accuracy nodes and take AtkSpeed, Ele/Spelldmg, Life, Evasion or even Duration nodes earlier/instead. If you got a good Vagan Staff you probably know what to do ;)

Oak, Kill all, Alira

Turn on the Heralds/Aura
Leapslam into the packs, autocurse them with it
Use Sweep
???
Profit and explosions

Even without powercharges you are basically guaranteed to proc the CoC with sweep thanks to AssMark (10% critchance on max lvl even for noncrit-hits)
Vengeance helps with the powercharges and it autocasts MoltenShell on Crit
A high critchance Spell is possible too instead of MS for even easier pcharges

"dariidar's Sweep Cast on Crit Build"
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1213188 for the build idea

I changed many Skillgems/Items in my version but it inspired me to play CoCsweep.

My version should be way cheaper and it will probably work in 1.4 (EnduringCry change). For Firestorm alone Duration nodes are not necassary, even on 77maps packs die in 1-2 Sweeps on a regular basis, no need for 3.5s Firestorms.
Defence-wise, his build is stronger in 1.3 if you have no problems with selfcasting EC+IC, mine for lazy People ;)

- I would add the Fortify support gem into Vengeance, swap cast on crit + molten shell out, add blind or something else
- use a Moonstaff for 80% global crit chance
- increased dmg for almost all spells!

Ice Nova +19.62%
Shock Nova +8,1%
Arc -1,1%
Firestorm +24,9%
(Storm Call) +22,8% (only matters if it works with Sweep)
Flame Surge -17,9%
Glacial Cascade +24,28%
Freeze Pulse +235,9%

this means on paper:
SweepCoC AoE gets stronger!
FreezePulse is a MustHave in MoltenStrike.
FlameSurge can still be stronger than Cascade, maybe i would swap Pulse for Conc Effect.
The shotgunning nerf helps in this case because we dont have slots for additional projectiles :)
- the skilltree is atm the same +jewelslots

I think CoCSweep, Cyclone and Groundslam are the future, projectile based CoC builds will get nerfed into the ground. Further testing required
