wow, the new culling strike is a joke.

10 attack and cast speed as quality ? lol?

the main thing is that melee splash, minion damage and multistrike have lost their increased damage on the gem; that renders increased damage really powerful, since you can only get about 90% on the tree ( and some more with jewels).

So we get 10 attackspeed, 10castspeed, 1.11 more damage and 60% increased damage on 21/20 (+2+1staff) ? for 1.1 mana multiplier? thats a joke, really.

with buffed up vaal haste and haste, 10% ias equal about 5% more damage (without multistrike). another 11 from the culling, and supposed you have 90 increased from the tree, 15 from minion damage and 10 from melee physical, 60%id from cullinggem equals about 27% more damage (note that if you have jewels with icreased minion damage, this will be less effective, down to about 19% more if you get 90%id from jewels on top). so all in all about 48% more, and 10% extra cast speed on top.
compared to multistrike, which is a 1.95*0.7 => 36% more damage multiplier, but for 1.8 mana cost, this seems op.

not only does it give more damage than multistrike, culling strike also makes reaching enough mana regen trivial. wow.

if you have an empower lvl4, its still the best dps boost in a +2+1 staff. (if the numbers are still correct on the spreadsheet).

so all in all we have srs, echo, minion damage, empower4,culling and as a 6th either splash or melee physical, depending if you need single target or aoe.

how does srs feel without multistrike? has anyone tried?
in mapping it might be different; often times srs two or threeshot mobs, so the culling range might not be used efficiently - ms might bring a smoother mapping experience from my feeling.

dynamo might not be needed if one uses culling instead of multistrike.
strength is a bigger problem than before, 111 is needed, only 20 from the tree now , mainly because potency of will was moved.

This tree looks solid. I'll add it to OP.

Yeah the efficiency of culling for its mana multiplier is funny. I also think it will make it through to 2.0 unchanged because most builds don't get as much out of it as we do.
