[2.4] COLB (Cast On Last Breath) tanky, high dps, can use any spells you want

Not too sure i understand what you are trying to do. You will pur 7L in staff in order to get high mana cost? Why the +3 on staff than?
If not, why blood magic on staff?
Also there is really no need for more flask duration, since as it is its never runs out.
I feel that the build you trying to pull isnt orginized

Some more input after more experimenting.

Shield Charge is very viable for anyone not wanting to hop and hop (and hop and hop and hop). You don't need much too much APS to hit optimal "proc rate" (in fact too much will decrease DPS, because CWDT has a 0.25s cooldown), and you get to use a shield for more tank.

Next, I've scaled my mana costs enough to trigger CWDT 17 with fortify active. My Shield Charge is linked to Fortify, making the cost scaling a pain of course (need Melee Splash corruption). This plus 7.5K - 8K HP is a great survivability boost in theory, but I haven't had time yet to test much. Without Fortify, I can trigger CWDT 18, something like 20% DPS increase but makes me too squishy (for now).

Fun build. Too bad the equipment barrier is high (and getting higher with Fevered Mind costs). Have fun!

How much attack speed you have in order to get to 0.25 attack speed? And do you have to press close to your char in order for that to work?
For that mana cost, how many mana jewels you use? 5?
Also can you link gear/tree and video will be great

7 jewels.

As I recall, anywhere within 2.5 - 3.2APS for Shield Charge was fine. When I hit 3.4APS, the proc rate dropped. Measured using max BV stacks divided by base duration (5s in my case). Theoretical max is 20, and I was able to maintain 18 - 19.

Yes, click at feet. Shield Charge scales with APS, Cyclone scales with movespeed (much harder to adjust).

Anyway, I made the switch to Berserker. The difference in armour values and buffs messed up my damage taken, so I need to figure a way to retune everything lol :D 40% more damage too attractive to pass up.

Once I get all this down, I'll try to get some new vids out.


Here you go:

Take it as a shwocase of playstyle. In actual fact there's no need to fortify or even stop to attack in T9. I grudgingly decided to shift Fortify to a separate Flicker Strike link, because too many sacrifices to keep it on Shield Charge (i.e. mana cost scaling). But it took 4 links for reliable Fortify and I'm not so happy with that.

I only need 6 Fevered jewels now and can trigger CWDT 18. Haven't decided if I'm tanky enough or should downgrade to 16/17.

I might record harder boss vids if I have time. But it works as expected - Fortify with 7K+ HP is decent, as long as you know when to move away. Ele Reflect is the only real problem left, but I'm not sure I'll invest the time to work that out.

Been trying to do this build, but unfortunately, the 4 required fevered mind jewels at the moment add up to about 6-7 exalts, plus a scolds, it might just be one of the most expensive builds of the league. The price has just been going up every day. I managed to get 1 jewel for all my currency in the league
So whats the benefit of that build vs leap slam one?

In perandus softcore, it's 2ex per jewel right now. 2 weeks ago, they were at ~1ex.
Don't change anything for me, even at 4ex this build was too costy for me to finish.

You can probably corrupt them yourself for less than 2ex

Im very sorry to hear that.. when i made the build, (only like 2-3 weeks ago) everything was much cheaper, and i loved that it was good build and approchabole to most players .
I hope the prices will go back down

Those jewels are still cheap. I bought 5 in the last three days for 30 chaos each. People just need to watch trade chat and poe.trade and try to haggle a little. Btw, awesome build.

The +3 is for the vaal molten shell, as you would have noted from the gear, and then it's hacked together to also provide a high mana cost on cyclone. Obviously I won't get as high mana cost as you could with a properly corrupted bitterdream, but I am bound to have far more single target, at least when VMS is up.

Yeah, I understand how it lacks organization. It works remarkably well though, as I guess would be expected.

Likely though, if you go for Berserker, RF would be required, since you don't get Taming+Emberwake. I dunno.
