Seems quite funny !
Price of cybil's paw is going to skyrocket now (or not). How good is it at melting low-end PC ? I'm playing your firestorm build with a friend right now, but had to switch to flameblast due to his PC not liking it at all. | |
It should be much better, since it does not have too many graphical effects. Don't use it with extra gore though, it will massively lag him if you do.

How much block can the build achieve? Also, I'd like to see a full guide.

Once you trigger Bone offering(with rainbow strides):
Without Rumi's With Rumi's Also, this is with two normal Cybil Paw's. If you get the right corruption, it could get up to 75/75(or close to anyways). You could also use the Anvil to hit that 78 block cap, but I dislike the movement and cast speed debuff, so I personally wouldn't recommend it. I am a nice guy.

Is the level 1 clarity worth it ? (I guess it's just for the 2% cast speed from ascendancy)
How does the spell damage buff works on cybil ? Is it just attack block or attack + spell or best of attack / spell ? | |
HArDCORE viable?

Might be depending on your stuff : 203% life (not a lot of strength thought, so life on gear dependant), ok block, not a lot of uniques so you have the possibility to stack defensive stuff. But you'll only have 50~% block until you get a rumi's.
You can also switch hatred to a more defensive aura (you lose 25ish% dps but gain a grace, an enfeeble or whatever). I'll try to level-up this from a tabula until I can find better. | |
how do you sustain the mana cost? only via leech after kill from the lab enchant?
lvling this in garena atm and i can only sustain the mana cost while i have my vaal clarity up, which is kinda ok, because it lasts like 20 seconds without inc duration. do mana on hit jewels work? dont have one so i cant test atm :/ | |
The lvl 1 clarity is totally worth it. I still haven't used all my slots yet, so you can get that aura for the quick cast speed boost!
I say this is pretty Hardcore viable. The only thing that can kill this build are big hits. And I mean really big hits. Run Arctic Armour to reduce some of the bigger hits, or get a lightning coil + ToH. Just get that Rumi's asap. The sooner the better. For me it's my panic flask, and it works like a charm. Plus the boost in damage helps ;P Endgame, yes. You sustain mana by the leech enchant. But before endgame, I just sustained everything with mana flasks and clarity(I leveled one as I played, got the level 1 clarity one later on in the game). I'll probably slowly transform this scetch into a proper build. Doing things one by one. Anything you guys would like to see expanded first? Maybe more about the skills themselves? The Tree? Gear? I am a nice guy.
