no one answered my question about the signet and the curse ring am I supposed to use both at the same time?

I just wanted to clarify what the 3 curses were, if WM counted as one (as it's an aura)

You apply the curse as an aura around you, but it still counts as a curse on an enemy. Same if you self-cast them or use any trigger spell (curse on hit, enchantments, etc).

Thanks for clarifying, just different ways of applying it. Got it.

How's this build at farming full key Uber Lab? I have a Meatball Cyclone build that I'm thinking of stripping down to get more funds for this one. I could sell the Xoph's Blood alone for 4-5ex. That build destroys full key lab though, so I'm worried I won't be able to farm it at all if I sell that character's gear.

Yes, assuming you don't need resists on your rings, you wear both.

Let me ask again.

Is inc area effect works with icestorm?

I think it won't. Icestorm its not a socketed gem, also the corrupted staff on the capture has no links to CWC.

If someone its brave enough to test...

You can always use master crafting, cost about 3 fus and 3 vaal orbs :P

I don't really like the curse on hit and the golems on CwDT. I prefer to self cast golems and use orb of storm with curse on hit. Do i lose anything by doing it this way? And what about adding WM to the curse on hit set-up and freeing mana for another aura?

Sure thing, you can self-cast the golems if you like that. Auto-pop with CWDT saves you the trouble and it always makes sure you get 1 flame and 1 ice golem, while manually you can mis-summon 2 copies of one type and lose DPS. You don't save any gem slots by doing it either because CWDT-IC is a life saver.

Re: Orb for the curses: please read the Boss Guide. That's exactly what we use for the very top bosses. But it's too much work for clearing, auto-cursing everything with CWDT is a lot easier and faster.

Ty for the answer. I thought the CwDT would occasionally summon the same golem i alredy have. Maybe i have to give it another try.

I have another questione. I've been levelling using vaal Ice Nova and it was a big help in some situation. Do u think it may be worth using it in a CwDT set-up?

I'm interested in trying this, but what kind of budget is a person looking at to make this semi-viable? All the uniques and high ES/int/resist gear makes this look fairly expensive, although very fun once geared decently.

From a quick glance, like 200-300 chaos I'm thinking to get all the mandatory and suggested items? I currently have about 130c from my league starter and trying to decide if I want to take the plunge into this build or not.

I'm almost sure perandus signet is useless with 4 uniques.

I got unique helmet, staff, belt and amulet. Soon i will change belt for rare, and ring for unique +1 curse, so it will be still 4 uniques.

Resist ring with +53 int gives me exacly 70 int right now with perfect sun crest and perfect whispering ice staff.

Perandus ring give me 102 int with 4 uniques (with unique ring it would be 137, but then i need to change it for rare crystal belt, so still 102).

So it's only 30 int difference, when in ring we can have good resists, more spell dmg, energy shield etc.

I think perandus signet is not worth it after nerf. What you will say guys?
