[3.24] CWDT Ward Loop Scion, very easy guide [15 divines]
|
Storing this guide here for standard, the main post will focus on the league.
3.20
The build is absolutely fine and works great still. I will update the guide when I get time, I am still enjoying the league. Since Survival Secrets got removed from the game. We can reach only maximum of 1300 ward and around 1100 ward on budget builds. We need to get some chaos resistance so that FR does not damage our life. But here is a budget 3.20 POB https://poe.ninja/pob/M0y You need to use the calculator to calculate how much life and chaos resistance you need. This way Forbidden rite won't damage your life pool. Here are few example 2000 life and -35 chaos and two 420 heartbound loop rings, 1100 Ward 2650 life and 0 chaos resistance and two 420 heartbound loop rings, 1100 ward
3.19
The build is still extremely powerful This build has received as 33% damage nerf to rare and The Pandemonious amulets The omniscience version of the build has a 50% damage nerf The build will now do 100 million dps without Omni The build can do 250 million dps with omni The build now needs a bit of tinkering and using flask calculator

PoB - Path of Building
Sanctum league Day 5 Progress POB - 7 Divines I still need to farm currency to upgrade. I purchased gems from vendor, they are low level, no gem quality. https://poe.ninja/pob/MGP 3.20 League Budget POB - 15 divines. https://poe.ninja/pob/M0y Standard POBs, they use Survival Secrets. But if you are an advanced player, please use these pob for planning upgrades.
Backup POBs
10 divines 10 million POB https://poe.ninja/pob/Eq6 500c starter build I was running this on day 4 of league start https://poe.ninja/pob/Ew6 The above pob has notes for ultra budget - 300-500c Level 70 POB https://poe.ninja/pob/FAG This requires 420 heartbound loop rings and more than 1700 life 75 divines pob - 32 million dps https://poe.ninja/pob/Gkx Tanky Evade + Spell Suppression Version - Level to 100 https://poe.ninja/pob/HKw
More Pobs, they still work
25 ex budget https://poe.ninja/pob/92q Medium budget, 40 ex Example 1 - Rare ring, 9% CDR https://poe.ninja/pob/935 Medium Budget, 60 ex Example 2 - Rare ring, 27% CDR https://poe.ninja/pob/8QA Medium Budget, 50 ex Example 3 - Polaric devastation ring edition https://poe.ninja/pob/9q7 Occultist/Witch pob https://poe.ninja/pob/8eM
Omni pobs - They all still work
Level 76 POB for Omni https://pastebin.com/wsDbCy4t Excluding the cost of Omni 30 ex omni pob https://poe.ninja/pob/9hC 100 ex Omni Pob https://poe.ninja/pob/9hA 160ex - 100 million DPS pob, high budget https://poe.ninja/pob/8rX 500ex - 250 million dps https://poe.ninja/pob/9Gj 5000ex - 1.5 billion dps https://pastebin.com/t3DZcWbk
Network mode Lockstep
Change this option to Lockstep Go to main menu and change this, this is very important 
How the build works
Expedition items have Ward Ward will absorb the damage done to you If you have 1500 ward, and a monster hits you for 2000, only 500 damage will go to life and your ward will disappear, it breaks Ward will be recharged after 5 seconds Olroth's flask When this flask is on, your ward will not break/disappear The goal is to permanently have Olroth's flask on If Ward is always on, then ward will absorb the damage Permanent Olroth's flask effect So we want to have Olroth's permanently on, to do this we use Brutal Restraint The Traitor https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/The_Traitor_(keystone_passive) Using the traitor keystone and 2 cluster jewels which give us high flask duration, we can get permanent Olroth's effect The traitor keystone works when you have 2 empty flask slots, means you can only use 3 flasks. You can use 4 flasks at high budget, but we need at least 1 empty flask slot Heartbound loop ring explained You summon skeletons, and when skeleton die, the ring will do damage to you Since you are damaged, CWDT will cast spells linked to it The damage each skeleton does is 420, its less than 1500 ward. So you take no damage. If you have 300 ward then you will take 120 damage to life. CWDT gem needs to be level 20 to cast level 20 spell gems For CWDT level 21, you should take about 3580 damage to cast spells We use 3 skeletons and forbidden rite gem to reach self 3580 damage Forbidden rite is a skill that will deal damage to yourself If you cast forbidden rite, it will deal a lot of damage to your life https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Forbidden_Rite As long as your ward is more than the Forbidden rite self damage, you will take no damage to life To Dust Jewel + Anomalous Minion Speed + Reduced Skill Duration Effect Both in combo will reduce skeleton duration to 0.2 seconds Skeletons die every 0.2 seconds and they do damage every 0.2 seconds We cast spells every 0.2 seconds.

Boots
Easy craft guide Boots are the same for all builds, only resistances Base URL https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/2Pgmb55hk If you are extreme budget stop after you get 350 plus ward, just craft resistance in suffix Phase 1 - Prefix Dense fossil till you have more than 400 ward, some times more than 430 ward Check if you have have a high movement speed mod, if yes, then your phase 1 is complete If you don't have movement, annul a prefix and then make sure ward is more than 370 Repeat above still till you get open prefix or 30% movement speed prefix with more than 370 ward Craft Movement speed from the bench Phase 2 - Suffix Now apply a lesser eldritch ember and a greater eldritch ichor Now slam with eldritch exalts If you get low tier mods, eldritch annul them If all three suffixes are horrible, then use Eldritch chaos Repeat the process till you got good resistance rolls in the suffix Buy URL https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/VQlvoOoIp
Skeleton Gems
Anomalous Summon Skeleton It should be level 11 You can vendor the gem with Scouring orb to reduce level https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/L9LeErBHn Anomalous minion speed Level does not matter for Minion Speed, but quality should be 20% https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/68MyPV2hG Gems in helm, very important keep same levels CWDT level 5 Summon skeleton level 11 - Minion speed x/20 - Forbidden rite 1 - Cast When Damage taken 5 Buy Skeleton Gem using this link, sell gem to vendor with Orb of Scouring to reduce level https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/BJLZOqjS8 The levels of these gems should be fixed, do not level it up CWDT must be 5, skeleton must be fixed at 11 Don't change these in the helm, or else you need to do math Anomalous summon skeleton is required, because the skeleton should die because of reduced duration and not because of enemy damage or the loop will go out of sync and stop.
Gem links
Awakened cold penetration is better
CWDT Gems
Cast When Damage Taken - Body armour It should be 20/20 for Skin of the Loyal It should be 19/20 for Skin of the Lords Reason is Skin of the lords has +2 Skin of the loyal is +1 CWDT should never go above level 21, if you make CWDT level 22, build will fail. 19/20 Corrupted CWDT, cheaper to make it than buy it https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/44mrbKvu9 20/20 for Weapon https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/kjqK0F5 20 for gloves https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/qoEvIg 21/20 for weapon if your skill gem levels are 21 https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/vyQ8DhE Also don't link CWDT gem to Righteous fire, flame dash or phase run Make gloves 3-link and use Righteous fire in gloves Or use RF 21 in gloves, that way CWDT 20 won't tirgger RF
Helm and glove Implicits
See POB please, just spam greater ichor and lesser ember till you get it
Gloves - Cold exposure with Greater ichor, and lesser ember for unnerve Helmet - Spell damage with ichor and ember for lightning damage. Very important - Use only 3 flasks with Brutal Restraint Traitor, 4 if you have high budget
Flasks
If you have a problem with resistances, the use Bismuth flask and a quick silver flask with additional resistance suffix Resistance and curse reduction flask https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sentinel/3X3Mn8kF5 https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sentinel/v4k7JaDHE In this build you can only use 3 flasks not use more than 3. You will die if you use more than 3 flasks Pantheon is very important
Pantheon
Soul of Brine King Soul of Yugul - Curse reduction Soul of Garukhan - Shock reduction You can also change craft on boots to give you chill immunity (Scion Only) (Occultist is immune for freeze/Chill) Other Pantheon options will brick the build
Second slot weapon swap
Buy wands from Act 1 Nessa And use Essence of insanity You can put cast when damage taken and portal in 2nd weapon
Start Stop Loop
Swap weapons to start, Press X To stop remove belt and put it back on Or you can remove helm for one second
Map mods
You can do reflect and no regen maps Works Elemental reflect - you are reflect immune No Regen - We don't use regen, we use recoup Warning 60% less Recovery Rate of Life and Energy Shield For these maps, disable RF, blood rage Try to get ignite immunity and corrupted blood immunity for these maps CANNOT DO - RED ALERT Reduced cooldown recovery rate Reduced flask charges gained Three or four swaps to start loop
Mana problem
Mana issues -- you require multiple swaps to start loop First, If your ward is low and have Mind Over Matter allocated, then you will run out of Mana Remove Mind Over Matter You can use the calculator to check, Forbidden rite damage must be less than your ward with flask on Second, In your helmet, the first socket should be blue and put Summon skeleton is that socket Third, If you still have this problem, then put your skill gems in the last socket of weapon and body armour. The skill gems should not be first gem in weapon and body, put support gems first!
Loop Speed
Skeletons and Ice Spear should refresh at same speed " " " https://returnx.github.io/cwdt/

Upgrades More
Watcher's Eye
Hatred critical - Divine it for more than 1.7 https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/MQQLMTJ
Rare Ring
Rare ring requires Divergent Cast When Damage Taken Its time to remove one heartbound loop and use a rare ring Examples, they are missing life, so they are quite Ok, not great 3.18 - The Pandemonious Amulet Get a rare ring with lots of resistance, life and mana recoup Example, this was made with recombinator, you can just buy one and put mana recoup in prefix Omni Amulet - Rings Frostbite on hit for Occultist only What and why and how
Spoiler
For this upgrade, there are 2 - ways
Increase life to 3626, or Use Divergent Cast When Damage Taken Assuming you have a 420 heartbound ring, and level 11 Skeleton Lets find out how much life required Level 21 CWDT requires 3580 Heartbound 420 does 1260, its 3 skeleton X 420 3580 - 1260 = 2,320 2320 / 0.4 / 1.6 = 3,625 2320 should come from Forbidden rite. 0.4 is Forbidden rite damage, see the gem text 1.6 is -60 chaos resistance So you need at least 3625 life. Forbidden rite should deal 2320 damage to reach 3580 for CWDT 21 The problem with this is, when you ward is 1800 or even 1900, around 300 damage will go to your life pool. And this is really bad for sustain and makes you squishy. Buy Divergent cast when damage taken Weapon 20/20 Body armor 19/20 for Skin of the Lords You need 2510 life for Heartbound 420 You need 2840 life for Heartbound 350 https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/j8wgOQrCX https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/MDl2M0RFJ You can make this yourself by corrupting If you lose quality, don't worry, you just need to increase your life pool. Keep increasing your life pool till skills get cast. Get 3020 life for 420, the worst quality level 11 Get 3400 life for 350
To Dust
3 - To Dust jewels Two with 20% reduced skeleton duration One with 19% reduced skeleton duration How to smart craft You can buy 3 To Dust jewels and divine first, second, third And which ever becomes 19 or 20, keep them aside then Divine the other two Then finally simply buy the third one from trade If you don't want to divine them yourself, just buy from trade using the following links One - 19% https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/7n7K7Oru5 Two - 20% https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/6zG8BYqFG
Empower 4 and gems
Just buy Empower 4 support Ice spear 21, creeping frost 21 Weapon keep 20/20, its easier, because divergent CWDT 21 is 50 ex ore more
Omniscience
Crystallised Omniscience Buy Unnatural instinct as well with this ugprade It goes here, make sure to change the tree pathing.  With the amulet updated, you need to change your helm and gloves to have attributes instead of resistances Omni Helmet Craft Dex on it in the suffix https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/zv9Zkmvc4 Omni gloves dex/int Crafted Int on it in suffix https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/Ebojgz4u5
Helm Enchant
Best Ice Spear fires an additional Projectile Second Righteous Fire grants 30% increased Spell Damage
Awakened GMP
This is a lot of damage, buy this if you can
27 CDR
Get the rare ring upgrade first Make sure you have 6% Mana Recoup on the Ring as well, or you will run out of mana Get a belt from here https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/8PLXEkbIV Get some CDR on boots Also get CDR on abyss jewel Total must be 27 or more. To Dust First Option, Update To Dust for 20/20/18 Total 58 20+20+18 = 58 20+19+19 = 58 Gems in helm now become Anomalous Summon Skeleton 11/20 + Minion Speed X/20 quality + Less Duration 4/20 + CWDT 5 Forbidden Rite goes to gloves 420 heartbound ring Forbidden Rite level 1 + CWDT level 9 + sniper mark 12 350 heartbound ring Forbidden rite level 1 + CWDT Level 7 + sniper mark 10 You also need to downgrade sniper's mark in gloves To level 10 or level 12 Second Option Don't make any changes to gem links, everything stays as 9% CDR Simply use Window of opportunity passive tree notable and also 10% less duration mastery, its ready now Easier choice.
The Annihilating staff
If you still aren't using this one, then get this weapon If you don't have Omni, buy a ring with Lots of resistances With omni, get a good stat ring if you are not using omni, get a rare ring with lots of resistances Get perfect resistances on helm, gloves, boots With Omni get more stats 55 int on hlem, craft 30 dex 55 dex on gloves, craft 30 int Then use the staff. There is no other way.
4 flasks
Use the below calculator to find out what works for you https://returnx.github.io/cwdt/ Two options which work First option, 71% duration and 95% charges gained 6.4 duration olroth's and 56 charges used Second option 77% duration and 85% charges gained 6.4 duration olroth's and 56 charges used Easy way to get this is as follows Replace both your old clusters with this Buy 2 of these clusters https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/BQEMlewu8 The above clusters are easy to craft, grab 2000 alterations and a few augments and a few regals And buy level 84 clusters and start spamming, augment and regal till you get Don't pay 12 divines, craft them yourself. It will take about 1-2 hrs, become a hideout warrior And get 10% flask charges gained on Timeless jewel These are easy to come by, this URL helps, its not exhaustive https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/zZ2jwQgt4

Forbidden Flame and Flesh
Deadeye is the best, or you can buy pathfinder and use deadeye in the tree. Inquisitor is a good option Occultist if you can fit another curse. That's all folks for now. Last edited by Akshay on Dec 18, 2022, 3:03:15 AM

The idea behind this guide is to make it as easy and simple as possible.
So we stick to a very reliable setup. I did around 35 cwdt builds for other people and in my experience this setup is as reliable it gets. Once you grasp the build, then its open for upgrades. This should help new players to take the leap of faith and try the build. This is the biggest hurdle. For facetaking do occultist I actually have an occutlist with 4k life and 1.9k ward and also 20% damage reduction from ascendancy and high block. Also -22 chaos resistance. Its much more tankier than scion. | |
" Could you elaborate on the differences in gear required if I were to do Occultist instead? I've been putting gear together on the side and have an already-leveled Occultist it would be nice to respec. I found your character and it's passive tree, but I assume the breakpoints/pantheon/etc. would be different. Thanks for the help and the guide! |
|
" its the same i just copy pasted the guide here https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3261683 | |
|
nice job doing it all explained.
shame for me that's a lot to think and set it up... |
|
|
Amazing build! I've being farming expedition in city square and then logbooks with close to 0 issues. But i can't seem to work how to sustain RF. Any tips?
| |
|
hi there mate, i wonder if you can help me. I just came back from a hiatus and was amazed with this build. However, i only looked on poe ninja for the layout of skills and items and cant get mine to loop. Wonder if you can help me. DO i need to change/add something?

Thank you very much OP for the simple to follow guide. I've been meaning to try out CWDT Ward Loop but was holding off till next league, as I was already burnt out from this league. Your guide changed my mind and I'm happily blasting away so thanks.
Would be pretty good if you can add an upgrades section to discuss opportunities for defensive and offensive upgrades. Things that I briefly considered were how to get more ward and life, annihilating light for more dps, going for the 27% cdr breakpoint, using only 1 heartbound loop, forbidden flame/flesh options, etc. |
|
|
Could you please post a lvl80 tree? Thanks!

" @lolonnais Need to allocate at least 2 life recoup nodes near the Intuitive loop Am surprise the build even works for you. " I saw the pob, lots of issues. I will guide you to 9% CDR, not high budget 27% cdr. Look at my guide and use that to buy a belt. See the belt section. To Dust Jewels should be, 20, 20, 19. The Skeleton duration, first mod in jewel. Gems in helm must be Anomalous Skeleton Level 11 - Forbidden rite 1 - Minion speed anomalous quality 20 - CWDT 5 That's it, your build should work.
