Some item got nerfed because it was just op. That's what ppl called Legacy Items, which you can't find them anymore as a loot drop.

Another reason why it is now way overpriced. Remind me of the day i sold my soul taker for just 36 ex. *sob*

With new changes to Cast When Damage Taken, I think the max level for the gems it can support at level 1 are now:

Decoy Totem = Level 8
Enfeeble = Level 5
Enduring Cry = Level 5
Warlord's Mark = Level 5

They've killed Molten Shell being used with Cast When Damage Taken, not happy.

Why not use Devouring totem, enduring cry and molten shell? So far it seems the best deff combo... And one more thing, have they added a gem limit when using Cast when Damage Taken, for other gems i mean?

How does Dyadus work in this build? awful or somewhat good? very good ...?

and how do you know you hit the maximum life leech? i mean 8% is crazy much, when do u know 2% 4% is enough? any calculation on this?

I understand there is a max Life leeh, but how do i know i reached it.

does it need to be a 70+ Item Level Siege Axe so I can Chance it to a Soul Taker?

I think with the new changes to the CoDT gem it will become a lot less useful. However, there will still be some good uses for it. Enfeeble for one really does not change much with levels, or any other curse for that matter, so it will still be much better than curse on hit. Endurance charges do not do anything special for having a higher level Enduring Cry either. The lower level gem would slow down the rate at which you gain charges though. I can see this being counter acted easily in 2 ways. Either use Warlord's Mark to help you get charges. Or, what I plan on doing is running a low level ED on CoDT as well running a self cast high level one on blood magic. This will be pretty good still, get your charges off the bat with the self cast high level version, then the low level CoDT one will continue refreshing it. The only issue I can see is that I am unsure how the cooldowns work, they might interfere with each other.

Another idea might be running utility spells for people without BoR and Soul Taker. Maybe running a low level Cold Snap with a blind support gem to get some freezes, blinds, and chills. Maybe even try an elemental proliferation support as well.

There have been a number of times where my Enduring Cry and Enfeeble have fallen off and I've taken a massive hit, which is why I stopped using Cast When Damage Taken.

Having to run two Enduring Cry and Enfeeble gems to cover the gaps in Cast When Damage Taken activating is not efficient socket use, especially if you have a Bringer of Rain.

Pre-emptive mitigation is better than reactive, leave the later to flasks.

Yeah I may just go back to only self casting enduring cry. I don't have a BoR though since I play only self found, so just trying to find something useful to do with my extra sockets

Awful. Don't focus on eDps or even pure Dps of the weapon. I suggest you calculate only pDps.
