CwDT, how much to level it?

On this combination;




Was thinking around lvl 5 perhaps?

I am CoC build /effectively an archer and I have 4K HP.

perhaps

and you can keep leveling inc duration gem

Why level it at all for those particular skills? Is there really that much difference?

for Immortal call? no matter how small difference it is, its still the difference and it doesnt cost anything

In my research, no - that's why I've chosen lvl 3 (or lvl 35) for all skills.

One reason could be that I don't want to get it up for minor damage, only when seriously injured. I have second CwDT setup on lvl 1 with endurnig cry, ofc.

If you are often in melee range, which I assume you are with cyclone, it can be good to level it higher if you manually cast enduring cry or have it on a second cwdt. With 7 end charges and my immortal call at level 13ish, I get over 8 seconds of physical damage immunity which is amazing. I run into a pack with some end charges, it goes off, I have plenty of time to kill everything while being immune to physical. I find this much better than the 0.2 immortal call from cwdt at level 3, where it will only save you from very fast successive attacks (like those leap slam frogs from act3)

have your research included investigating CwDT gem desription? It mentions skill gems, not support gems :)

I feel that 5 is the sweet spot. Even with my hybrid (spectral throw), it goes off very frequently, and way before there is any danger. Going lower would trigger it too often (and make the spells unnecessarily weaker), and higher requires too much damage.

Anyway, it's probably a matter of preference. I use Enduring Cry, Temporal Chains, and Devouring Totem with my CwDT. The totem seems pretty underrated, too. It provides a decoy, cleans up corpses, and provides continuous healing.

Mine is at 6.

Though I plan to add Increased Duration to the above and get a second CWDT to a higher level for my Molten Shell link.

Wooah, had no idea! Bloody wording in descriptions, it's like reading end user license agreement :)
