Alright.
Since chaos-like recrafts are aplenty this league ima toss it up a bit to see if i can get something more interesting out of it. Otherwise not gonna bother.

After the announcement today I think best course of action is to hold off crafting any clusters until the 3.11.1 patch they announced for next week that will bake jewel sockets into clusters so we don't have to manually roll them (as they wouldn't be harvest-craft targetable anyway).

I'm definitely holding my breath that the patch will make decent clusters possible to craft again without breaking a mirror.

What can I do to fix my single target damage? As of right now im shitting on map clearing but once i get to a boss im kiting them for hours.

im currently on act 9 and having alot of trouble with mana, did i miss a node or something to help sustain it?

seems i didnt have clarity, mana issue solved

The single target damage is a bit slow on this build, but generally:
- ensure your totems are up (you should be able to summon 3 of them)
- ensure despair is applied
- I don't know if you did the swap from grace to malevolence, but at some point you should
- progress the usual damage upgrades depending on prices, like getting lvl 21 CA, empower (rank 3+), getting more chaos multi on gear, getting +3 bow etc.

Also anoint your neck, aspect of the eagle or farsight are cheap simple damage increases. Corruption requires a bit better oils but will boost your wither totem debuff effectiveness significantly.

I've been doing a lot of gardening recently to get the feeling on how common targetted slams are and... they're quite rare but not as rare as reddit might make you believe. However when combined with Primal Maw Seed drop rate (which is one of the rare T1 seeds) finding chaos slam will take some time, that's for sure. Having that in mind i can't really advice three chaos slams to complete an item. I don't know how expensive it is in SC but it surely can't be cheap.

That means i have to make sacrifices when making guidelines for harvest crafting. It's worth mentioning that crafting majority of BiS CA gear requires at 2 chaos slams on average (thanks to chaos res), so... there's high chance i'll only add amulet since it's the most impactful item with only 1 chaos slam required (and eventually readd chaos) for crafting if done properly. Crafting options with reverse method, so alt spamming chaos mod and then fill with life/resists takes a long time and probably is as expensive in the long run. That being said there still might be some adjustments to harvest crafting in general, it's 9th day after all.

I'll be adding that +2 Hunter Amulet harvest crafting method today for sure.

No life, vendor. Your setup for autocursing looks great if you really struggle against normal monster in mapping (and you shouldn't ever in trade league). Besides that function which is redundant in the long run, it barely does anything for the build.

Tbh not sure why would someone sacrifice a 4-link just for curse, there are easier ways to auto-curse and for smaller sacrifice.

I can see it being useful in SSF early on before you get 6-link bow, that's why i hinted it's not useful in trade. I know that i would sometimes leave Despair unlinked and manually curse tough magic packs. Trade eliminates necessity of it completely, so for majority of players it's useless.

It CAN be decent if you fit in extra ED setup in there, mostly for extra regen than damage but that's still suboptimal because you lose a lot of stats normal helmet offers.

Isn't Asenath's helmet really hard to get in SSF because you'd need both the item and the prophecy for the upgrade? They added a div card for the prophecy this season, but no idea how rare it is.

Unlinked despair self cast doesn't sound like a bad idea especially in cases where you can't get Witchfire Brew (I don't think there's any way to target it in SSF).

But a 4-link curse seems like a waste of sockets especially after tons of extra good stuff was added. Something like enduring cry + urgent orders could be worth testing? Or do you think without being able to pick instant warcries they're worthless?
