Thanks for this crit WO build that I plan to use when I level/gear up some more. I have been playing Blade Vortex (DirtyDot's crit build) for the past few leagues, which is similar to WO in a number of respects, and I'm wondering about some of the differences.

1) Why is everyone using Flame Dash/phase run, which is slower for mapping than Whirling Blades/Shield Charge - especially when there are bare patches with no mobs to recharge your flasks? I guess dual wands are nice but surely any dps hit from changing to knives or a shield would not slow you much down in mapping?

2) Why is no-one considering using MoM, which gives a solid survivability boost? Even though our mana pool is low, WO will leech mana.

1) I hate flame dash, but Wands are much cheaper than a good dagger with the same stats
2) We are reserving too much and that little bit of MoM will not give you a lot of EHP. The costs to cast WORB are pretty high too, especially against bosses, so your mom will not even work as good

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

1) I see. BV also benefits from some dagger mods like %phys to chaos. Makes sense. I'll still look for some daggers to whirl about.

2) The real benefit of MoM is the extra (effective) life leech you get from getting (effective) life from your mana leech. The BV build runs three heralds so lots reserved there, too. I take your point about the mana cost of channeling WO - I guess WO is a little more mana hungry than BV, though my subjective experience is that there's not a big difference. Another difference is that BV lasts a little bit longer, so you have that much more time to leech/regen mana for a new cast.

On a different subject, could you share your thoughts on including Herald of Ash and using Cold to Fire in your WO setup? How can I get a good guestimate on what the difference in dps would be dropping Aspect of the spider for Herald of Ash, PoB is not my friend here!

Hello!

I am currently playing this build and I really like it! I have some questions about gems, especially for the "Cast when damage taken" : I see in Path of Building that we need a level 4 and level 2. I guess I understand why (the total of damage needed?), but I also see that we need a 10% quality for only one and 0% quality for the other. Is it something needed? What does it change?

Thank you in advance !

Quality does not matter. Levels do though as they need to be different to trigger different jewels separately

Thanks for the answer, so it is always better or at least it doesn't change anything to have all the gems with 20% quality?

How would you go about multimodding 2 wands for the build? I know cast speed, spell dmg crit chance/multi and added cold are needed but in terms of prioritizing them? Especially with fractured mods available there seems to be a lot of choices for a base. (imbued/profane? + T1 fractured of which would be ideal?)

Also, I slightly altered the tree for a buff duration cluster. However I sometimes feel the projectiles/channel is a bit slow. How much cast speed do you need to see a noticeable difference in both? Clear is great just in terms of bossing where being stationary can be detrimental.

Thx
