So I have a question regarding wither. With the new alt qual withering step and withering step enchant (only decent enchant I got for my devouring) I get up to 12 withers applied to enemies around me. Thats like almost cap (which is 15 right?)

Soooo can I drop wither spell totem to get a cast while damage taken setup in there? my only issue right now is surviveability in 100% del maps, I die occasionally to damage bursts, 2 or 3 shots. where I think some cwdt could help.

But I dont really know how wither and withering step works? due to the way the build is set up withering step and assassin elusive constantly "remove" each other, does that also remove the wither effect from withering step? or is the withering effect from withering step up basically 100%?

Basically, quick summary: with 12 wither withering step, is wither uptime on bosses etc high enough to make dropping withertotem setup possible?

(I also have wither enchant on belt, so wither is quite important)

Ty for the build btw, so far really been enjoyin it. every upgrade made it feel better and better. Now im at the point of minmaxing. savin up for headhunter too. Ill probably get self poisoning goin (with unaffacted from watchers eye. double damage watchers eye are too expensive) for the sextant self poison mod. That should be quite the damage increase while mapping right? 100stacks of self poison should be 1200% damage increased with the sextant roll

Interesting question ! Will follow advice and will test if no answer.


I also currently use those options (HC) :

- Dendrobate Armor (so Agony is not mandatory)
- Malevolence+ SkitterBot +Flesh (2 defensives) I am wondering if Divergent Arctic Armor wouldnt be a better option than skitterBots (loosing 15% dps for 15% phys/fire stationnary def)
- Frost Shield ! Gives 2K life and some crit % when stuck to bosses

/edit : for more dps I also think about Herald of Purity+Culling (22% more)

Just tested it : There is a purple effect on monsters (Withered debuf ?) when they enter your area and it lasts only after the normal delay even if you use a skill that removes your own Evasive buff

I dont quite understand? how long does it last? only for a short time?

Im still thinkin about switchin to cwdt only for 100%delir, I dont feel like I use totem a lot there, appart from against boss spawns
