Fun build.

A couple changes I made that works well (for me anyway):

I changed the second Spellslinger setup in my boots to the following:

Bladefall - Spellslinger - Anomalous Blind - Divergent Onslaught

Divergent Onslaught now procs ALL the time, even on bosses. I noticed Frenzy just wasn't cutting it with onslaught support and rarely proc'd.

Because Awakened Spell Cascade is in my Poets Pen, clear/damage is still phenomenal and this setup is not as PC crushing. I still blind everything in my path and now have near permanent onslaught.

Regarding Frenzy, there are a couple neat choices that open up for 4th socket.

One is Fortify support, however from what I understand it is bugged with wands for some reason. Apparently it does still work with Frenzy but the buff icon is invisible. The other choice is Culling strike. More attack speed and an extra boss killing boost.

Anomalous Frenzy - Power Charge On Crit - Faster Attacks - Culling Strike (or Fortify)

This setup also frees up mana for a much higher level Precision if you so wish.

The other defensive setup I am using is: CWDT (L1) - Immortal Call (L3) & Purifying Flame

Works great and prevents a lot of heavy damage. Purifying Flame lets you stand your ground with a significant regen boost.

Damage is so insane with this build that I prefer this defensive setup over Wither spell totem.

The consistency of onslaught can be an issue, but i wouldnt give up spell cascade for a slightly more uptime for onslaught, since we use spell slinger and we dont really super need a faster attack. I would rather have more blades than a more consistent onslaught tbh. The addition of culling strike tho, is pretty decent and i dont think fortify works because its not a melee hit(it specifically stats fortify on melee hit)


Consecrated ground is pretty decent usually, but kinda redundant here, considering we have alot of life gain on hit, the extra 6% life regen per second isnt substantial, considering the fact that every spell hit gives up to 30+life


I also wouldnt drop wither totem, wither is a staple for every single chaos build out there. My damage per blade went down from 324k to 183k without a wither set up. I would call that a huge substantial loss that isnt worth taking over a tiny bit of survivability(immortal call cwdt been trash since the nerf to phys immunity on immortal call)
Damage is enough, but wouldnt we want more damage to instant phase bosses instead of surviving slightly tiny bit better, but take double the time to phase/kill bosses

Is bottled faith worth it for this build? or atziri flask give us more chaos damage and this boost is better?

Good points. I am so use to playing melee that I have a hard time letting go of some melee tendencies XD.

This is my 1st spellslinger build. I have a +15 life gain ring. When you say 30+ life gained - I assume you mean because we hit with 2 spellslinger setups? Or am I mistaken.
