Ascendancy Points:
Only 2 ascendanscies really matter we go AA for that true Jerry Lee Lewis cosplay (Ambush and Assasinate) and Mistwalker just like Jerry did when he married his underage cousin.

Bandits: Kill all since passive points are amazing.


SKILL TREE EXPLANATION


My specific tree is for claws and it's on a semi budget, the most expensive piece of gear is my chest and 1 ring and those take the build to around 15divs but it can be done on a lot smaller budget and you can change to daggers very easily for more damage but less survivability.


JEWELS

If you can then build using cluster jewels, I haven't since it gave me a headache to try and figure out. I'm lazy AF so O just use a watcher's eye with attack speed while affecter by precision for some extra attack speed.


SKILL DPS

Firestorm DPS in game is deceiving since it's hits aren't massive on tooltip, but that's because the tooltip doesn't factor in the 325% increase damage from the big ball or the reduced ele res from curse and so on. suffice to say you'll be melting T15's as long as it isn't god touched rares or bosses you should be fine.

Since we are playing CoC make sure your attack time on Cyclone matches cooldown on your procced skill to have it feel smoot imo, if u want to see breakpoints just google ''POE CoC breakpoints attack speed''


DEFENSE

75% all RES
58% evasion
60% spell dodge
200% Elusive Effect


GEAR

Aim for crit, global crit, attack speed, res, evasion, life on hit and then just balance them stats yo


GEAR EXPLANATION

We want life on hit on rings since that is our main life sustain, we need the extra crit and attack speed for Breakpoint for CoC and then we just want spell damage and added damage to spells to push Firestorms 325% increased damage as far is it lets us.


LINKS AND GEMS


Main DPS Setup

Cyclone-CoC(Awakened CoC)-Nightblade-Spell cascade/Conc Effect-Immolate-Firestorm

Nightblade for extra elusive effect as well as crit chance and then we use cascade for clear and conc effect for bossing. awakened spell cascade is recommended and cheap in standard for 1 div.


Mobility Setup

Blade Whirl- Faster attacks

Fast and we spin in another direction


Aura Setup

Anger-Herald of Ash-Enlighten

Precision-Blasphemy Flammability-Enlighten

Damage Damage Damage




LEVELING

lvling is straight forward, personally I used bane with despair curse until 38 then I popped on 2 widowmakers for extra crit and did my first ascendancy and picked up AA. After that it's spin 2 win time and balls will rain.
