I just got my 6L voll (41-86 with 5l GGGBB), still using GGGBBB and warlord mark, been farming merc lab sinc 60, atziri since 70. Trickster with warlord, no problems with leech.
If any boss last longer than 13 secs for u...u probably doing something wrong.
Also Atziri / Split phase, Trio, other phases bosses (Ambrius) refills ur Flask, obviously this is a must if u gonna relay on flasks

(endu charge is just a luxury, normal one will do the job)

Cyc faster attack = faster spins. Move speed makes u move faster, not spin faster.

You can run warlord's and have same leech as me cause you have Voll's Devotion amulet. You do almost double damage than me, because of it. Also, you'r playing solo? I'm constantly play in 4-man party. This means that things don't die instantly and I need to facetank for a bit. Frequently without a way to restore flask. And not everybody have Voll's Devotion laying around. So, different circumstances and such... I'm able to outleech any enraged trio boss, standing in desecrated ground. But yeah, this is not needed for solo Atziri.

About cyclone. Please read its mechanics. Here's a nice video, that demonstrates its work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmfUv4Jcn4c

Got super lucky and chanced Skyforth today

Is it worth keeping them for a build like this or better to sell and use the Ex's to buy Voll's Devotion?

I'd keep them. They are quite nice item by itself and are worth much more than Voll's Devotion, at least in std: 20ex for devotion and 60ex for skyforth in std.

Getting into T12 maps and beginning to get some trouble with my character. Today I died 5 times which, for me, is just losing way too much experience. Ever since I switched to CoC at around level 60 I have maybe died a total of 3 times so seems like I am now hitting a bit of a wall at level 89.

Was hoping someone can give me some advice on my current set up on how to improve.

My original build is based off of Mathil's but I then adjusted it a bit here and there going off of Bakedchicken's build, but I'm not sure all my current points are optimal.

I have around 4 ex and my plan is to save up for a Voll's Devo but I am pretty far away as I have not been able to play all that much. For the time being I would rather put that currency to whatever you guys recommend.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Some things I recognize:

You took 4 points below "Vaal Pact" to get reduced mana reserved, which makes you able to run 3 auras - thats a waste. I would suggest you to get a enlighten lvl 2 for both blasphemy and disclipine setup + soc that unique jewel which gives 2% mana reserved -> You have 1 jewelslot less, but 4 points more to skill.

I there are better choices than maligors. Best would be attackspeed high ES rare gloves. On the other hand you can use facebreakers if you need more dps and hence more leech.

You could also try to use assassins mark on blasphemy and lifeleech gem. this would improve your survivability in situation where monsters are curse immune. I tried both setups and I highly prefer the one with assassins mark - get another 5l volls and try it! Do not recolor yours imo, those colors are fine and volls 5l are like 40 chaos.

If we drop leech, use what instead, empower?

I switched in a level 2 enlighten and just took the aura node near CI to get 4% reduced reserved mana and I am now running 3 auras after dropped the Charisma cluster. Are the other 2 points in the Influence cluster worth it to get the +20% increased effect of auras worth it or are those points better spent elsewhere?

Also on the topic of points, is the Coordination node worth it for the 12% AS or is that possibly wasted points as well?

Yeah, I am planning on switching to high ES/AS gloves when I get Voll's Devo to be able to make up for the lost res. I did use facebreakers but the extra gore effect makes large packs lag me out a bit so I opted for maligaro's instead.

This sounds interested, if I continue having problems after the previous changes I have made then I will definitely give this a shot. Yeah, I won't recolour mine since it took over 800 chromes to get these colours haha. Although trading Blade Vortex for Asassin's Mark feels like it would really lower your single target damage.

Thanks for all the advice!

Hi, I had just leveled a new char and quite enjoying it. Hit 70 and made a swap to CI and realized I don't have a clue how to sustain cyclone without blood magic. I'm sure it's been answered before but haven't had time to run through all 169 pages so I apologize. I've heard an option is Elreon rings but I've seen other people manage without it. Any suggestions?
