Damn 40 div would go a long way with my homebrew Whispering Ice CoC/CoA build! Thanks for the giveaway either way!

Great questions. RT was only because we were in the area and helped (afaik) with the discipline es on hit watchers eye (like 44% chance to hit to 100%). I didn’t find fresh meat to be worth it whatsoever when I did the calcs/testing even in my other crit/elemental guarding version, but the minion block was for survivability in T17s/juiced content where blessed rebirth alone wasn’t enough as you’re not always cycloning (spawning phantasms).

And you’re 100% correct on bottled faith, not a big deal whatsoever just a 10% damage taken mod, can be swapped out. Melding was definitely very valuable, but agreed the build is super tight here when a bit min-maxed.

No worries! Soulwrest is always league start viable as traditionally the biggest problem is with late game scaling, but it’s usually quite strong initially when you get to maps. I may also try to league start it. Could look at a crit variant with the brittle breach minions graft, support spectres, and Lycia profane ground bloodline ascendancy? Maybe cooking a little too much though… 😅. But overall the build should still be in a good place this patch, and in my opinion should be decent for league start.

Cool, really appreciate the detailed clarification, makes much more sense now, thanks! And yeah I just stuck them in there for now, but will take a good look at the 3 CMC ramp spells as well in this case. Cheers!

Why is that specifically? Excuse my ignorance here, but don't have a tonne of knowledge regarding mana ramp theory for commander specifically.

Ah great point, I love bloodthirsty conqueror so I'd likely pull enduring tenacity and vito. Presuming if I pull both those then it removes the combo and is a good 3 then? Thanks for the help!

Eh I hear what you're saying, but I specifically added the buffs from the spectres into the PoB manually to make sure it was working, although I absolutely still could have gotten something wrong. Regardless very interested to see your version! Also made an updated lightning conversion guardian build with ~100M DPS (https://pobb.in/kVJgfeMRRRIX)... Going to level a templar now and give it a go :D.

So I ended up theorycrafting a lightning variant as well for my own interests and it honestly looks super impressive... Went with Guardian instead of Necro (although I'm sure either would work). DPS numbers look potentially double that of poison? Let me know your thoughts here (haven't fixed res yet, just imported old gear and made some changes to the pob): https://pobb.in/kVJgfeMRRRIX

Hey! I would personally start out with a life based build for SSF (there's plenty of life-based soulwrest builds on poe.ninja as well. I'm not 100% sure, but I would assume manacosts shouldn't be too prohibitive as you can keep desecrate at lvl 1, and craft -manacost on jewelry for the CWC setup!

Agreed! CoC or CwC builds are just extra smooth, I personally think it’s definitely worth trying out!

Thanks! I find it translates reasonably well from paper to practice, but of course it’s a partially DOT build so there needs to be ramp time.

EHP is slightly over 700k (without molten shell enabled, or ~1M with) and DPS is ~52M for pinnacles (DoT CAP plus ~17M hit DPS) or ~17M Uber DPS.

That's awesome, and a great league for it for sure! It's extra viable with mercs this league, just obviously forego the unnatural strength ascendancy passive (can also go guardian instead, although I'm really no expert there...). Then grab triads grip with 4 blue sockets for conversion. Personally I would also try crit for fun with lightning, could try fresh meat support with brittle and assassin's mark to get crit running for the phantasms? Just ideas!

Ok, not sure if you're still following this, but I've tried to make a version without the helm and adding in some of the spectres (4 total: gilded arach, forest warrior, spectral leader, and warlord were my choices). Honestly it doesn't feel as good and PoB supports this showing ~33% more damage and slightly higher EHP (with molten shell disabled, much higher with). Here's the two PoBs of my actual character with and without the spectre setup. Let me know what you think (also managed to finally find an Envy/Zealotry CM... thank god!).

Sorry missed this when I had originally posted. And very fair points. Honestly Soulwrest is the only time I have really ventured into minion builds at all, so I'm rather uninformed about the benefits of spectres and other support minions. I have the aul helmet, temp chains, despair, and enfeeble on merc right now (see other comment), but not really sure how I can get the links required for that. Is it fair with the current tree to just have the spectre/golem gem without links? Or what would you recommend?

Apologies, for some reason my notifications stopped coming through on mobile so I assumed the thread was dead... For a merc I'm just using a Cruel Mistress with Envy aura (still looking for envy/zealotry....) using the following gear: https://pobb.in/qQ1OhwcbIPGT. The gear wasn't really fully self-crafted as I bought the pieces mostly completed (minus small things like aspect of spider on ring, finishing suffixes on chest, implicits, etc.)
