Edit #2: Even tho I'm using

with the jackpot corrupt I got on it, it's in no way needed for the build.



This is a build I'm currently running in Tempest League at level 87(at the time of writing this guide) and seems to be working fairly well so I thought I'd share it with other people so they get to enjoy the amazingness that is Cast on Crit without having to pay themselves sick to do it.



I switched to using the build as early as level 66 with just random 2-5 chaos daggers I bought from people and a tabula rasa, at that time my crit was already over 90% with three power charges up and still having three crit nodes I hadn't taken and reaching 110 mill exp/hr while farming dried lake in Merciless.(I'm still missing Depth Perception and thinking of cutting it from my tree completely, honestly it's just over kill).



For those worried about reflect, it currently hasn't been a problem in any way with permanent topaz flasks on.

The build is based around getting as much crit from the tree as possible while also maintaining a high life pool and getting a ton of strength to buff up your spells with the Iron Will gem(You might want this as a quality one). You might also want to run an Inertia Jewel on the Jewel socket right next to Hearthseeker to get more strength to buff up your Iron Will Gem.



You will want to run surgeon's prefix flasks on every flask but your health potions while mapping to have permanent buff flasks up(90+% uptime at the very least for me)

Base stats:

Spoiler -186% Increased Maximum Life(Can easily go over 200% on this by cutting down nodes).

-262 to maximum Life

-600% Crit from tree alone.

-4.3% Life Regen for blood rage

-368 Strength with Inertia Jewel socketed next to Heartseeker(Relevant because of Iron Will)

-213 Dexterity

-Acrobatics(Can pick up phase acro if you want to.)

-143 Intelligence with access to more if needed.

-3 Easy jewel sockets.







DPS Calculations:

Spoiler 0.95 attacks per second with cyclone + 90+% crit chance + 0.05 sec cd on Cast on Crit gem proccing = Too much math to do, this isn't a standard build so as long as it clears the whole screen and makes pretty colors I'm happy with it :)



Current tree(Many ways to optimize and hash out optimal things most likely, adjust as you see fit).:

Videos: Spoiler Uncut stream footage of running with both build variants, making more as I go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRXG3i2XzPM



Bandits:

Spoiler

Oak - Kill All - Kill all if going for discharge later, help kraityn for +1 frenzy if going the cheaper variant.





Leveling:

Spoiler

Just pick up the 2h damage nodes at duelist and marauder, maybe some of the 2h sword nodes near ranger, sweep until level 28 and then cyclone your way to 60(At this point make sure you have all the crit nodes after you use your regrets to get rid of the 2h nodes.)





Gem setup for the more expensive, rainbowdischarge and potentially more dangerous version:

Spoiler

5/6l Voll's Protector: Cast on Critical Strike - Cyclone - Iron Will - Discharge - Ice Nova - Shock Nova/Concentrated Effect(Haven't reached 6l voll's yet so this is pure speculation for the last link)

3l: Warlord's Mark - Curse on Hit - Herald of Thunder

3l: Ice Golem - Minion Life - Minion Resist Or Cast When Damage taken - Ice Golem - Warlords Mark

4l: Herald of Ice - Culling Strike - Innervate - Ice Bite/Rarity(Rarity is not necessary.)

4l: Whirling Blades - Blood Magic - Fortify - Faster Attacks

Add in Blood Rage, Arctic Armour and Cast When Damage Taken - Immortal Call as you see fit.





Gem setup for the cheaper and safer version:

Spoiler

6l: Cast on Critical Strike - Cyclone - Iron Will - Ice Nova - Shock Nova - Arc

3l: Assassin's Mark - Curse on Hit - Herald of Thunder

3l: Ice Golem - Minion Life - Minion Resist Or Cast When Damage taken - Ice Golem - Warlords Mark

4l: Herald of Ice - Culling Strike - Innervate - Ice Bite/Rarity(Rarity is not necessary.)

4l: Whirling Blades - Blood Magic - Fortify - Faster Attacks

Add in Blood Rage, Arctic Armour and Cast When Damage Taken - Immortal Call as you see fit.





Current gear I am using on the "safer" version of the build(Not optimal in any way, lacking STR from gear and my curse on hit is on warlords since I prefer the discharge variant.):
