I've got this slowly up and running with the below setup-- transferred over from SSF to finish challenges so my crafting bench is all sorts of fucked, but I was able to turn on Leadership's price with the below gear:

.

I've got the dual cluster setup going, 2x Threads, my only gripe at the moment is the mana seems completely unsustainable without multiple pieces of gear that have flat mana gained on hit, leech doesn't seem it would be fast enough without rate. I can't see where we'd have the budget for that roll on the gear as is though, how are you guys dealing with that? Each VD cast is 50 mana with my gear and desecrate is a little under 30. Ignore the Channeling mana skills craft on the ring, that was from the previous summoner build I was running for a CWC Desecrate setup. Even with 2x -Cost for Non Channeling Skills, I think we'd still be at ~35 mana per cast on VD.

Build is definitely strong and tanky, just mechanically it feels like there's gotta be something I'm missing here.

I suck at crafting, i got this

by spamming some chaos on it, out of sheer boredom. I wonder, since i used 10+ horrors on it and never got lucky with conc effect mod. Would this suffice? Do we even need hypothermia?

Im not looking for a perfect mirror tier helmet, but just one who is good enough for "normal" endgame like A8 Sirus and uber bosses.

thanks, mapping feels smooth, just the single target seems to be lacking a bit. Could just be the mechanic behin arcanist brand.

Sometimes i produce corpes and use the other arcanist setup, but it doesnt spawn orbs for some reason. It happends rarley, but still.

(helm has anamolous VD and awakened Cascade on it, they are being leveled in my elehit atm)

Finally made the item that I want, how should I "finish" it. Should I risk it and try to slam life and craft more area of effect, or block life and just roll an exalt from bestiary. In my point of view, for this build, this helm does not need crit mod. (but crit mod adds such an high value on the helm if you wanna sell it for some reason)

The build has so high damage and very tanky! But I didn't like map clearing with it. So slow for my taste. I am using my elehit for the clear and do the hard contents with this one.

I should mention that I don't have an explody chest. I have tried it with an explody chest, it didn't improve much for me. The packs did die in nearly exactly same time.

Big thanks @primaeva for sharing such a build!
