[3.25] CWDT Ward Loop Scion
|
Storing this guide here for standard, the main post will focus on the league.
This guild will teach you how to craft and make the most amazing build in POE.
3.25 Change
The Olroth's flask got a double nerf. Build is significantly weaker now. Still works for chill farming. Use Corrupted Flask only for high budget builds. Also don't forget to enchant your flask before you corrupt it

Network Mode Lockstep
Change this option to Lockstep Go to main menu and change this, this is very important Without this option, the loop will miss casts and slow down, less dps 
How The Build Works
When you take 3272 damage, Level 20 CWDT gem will cast all the spell gems linked to it. Our goal is to take 3272 damage every 0.2 seconds and not die. Expedition items have Ward. Ward will absorb the damage done to you If you have 1500 ward, and a monster hits you for 2000, only 500 damage will go to life and your ward will disappear, it breaks. Ward will be recharged after 5 seconds Olroth's flask When this flask is on, your ward will not break/disappear The goal is to permanently have Olroth's flask effect Permanent Olroth's flask effect So we want to have Olroth's permanently on, to do this we use Brutal Restraint The Traitor https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/The_Traitor_(keystone_passive) Using the traitor keystone and 1 cluster jewels which give us high flask duration, we can get permanent Olroth's effect The traitor keystone works when you have 2 empty flask slots, means you can only use 3 flasks. You can use 4 flasks at high budget, but we need at least 1 empty flask slot Heartbound loop ring explained We Summon Skeletons, and when a skeleton dies, the ring will do 420 damage to you. This damage will be absorbed by Ward Forbidden Rite is a skill that will deal damage to you on cast If you cast Forbidden Rite 4 times, you will die by suicide, it does a lot of damage But as long as your ward is more than Forbidden Rite self-damage, you will take no hit to life pool. Ward will absorb the damage. To Dust Jewel + Reduced Skill Duration Effect Summoned Skeletons last for 20 seconds, this is not useful. We will use To Dust and Reduced Skill Duration on passive tree to make Skeletons last only 0.2 seconds Skeletons die every 0.2 seconds and deal damage to you because of Heartbound Ring and then trigger CWDT gem. We cast spells every 0.2 seconds! This is about 5 casts per second. This is crazy high cast speed.
Leveling Guide
Hollow Palm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trV1NWfCx_4 Totem Build https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3146104 You can follow any Scion build to level up. See the Scion forums.

Olroth's Resolve Flask
Olroth's Resolve
Buy a flask and make it 20% quality. No need to corrupt it for low budget builds. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Necropolis/kGQddJKT5 Its extremely important to use Herbalist Tattoo. Check PoB on where to apply the tattoo, its below Scion Area, near Ranger area. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Necropolis/P98GPJJFL Check flask uptime using the calculator https://returnx.github.io/cwdt/ The best Olroth's Roll is 42 or less increased flask charges used. It will say at the top 56 charges consumed on use. This is the best. Get the best roll if you a high budget. Otherwise you stick to something with 47% or less. However the calculator should help with any roll.
To Dust Jewel
Filtered for 14 and above, remove filter if you want something different. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/Q2gVZKOHw We will buy 4 To Dust The total "Reduced Skeleton Duration" should added up to 74% exact, no more, no less.

More Jewels
Brutal restraint
The number does not matter for now, its a future upgrade. It must be Balbala. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/ypmdYKWiR Buy this and put it in your tree and check all affected notables. Make sure your Jewel does not grant you Alchemist's Genius buff, this buff will reduce your ward and stop the loop. Its pretty rare, if you have it, simply buy a new one. Flask effect duration jewel In 3.20 Flask mastery got removed, so we will need at least one jewel with increased flask effect duration modifier If your Olroth's flask is not always on, then use two of these jewels. Jewels, Resistance This will help you cap resistance, you can get % life and also cold damage or ele damage. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/GerDvOTb With life % https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sentinel/4e08MS9 Jewels, damage If you are res capped, you can use these https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/9VEgDPySK

Flask clusters We need 1 of these clusters, both of them are correct, you can buy any of these examples 25 effect and Distilled Perfection both are equal. Fasting + 25 effect Fasting + Distilled perfection Crafting - Buy the following base, level 50+, 6 passives. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Crucible/3e9rZ20u5 Once you buy it, just use chaos orbs.

Rings

Amulet
Rare Amulet like this https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Crucible/gDpE37KiQ if they are expensive, buy the following.

Weapon
The best choice is The Annihilating staff The Annihilating staff Buy a 5-link if you cannot afford 6-link Other options available, not recommended, unless you are very low on budget and cannot cap your resistances. This staff penalizes your resistances heavily. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/kJpPDpWc5 Duskdawn This item can be crafted for 15c vendor recipe, see the wiki on how to craft it https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Duskdawn Cane of kulemak https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/zv9dJXqs4 Rare staff 6-link with essence

Skeleton Gems
These are gem links when using 2 heartbound loop rings Summon Skeleton It should be level 11 You can vendor the gem with Scouring orb to reduce level https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/BJLZOqjS8 Don't Level Up Gems in helm, keep them fixed at the same level CWDT level 5 https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/V5rvnDrup Summon skeleton level 11 - Forbidden rite 1 - Cast When Damage taken 5 The levels of these gems should be fixed, do not level it up CWDT must be 5, skeleton must be fixed at 11 Don't change these in the helm, or else you need to do math
Gem links
3.23 Updated Gem CWDT Levels If you are using Skin of the loyal, CWDT in body armor will be level 19. If you are using Skin of the lords, CWDT in body armor will be level 18. Gem links are flexible Mandatory - Ice Spear + GMP + CWDT Other Gems - Red Inspiration Cruelty Empower Green Cold Penetration Added Cold Damage Hypothermia Blue Creeping Frost Increased Crit Damage Awakened Elemental focus is not recommend, it will disable freeze from Ice Spear. You can use any gem link that you can get your hands on. Hypothermia, Awakened Cold Penetration, Awakened Added Cold Damage, Empower, Increased Critical Hit Damage.
CWDT Gems
Cast When Damage Taken - Body Armor It should be 19/20 for Skin of the Loyal It should be 18/20 for Skin of the Lords Reason is Skin of the lords has +2 CWDT should never go above level 20, if you make CWDT level 21, build will fail. Also don't link CWDT gem to Righteous fire, flame dash or phase run Make gloves 3-link and use Righteous fire in gloves Or use RF 21 in gloves, that way CWDT 20 won't tirgger RF
Helm and glove Implicits
See POB please, just spam greater ichor and lesser ember till you get it
Gloves - Cold exposure with Greater ichor, and lesser ember for unnerve Helmet - Spell damage with ichor and ember for lightning damage. Blue Ichors - Shock Reduction is great on helm. Along with Small Pantheon Garukhan you can be shock immune. Use Red Embers - Also some builds use Phys Damage Taken recouped as Mana. Red Embers - You can go with Damage to cold spells or increased effect of frostbite curse in 500 divines version. Also lightning damage on helm implicit will help to shock enemies.
Life And Chaos Resistance Calculator
https://returnx.github.io/cwdt/ But most budget builds can get only 1150 ward, mid-tier 1250, top-tier 1350 Forbidden Rite does a lot of damage. To reduce forbidden rite damage, we will crafting chaos resistance on items, or use tree/jewels. Use this calculator to balance your life pool and chaos resistance. The more life you have, the more chaos resistance you will need. Otherwise you kill yourself. If you have 3k life and -60 chaos, you will die by suicide. Play with the calculator for your build. For the One Ring Upgrade, you will want more than 1250 ward, so watch out when crafting your items. And use the calculator.
Flasks
Very important - Use only 3 flasks with Brutal Restraint Traitor, 4 if you have high budget If you have a problem with resistances, the use Bismuth flask and a quick silver flask with additional resistance suffix Resistance and curse reduction flask https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sentinel/3X3Mn8kF5 https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sentinel/v4k7JaDHE In this build you can only use 3 flasks not use more than 3. You will die if you use more than 3 flasks Pantheon is very important
Pantheon
Soul of Brine King Soul of Yugul - Curse reduction Soul of Garukhan - Shock reduction Other Pantheon options will brick the build
Second slot weapon swap
Buy 2 Wands from Act 1 Nessa And use Essence of insanity https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/exchange/Sanctum/ZKd7fQ You can put cast when damage taken and portal in 2nd weapon
Start Stop Loop
Swap weapons to start, Press X
To stop remove belt and put it back on Or you can remove helm for one second
Map mods
You can do reflect and no regen maps Works Elemental reflect - you are reflect immune No Regen - We don't use regen, we use recoup Warning 60% less Recovery Rate of Life and Energy Shield For these maps, disable RF, blood rage Try to get ignite immunity and corrupted blood immunity for these maps CANNOT DO - RED ALERT Reduced cooldown recovery rate Reduced flask charges gained Mana problem, two or more swaps to start loop
Mana problem
Mana issues -- you require multiple swaps to start loop Zero, Did you forget mana recoup nodes on your tree? First, If your ward is low and have Mind Over Matter allocated, then you will run out of Mana Remove Mind Over Matter You can use the calculator to check, Forbidden rite damage must be less than your ward with flask on Second, In your helmet, the first socket should be blue and put Summon skeleton is that socket Third, If you still have this problem, then put your skill gems in the last socket of weapon and body armour. The skill gems should not be first gem in weapon and body, put support gems first!

Make sure Traitor keystone is allocated in the passive tree with Balbala Timeless Jewel 7. Check if Pathfinder ascendancy is allocated 8. Olroth's flask enchant should be "Reused at end of flask effect"
Upgrades More
Priority List of upgrades 1. Gem Quality Make gems 20% quality 2. Weapon Enchant Get the harvest weapon enchant which gives 1% elemental damage per 2% quality Make your weapon 20% quality or 30% quality using TFT Hillock Service or farm it yourself from Betrayal Jun Missions. 3. Awakened Gems Awakened Cold Penetration Awakened Added Cold damage Level these gems to at least level 3-4 quickly. You can use the harvest beast Wild Brambleback to level them up. 4. Level 100 Get to level 100 using 5-way carry This is the best upgrade you can do, more passive points is more damage 6. Amulet Catalyst the Amulet if you haven't done already, Turbulent catalyst on The Pandmonious Change anoint to Whispers of Doom and use Frostbite Curse If you don't find Sigil of Power useful, just remove that. You can go for a +2 Rare Amulet or Ashes of the Stars with Whispers of the Doom. You will soon see that +1 to all skill gems is required when you switch to Rare Ring.

Spoiler
Rare Ring
3.23 Requirements for Rare ring Level 20 Summon Skeletons, two options 1. Using +1 to all skill amulet 2. Using Empower level 2 support 3. Buy Level 20 Summon Skeletons Ward Recommended - 1270 or more It will work with 1100 ward as well, but you will take damage to your life. Budget Example Gem links Helm Level 20 Summon Skeletons + CWDT 20/20 + Empower Support 2 Gloves/Boots Forbidden rite 1 + Normal CWDT 12 High Budget Amulet, +1 to all skill gems Helm Level 20 Summon Skeletons + Level 20 Cast When Damage Taken + Snipers Mark Gloves/Boots Forbidden rite 1 + Normal CWDT 12 Use the calculator to adjust life and chaos resistance. You also want more than 1200 ward. Examples, unset ring is the best
Dying Sun
Once you have high resistances using rare ring, time to buy Dying Sun I want to stress an important point, for you to be able to use Dying Sun, you also need good suffixes on your helm/gloves/boots. High resistance suffix, this way you can remove Bismuth flask and use Dying Sun.
Empower 4 and gems
Just buy Empower 4 support and upgrade all your gems if you haven't yet.
Awakened GMP
This is a lot of damage, buy this if you can
Watcher's Eye
Hatred critical - You can attempt to divine for more than +1.5 https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/MQQLMTJ
Forbidden Flame and Flesh
Deadeye is the best, or you can buy pathfinder and use deadeye in the tree. Inquisitor is a good option Occultist if you can fit another curse.
Omniscience
Switch to Omni when you have more than 100 divines. You will need to remake all your items and also change your tree and cluster. Crystallised Omniscience Buy Unnatural instinct as well with this ugprade It goes here, make sure to change the tree pathing.  With the amulet updated, you need to change your helm and gloves to have attributes instead of resistances Omni Helmet Craft Dex on it in the suffix https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/zv9Zkmvc4 Omni gloves dex/int Crafted Int on it in suffix https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sanctum/6392k50HG That's all folks for now.

The idea behind this guide is to make it as easy and simple as possible.
So we stick to a very reliable setup. I did around 35 cwdt builds for other people and in my experience this setup is as reliable it gets. Once you grasp the build, then its open for upgrades. This should help new players to take the leap of faith and try the build. This is the biggest hurdle. For facetaking do occultist I actually have an occutlist with 4k life and 1.9k ward and also 20% damage reduction from ascendancy and high block. Also -22 chaos resistance. Its much more tankier than scion. |

" Could you elaborate on the differences in gear required if I were to do Occultist instead? I've been putting gear together on the side and have an already-leveled Occultist it would be nice to respec. I found your character and it's passive tree, but I assume the breakpoints/pantheon/etc. would be different. Thanks for the help and the guide! |

hi there mate, i wonder if you can help me. I just came back from a hiatus and was amazed with this build. However, i only looked on poe ninja for the layout of skills and items and cant get mine to loop. Wonder if you can help me. DO i need to change/add something?

Thank you very much OP for the simple to follow guide. I've been meaning to try out CWDT Ward Loop but was holding off till next league, as I was already burnt out from this league. Your guide changed my mind and I'm happily blasting away so thanks.
Would be pretty good if you can add an upgrades section to discuss opportunities for defensive and offensive upgrades. Things that I briefly considered were how to get more ward and life, annihilating light for more dps, going for the 27% cdr breakpoint, using only 1 heartbound loop, forbidden flame/flesh options, etc. |

Could you please post a lvl80 tree? Thanks!

" @lolonnais Need to allocate at least 2 life recoup nodes near the Intuitive loop Am surprise the build even works for you. " I saw the pob, lots of issues. I will guide you to 9% CDR, not high budget 27% cdr. Look at my guide and use that to buy a belt. See the belt section. To Dust Jewels should be, 20, 20, 19. The Skeleton duration, first mod in jewel. Gems in helm must be Anomalous Skeleton Level 11 - Forbidden rite 1 - Minion speed anomalous quality 20 - CWDT 5 That's it, your build should work.
