lightining warp + Culling Strike stormweaver build (WIP)

At the start of this league I set a goal of trying to min - max this combo because I saw potential in it and I like lighting warp a lot.

For science sake here is the video. My build has approximately 140% - 150% culling strike against normal mobs scaling down for magic, rare and unique mobs.

I’m liking the results but since I depend on at least 3 uniques the build struggles to get enough ES to be safe from one shots. Also single target damage could be improved. I’m on level 89 in this video.

Don’t sleep on Perfect Essence of Ruin

If you’re running a CI build or a no-ES build (armor or EB/MoM), this perfect essence modifier may do more for your build than the hybrid modifier on your chest. 15% physical taken as chaos is an enormous reduction to physical damage when you have good chaos mitigation. For me, I am a Chayula with 90% chaos resist thanks to ATD.

Build Theory: Blackflame Incinerate Infinite DPS Autobomber

[Based off this concept of using invulnerable Unearth minions.](https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile2builds/comments/1nquubx/chaos_walking_simulator/) Since Blackflame turns Incinerate's Ignite into a Chaos DoT and Contagion-afflicted minions can proliferate all Chaos DoTs (not just ED), in theory the Compounding ignite stacking people are doing with Oil Grenade should work here too. This could be one of the fastest builds in the game, especially with how many instances of damage we should be getting. The new minion support from passives and gems make them faster, and they are already invulnerable with Brutus' Brain (which does not block their Contagion-touch from dealing damage). The issue will be solving single target (since we won't have Contagion'd minions during solo fights or fights with long downtime), which may be as simple as just running a Crossbow on Set 2. Class and gear options are pretty open. Lich, Oracle, PF and Varashta may be good immediate picks. If someone tests this before I get the chance, I'd like to know how it goes.

I have a [new character creation] problem

That about sums it up. So far I have made: oracle (ice wolf, plant, reap, choir, coc comet), shaman (bear), varashta (djinn/minion, plant, whirling assault), stormweaver (infusion), blood mage (coc comet, blood spear), pathfinder (poison, ice lance), titan (whirling assault, ember fusillade), smith of kitava (whirling assault), mercenary (crossbow) Fully admitting I have a problem. With that embraced, any ideas on what to go for next?
