PoE Chaos Inoculation builds with custom stat filters

Hello everyone, I have been playing FR CI for a good portion of this league but am still learning a lot in regards to PoB and Poeninja. With this said I do not understand two things in this regard and was wondering if someone could help explain these in-depth to me. 1) Why are they playing Bottled Faith? 2) Why are they using Awakened Added Chaos Damage vs Increased Critical Damage? This is my current PoB and I have spent many hours effectively simming these two options. My current thought process is the following:

weapon is bad, the spell mod is useless. the fire dmg unveil would be much better overall &x200B; This is the crit version of the phantasmal creation unearth build. Gryph has a good guide for it, definitely go check it out!

I have pulled out the cost of my rares from Client.txt and I thought this could be interesting maybe? Usually build guides are pretty vague on costs. I followed mostly this comment in pivoting to CI, my version is forget the zombies they are not required just a nicety, I could squeeze them in because I got insanely lucky when I double corrupted my shield.

Hello, I've seen a lot of folks trying to make a CoC FR and I want to share some knowledge about the exact stat values you want to strive for. I think people understand the theory behind how cast on crit works but maybe don't have a mental picture of what that translates to stat requirement wise. I know there are many excellent guides out there and I would defer to them where possible. I want to crunch some numbers for you guys to digest but I apologize in advance for any inaccurate information (feedback welcome). &x200B; I just want to make it clear: I'm not saying these stats are

I've decided that I want to try and get to wave 30 for the first time but every time I get to wave 25-26ish I seem to hit a wall with either getting blow up too quickly or (more commonly) running into a boss that I pretty much can't damage. Does anyone else who has run into this problem know if this a just a problem I need to play better around or am I missing something. &x200B; My Build CoC FR:
