Cast Speed Fundamentals
Made by Cast Speed MaxDPS This is the cast speed you want to aim for, getting this cast speed means no more dps increase on getting more cast speed. @Silenth Try to make this your bossing cast speed (e.g. no mapping buffs).
Cast Speed Hardcap This is the cast speed that is the maximum you should have at any point. If you have this cast speed, and you go over it with Onslaught for example, you will cast faster than vixen cooldown which can cause your damage to halve. Do NOT go over this cast speed at any point.
Breakpoints? There are no breakpoints except for 80-88% cdr, breakpoints are a lie because your max cast speed is mostly capped by doom blast, Which has a cooldown that recovers even in between server ticks.

#1 My first cast does not damage enemies?
You lack some cast speed, what happens is that your first vixen's curse will apply before your impending doom curse which makes your main curse not overridden on the first cast. A quick fix is to socket in a faster casting support gem.
#2 How should I socket my curses, what should my main curse be?
There is an active curse cycle, to explain this we name the curse you self cast the main curse and the vixen curses 1, 2 and 3 based on the clockwise order they appear in the gem links. Your main curse and curse 1 will ping pong between eachother. First your main curse will curse the enemy, then curse 1, 2 and 3. Curse 3 will kick off your main curse. Then you cast your main curse again. This throws off the oldest curse which is curse 1. The result is that you should put the curses you want 100% uptime on curse 2 and 3. The curse you want to linger after you stop attacking should be on your main curse, 2 and 3. What you do here is up to you but I would recommend despair and temporal chains as curse 2 and 3 for maximum damage, then enfeeble on your main curse for lingering defences.
