Pretty new to all this stuff, I was just wondering why in the passive guide it takes the 0 mana passive, and in all videos it's not taken? Wouldn't be 25% life be stupid risky?

Your build makes a lot of claims about being scaleable, viable on budget, etc etc. "-Can start on a budget, a good league starter too" Yet the common complaint seems to be a lack of viability without your mid-range gear, which is crazy expensive.

Kaom's is 190c in Synthesis
A really shitty helm, with the two requirements is 45c
Grelwoods are 40c
Watcher Eye with Anger mod is 40c
Cinderswallow 15c
Tombfist w/ 2x Abyssal 300c

So you are pitching an easily scaleable build which only really achieves close to what you are promising with nearly 4-5 exalts worth of investment.

You might want to add a tag somewhere in the pros/cons that the build is marginal on a budget, but can scale well with unlimited or high-end budgets, to avoid some of the backlash/bait-switch that is occurring.

the only thing occurring is that people like to complain.
they see the word "budget" in a sentence and completely ignore anything else they read.
when they hear "budget" they only think about a 5C build that can one-shot shaper.

thats not how things work sadly.
sure you can make a build with tons of damage for very low currency, but what about everything else?
survive-abiliy? versatility? QOL?...
cuz that budget build will do extremely good at shaper, but will be a cancer to play for anything else.


when you read: "Can start on a budget, a good league starter too" what you should understand is that the build can start without the end-game gear and work its way towards those items.
unlike builds that REQUIRE you to have some items for the build to even work (flicker strike, Cast On Crit etc..).
which in turns mean that it can be a league starter too.

until you can afford the core items you can use any chest, helmet, sword, gloves an so on.

also, by mentioning cinderswallow and dual socket tombfists you just show us that you really dont know what you are talking about.
the flask isnt in the "main" gear section, its in the higher budget section.
and if its only 15c, why you cry about it so much? thats still cheap.
about the gloves- it says in the guide that you dont need the dual socket.
its enough to have one socket for the intimidation debuff.


the funny thing is that NONE of the guys that "complained" about the gear being expensive actually tried to use the budget options, or even the non-GG ones.

i mean, people come here and bitch about a 7L helmet with a legacy enchant being expensive and they cant get it so the build is "broken" and "unplayable" without it.
OFCOURSE its expensive, its a GG item!
but you dont need the 7L nor the enchant to do end-game content, i just min\maxed mine and showed an option for people that are willing to spend more on the build.
i did shaper easily with so much worse items..


please show me a build that can facetank content with brain-less playstyle like mine for the same amount of currency.
