3.10 - Empty's Harbinger of Malice

Greetings and salutations exiles!

I've been having a lot of fun this league with one of my favorite uniques, Cospri's Malice, and wanted to share the build, for those who might be interested.

@LostArts - Thank you for the awesome unique(s)
@ZedAlmostSane - Thank you for the build inspiration
@CaptainLance9 - Thank you for helping this broken build get past the nerf

Goal:
Create a fun, mobile, reasonably defensive build with bonkers damage and enjoy it while it lasts.
Mission accomplished.

Notes
- It looks like I'm over reserving ... I'm not, it works somehow
- I actually only have 7.1k ES, not the 8k POB thinks I do


Pros and Cons:
Pros
- Solid clear speed and single target DPS
- High effective health and layered defenses
- Lots of pleasing shattering sounds
- Get to run Haste :)
- No leech isn't an issue

Cons
- NOT immortal
- Cannot run reflect elemental or reflect physical
- No regen is a bad idea (unless you have +Mana on hit)

Gear and Uniques

Notes on Gear
- Corruption on Cospri's is totally not necessary
- 1% reduced reservation on gems is very helpful
- Helm enchant is flexible, but needs to be one of the mana reservation enchants
- Frozen trail needs to be placed in a tree slot, not on a cluster
- Need at least two cluster jewels with Heraldry to have enough reservation for everything
- Can sub in Enlighten and additional Heraldry jewels to make up for not having an enchant
- Can swap Presence of Chayula for an Astramentis to hit stat requirements, but does make it a lot harder to get Chaos resistance

Priorities on Upgrades
- Useful corruptions on Cospri's (Fortify/Ele Pen/Crit/Attack Speed/etc)
- ES on Hit Watcher's Eye is great quality of life

Gems and Links

Spoiler
Body Armour - Cyclone - Cast on Critical Strike - Increased Critical Strikes - Inspiration - Ice Nova - Arc/Glacial Cascade
Note - Arc is GREAT for pack clear, while Glacial Cascade is excellent for single target

Our attacks per second will completely blow past the CDR limits on CoC, so it is very worthwhile to use two spells


Choices available:
- CWDT is optional. I'll probably swap Withering Step for Molten Shell when I can get the colors
- I previously had an Ice Golem level 20 on CWDT for the extra crit chance
- You can squeeze in a low level Arcane Surge on Flame Dash if you skip CWDT
- LOTS of useful Watcher's Eyes out there

Leveling -
Spoiler
- I leveled with Storm Brand, Orb of Storms and Wave of Conviction and bee-lined for the cluster jewel locations. Leveling is ROUGH, and not Hardcore friendly
