I think I finally "completed" the build :D

Here's my current gear:

I don't see much many possibilities to improve in terms of gear. The only improvements left would be all 21/20 gems, helmet enchant (working on it) and +1 to all gems Perfect Form (working on that as well, already bricked 1 6link Perfect Form :()
I'm not sure if it is possible to essence craft shaped rings to get both +% chaos damage and +% spell damage on them (considering both are suffixes that would also make it harder to get the resistances done - I'm currently sitting at 100, 142, 95, -8 resistances, obviously stacked as much cold res as possible to abuse Perfect Form).
There is also the option to get a +1 to curses Impresence and squeeze in Temporal Chains as a more defensive option (and loose Clear Mind in the process), but I think the build is tanky enough (I'm at 15% phys reduction, 38% chance to evade, 5% chance to dodge attacks and 35% chance to dodge spells - that's before any flask effects). So far cleared all content except for Uber Atziri (didn't try her yet, will get to it).

Here is the PoB link for those who are interested:

@inB4, you can consider it as a single target filler, yes. None of our other DoTs can stack, so against bosses we don't really have anything to do for 5-6 seconds unless you channel Blight.

@Palaryel, nice gear! With no reservation, what is your mana/hp levels at? I guess you have been able to drop some mana nodes from the tree not running a curse off mana. Really tempting to just run Despair, but I would be smacked down to standard before I realized what was going on.

After all, we use double curse or not?

Like Blasphemy Temp Chains and Despair on Witchfire brew or maybe Impresence?

I gave LL setup a go yesterday to see if I would make it work. I posted it a page or so back, but can repost the setup I ended up with:

With this setup I was able to reach max stack of both Wither and Blight, and for 3.1 you could swap out Enfeeble with Despair. Note that most of this stuff is legacy gear. Even though it is not tripple t1 prefixes across the board, it is still rather good. Realistically, you will not get much more ES than we have EHP with the MoM build with current ES gear, and due to the high requirement in prefixes for ES, my damage was nearly the same (no spell damage on shield for instance). I should rewrite the LL part of the guide to emphasize that it really is for those with infinite currency, as even last league when I was sitting at over 100 ex, I did not want to reroll LL.
