Keep 'em coming!

I was considering making a much tankier build that I think can hit 100% phys taken converted to ele/chaos with a 2 mod watcher's eye + purity of elements. That seems like it would be pretty ridiculous, but more life + getting up to a base of 7-8 life flask charges per 3 seconds(3 from ascendancy, 4 from cluster, maybe 1 from tree), while completely killing the dmg, sounds pretty amusing to me.

Have you tried something like this? With totems for increased boss damage as long as you don't die I think it is viable, but would be much closer to a juggernaut than our current sky-high dps.

Build update:

- Added Corrupted Soul build variation. This variation combines the ehp of Divine Flesh and damage of Strength of Blood (while being slightly weaker to chaos damage)

So I tested this setup in game and it is cracked, I am enjoying it a lot, the double recovery for life + es at once is also hillarious.

Do you find you have mana issues without the flask with -mana craft?

Also, could we drop focused ballista and replace it with withering touch if we use an artillery quiver for the 30% totem placement? Or is this too slow you think?

Giga tank setup sounds def interesting but idk if it would be super viable, maybe with transcendence.

Mana sustain is alright, I can still charge to 5 in combat, kind of annoying out of combat but whatever.

I wouldnt drop Focused Ballista, if anything drop other damage support. Focused Ballista by itself is rly good damage support so no reason to drop it.

I see, I thought focused ballista was more for utility than damage but apparently that's wrong. Thanks again!

I'm thinking about going with a Malevolence Aul and watchers eye with ES on hit (like you mentioned) and dot multi. Expensive, but should be a damage boost.

Any tips on getting a decent grasping mail other than yolo annuling them?

I want to try and get one with just global defences, craft prefixes cannot be changed, scour, then craft Life and % max life on it. My overall health is pretty low (3.9k) because there's no room for it on my helm or boots :(
