Looks really promising to be honest. Really hope it works as you expect.
Do you think you'll be updating PoB before the league starts ? I'll keep an eye out on this variant for sure :)

Me too, haha. I just made an update, which should be the last before the league start. It's not min-maxed in its current stage but should be a good base for starting off. Yeah, I'll be starting an Ascendant version to see how things work out (specifically so that I can get the gems right away) and will update as I explore the build. It should be incredibly strong, but slightly awkward due to the nature of having to turn on the Corrupting Blood buff at the start of each map.

Overall I think Ascendant will be more versatile, but Trickster might be better in the long run- or maybe another Ascendancy altogether.

hit us up when u finish your ascendant version !

thanks for the build, do you have your updated POB with Ascendant?

Corrupting fever cast every map is exactly the same as Blood Rage. Don't think it's a huge issue, my question is does KB explosion apply the corrupted blood stacks.
I know that kb explosion applies poisons, flame wall secondary debuff as well, never tried corrupting blood though.
Also this doesn't look like a super good starter, cause it requires a physical wand. With the recent Harvest changes they might be more expensive.

Just a few thoughts, worries I have. But I also wanna play Exsanguinate, the skill is literally why I'm even coming back for this league.

Also what do u think of bleeds glad for this?

Man I was pondering about Cyclone CwC Exsanguinate build but yours is way more robust option. You just made my starter! Gods speed us all :D

KB hits for sure. No reason why it should not work.

No it doesn't work that way. Main damage comes from DoT portion of spells. Spellslinger adds wand damage only to hit portion. Basically works like Cold DoT slinger. So only wand spell damage attribute is important. Also any DoT attribute is huge.

I like this and will probably try something like it. One think I will look for is boots of the Elder for the;
(10-15)% increased Skill Effect Duration
Socketed Gems are Supported by Level 15 Increased Duration

i love the idea of this build and will most likely end up playing it as my league start but i have a question, how are we maintaining the corrupting fever buff? because if were circumventing the life cost with with spellslinger we'll need to constantly re-up the corrupting fever, which at base only 6 seconds of duration and can be trouble some if every 6 seconds were taking 520 damage.

I'm playing a much more defensive version on the Ascendant, so it will have a lot less damage than the trickster- and it is definitely not optimized.

You can also use an Essence of Delirium on the gloves for a "Socketed Gem Deals 30% more damage over Time", which is probably what I'll be running with my exstanguinate setup.

With this said, I didn't realize there aren't many good support gems for Corrupting Fever, so it may be worth swapping the 6L back to Exstanguinate and Corrupting Fever to gloves.

Uptime on the Corrupting Fever won't be an issue since you'll be refreshing the buff through the cost of Kinetic Blast. Kinetic Blast is intentionally linked to the new blood magic (Lifetap) to ensure you have a life cost somewhere to refresh Corrupting Fever, but isn't as expensive as it normally would cost to turn on Corrupting Fever or cast Reap/Exsanguinate.

ahh alright i see, haven't delved much into LL builds or life costing builds but thanks for the clarification, can't wait to see how the build plays and turns out tomorrow.
