[3.23] Lk's Cold DoT Ele [League-start to over 40m DoT] (Wildwood Primalist Update)
Been having a blast with the build, I have 18 divines sitting in the stash and I'm quite uncertain what I should aim for, I would appreciate if someone could look at my PoB and give me some suggestions, my goal is to die less especially when I go ham on the eldritch altars:

Chaos res is capped, I got tats on the passive tree.
Cheers!

That's the same calc i used....wonder why yours said use 1R, and mine was just straight chromatic?
(I missed it being corrupted, so needs vaals too, but....)
i believe OP mistakenly keyed in the requirements as the dex/int, which are the gem requirements, not the armour requirements.
given your armour is str based, it will be nigh-impossible to get 5 off colours. not to mention (as you've noticed), this is corrupted, meaning your best bet is to vorici 1B this, in 60 attempts (costing 240chromes+240vaals). tainted chromatics might subvert this, but it could be/get costly too.
edit: ok, not "nigh-impossible", since 12 str is a very low str requirement. but expected 60 attempts.

Yes, thanks for pointing out my error. It would be best to start with an INT requirement base. 240 chromatics + vaal costs ~140c atm.

We can use tainted crafting to turn bases with suitable corrupted implicits into 6L chests in a cheap manner. For the socket colours, you can use benchcraft if the base has an INT requirement. If the base does not have an INT requirement, getting the right colours will be difficult.

Glad to hear!
Suggested upgrades:
1. Reroll 2 flask suffixes for evasion and reduced curse effect (refer to the flask part of the guide)
2. I think a life flask with a partial instant heal effect will prevent some deaths? E.g. below.
3. Skin of the Loyal/Skin of the Lords will do a lot for defenses (4B 1G 1R + buy Empower 3/4)
4. Once you swap into Loyal/Lords, switch the +50 life mastery into 15% life (or get both if you level up)
5. Gems you should flip for 20% quality: Ele Weakness, Defiance Banner, Shield Charge, Faster Attacks, Flame Dash, Efficacy, Divine Blessing.
6. Buy lvl 21 Frostbite
7. Buy Awakened Ele Focus and Awakened Controlled Destruction
After all the above is done, I would look into Awakened Swift Affliction and purchasing levels.

reminder/note:
take +15% max life mastery only if you get a keystone on your SOTL that DOESN'T have the "life" tag. otherwise will not work.

Thank you! I went over everything but I'm just a few divines behind for the SOTL so I'm working on it, I bought everything else.
agree with OP here. we did extensive research on alternatives to cowards legacy. we had the same conclusion as you, which was that MB allowed for better QOL in terms of not needing to pianoflask. but overall no large changes. and considering the price of MB, the value was not there for me, hence I did not recommend it.
regarding soul gain affixes, I also extensively tested a couple of affixes (using the triumvirate rings) and some other unique amulets/rings. I was running both VRF and VCS, and thought of investing more into soul gain for a better uptime on VCS. generally, not worth/not good value, as there are mechanics in the game to prevent abuse of a significantly higher uptime of vaal skills, and the dps/QOL/mapping speed lost made it counter productive.
I might still go for mageblood just because there is something to go for but good to know.
I was wondering about soul gain prevention affixes. For example +3000 armour during soul gain prevention, which I assume is just after you pressed VCS and for some seconds after before you collect souls again :) Not very good for bossing but for mapping feels like it should have fairly high uptime

ah ok. now i get what you mean. i guess if there is no opportunity cost (i.e., it is not an affix that competes with some dps affix), it would be a nice addition. i didn't face any defensive issues because the dps was high enough to melt everything when mapping. if you're planning to run a more defensive set-up for the content you are interested in, even a rumi's flask is also possible, along with an SOTL. with MB, it would be even more unkillable.
