This could probably be more optimal but here is my initial setup with mageblood. Anything I should change?

Hey everyone!

I've recently switched from a Spell Suppression build to this one, and it's been feeling really good so far! I basically copied the Mageblood setup from the initial post of this thread and found a wand with the Haunted Spirits enchant for 80 div. The wand might not be the best out there, but since the enchant alone is worth about that much and I wanted to play around with it, I went ahead and bought it.

The biggest difference I've noticed between this and the Spell Suppression build is how dangerous Damage Over Time (DoT) effects are now. Things like Marked for Death, ground effects, and traps like Sawblades or Labyrinth Traps chip away at my Energy Shield a lot faster than in my previous build. I'm still fairly new (this is my second League), so I'm not exactly sure why this is happening, but I assume it has something to do with losing Spell Suppression Prevention and the benefits from Corrupted Soul with Glorious Vanity. Is there any way I could improve this aspect of the build? ^^"

Also, here's my PoB: https://pobb.in/_2Khtst3AXGL.

What about the Watcher's Eye? The one listed in the mageblood setup has Phasing while affected by Haste but I didn't see any Haste on the build so I though it was not relevant and just went with one with Zealotry Bonusses.

What would be the best direction to take from here? I've got around 300 divines to invest, and I really enjoy this character, so I'd love to keep improving it.

Lastly, is it possible to add a 4th utility flask? I really miss having a Quicksilver Flask.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

A better transition from ziggs variant, survivability definitely increased but, i still feel very weak. I'm unable to run juiced maps and some uber bosses. Juiced t16 red altars is killing me too.

I would love some help and advice on what I can improve on the build. I am almost 100 soon and have around ~50 divines to spend.

* Yes, you can easily bring in a quicksilver flask in place of bottled faith. You can double your speed which will be incredible QOL and be safer for you to get out of what ever degen ground is giving you issues. To help replace the Bottled Faith, you should path south and pick up one more socket. In that socket you can add a Rational Doctrine jewel. This will help your crit chance and curse effects. Also, try to find some implicits that help you (the implicits are all random so you need to search around). If you can squeeze in at least 4 more Lightning Res some where (maybe get it on the large cluster small node), you can free up the two points into Faith and Steel to help you path down to the open socket.

Since you have mentioned about spell suppression and mitigate DoT, I would like to share my version of this build: https://pobb.in/veeX6T9KD_K0

Hey, thanks a lot for the reply! Your advice was super helpful. I switched my Stormshroud to a max roll one to cover the Lightning Resistance gap and made the suggested changes.

However, I noticed that the Rational Doctrine jewel mentions that Consecrated Ground applies when Strength is your highest attribute. I assume this is what we want to trigger now that we've dropped the Sulphur Flask (especially since my Watcher's Eye gives bonuses to Zealotry on Consecrated Ground). This wasn't my case as my Strength was 19 points lower than my Intelligence. I wasn’t sure how to optimize this, so I just used a couple of cheap tattoos to cover 2 Intelligence nodes, which allowed me to trigger the Consecrated Ground effect. Is there a better way to manage this? If not, what Tattos should I use to cover those 2 Intelligence nodes?

If that isn't the case and we just want to trigger the Profane Ground then does this make my Watcher's eye obsolete? ^^"

That said, adding the jewel and removing the flask seems to have significantly affected my PoB DPS calculation, so I’m not sure if I did something wrong. Any idea what might be causing this?

Here’s my updated PoB: https://pobb.in/094Ape-ukEiB.

Thanks a lot! Your build sounds very interesting, and I think I’ll work toward it as my end goal. The changes I made above were pretty simple and didn’t require much investment, but I really like the direction you're suggesting for long term improvements!

* Since you are using Intensify support gem, change the Caster Mastery to "....+1 to Maximum Intensity" This will be a large DPS boost for you

* You can cap Attack block with one more tattoo

* You are at the point where you should swap to the large cluster set up. See the build guide in the first post for the details on how to swap.

* Get quality on Increased Critical Damage support
