[Build of the week] - Gemling Legionnare - Drunken Master

Hey everyone! Still working on finishing all Ubers with this build — I’ve been trying to make a Quarterstaff Gemling Legionnaire work, and it’s been a really fun experience.



Why Drunken Master?
Spoiler

It uses Whirling Assault to proc most of our buffs Projectiles, Shatter, Chaos Dmg, Bell for ST, you follow.

But also since we are MoM we kinda spam Mana flask to sustain high cost and survival ergo DRUNKEN MASTER!



💥 What this build accomplishes:

80–81% all res – Easily obtainable

Instant life leech – Plus 20% mana leech

Mind Over Matter playstyle – Mana sustain issues are completely solved

Unkillable mapping experience – You can facetank every single mob, rare or not, and just press 1 button to survive, 2 buttons to kill fast

Amazing boss survivability – You can tank almost everything (though some red slams from high-physical bosses are still off-limits)

Crit viable – Thanks to ascendancy and support synergy, going crit is definitely possible

🎮 Works best with a controller

Has like 20 buttons mapped, which lets you hit harder and faster — not required, but highly recommended for comfort and effectiveness.

🔧 Best tech I’ve found so far:

Mantra of Destruction

Combined with Profanity

Using Embitter Support to convert chaos to cold for Shattering Palm

This combo, together with Staggering Palm Projectile and Poison, makes clear insanely smooth for any build that can access these three skills
