[3.0] Legasi's Masterpiece - Trivialize Bossfights! Shaper Deathless! Boss Guides inside! HC

Hey Legasi, I did this build back in breach, and I have a question for this build for legacy league.

Would the VP version be more tanky than the ZO version? Is it harder to survive with the VP version? Thanks :)

You Channel Wither selfcast and it will cast firestorm via CWC

Why the double Consuming Dark should be used with regalia?
IM looks better for damage.

@ade Some people seem to prefer it that way, see some pages before these

@matt both versions have distinct pro's and cons. VP is stronger against burst damage while ZO is stronger against many small hits, degens, Lab and PvP.

@nax thanks man! I added it, but fucked up the spoilers in the process. I swear this forum format is extremely user unfriendly. After the third try trying to fix it but ruining it completely even more I decided to leave it this way -.- Any chance you wanna have a look at that too and sort it better? :)

@pom Since I don't have clearvoyance can't tell how good IH will be, however I'm pretty sure it will be sought after and thus expensive. It also drops way less than an IM.

@ade You can level CI if you know what you're doing.

Incandescant Heart is like the middle ground between Mantle and Regalia. Mantle still provides more damage and a high ES regalia is still going to give more EHP. If the leech on IH was global damage then it might have been strong because of how hard spell leech is to get but as it stands, I'd rather just go for mantle or regalia depending on what I prefer (dmg vs survivability).

Since the tactic of thuis build is tanking in the middle of mob packs wouldn't CWC with blight be good as well? I know it has melee range so can be weird with firestorm but if you are up close anyway it wouldn't matter and it slows mobs even further. Or... do the incoming damage stacks give too much DPS to ignore?

If not.. what about a spell totem with e.g. blight or even wither to get extra debuff / chaos damage on the targets?

A very big percentage of overall damage comes from the debuff caused by wither so switching out wither isn't an option. Also wither solves the mana problems - lvl 3 wither costs virtually nothing even in a 6link, so no problem with IM here. Spell totems can be killed and must be recast. And going without CwC results in a lot of Damage lost because CwC results in more Firestorm Hits than Spell Echo without the problem. BLight also isn't ideal if you get swarmed from all sides, wither is really something special xD.

What I don't get: Isn't it safer to go "Stun immune" using Eye of Chayula, freeing 7 Skill points (Nimbleness, Practical Application, Occultists Dominion). Or do we profit much from Cast Speed? I thought it won't help much.

Would this build be better than a regular Firestorm build for SC?
