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

Just did my first ever solo uber lab with this build :)
Went pretty smooth and just facetanked Izaro. Good part was that I also get a decent boots enchant which will solve a big part of my stun problem!

Wasted 400 jewellers trying to 6 socket an infernal mantle so I ditched it and bought a 5l incandescent heart for 15c. It's super tanky and probably better suited for HC than IM. You get nice physical mitigation from arctic armor and basalt flask and now more elemental mitigation from IH. Just not sure how to utilize the extra mana I have now from being able to go below 35%.

To be sure.... I now use a 5L mantle with all blue sockets and this gem setup: Wither - CWC - Firestorm - Concentrated Effect - Elemental Focus. Since I am dual wielding Consuming Dark daggers I have a total of 75% of fire damage converted to chaos. This means that I should be using Void Manipulation instead of Elemental Overload right? EO only affects the initial hit and not the poison DoT as the poison is not elemental. VM does double dip as it affects both the chaos part of the initial hit (75% = chaos damage) as well as the poison DoT. Is this correct?

Just caught sight of this build today. Will be trying it out tomorrow night with some buddies. I just skimmed over some the gems and you mention temp chains and enfeeble with CwdT vortex and warlord's mark. I'm new to the game (just started 3 weeks ago) and was wondering how that works exactly?

I understand that you can have 2 total because of the ascendancy, but what about the other two?

Thanks!

Edit: found 1 more from the skill tree. So how is it that we can apply the 4th curse?

There's only 3 curses

3 curses indeed and Vortex is the 4th skill tied to CDWT to provide some additional defense.
I tried using frost wall and that is great for defense. Ranged mobs will just get a wall pop up in front of their noses and when whirling into a mob pack it basically splits them up as mobs are pushed aside. There's a risk you will be trapped by the wall if you want to escape the scene but whirling blades actually lets you go through the wall so it shouldn't be a problem.

Going to try this build out in LHC tonight since I ripped on my marauder. I have never played a CI character, so this will be my first!

I can't seem to find a concrete answer on this sifting through the guide and all the pages, so forgive me if I missed it.

What would be the best gem setup until you get a 6L?

FS - Wither - CWC - Void Manip. - Controlled Destruction/Conc Effect - then Ele Focus for the 6th?


Thanks

The setup section is in order of priority for maximum quality of life. Should you want more actual dps, use Void Manipulation earlier, but that shouldn't be necessary at all. Adding that to the FAQ.

Thanks for the help, can't wait to try this build out =)

You will love CI!!
This is my first char with CI as well and unless they buff life builds I will not go back. There are so many dangerous situations that are just no threat anymore with chaos damage immunity. Stacking ES seems a lot easier than stacking life and gaining immunity to a dangerous damage type is just a big, fat cherry on top of the cake.
