Max Block Mom EB Ghost Reaver Incinerator is Back!!!!

Our main spell in this build is Incinerate a fast casting spell that uses a bunch of mana. As of last patch, this spell was nerfed multiple times. These nerfs include not being able to support with spell echo and a loss of damage with each stage of the spell. But dont worry it's still in a good spot!

For this spell we link:
4L
5L & 6L

Side Note-> The quality on incinerate is very important and greatly increases clearspeed

On bosses I recommend swapping LMP for Slower Projectiles for a huge damage boost.

To be able to cast this spell we utilize the Eldritch Battery Keystone on the tree. This allows us to fully reserve our mana while still having a large resource pool. Since we took Ghost Reaver, our life leech now leeches directly into our resource pool and allows us to continue casting. With this setup we can easily afford to cast for long periods of time as long as we are hitting mobs.

Screenshot:

^^^ With full charges and my flasks up I hit around 25,000 first stage dps. With Slower Projectiles that goes up to around 40,000. Plenty of dps to clear content.

This is the best part of the build! We take advantage of multiple layers of defenses so as not to die! Woohoo!

First and formost this build has a moderate life pool. At level 85 I am sitting at 4500 life and plan to have 5000 by level 90. In addition to this, we have over 2000 Es which is used for both casting spells and taking damage. Since we took the Mind over Matter Keystone, 30% of the damage that would be going to our life is now mitigated to our Es. Our Es is continually regenerating thanks to life leech. This is our first layer of defense.

Our second layer of defense is max block and spellblock. With our Rumi's

we hit 75/75 for almost 5 seconds and gain 3000 extra armour. Without Rumi's we are still at 45/46. The block mechanic is incredibly strong and allows our character to tank a lot of incoming damage.

Our third layer of defense is our Arctic Armor, Fortify, some passive regen, and Cybil's Paw. AA at level 20 mitigates 13% of physical and fire damage while we are stationary. Luckily, we are always stationary while casting so this buff is often on. On top of this, Fortify also offers 20% reduction of ALL damage taken when hit. Our regen while Blood Rage is off is over 200 and adds to the regeneration from Cybils.

Screenshot:

My next gear upgrades would be for more armor, chaos resistance, and life.

Weapon:

This item is OP for our build. Incinerate is a very fast casting spell and therefore the 8 life gained on spell hit is generated rapidly. Even with leech going to ES, our life pool shoots up as long as we are hitting mobs. Also, since we are hitting max block, we get an insane 120% spell damage. Definitely the best item you could use.

Item cost: Very cheap 1-5 Chaos

Shield:

An all around good shield for our build. This shield helps us hit our spell block cap and provides some damage and life. It also provides a decent boost to Es and some lightning res. You could sub out this shield for a high armour/Life shield and swap over to Rainbowstride in the boots section.

Item Cost:15-35 Chaos (more expensive in the beginning of a league)

Chest:

This chest is by no means necessary but I was very lucky on linking it and so I used it. I like the Life, Armor, and Es that it provides. The life gained on kill is also pretty nice as is the ease of chroming that it provides.

Other good chests would be Belly of the Beast, Lightning Coil, Daresso's, or a good Armor/Es rare.

The first 3 would provide great defense but are hard to chrome correctly

Item Cost: Varied

Helmet:

My Helmet is by no means best in slot. I would rather have a hybrid life/ES/Armor helm but I havent found one yet that I like. This helm is self found and I like the rarity roll so I stuck with it.

Item Cost: Cheap

Gloves:

These gloves are great but again not necessary. I really like the projectile speed and damage that it offers which boost clearspeed. The downside is the reduced movement speed but since we are whirling everywhere it isnt so noticeable. The knockback on hit is a very interesting mod and actually helps protect us from some nasty melee mobs. Voll, for example, cancels his dash when he gets knocked back mid wind up.

Item Cost: 15-35 Chaos (more expensive earlier in the league)

Boots:

These are some boots that I found. You're just looking for life, resistances, and movespeed. If you want to use different amulet or shield, I recommend Rainbowstride in this slot for the spell block.

Item Cost: Varied

Rings:

My rings are actually pretty sub par. I could get some better rings with life, cast speed, and some resistances.

Item Cost: Varied

Amulet:

This amulet offers us some good stats. We get a large amount of block to spell block conversion for one. Also the 15% cast speed offered is very, very good. This can be subbed out for Rainbowstride boots if you choose. I really like the fire damage leech corruption but a block or +1 curse would be great. I paid 5c for mine but the price really varies for the corruptions.

Item Cost:1 Chaos-2 Exalt

Belt:

For this slot you are looking for high life, ES, Resistances, flask effect duration, and armor. Any combination of those mods would be great.

Item Cost:5 Chaos-2 Exalt

Jewels:

Here are my jewels as examples of what mods to look for. Price varies greatly by what the seller thinks its worth. Jewel market is odd.

3L
This is our go fast setup

3L
This is our get more block and make enemies suck more setup

4L
I like switching up my golems based on the map I'm doing. Also since we took 4.6% life regen on the tree, we can sustain Blood Rage. This buff gives us increased whirl speed and op frenzy charges on kill.

4L
and 3 other gems of your choosing.

4L
These provide a solid damage boost but are not really necessary. You could easily use grace or determination. Or you could even use blasphemy and the curse of your choosing instead of my CWDT setup. So many options.

My Flasks:

Nothing here....someone ask me some questions please!
