Hey Kipad, just wondering if Shav needed for this Build, or I am able to use any other Armor for it ?

The synergy from this build is based on low-life mechanics:

Reserve more than 45% of your HP with Blood Magic + Aura to qualify for the "low-life" state.

This allows you to get 30% more spell damage from the Pain Attunement node. With the 59% spell damage from q20 Righteous Fire, this puts you at 89% spell damage. Crown of Eyes converts that 89% spell damage (along with any additional spell damage you pick up from the skill tree) into physical damage.

Low-life status also allows you to pick up the 54% attack speed bonus from 20/20 Blood Rage (66% iAS with level 3 enhance.)

However, all of this massive DPS synergy is for naught if you die from the %HP chaos damage received from the Blood Rage skill. Using Shav's means this chaos damage will be deducted from your ES rather than your life, which is especially important if you are reserving 99% of your life like KiPad is (I think he had like 10 HP left lol).

The only way I can see this build working without Shavs is if you have maximum chaos resistance, only reserve 65% of your HP (to give yourself a ~300 HP buffer), and do not run Blood Rage. However, this is pretty unoptimal since you will lose out on aura(s) and a ton of DPS & leech (not to mention have a insane risk of dying to chaos damage, even if it is pretty rare).

>_< Yes this build is expensive (put disclaimer in OP). There are still ways to cut costs considerably though (in questions section).

Hello,
How do people get the mana to use skills when they are using shavronne's revelation (No mana regeneration)? What if they do not leech it back and are left with 0 mana in the map?
Thanks!

Hi, you will have 1-2% mana leech from CoE. You can also take mana drinker for 2% more if you wish. If you have auxium, you will also have 1% mana leech for every power charge you have. I additionally run with a surgeon's mana flask, so if I run out, because I didn't have power charges up, I always have something to fall back on. Mana is a non-issue.

Okay thanks! I'm glad to hear that mana cost is not an issue.
However, if I do not have auxium, my mana leech would only be 2%(Coe) + 2%(Skill tree), would that be enough to sustain IB?

Short answer is yes. The only time it might be a problem is if you are 1 v 1 a high HP boss, but then you should switch PCoC on your 6L, and you will be critting enough to keep surgeon's mana flask constantly up

Thanks for your prompt reply!
I have two things which confuses me:
1) I noticed you have a mirrored ES shield that you placed in your "Gears" section. When do you actually use this shield? (Noting that to use righteous fire, Rise of the Phoenix is necessary)

2) I hope I do not sound ignorant but how do I snap shot auras on life?

This is what I tried:
Equipment:
4L Boots RRGG
4L Malachai Mask RRGG

Gems:
2x lvl20 Haste
2xLvl 20 Hatred
2xLvl 20 Determination
1xLvl 20 Reduced Mama

Steps:
1) Place determination, haste, hatred in boots
2) Place reduced mana, determination, haste, hatred in malachai mask and turn all 3 auras on.
3) Remove Malachai Mask

What happened to me was, the auras I casted on blood magic from the malachai mask was removed when I removed the mask. This is even though I had the 3 of the same lvl20 aura gems in my boots.

Am I mistaken on how this is done? Thanks!
