There are also the rare amulets with the 0.5% lightning damage leeched as life. With the amount of Arcs per second it's probably more than enough to fill up our leech-per-second quota, though it means managing to somehow go on without Voll, but it frees an ascendency.

Though probably sacrificing a gem from the molten strike set up for a leech gem would achieve the same effect and save both ascendency and amulet. I'm not sure what would could be done without though. Perhaps the Fortify if taking the corruption of fortify on the hammer, though those are exquisitely expensive for a casual.

Life leech in Molten setup wont add anything. It will only leech from dmg dealt by Molten Strike. With Loreweave LGoH (Life Gained on Hot) must be used in Molten Setup to provide instant life recovery without Kingsguard. With GMP and 5+ APS on Molten LGoH recovers up to 1890 life instantly per sec. This is far superior to life leech. I have this setup now and it works great. Additional 0.5% life leech from Ascendancy is global so works with Molten, Shield Charge, Arc and Discharge, Im using it to support 1.9k life recovered with LGoH with additional 1k per sec (as this is what it provides with all the leech instances created by fast hitting spells) for a total of 2.9k life recovered per sec (and also to have some life recovered when Im just crusing around with a Shield Charge). Theres also 350+ regen on top.

Sure, I can use cwdt + warlords mark and achieve similar effect but... cwdt - wm is not allways "on" and it blocks other curses from being used. More than that Paragon of Calamity is not only global life leech but also reflect immunity and 8% additional elemental dmg taken reduction. Because wording is "dmg taken" it basically acts as "less" multiplier to incoming elemental dmg. That when combined with 80% max resistances from Loreweave, 7+k EHP and Fortify makes this build a tank vs elemental dmg.

DMG wise Paragon of Calamity + Elemental Equilibrium + Molten Strike / Shield Charge + Herald of Ash is at the same lvl as Mastermind of Discord with 2 Heralds. Third Herald gives Mastermind an edge but it really cannot be used with life + MoM as mana pool becomes to low. The only downsides with Paragon + EE vs Mastermind with 2 Heralds is a) no Lightning Strike (well it can be used but dmg penaulty from EE is significant for Arc clearing) and b) slightly less clear speed (Herald of Ice + Herald of Thunder vs Herald of Ash alone). However the benefits are global leech, reflect immunity, 8% incoming ele dmg reduction, 6% all res and passsive points as theres no need for more mana as only one Herald will be reserving some part of it.

As far as 10-15% chance to fortify corruption on Mjolner goes - im testing one right now to see how reliable it is. Gem link saved on molten can be used for 20q LMP to provide more attack speed and molten projectiles for LGoH or Ancestral Call (same reason) or 20q Culling Strike.

You're the expert here. I thought the life leech per second unaided by ascendency or vall pact was so low that just the molten strike setup would be enough to reach the cap.

The 0.5% lightning leech amulet is worth a mention for the leveling section(there's also a fire version) since they open at level 40 and are quite cheap. A decent one will hold until Voll is available allowing to skip the leech gem/ascendency for a damaging gem in the leveling section.

Time to do some update regarding Loreweave setup and how it performs:

Gonna update the guide with the Loreweave setup tomorrow.

I have some question
Why mind of the council?
Why not, for example, indigon?
Does it make sense to try using indigon (old version suppose)?

Thanks for fantastic guide Rico!

Would you say Loreweave version is better than Kingsguard?
Old player returning to the game here, so very new in this league and let's just say currency level is not overwhelming, so would like to focus on the best option first ;-)

Thanks!

Go 5l Kingsguard first to have things started. Than when currency allows switch to 6l Loreweave. Loreweave version is far superior.

You didnt read the mechanica section huh? Mind of the Council is for instant mana recovery with shocks being applied like 12 times per sec. And this life + mom. Indigon deoesnt make sense in this build.

oh.. sry
Yes, I read the changes
I just thought that indigon would work here just as he did on the inquisitor, who also through mjolner, with the exact same mechanics
So I wondered if indigon could be used here.
I didn't think indigon was do nothing...
