Curious as to how this special consecrated ground interacts with Soul Mantle?

Immunity doesn't necessarily mean you can't have curses applied to you, just that they won't have an effect on you.

• So can Soul Mantle still apply curses to the player?
• And would these applied curses still impact Self-Flagellation?

If so, this essentially turns what was once a drawback requiring active mitigation into a strong passive bonus, while freeing up valuable flask mod slots (given no need for "of Warding") and/or ring slots (given no need for Kikazaru).

Have Soul Mantle builds been struggling so much lately that they needed a buff?

This extreme additive design is not adding depth to the skills you're reworking, it's just making them more contrived and singular. Having skills do this AND this AND this AND this is not making them more interesting and is taking away from one of the core premises of this game, using skill gems and support gems to create unique skill set-ups. Instead it's like you're just doing the job for us, and in introducing more passive support gems that only serve to increase damage output, it's taking away the challenge of creating builds, by just doing the job for us.

Betrayal in terms of content and simplifying masters and crafting was great, but this, this ain't it chief.
