[3.25] Energy Blade COC Lancing Steel of Spraying [100M dps] [100K EHP] all contents

Core piece, you convert your life to ES and you use ES to scale your Energy blade damage.
The implicit is not mandatory, it improves the ES convertion rate and it is rather your end-game chaser. I got the 8% one and a 15% one costs like 200 Divs. It is pretty significant improvement tho.

This is a str/int stacking build so naturally Shaper's touch is BIS. It solves your accuracy and gives you a lot of mana and ES.
As for corruption, I personally like the +1 to socketed gem level to boost the enhance gem than other implicicts like 6% max life.

Like shaper's touch, we benefits a lot from the transfiguration of soul body and mind since this is also a life stacking build.
90% reservation efficiency is not mandatory, you can allocate a mana mastery for 12% reservation efficiency in your passive tree.

Glimpse of Chaos was a solid choice but the nerf on 40% all ele res on flask makes it even harder to cap your res with this Helmet, to the point I think it is no longer a good choice.

Gives a tonnes of damage and helps us cap crit.
BIS for life stacking builds like this one.
You can swap to Svalinn for the block meta and you will still have enough damage. I have a block version in my POB and honestly you should probably go for the block version since we have way to much damage at this point. But I am not dying and are trying to make big numbers for the build guide so.

Essential piece. This prevents chaos damage go pass your ES to kill you. You does have 100% MOM for Chaos damage from Ivory tower, but you only have around 300 mana and its not enough. So 1st thing after you click any portal is to Press "123". The 28% quality is not needed, 20% is enough.

Use 20% ele res mod instead if you are not capped.

I use rarity instead of the life regen for mapping. I also swap out 1 gem for Increased Rarity Support for gold farming. Just use Blazing Salvo or Ice Spear of Splitting as a 5 link, you have enough damage to afford using a rarity support.

This one together with Yugul from pantheon to get 100% reduced reflection damage taken:

If you don't have permanent consecrated ground from rational doctrine, you can use this instead of life regen to deal with curse:

Brutal Restraint Mandatory.
You need the "Traitor" keystone to sustain your flask. This one comes with increased movement speed, onslaught on kill and 8% aura effect. You can also get 5% life, frenzy charge on kill etc.

Use this tool to buy timeless jewel that gives you the best notables:

Split Personality Mandatory. We use 2 for int/str stacking:


Watcher's eye not mandatory but is a BIS for almost every build that run auras, which is basically any build.
If you are looking for a 3rd mod, crit multi from precision or damage from wrath/zealotry are also fine, mana as extra ES from clarity are also good if you are using clarity. But the chaos res and ES gain from hit are BIS in my opinion: you gain 1000ES from Lancing Steel(16 proj), ~2000ES from Ice Spear (7 proj pierce) and ~4000ES from Blazing Salvo AOE hits. This is what makes you able to run no regen or no leech map.


Forbidden combo, not mandatory but WILL make your life so much easier as it sort out reservation AND alleviates your mana issue.


This combo gives a lot of attributes but it's not mandatory. The reservation implict on Unnatural instinct is also not mandatory if you use Enlighten for your life reservation. But if you do not use enlighten, you NEED to have 2% reservation efficiency on one of your jewels to not waste points on passive tree.


Rational Doctorine definely not mandatory. We use it for permanent consecrated ground. Consecrated ground with Zealot's oath gives 6.25% (Passive tree notable buffs consecrated ground by 25%) ES regen and 50% curse effect reduction. You can use a rare jewel instead to fill gaps in your build. Like the aforementiond reservation efficiency, your resistences, corrupted blood immunity etc.


Megalomaniac, not mandatory, what we are looking for is "Enduring composure" to generate Endurance charges. Endurance charges were good but are exceptionally good this league. If you cannot find a good megalomaniac, use a small armour cluster jewel instead.


Cluster Jewels:

The one with "Fuel the fight" is kinda mandatory as we need the mana leech. the other one is not mandatory, snowstorm gives good damage and prismatic heart good for capping res. Sadist can be good for damage as well since we also ignites with Blazing Salvo.

ANY one-handed weapon with an abyssal socket. Stats doesn't matter as it got turned into Energy blade.

Look for attribute and life. You want to have at least 18% Cooldown recovery in either your belt or boots to hit the 52% CDR for 10.1 trigger rate. Personally I think 20 CDR boots are a bit easier to craft.

You can also have 20 CDR on belt and 9 from eldrich implicit on boots so that you don't need to allocate a crit wheel on your passive tree. But crit wheels are very strong and I will probably have it regardless of CDR.

Belt and Boots are the gears that you can craft yourself with reasonable price and efforts. I might make a crafting guide if any of you guys are interested in.


You can also use HH for mapping and simulacrum, it is really cheap this league (like 15-20 Divs in 3.25). In fact it is way cheaper than the stygian vise.


I used mageblood before and it doesn't felt good, mainly because you are constantly worried about running out of flask charges and will die randomly, it's not fun. I would suggest you to use searing purity forbidden combo to get 90% chaos dmg taken as cold and fire, take out 1 aura so you have enough unreserved mana to take the remaining 10% chaos damage. This way it is possible to not use coruscating exlir and use a dying sun, and are able to enjoy the mageblood.

Budget version will be Astramantis amulet and 2 chaos rings with attributes and life. Use mana cost ring mods if necessary. I wouldn't craft the helical ring myself as it might be too risky and expensive. The normal rare ring craft however can be done resaonably easy.
