PoB: https://pobb.in/v_ltkJkfkOCK
(For single target swap Melee Splash support to Damage on Full life)

T17 Fortress (Forgot to enable Arctic Armor in the video, also didn't bother gem swapping)

Build cost: 60 Divines (including buying most of the gems - the big ticket items are the chest and the Balance of Terror costing together 35d over half of the budget)

Since I saw the new unique I really wanted to build around it.

Using Paradoxica is a no brainer since you get a bunch flat from the amulet.

Dual Strike of ambidexterity is also a brilliant fit here since it solves the major issue with Paradoxica being a slow weapon but also Claws can roll Mana allowing for a really nice stat stick.

Regarding the choice of ascendancy, there's a lot of options to consider here (Mana Guardian, Heiro, Scion, Trickster, Slayer ect...) but ultimately I went with Elementalist.

It went down to couple of factors:

• Starting position on the Tree, Witch starts near the good mana nodes + the Chaos cluster - also it's easy to dip to the right side for access to spell suppression, accuracy, sword nodes ect... (the same could be said here about Shadow, Scion and even Ranger).
• Golem buffs, you get:
  • 87% increased damage
  • 60% increased AoE (For Melee Splash which helps with clear)
  • 30% attack speed
  • 1260 accuracy rating
  • 120% increased critical strike chance
  • 60% increased defenses
  • 315 regen (applies to ES with ZO)
• Also you get Shock, Chill (also DR from Chilled enemies) and Elemental Shield (as a side note when using the the Ahuana/Call of the void merc setup I pick Shaper of Flames instead)

The other option which I think would be really good for this is Trickster it will be less damage but tankier, you get ES overleech and more ES.

Also I went with a Tides of Time/Traitor setup and the main reason is to get perma "The sorrow of the Divine" for Zealot's Oath + Tri elemental flasks for extra tankiness and some damage too.
The problem with this setup is the loss of a Tincture (which is not a problem for me because I hate using it).
