Hateforge is cheap this league so finally viable to just play around with. This is mostly a concept which I'm still levelling.
Core concept is buffing Soul Catcher flask effect. To hit 100% reduced soul gain prevention, we use Timeclasp/Warped Timepiece (20%) + Reduced Duration on Tress (25%) + Triumvirate Authority (30%) + 150%+ inc effect Soul Catcher (25%). The last one (also possible in Ancestor league from Tattoos) is enabled by 2 key changes this league:
- Micro-Distillery buffed to 30%, and the veiled mod still gives up to 18%, for a total of 48% flask effect.
- Warden with Tincture gives 30% flask effect.
This combined with PF (30%), Skill Tree (25%), Alchemic Genius (10%), Exarch mod on Chest (up to 18%) gives more than enough.
In addition, "Warcries grant 5 Rage per 5 Power if you have less than 25 Rage" is available on That Which Was Taken, which allows for max rage regeneration on a non-Berserker with Redblade Banner. This allows PF to have sufficient rage generation.
Because you only have 45% reduced generic duration, VLS still lasts a respectable 3.63 sec. At 5-6 APS, each VLS fires around 20 times (doubled if Nimis), which is a huge multiplier. LGOH or instant leech for insane sustain.
Still some issues with build (rage generation speed, damage, life) due to being so point starved, though at v high investment, Progenesis with this much flask effect should deal with any defensive issues. Welcome suggestions for improvements!
