The Overflowing Elemental Blade Flurry Pathfinder (THE SEMI-AEGIS / SEMI-MAGEBLOOD BUILD)

Hi I just want to share to the community one of my self-made build which is a "simple" elemental blade flurry build. But before we move on. A little bit of a backstory.

Before the start of the Kalandra League I made a post here, asking if there are any updated elemental blade flurry build. Here is my post : https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/wqpkgy/can_anyone_suggest_a_good_elemental_blade_flurry/.

Sadly, not even one was able to suggest or recommend one. So I thought to myself. Okay guess I'm gonna look into POE NINJA. To my surprise not even one was playing "SELF-CAST" Blade Flurry. All of them are playing "GENERAL's CRY". I SAID TO MYSELF: WATDAFAK HAPPENED TO MY BELOVED BF!! THEY TURNED IT INTO A SUMMONER!! (similar playstyle). I have played GC in the past but honestly, it doesn't fit my playstyle. I really prefer the old school self cast version of it that was released I think 7 yrs ago?! (it was released during breach league i think? correct me if am wrong). So in pursuit of reliving the nostalgia of the beauty of old school self-cast blade flurry. I theory crafted day and night and wasted a lot of regrets in making a BF build that will satisfy my cravings. Gladly. WALA! After all the sleepless nights, I think I was able to finally make a decent variant of BF and I am very happy to share it with you. *wipes tears*

Just a short introduction about the build:

It is based around the unique flask "OVERFLOWING CHALICE" (OC) hence the name "overflowing" and its cool interaction with the Pathfinder Ascendancy specifically MASTER SURGEON and VETERAN BOWYER (as well as her asc. small nodes). Blade Flurry IMO is the ideal skill for this type of build because it's a fast and consecutive hitting skill which synergizes well with master surgeon. ( I skipped cyclone since I would need to replace one of my flasks with quicksilver which I cannot afford.)

BUILD MECHANICS

FLASKS: (refer to the video)

We stack a reasonable amount of % flask effect ( PF asc. small nodes, belt affix (alchemist genius), eldritch chest implicit) in order to the gain offensive and defensive benefits from our flasks and an insane amount of life recovery from OC. The OC allows us to have massive amounts of % charges gained by itself and we scale it even further via flask effect therefore making MASTER SURGEON + Gain flask charge when hit flask affix combo, more potent. Take note that Taste of Hate and Wise Oak have the enchant "Used when adjacent flask is used" which allows them to activate in concert with our Flagellant's Magic Utility flasks whenever they reach full (either by getting hit or by dealing a critical strike or via nature's boon). And by having 28-30% chance not to consume flask charges, we are able to reliably sustain our unique flasks.

In addition, thanks to VETERAN BOWYER (VB) and Instilling Orbs (use when full) we can permanently keep up its effect during mapping making us almost unkillable unless we get one shot. VB also helps us by making sure our unique flasks are topped up during maven invitations every time we kill a boss.

Because we have a high flask effect duration, during big boss fights (eg. invitations and ubers), we can use the powerful Enkindling Orb (70% flask effect) on OC to further boost it's effect for more % increasing charges gained which leads to an even more insane recovery.

I would really appreciate it if you guys can suggest any improvements to the build since I believe it still has a lot more room for growth.
