First of all, let me say right off the bat - I will be leveling as RF inquis, probably pohx's or baalar's version. When I acquire enough currency for some key items, I will swap and play my build.

*Tldr; * here's the pob - https://pobb.in/WFGd6xM0AigJ

Build goals

This league, I want to be able to:

  • farm Sanctums
  • farm the league mechanic
  • boss rush
  • still be able to comfortably do other content if I want to

That means:

  • I want to deal cold damage for freeze and chill
  • be tanky
  • be fast
  • not be locked in a super clunky or gimmicky playstyle

What follow are the answers I found.

For offense:

  • A phys skill with good coverage - EK
  • Full conversion to cold (to enable freeze and chill)
  • Heatshiver to basically double our damage
  • steal inquis Inevitable Jugement for pen
  • Arcane Surge scaling
  • scale with crit and crit multi

For defense:

  • high armour
  • strong Molten shell
  • high ES
  • strong Frost Shield
  • max block & spell block with Glancing Blows
  • Aegis Aurora
  • 75% all res (and 80% cold res)
  • freeze and chill everything before they hit you

For movement:

  • some movement speed, not much tbh
  • very fast lightning warp

Other important points:

  • ivory tower to enable low life
  • meaning we use the traitor to sustain corruscating elixir
  • we might be able to sustain with precision flask watcher's eye mod. Will need testing.
  • a bunch of auras and aura effect

The pob:

There are 3 different tiers for trees, gear and skill - Cheap, mid and expensive. The trees and gear all have a version with precision flask watcher's eye mod. The skills all have a version without defiance banner and lightning warp on a 4 link for maximum speed.

I may have forgotten some stuff, and I definitely may have made some mistakes. Feel free to ask anything and/or give feedback.
