⚙️ EXAMPLE POB https://pobb.in/dq1W9Lm9Qsi_

🧪 HOW THE SETUP WORKS • Sap of the Seasons grants elemental resistance penetration per Mana Burn, up to 200% • Bloodsoaked Blade makes tinctures inflict Weeping Wounds instead of Mana Burn, shifting the drain to life • Master Surgeon keeps life flask recovery active when life reaches full • Tincture Mastery grants 1% increased Flask Charges gained per Mana Burn on you

Bloodsoaked Blade also makes effects that interact with Mana Burn interact with Weeping Wounds instead

Together, these mechanics let us build up tincture stacks while life flask recovery offsets the life drain and increased charge generation helps sustain flask use

This example obtains Master Surgeon through Forbidden Flame + Forbidden Flesh

🔥 SKILL CHOICE I'm using Volcanic Fissure of Snaking (VFoS), but the core setup isn't tied to this skill Other elemental melee weapon attacks can also benefit

The VFoS damage comparisons use 2, 2.5 and 3 hits per attack as calculation scenarios — not a measured average or a guarantee of three hits every time

📌 ABOUT THIS SHOWCASE The core sustain interaction works — the open question is how far it can be pushed

This is a lower-investment example, not a fully optimized endgame setup or a league-start guide Higher-stack limits discussed through PoB are projections unless shown in recorded gameplay

At 200% penetration, the damage bonus from this modifier is capped, but the life drain keeps increasing as stacks build How long you can maintain the setup depends on your recovery, flask charge generation and flask timing

Footage was recorded in Standard before the 3.30 launch Any relevant 3.30 changes should be checked before copying the setup
