I haven't made a build like this before (life stacking), so I am open to your thoughts.

The build uses the Runegraft of Witchmark to add a flat cost to Bladefall. Then we scale strength and life for a higher cost, crit, % dmg, and mana using the Foulborn Doon Cuebiyari sceptre.

The inspiration behind the build: https://youtu.be/2qxZEI9hW7g?si=3gJXelVY9ioGL_KO

We get a lot of flat damage from bog shaman (80% of life cost). Dissolution of flesh is needed so that life recharge can sustain our massive 46% life cost per second (need to test if this number is accurate, not sure how the mana cost interacts with life tap). I tried to include as much block as possible, and I have made sure to include immunity/unaffected for all damaging ailments.

The current gear is quite expensive, and possibly unrealistic for the event (watchers eye).

I want to look into abyssal jewel stacking with Lightpoacher (we don't use skills often, so sustaining charges is easy) using adorned possibly. There are also a couple different trees in the pob (without clusters)

What have I missed?

Budget estimate: 200-300 div

The ascendancy changes were quite good for the build. This new pob has the changes included.

I made a much more budget friendly version: https://pobb.in/kdAWwVbx8D4I

This version is more tanky (more life and block, but less chaos res), half the dps. I am confident I can get close to this version within a few days of sanctum.

One thing I didn't mention in the post is that the sceptre requires the "25% reduced Attribute Requirements" to go from mana per 12 strength to 9.
