This is mainly me just slapping a soulthirst theory craft from u/Connect-Disaster-756 on top of a already established build. PegasusRyder’s Lacerman build.

Hey guys, after seeing the new Enkindling orb utility flask duration buff, and u/Connect-Disaster-756 ‘s Soulthirst reddit post, it inspired me to try to relive my Soul Eater fantasies.

The goal was to make sure the build was as cheap and “accessible”-ish as possible whilst still being able to stack copious amounts of attack speed and leap slam zoomies.

This is my first time stitching together a build, it is quite limited only to be used for fun and mapping, I definitely need more help with this build as there are heaps of kinks I don't understand how to fix whilst still trying to keep within my build principles (cheap and accessible-ish).

Disclaimer: Please excuse my maths layouts since i’m working with 7 year old memories from my year 12 Australian highschool maths class. (POB did all the work anyways)

The build works by using the unique flask (Sorrow of the Divine [S.O.D] + (New: Enkindling Orb Duration buff + New: Natural Remedies tree cluster (45% inc. flask) + Flask duration cluster jewels (40% inc. flask * 4) (replica or not your choice) + Soulthirst belt [S.T].

Perfect Enkindling gem + Perfect S.O.D duration gives 13.5 second base flask uptime, and when we include the Tree + cluster jewels. That brings us to a 38.2 second S.O.D flask uptime or 39.3 with Hillock 28% flask qual. Perfect rolls can be pricey. (estimated 50c+) the easiest way to make this build cheaper is to sacrifice the perfect rolls and have a shorter flask duration.

Now we need a self-curse setup. To increase the duration of our 39.3 second soul eater. There are many ways to do this, but the easiest setup we found was Rotblood Promise [R.P] + Temp chains [T.C] + Solstice Vigil [S.V] . With the heavy nerf to Self-Curse in Ultimatum, to max out T.C + R.P (reduced curse effect) we need 315% increased curse effect. This is too expensive and basically impossible when we are using 6 cluster jewels already. To make this cheaper we need S.V this adds a flat 20% increased on top of T.C bringing us...

(T.C + R.P = 18% Inc duration of buffs) + S.V = 18% + 20% = 38% inc duration of buffs

This is base T.C with no Curse effect inc.

This gives us ((S.O.D + S.T) + Tree) + ((T.C+R.P)+S.V) = 63.3 second soul eater buff. We can improve this by getting Curse effect on our items.

Replica Doedre’s Damning [D.D] + Imbued catalyst = 42% inc curse eff.

Murderous eye jewels w/ inc curse eff x 3 = 9% inc curse eff.

T.C Helm Ench = 30% inc curse eff.

T.C + 20% Qual = 10% inc curse eff.

This gives us a total of 91% inc curse eff.

When applied to the T.C equation we get(18%)*1.91 = %34.4 Inc duration of buffs Then add S.V buff and we get %54.4 Inc duration of buffs

This bumps our flask effect from 39.3 seconds to 84 seconds.

​

This is where I shamelessly stole PegasusRydeR’s Lacerman gladiator build, and just plugged in a soulthirst build. I have 0 idea on how to balance damage and Survivability and Soul thirst duration. I got a huge amount of help from u/Connect-Disaster-756 as we threw ideas back and forth, in the Dm’s trying to soften the build's kinks, whilst staying within the builds principles. There are many more avenues I have not explored, and would love some feedback and help with my P.O.B.

Pricing (Based on Standard and Ultimatum)

Replica Sorrow of the Divine - 3c (1ex+ for Max duration)

Soulthirst - 1c (20c+ perfect roll)

Rotblood - 5c

Replica Doedre's Damning - 5c (2+ ex perfect roll)

- 15c

Kaom's Roots - 2c (20+ for high life)

Belly - 2c (80c - 2 ex 6L)

Soul Taker (2 EX)

These are the uniques i use for this build. Please check the POB and let me know what i can do to improve this. Thank you :)

Edit: Just did some testing, Replica doedre's counters our rotblood self-curse, we can't apply a curse to ourself so we need self-flagelation gem to counteract this.
