Before the leaguestart, I planned a build around Stasis prison, before finding out how rare (and expensive) it would be. I'm still leaving it here in case it could help someone getting inspiration, since I don't believe I will be able to buy it this league, the next one, or ever.

It's basically a build based around both CWC and CWDT. Basically, you run around using cyclone (because it's smooth). Bonus point if you use stampede for the base 150% movement speed even during cyclone.

Cyclone is linked to CWC and forbidden rite. So every 0,35s (or O,3 with a woke CWC), you cast FR, and lose 40% life reduced by chaos res. This damage trigger a lvl 1 CWDT forbidden rite, losing another 40% life in the process (You can use a single FR, but you need a much lower chaos resist). With 7000 hp and around 50% chaos res, these two FR are dealing enough damage to trigger a lvl 20 divergent CWDT (you actually need to aim a bit higher than the threshold to get enough mana regen. 2800 is enough in the POB). Or actually two of them, one in the body armour, one in the weapon.

Since you can trigger a lot of stuff, you can actually trigger a spell cascade desecrate in a 3-4L, and volatile dead in a 6L. You get another 6L, which can be used for anything else (the POB is using rolling magma (counting 2 ticks per cast) and divergent fireball for increased shock effect.

The mana and life are easily sustained:

-Life because you use stasis prison, infused flesh, vampirism and 26% life recovery rate (so for 100 damage taken, you recover 179 life), gaining an extremely high life regen. The base life regen is 2800/0.3*1.79 = 16700 life per second, to which you have to deduct the damage taken, for a net life regen of 7375 life/second. You can easily run RF, and it may also be helpful to trigger the increased life recovery from arakaali with a dousing flask.

-Mana recovery is handled by battle rouse + mastery, and it's enough to pay the very high manacost of 6L CWDT. Yep.

​

With a Martyr of innocence, elementalist, you can reach an actual high dps (10.5M in the "aoe setup", 12,2M by swapping volley for pierce in the RM/fireball setup), and with an awakened spell cascade + enchant, you can actually double down on volatile dead and generate all 20 balls every 0,3s for 16M dps (version here: https://pastebin.com/ZqAPhshK ). Edit: Not 100% sure about this one, it may be bricked if unearth remove placed overcap corpses when it's used and not when it lands somewhere, meaning you can't consume them).

These figures are far from being optimized, and we are talking about a EO version.

The build needs to ramp up over 4s at the start of the map or after a death (at the start, you don't have enough regen to handle the damage taken). It's actually taken care of by an amethyst flask (you instantly go up to 75% chaos res, heavily reducing the damage taken for a while until you get enough regen to handle the real deal) and a life flask.

Unlike most CWDT, especially those rapid firing, this one is not a loop. You stop using cyclone, everything stop. No more self damage dealt.

The build is also tanky and squishy at the same time. Your regen is insane, you have 7K hp, you are fully ranged, you don't have to stop ever to dps (so you can focus on avoiding shit ALL the time, that's actually your only mission), you are fairly fast with stampede (so kite the fuck out of everything), but at the same time, you have no secondary defences and since you also take 2K8 damage regularly, if something hit you for 4K2 at the same time, you are dead. If it hits you for 6K like 0,15s later, you are not. That's more or less RNG.

Outside of that, it looked like a fun build, even if you were going to be randomly OS. The price outside stasis prison and the few woke gems (not needed) was also fairly affordable. Too bad I will never be able to try it out. I already had a character created, named "Imactuallymyownenemy" :(

Ps: The CWDT setups have all cyclone + CWC to get the "full dps" working. In the real world, the only cyclone + CWC you are using is the one with FR.
