This isnt a normal build guide, more a summary of my attempt to make the build work so I'll just be covering the version I ended up with, if you would like a deeper build guide then I'd take a look at my Tactician or Pathfinder builds as these are more comprehensive. At this point my videos are for my own amusement in trying out builds with the currency that I've accumulated over the course of the league and I sell gear from previous builds to fund the next one.

I'll be doing this for the rest of the classes that I haven't played. Ice Crossbow Invoker, Elemental Ailment Storm weaver, Accuracy Stacking Huntress and the Hardcore Run and Gun Titan I'm still working on, so if you want to see those please consider subscribing and comment what you'd most like to see next.

The build is a lightning, poison, bleed Blood Mage using Galvanic Shards for clearing and Plasma Blast for two-shotting bosses. We lean into poison for mapping with bleed to trigger herald of blood and are using plague fingers which gives us satisfying map clear similar to the pathfinder build I posted before. Most of our boss damage however comes from big bleeds with a boost from poison.

Havent done a mobalytics for this one, if you want me to please drop me a comment.
