Finally got this build into a t16 farmable state after quite a bit of tinkering and many, many deaths.

Bladefall of Trarthrqwas / Blade Blast mana stacking ivory tower hiero... Of course it's an ivory tower balbala shenanigans build, but with a mana stacking twist. It runs archmage and energy blade (still not convinced this is actually worth it).

The BFOT / BB interaction is actually really smooth once it gets to a point where you have high enough bladefall frequency and large enough blade blast AOE that the blade blast explosions chain along the blades that fall while you run. You basically click BB every other screen or so and run around while the explosions chain along with you.

It's a fucking visual mess though. But also I need to turn up my filter strictness..

Currently running an absolution zealotry merc but will want to find a good determination merc with the temp invuln spell thing they can get. I'm still lacking defenses. Swapped between det and flesh and stone and think flesh feels better right now especially once I get a det merc.

I'm rambling here though. This build has fried my brain. Here's my eventual end-state POB with current gear once I cap 20/20 gems and get to 95.
