Hey everyone, 👋

Today back with a follow-up Blood Mage build — upgraded mechanics, smoother mapping, and way more consistent boss deletes. The engine is now Entangle + a Cast on Critical “curse loop”, with Cast on Elemental Ailment Comet for big hits, plus Spellslinger Frost Wall tech for juicy clear.

If you enjoyed the previous version, this one is the “cleaned up + leveled up” edition. Drop your feedback/build ideas in the comments, any kind of feedback truly help me. Like and Sub to support! ❤️

QUICK NOTES

This setup is built around mana as defense + life-cast scaling, with AoE stacking to hit the curse overlap sweet spot.

Mapping setup: automate Spellslinger Invocation (Num Lock trick) + keep Entangle rolling + Pounce occasionally for Freezing Mark value.

Bossing setup: Thunderstorm → Pounce (Freezing Mark) → spam Entangle → watch the boss evaporate.
