Hey, I'm back with my most popular build to date and now brought back from the dead: Poor Man's Ward Loop!

Same as before, this Cast When Damage Taken Saboteur uses lvl 1 spells with Triggerbots and lots of flat damage scaling to shoot out hundreds of projectiles per second and causes absolute mayhem on the screen. What a sight to behold!

Using The Burden of Shadows and stacking max Life, it adds a ton of flat damage to spells. I then use Malachai's Simula for the Blood Magic keystone for even more max Life and to convert Mana Cost to Life, and it also grants some sweet Double Damage procs. The Covenant body armour is used for even more flat Chaos Damage for my main DPS spells and adds even more max Life, with the caveat that skills now also cost more Life.

All of this is necessary, however, to pick up enough damage for endgame. And I personally do not play anything below T16 maps, unless it is league start, so I don't want to be stuck in yellow and lower red maps. All this damage is necessary because otherwise the build starts to lag really badly when monsters don't die quickly enough. One of the drawbacks attributed to engine and CPU limitations. Even with my Ryzen 9800X3D, this build can choke my CPU under the right conditions.

Same as before, Eye of Innocence is used in conjunction with Ngamahu's Sign to sustain the feedback loop, and a Watcher's Eye with Life on Hit takes care of the upfront Life Cost. Combined with 74% Life Recoup and Life Leech, the build can sustain on single targets and still easily outheals Shaper Beam.

This version is much riskier to play and harder to gear, but at least the build is still playable. It also comes with a few advantages over the original, namely it can ignore Reflect, Endurance Charges and other defensive mods such as extra Energy Shield. Map mods that'd previously be an absolute no-go because of all the extra lag caused by the issue I briefly described above.

This build is hands down my absolute favorite, and also my personal little baby. I'm happy to announce that not all is lost, as I've found a way to make it work again. Now you can feel like a true spellcaster once more!

Check out the video and let me know your thoughts! Thanks for watching!
