Same as with the previous iteration, this Cast When Damage Taken Saboteur uses level 1 spells with Triggerbots and lots of flat damage scaling to shoot out about 1200 projectiles and roughly 200 spell casts per second.
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 as otherwise the build starts to lag really badly when monsters don't die quickly enough. One of the drawbacks attributed to engine limitations.
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 54% Life Recoup and Life Leech, the build can sustain on single targets and still easily outheals Shaper Beam.
We also use Grafts that grant buffs and stun enemies. Furthermore, we elevate the entire build with the Nameless Bloodline for an extra ring slot for another Unset Ring or Nimis, and/or Shrapnel Specialist for free returning projectiles.
This version is much riskier to play and harder to gear than the original. Though it also comes with a few advantages over the elemental version, namely it can ignore Reflect, Endurance Charges and other defensive map mods such as extra Energy Shield, plus it can scale overall way higher.
This build is hands down my absolute favorite, and also my personal little baby. I hope you enjoy this type of build.
