A Different Take on CWS - Chaos Projectiles on Saboteur

Hello, I recently recommended this build in another thread, but here's my homebrew chaos proj CWS saboteur: https://pobb.in/E17ehQZZAYVn

How the build works:

• CWS setup with Skyforth and Blood Magic.
• Recovery from Bloodnotch, life recoup, and Defiance of Destiny.
• We go chaos projectile skills, Soulrend of the Spiral and Essence Drain of Wickedness because Sabo has mini Nimis which has half your projectiles returning. This is 50% more hits when you're ontop of an enemy.
• We go poison since Noxious Strikes is relatively cheap to get from FF jewels and is a huge boost in poison duration and poison chance.
• We get wither by proccing Unholy Might from Overwhelming Malice.
• Triggerbots for more hits which is better Unholy Might uptime and better coverage. On the other hand, this tanks our visual clarity.

Defenses & Recovery:

• 7.8k life
• 29k max phys up to 39k with endurance charges
• 92k max elemental hit up to 121k with endurance charges
• 74k max chaos hit
• Max hits go up by 38% with Steelskin which is on Automation. It's mainly there to take care of bleed so I don't need to press my life flask.
• 100% spell suppression
• Elemental ailment avoidance from stormshroud and flask, poison avoidance from tattoos, Corrupted Blood immunity from jewel implicit
• 59% (Bloodnotch) of hits recovered from stunning hits, 43% life recoup from gear
• Defiance of Destiny
• Defenses aren't armour or evasion based, so altars don't matter.

Gem Setup:

• Soulrend of the Spiral + Essence Drain of Wickedness in our main six link. These have inherent pierce and are fairly cheap. The two skills in the six link offers better damage, coverage and proc rate on Wither/Unholy Might over a single skill with an extra support.
• Tornado of Elemental Turbulence with culling and item rarity. We keep at level 1 in case of reflect. This skill also helps with Unholy Might/wither.
• We have a merc for Malevolence so that we can run Flesh and Stone with Eternal Blessing. Extra layer of defense.
• Despair is the best curse for poison damage. We get Temp chains on hit and an additional curse from Merc. We don't care about the level of Temp chains, just the ailment duration.
• Frost Bomb for any lone high health/regen rares.
• I don't think Voltaxic Burst is doing much but things go pop when they die.

Damage is inflated in POB because it assumes max proc rate. The build can do all t16 mods, and is able to do T17 abyss + 2-3 risk scarabs. Although no caster mastery is kind of rough. I avoid drowning orbs, runes of searing exarch, awakener's desolation, and -20 max. The first three can be doable, but really annoying as visual clarity is poor from hundreds of projectiles shooting everywhere. The ground effects that prevent all recovery means you just die if you stand on them.

Playstyle is pretty comfy. You go into big groups and wait a few seconds until everything dies. Rinse and repeat. 8mod T16s can be done blind. There aren't any altar mods to avoid. Ultimatums are easy (not grueling gauntlet though). Simulacrums are easy as long as you jump on Kosis immediately when he appears. Otherwise it's a slog if everything but Kosis is dead. Abom maps are the easiest t17 as there are multiple bosses and fast hitting spells. Other T17 bosses are doable as long as there aren't multiple tanky mods (poison avoidance, chaos res, boss life) but might not be worth the extra minutes. My go to comfy farm is harbinger+beyond in 8mod t16s or t17s. That's brain off, walk into packs then collect loot while watching videos on a second monitor.

I've been playing this for the better part of the league, with most of the gear slowly bought/crafted over time. I'd estimate having spent maybe around 80 divs ontop of the mageblood but prices are likely double if not more now that the league has slowed. For example, I sniped my rings and double implicit cloak of flames for under 5 divs each.

If you want to look up my character on ninja, it's ArcaneStrategistJace. Feel free to ask questions if you have any. Or if you have any suggestions for improvement, I'd love to hear them.
