PoE Duelist, Witch, Simulacrum builds without Mageblood

Hi everyone, When Trinity Support was announced I was pretty hyped. My first instinct is to abuse it with a support spell that uses a different element and exists for the sole purpose of generating resonance for your main skill. As it gives 50% more elemental damage and 20% elemental penetration, it is one of the most powerful supports available to elemental self cast spells.
