PoE Kitava's Thirst builds

On brand wheels, there is a mastery available that reads "Recover 10% of mana when a brand expires while attached". In theory, if we reduce the brand duration low enough, we can proc this effect frequently enough to sustain the monstrous mana costs of Indigon or Archmage. And since we are recovering by a percentage of maximum mana, we don't really need to invest much into mana regeneration. Our mana recovery will basically scale with our maximum mana. Reducing Brand Duration ================== So this is actually the easy part. Wintertide Brand is the shortest duration brand at a base

This is my first own build and only a THEORY CRAFT until league start. The idea of the build is to self-cast Dark Pact with mana cost of >= 100 to trigger [[Kitava's Thirst]] which then summons the skeletons, casts Desecrate and Flesh Offering, which in return powers the 200% cast speed of corpse pact. I plan to start this league with self casted Skeletons + Dark Pact and transition into this build as soon as it is possible. (need a 6L and [[Fevered Mind]] to hit the 100 mana breakpoint, OR link with archmage gem) Mana regen is gonna be interesting since our Dark Pact costs 100+ mana and

Trying to rig up a flame-surge Kitava's thirst character. It'd be like playing melee, without being melee. I'm probably going to roll with it next league unless something overtly destroys the build. But looking for feedback on it. It's not terribly crazy in terms of required uniques, and has room for growth with influence-rare crafting. \editing to meet the "Share Your Build" requirements\ Flame Surge on a 6-link \[Pledge of Hands\] meets the 100 mana cost to trigger Kitava's Thirst, which has 3 spells linked on Arcane

Pob: This is the general premise of the build: with a very high speed we cast Crackling Lance, the cost of which we make sure to be over a 100 mana. So, with every cast we have a 50% chance to trigger the spells in our helmet, Storm Call and Hydrosphere. To buff their damage we cast a very juicy Arcane Cloak. The idea is that we still have very good clear while at high Intensity. Two notable things about our ascendancies: Elementalist makes Hydrosphere's Exposure very strong. Raider, while giving us insane cast speed, also gives

This is the build: PoB is without flasks and only 100 poisons applied recently. I think it is pretty unique and I am looking for some feedback/ideas. Would you do sth differently? BB is procced by Kitava's Thirst helmet while spending over 100 mana with BF. Apep's are used to get the mana cost of Bladefall to over 100. Build can self-sustain the mana cost while spamming BF at over 5cps without a mana potion. Bladefall has Culling Strike. Only requires two 4-links. I use a CWDT setup in the chest. Since the build is mana bas
