hey guys im setting this up on standard i made the 5b 1r 6l rat cage but i just noticed its a legacy one is that ok to use or shall i divine it, its got 199 life so i thought i had a winner.

It’ll work but you’ll be squishier vs end game fire damage since it lowers max fire res. You might want to squeeze in purity of fire if you can. That said, I don’t find -max maps that dangerous so you might not even need it.

I forgot about divines haha.

The 2.6.0 patch notes say you can't make it the current version with a divine, but that's a little misleading because divines do change it... Divining will remove your -max roll but will not add a -fire res roll. It will therefore make your rat cage way way better.

Hi OP, most creative build I've seen this season. Congrats on BoTW! I'm currently planning to build on your idea, giving it a substantial damage boost with Indigon. I have the PoB below if you could comment on viability.

The main idea is, Indigon, if geared correctly, shall provide 500%-5000% increased damage depend on mana you can spend. In a "steady state" scenario, the mana you can spend is exactly the mana you gain (via leech, regen etc). I found the most underestimated mana gain method is actually "% dmg taken gained as mana from hit", you can easily stack this to 40% using two Spirit Response and one Watcher's Eye (clarity). In the past I've tried so hard looking into various self-damage methods and eventually I saw yours.

My estimation is, with the self-inflicted phys hit dmg, you probably can get 2000-4000 mana regen per second, allowing Indigon to stack increased spell damage in the 10,000% range. Zerphi's can be used to provide near infinite life regen. Rare gears (offhand, ring, jewels) can just focus on life + mana + res. In the PoB I've removed the "increase fire dmg" skill nodes (since it's dwarfed by Indigon), and picked up several mana nodes. Anger is also disabled to unlock mana pool.

What do you think? I still don't know what mana spending skill should I use. Maybe a 4L movement skill, or spell totem with incinerate etc.

After spending around 2500 jeweller, i decided to link it 5L/6L (got 5L on my last fuse "approx 80 fuse").

It's sustained via temporal chains and extended curse duration. The gloves (if I recall correctly) will cast temp chains back on you, which extends the duration of VMS. This also requires you've done the lab to get Unstoppable.

There's not much "leveling" with this build. It really requires all the parts coming together to work properly. The max requirement (not counting gems) is at lvl 68. Do not try to run the setup before then imo. Before then, get a tabula rasa and run a 6-link sunder or tectonic slam build, the skill tree will help that sufficiently to get you to 68.

Also, remember that gems put into your 2nd slot of weapon / shield level up along with the ones that are actually active, so you can use those slots to level up gems while running something else as main damage with normal lvling.
Awesome build! I was planning on running this early on but wanted to take my sad elementalist to 90 first. Ofcourse the weekend where I had planned to make the shift, you're featured as botw and prices just went through the roof. Thanks...
That being said, this is by far the fastest I have ever gained xp at higher levels, even faster than Dark Pact during Harbinger...
