Smooth, pretty and strong! This build will take you through most content with low investment and likely all content with some investment. You can easily do red maps quickly for less than 50c (as of the first week or two of crucible)

PROS
- 3 Million Pinnacle DPS on a 1 Divine Budget
- 7 Million+ Pinnacle DPS on a 5-6 Divine Budget
- 14 Million+ Pinnacle DPS on a 10-15 Divine Budget (Can scale higher)
- Easy guardians, shaper, searing exarch and eater of worlds
- Fairly quick mapper with huge chains and explosions
- Good at legion and breaches
- High/Capped spell suppress for phasing and defense
- Easy 77-78% max resistances
- Immune to enemy crits
- High base chaos res
- Cyclone CoC for smooth constant movement
- Gorgeous MTX (base spell looks cool also)


CONS
- Evasion Based (occasional one shots)
- May need to run clarity instead of another aura before mana issues are solved
- Need regen & life on it (not leech) achieved through tree, holy relic, stone golem and eventually vitality watchers eye.
- Life pool of 4.5k-ish.
- Have to summon your golem and relic a few times a map - working on an efficient solution for this.
- Relies on uniques - not a good league starter. (Transition from cobra lash)
- Have not attempted any uber bosses. May need grace aura and swapping to more life nodes.

IMPORTANT
Spoiler

Cast on crit builds scale very strangely with attack speed. One 3% node can take away a million of your dps. Essentially your attack speed needs to mingle well with your cast on crit proc rate to maximize your procs.

EASY Solutions:

1. Just mess around in POB by adding or subtracting attack speed nodes if you find your dps seems low.

2. Avoid Haste aura and try not to get attack speed on your cold iron point or on your gear in general.





BUILD MECHANICS - Essential Gear
Spoiler

This build functions around a lot of cheap but key uniques.


We utilize Ungil's harmony to boost our crit chance immensely which also removes the need to focus on crit multi.
(Lots of fun and cheap corruptions to look for)

Cospri's Will allows us to apply 2 curses and makes them apply to bosses and hexproof enemies boosting our dps against major bosses massively. Because this chest has no life, we use the mastery that provides 15% increased life to a chest that has no life.
(Give yourself millions more dps if you get a corrupted one with "+2 to socketed duration gems)

We use Alpha's Howl to give us lots of scaling and quality of life with auras.

Cold Iron Point drastically boosts are dps adding levels to our main skill. You'll want a corrupted one with increased crit chance eventually but they are very cheap to corrupt spam.

Asenath's Gentle Touch gives us improved clear with explosions and provides the essential FIRST curse of our build, temporal chains. Try to find a corrupted one with attack crit chance.

Witchfire Brew provides our SECOND curse used for rares and bosses for a huge dps and survivability gain.




BUILD MECHANICS - Tree Explanations
Spoiler


We go Shadow with Assassin Ascendency for poison duration stacking, crit chance and power charges.

The tree can be adjusted how you like but there are some important interactions.

Flask Mastery:: 25% chance to gain a flask charge on crit.
This refills our unique flask for more consistent boss damage.

Physical Mastery: 40% increased damage with skills that cost life.
Exsanguinate even when Cast on Crit (CoC) costs life!

Chaos Mastery: 5% chance to inflict maximum withered stacks
We use withering step and wither totems and they often proc this.

Poison Mastery: Enemies poisoned by you can't crit.
We always poison!

Poison Mastery 2: Poisons you inflict on non-poisoned enemies deals 300% increased damage.
Great for clear and legions!

Spell Suppression Mastery: You have phasing if you've suppressed recently.
This allows us to run through mobs for smooth play.

Life Mastery: 15% increased life if your body armor has no life.
Cospri's Will does not have life.

- Get at least one Life and Mana on hit node for mana sustain.

BUDGET BUILD:

Allocate the Excess Sustenance wheel for sustain before grabbing a vitality watchers eye.




GEAR EXPLANATIONS
Spoiler




Get a cluster jewel with Overwhelming Malice for a HUGE dps boost through permanent Unholy Might


Uniques were explained earlier in the essential gear section.

What to look for in your rares:

BELT
Get life, resists, attributes and life regen if possible.
- Upgrade to a stygian vise when you can for the added jewel socket!

BOOTS
Life, resists, movement speed, and life regen if possible.
- Spell leech enchant on kill provides big sustain when paired with instant
leech mastery on tree.

SKILLS & AURAS
Spoiler

Divergent Exsanguinate improves clear speed a lot!


5-LINK (If you can't get a 6)

(Swap out Chain for Deadly Ailments for big bosses)

Optional 4th link for faster casting

2-LINK
Holy Relic - Blind Support (or whatever you'd like based on colors)

2-LINK
CWDT - Immortal Call for extra defense

1-LINK
Low level Vitality
With a watchers eye it gives a lot of life on hit.





FLASKS
Spoiler




*** You can get away with many options here as only two flasks are essential. A corrupted blood immunity instant health flask and the Witchfire Brew.

I prefer instant life flasks as our life on hit is so high we refill very fast but need those instant refills when they get through our evasion.
- One with corrupted blood immunity because cyclone stacks it fast
- One with immunity to freeze for quality of life and to save yourself from random freeze deaths

Withfire Brew is exceptionally strong for both defense and offense. Its charges are refilled slowly through crit based on our passive tree for bossing.

Quicksilver just for fast mapping - whatever mods you like.

Jade flask for our evasion scaling - I have it set to auto activate on rare or boss hit so we hardly ever have to press it. (Instillment orb)
