Build Variety, Keystone/Unique

So I am playing Oracle and want to take Advantage of its Entwined Realities ascendancy skill point. The Idea obviously is to take as many Keystones as possible. Given the starting position and the nearby Keystones the Idea was to go over to Caos Innoculation, and also take Eldritch Battery, and stack as much mana as possible. The problem is that this way you have no ES and no HP.


That would be fine because i also take Zaelots Oath. So i went and did the Build and it seemed like a pretty cool thing until i realised that stun and ailment threshhold is based on life, and the only way to get enough of those without life is if you have energy shield as there is a lot of "gain stun/ailment threshhold" based on ES on the tree there because of CI. I dont think making a build where Mana is the primary defensive layer is too OP. Eldritch battery and Zaelots Oath have sufficient downsides i think. But it would be fun, creative and kinda cool.


A Keystone in that Area that makes it so your stun/ailment threshhold is based on mana instead of life would fix that entirely. it would also be interesting for CI users in general, you could place it far away from there somewhere in the druid area, or just make it a unique, or make it a historic jewel keystone, or any other unique Effect.


Now, ofcourse i get that you shouldnt add keystones whenever someone asks for one that would fix their build idea, but if you dont do this, what even is the point of the ascendancy Node? You can barely take any Keystones if you have ES and Life in the area because it will ruin your build. In general, Oracle is kinda underwhelming. The thing that even gave me the idea is the "Harmony within" ascendancy node, which is also pretty bad because it only applies to hits AND lessens your life and mana. You defenitley need to do something to make both these nodes viable.

Thank you for reading this, I hope you are familiar with the Keystone Names and what they do.

The Keystone effect i suggest also would be kinda pointless for most other builds except CI, so again putting it somewhere between the druid and warrior wouldnt create any insanely OP Builds.


It would essentially be the opposite of bloodmages, where instead of turning you life into a skill source you turn your skill source into your life. its also a pretty simple thing to add i imagine.
