Building many items with cooldowns to benefit from the static cooldown reduction from Living Ink, especially Tankbuster and Torment Pulse since their cooldowns are so short, but also items like Warp Stone and Divine Barrier as well as our defensive utility as well.

Violet's damage pattern seems very simple, simply trade with Still Life as the 1AP heals a great amount and allows for some easy damage and scaling, and then use Living Ink to reduce the cooldown of Still Life and for the other items we get like Grit.

Since her damage pattern is so straightforward, most of the issues we face is with what items to choose from. Spirit Sap is the best item for damage, but Slowing Hex might be mandatory against annoying fliers. Other barrier items might also be better if you are struggling enough, so Weapon Shielding and Spirit Shielding are perfectly fine as well on top of the other barrier items.

Make sure to use Flow State to engage or escape fights, it lasts indefinitely so make sure to have an escape path in mind.

In the late game, it will mostly come down to how well we survive so grab items like Divine Barrier and Indomitable and Diviner's Kevlar to have the luxury of tanking. If Violet needs more damage, consider upgrading the Spirit Sap to Focus Lens.

Dispel Magic for annoying DoT's like Infernus's Afterburn.

Stamina Mastery for some generic mobility.

Living Ink can also block Line of Sight spells like Lash's Death Slam or block off pathways as well.
