[0.5.5] Cast on Block(Mana Flask) Reverse Chill Autobomber.

[MUST READ]

Skipping the detailed explanation and getting straight to the point: at 75% Chaos Resistance, your maximum Mana needs to be roughly 4 times your maximum Life for 50% maximum Reverse Chill.

You need to get at least one Attributes modifier in your suffix slot . (on Rings, or Gloves, or Boots.)

Make sure to get +50 Spirit on your Amulet.

------

[WEAPON]

We use the unique weapon Runeseeker's Call

The best implicit is "+300 to maximum Runic Ward", but other implicits or even one without an implicit are perfectly fine.

For the Runes, use:

Hedgewitch Assandra's Rune of Wisdom (+1 to Level of all Spell Skills)

Aldur's Legacy: Legacy of Lifesprig (+2 to Level of all Spell Skills)

Warding Rune of Hollowing (Gain 15% of maximum Life as Extra maximum Runic Ward, 15% less maximum Life)

Perfect Iron Rune (35% increased Spell Damage)

Perfect Mind Rune x2 (+90 to maximum Mana)

A 5-socket version is also completely fine. If you're using a 5-socket version, remove one of the maximum Mana Runes.

[BODY ARMOUR]

Other options are absolutely viable too, but for the setup I'm introducing today, we use Sierran Inheritance for Reverse Chill.

This build already has more than enough damage and survivability, so I felt that using Reverse Chill to increase mobility was the best option overall.

A Runeforged version is better, but it's not a huge deal even if yours isn't Runeforged.

Socket one Fox Idol, then fill the remaining sockets with whatever Resistance or maximum Mana Runes you need.

Also Better to Have Mana Recoup Enchant Mod, But It's not Mandatory(Works well without it)

[HELMET]

Just like the Body Armour, there are plenty of other viable options for this slot, but the setup I'm introducing today is built around Alpha's Howl.

Runforged Version's better, and 0% quality is better. the lower the evasion is, the better it is.

But 20% quality is still absolutely fine, it's just a tiny bit of detail.

Buy an non-corrupted one, socket a Raven-Touched Shard into it, then anoint Swift Blocking.

[SHIELD]

We use Svalinn.

You MUST buy a corrupted one. (It needs to have the "10–15 Mana gained when you Block" corrupted modifier.)

It is completely fine if it has the modifier that causes you to take damage from Blocked Hits. The build still functions properly, and its survivability is still excellent.

Ideally, Cast on Block should be Level 20 with 5 sockets. However, if there aren't any available on the market, you'll unfortunately have to get the one without them.

Socket an Ox Idol to increase the base Block chance. (Mandatory)

[AMULET]

Use an Absent Amulet base with Cast on Dodge

Make sure to get 40% Caster Quality if possible.

-Prefixes (in order of priority)

1. +50 Spirit (Mandatory)

2. Maximum Mana

3. #% increased maximum Mana

-Suffixes (in order of priority)

1. +3 to Level of all Spell Skills

2. +5% to Quality of all Skills

anoint: Paragon (You can also put Paragon on your Helmet and instill Swift Blocking here instead. Either way is fine.)

[RINGS]

I highly recommend using a Mnemonic Ring base.

-Prefixes (in order of priority)

1. Maximum Mana

2. #% increased maximum Mana

3. #% increased Cold Damage or Item Rarity

-Suffixes (in order of priority)

1. All Elemental Resistances

2. Chaos Resistance

3. Attributes (Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, or all Attributes are all fine)

4. Any other useful modifier

[GLOVES]

-Prefixes

Energy Shield and maximum Mana (ideally 2 Energy Shield prefixes and 1 maximum Mana prefix)

-Suffixes (in order of priority)

1. 60% increased effect of Socketed Augment Items

2. Get as much Resistance as you need. If your Resistances are already capped, use any other useful modifier instead. (Attributes are also useful.)

Make sure to socket one Tecrod's Gaze!

[BOOTS]

-Prefixes

Get Energy Shield, maximum Mana, and Movement Speed according to your preference. (You might wonder why you'd bother getting a measly 35% Movement Speed, but it makes a quite noticeable difference in QoL before the build gets fully ramped up.)

-Suffixes

Get as much Resistance as you need. If your Resistances are already capped, use any other useful modifier instead. (Attributes are also useful.)

[BELT]

This is EXTREMELY important.

You MUST use a Mail Belt base.

For the prefixes, I strongly recommend getting "#% chance for Flasks you use to not consume Charges", and for the suffixes, you MUST get "reduced Flask Charges used".

Also, use Divine Orbs, Omen of the Blessed, etc. to make sure BOTH(explicit and implicit) 'reduced Flask Charges used' rolls are maxed out. max rolls are require to get 80% reduced flask charges used.

-Prefixes (in order of priority)

1. #% chance for Flasks you use to not consume Charges

2. Maximum Mana

3. Increased Charm Effect Duration (Not very important though. Just use whatever you happen to get.)

However, try your best to AVOID maximum Life!

-Suffixes (in order of priority)

1. Reduced Flask Charges used (MANDATORY!)

2. Whatever Resistances you need

3. #% increased Flask Charges gained or Flasks gain Charges per second

[CHARMS]

Forsaken Bangle Amethyst Charm is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY!

The higher the Duration and Quality, the better.

+ For Rite of Passage, I think the Cat version is the best, but using other version is completely fine as well.

For the remaining slot, you can use whatever you prefer. Personally, I recommend a magic Thawing Charm.

[FLASKS]

Melting Maelstrom Mana Flask is MANDATORY! This is the Core mechanic of the build and the Engine.

The lower the Duration, the better.

For your Life Flask, just use any flask with Instant Recovery.

[UNIQUE JEWELS]

Split Personality Sorceress version is MANDATORY!

(How to use Split Personality: Connect your Passive Tree all the way to the Sorceress starting point at 12 o'clock, then socket Split Personality into the Jewel Socket above it. You can then unallocate the passives leading from the Mercenary starting point at 6 o'clock.)

Prism of Belief is set up around +2 Levels to Ice Nova.

There's no need to spend a ton of currency on a +3 version. I recommend simply using a +2 version. That's already enough to reach Level 40.

+If you have enough budget, get Voices together as well ofc

[RARE JEWELS]

Ideally, you obviously want to use 5-mod Jewels with 3 suffixes.

-Prefixes (in order of priority)

1. Increased Effect of Suffix Modifiers

2. Triggered Spells deal #% increased Spell Damage

3. #% increased Spell Damage

-Suffixes (in order of priority)

1. Increased Critical Spell Damage Bonus

2. Increased Critical Hit Chance for Spells

3. Increased Critical Damage Bonus

4. Increased Critical Hit Chance
