Build Overview

Core Build Mechanic: Phantasmal Might

Phantasmal Might from The Black Cane Reliquarian ascendancy node grants 92-140 added flat phys damage to spells per phantasm. Total flat damage added from this is averaged to 7192 phys. Getting this amount of flat damage on any build opens it up to insane and easy scaling possibilities. Similar builds that got a ton of flat damage was minion pact last league, detonate dead for a long time, etc.

This setup is not 100% optimal, I think converting all your damage dealt to lightning with Doryani's Prototype and getting a nice crit multi setup for Lightning Tendrils of Eccentricity is probably the best play here. I just felt like going full fire based since it has very nice defensive options like Cloak of Flame and Foulborn Xoph's Blood.

The Soulwrest / Phantasmal Might tech is super super flexible and you can pretty much use any skill you want with it. I use Lightning Tendrils of Eccentricity for mapping and Incinerate of Venting for single target. Winter Orb is also very good here.

You do not need any expensive gear, just Soulwrest / Dark Monarch.

Where to get all Phantasms:

Soulwrest, Summon Phantasm Support, Lvl 4 Congregation Support, The Dark Monarch (Summoned Phantasms)

If you are in SSF The Dark Monarch (Summoned Phantasms) is divinable to change the type of minion which makes getting the helmet very easy since it is a 30% drop chance from regular dread of incarnation.

Leveling:

Sunder or Freezing Pulse / Holy Flame Totem into Armageddon Brand / Firestorm until you can equip Soulwrest then respec.

Strengths and Weaknesses

High DPS
Very Tanky
Decent Clear Speed
Can do pretty much any skills you want to try
Cheap to start
SSF Friendly

You want to mostly travel with Frostblink of Wintry Blast (not required but gives extra defense)

Equipment

HEADHUNTER IS NOT REQUIRED AT ALL, YOU JUST NEED SOULWREST + THE HELMET TO MAKE IT VERY SMOOTH.

IMPORTANT DEFENCE SETUP:

Converting damage taken to fire is vital to this setup, for cold / lightning you get 50% converted fromLethal Pride (Rakiata Tempered by War), 20% from Watcher's Eye, and 25% from Dawnbreaker ascendancy node for 95% cold / lightning convert to fire total.

For phys you convert most of it to fire with 40% fromCloak of Flame, 14% from FoulbornXoph's Blood, and 25% from Dawnbreaker ascendancy for 79% phys converted to fire total

Mana Sustain:

Getting both rings with -3 mana cost for channeled spells and some mana regen should be enough.

Small Note:

Make sure your staff is 6 unlinked sockets for Runegraft of the Jeweller. Congregation Support and Summon Phantasm Support do not have to be linked. To get 6 unlinked sockets the easiest way to bench craft each socket on up to 6.
