Level 97 LL Crit CoC Ice Spear of Splitting Inquisitor^3.26

Notes

This is based almost entirely off CaptainLance's build, just changed for a something resmbling a post-league start state.

See his video for more details:

I don't really recommend this video for beginners as it comes with a bunch of moving parts and small problem solving
aspects later on when moving into red maps that can make it confusing and unwieldy for newbies.

Feel free to pop in my chat and ask questions: https://twitch.tv/rtastix

I am probably not gonna make an abridged video on this unless enough people ask about it. CaptainLance does a good job of it own his own.

I started as Flameblast self-cast and transitioned to COC once I had a 6L.

COC is doable on 5L but felt worse than Flameblast. You will need Lancing Steel of Spraying for it to feel remotely worthwhile at all.

## GENERAL NOTES ##

- Quality on flasks is crucial to maintaining 100% uptime with Balbala jewel, as is having 2-3 empty flask slots.

To cast your skills reliably with Blood Magic you need enough life regen. I get this via Pious Path due to merc shenanigans,
but early game you'll want to take Zealot's Oath + Eternal Youth to convert your ES recharge into life recharge while still having some ES recovery.

This will be enough to sustain your spells for both self-cast or COC until you get the merc sorted.

## AURA NOTES ##

Energy Blade + Enhance need to be linked on their own to prevent excess reservation costs on other auras.

Grace + Eternal Blessing needs to also be linked on its own for the same reason.

You could run Haste yourself if you want but DO NOT run Ghost Dance as you won't have the Evasion to regen your ES to full anymore.

## MERC NOTES ##

Doryani's Protoype on a merc is NOT mandatory but will triple your DPS with enough negative res rolls on your merc.

Until you get the chest + two negative lightning res rings you will want to use the Inevitable Judgement ascendancy.

Once you have Doryani's Prototype you can remove this for Pious Path.

I chose Pious Path as this lets us remove Zealots Oath + Eternal Youth (for spell cost sustain and ES recovery) and lets Sanctuary work more consistently.

## MISC NOTES ##

- Resistances are a bitch with this many uniques. Don't be afraid to use jewels to compensate.
  You can just use a Topaz + Sapphire Flask alongside the Coruscating, too, I just wanted Quicksilvers while mapping.
  Jade Flask also an option I toy with for some more physical avoidance, as that's the 

- You will feel quite squishy until you reach a solid ~8K ES or higher.

- DOTs are brutal and there isn't much way around it. A jewel making you immune to Corrupted Blood is mandatory.

- Find a 1H weapon with an abyss jewel slot for cheap Corrupted Blood immunity. Can also find jewels for CB immunity + phasing later at added cost.
