Notes

Problems to Solve
Need at least 1 hp regen per second on any peice of gear. Could take recovery mastery for 50 flat regen early before solved but there is no useful recovery mastery so its 4 points down the drain.
Secondary damage mitigation. Phys is going to be a problem but both armor and evasion are far away. Temp Chains + Hinder and just try not to get hit? seems like a bad plan vs projectiles.

Things to Ignore
We are setting chaos res to 0 for nearby enemies, this means despair doesn't actually do anything - Use Temporal Change for defensive layers

QOL Descision
I have allocated the caster mastery to open chests, this is because I farm blight
Possible tech in the protection mastery that prevents you catching 2 ailments at once. Spec into this with a trigger on cast wand + lethe shade? Need to unviel the mod as teh crafted 8 second mod wont proc self poison frequently enough. Will see in practice if just getting hit is good enough, but bleed + ignite immunity is pretty great.
If it turns out dying isn't that big a deal, just drop the shield and go Kulemaks, or dual weild stat stick wands. Comes with the perk of settler enchants late game for touched by spirits. But thats alot of investment lol. 

What is this build for
This build is probably not going to be a late game boss killer wither totems will try and mitigate could also add a bane or ED 6 link in, this is a map blasting build through and through. I am hopeful I can use this to stack quant rituals + the cloister scarabs to farm stacked decks to pay for upgrades. I will also run blight. 
The loadout system is new this league however and we have no current visibility to how juiced these strats get.
There aren't any challenges this league :( so realistically you dont need to ever kill a boss anyway. But it would be nice to endgame blast T17's, its still chaos DoT though, so damage is never going to the moon.

Early Gearing
Others will be doing this early, but I recommend searching for well rolled Ventors Gambles that had shit life/rarity rolls. They may be cheap and you can get a great res/mana res ring for cheap. Unspec the evasion es mastery if you do this.

DISCLAIMER
All of the trees have a few extra passive points to fit in the ascendancy jewel. I have removed the travel nodes values in custom modifiers if relavent.
The trees are all actually accessible at the following level
