Soul Eater tech explained:
Temporal Chains duration needs to be shorter than the Bladefall of Trathus frequency.
Level 1 Hextouch, Level 1 Temporal Chains, 20/20 less duration and 20% reduced duration on the tree is required.
Avoid any other curses on your char, only on the mercenary
Activate Bladefall at the start of each map, it will continue running forever.



CRAFTING & GEARING (short version)

Gloves
create a shaper+elder pair of Warlock gloves(ilvl 85) with Awakener's Orb (and Shaper/Elder Exalted to make influenced Warlock).
Click Horror Essences until you land faster casting support and open suffix.
If you have spare exalts/annulls, you can try to slam faster casting on your Horror gloves even when the essence initially misses.
Can also try to anull all other suffixes besides 3.5 crit, then suffixes cant be changed + reforge caster to hit faster casting (this way costs divines instead of horrors)
With 3.5% crit, faster casting and open suffix, now use suffixes cant be changed and reforge caster for 30-70 Multi.
Then use suffixes cant be changed and reforge speed to guarantee Faster Projectiles.
If there are two open prefixes, craft Mana and exalt hoping for ES.

Tips for Essence farming:
DONT use Crystal Resonance, it disables special essences (horror, insanity, etc)
Always use Essence of Stability Scarab when available, it increases odds of hitting a special essence
Use harvest to swap any special essence into Horror.

Helmet & Body Armour
alt spam bases for t1 ES mods, recombinate two of them together, then recombinate two two-mod pieces together until all 3 ES mods stick together.
Ignore what suffixes items have while recombining, benchcraft a suffix when possible to lower dust cost.
Craft suffixes with exalt slamming and eldritch currency, or just settle on multimod (str+int and 20 hybrid resists are the typical mods)

Shield
same as helmet and body, but with block instead of hybrid ES.
We can't use eldritch currency here so don't use items with more than 1 random suffix while recombining or the suffixes might fill.
When prefixes are recombinated, wipe suffixes (prefixes cant be changed + scour) and shaper exalt for ES on Block. (~10% chance). If it fails, Prefixes cant be changed + reforge defense (~17% chance)

Boots
Same as Helmet and body, but with movespeed instead of hybrid ES
OR: just combined flat ES and %ES, then prefixes cant be changed and veiled chaos to try and unveil movespeed. This potentially gives us Onslaught or Chill Immune (my boots missed and got nothing)
Suffixes with eldritch currency or multimod

Weapon
Void Battery is best, Mystic Refractor and Divinarius also work
Rare Wand replacement would be Spell dmg, Crit Multi, Spell Crit chance, Double dmg (gem levels are weak)

Belt
Playing without Tides of Time is fine, but I would probably play with Purity of Elements and Grace instead of 3x Purities then.
Rare Belt would be Stygian or Crystal with Crusader %ES and Flat ES, resist and/or STR suffixes.
Dense Fossil is how I would craft it

Ring
Ring fixes attributes.
Rolling a ring with Dex + All res, then cannot roll caster + crusader exalt to try and get %ES, replace benchcraft with STR+INT is what I am aiming for.
If that misses, can reforge defense or dense fossil on the crusader base to hit good prefixes, then exalting for good suffixes repeatedly

Cluster
Reforge Chaos or Abberant Fossil
Unspeakable, Unwavering, Touch of Cruelty is ideal, but other rolls with Unspeakable are usable too.
Unspeakable + Malice combo is nearly impossible without a fracture, but having one is insane for wither generation

Amulet
Max Res and additional Curse are insanely good corruption outcomes
With additional curse we can run Assassin's Mark on bosses for 20% more dps

Red Nightmare + Fire Res tattoos are key for Block cap
Militant Faith can be any variant, just needs to be divined for "Dominus"
Watcher's Eye is not mandatory, just helps for survivability and enables no-leech maps
