[3.25] Exsanguinate of Transmission Physical DOTs Hierophant - Going Mageblood^3.25

Notes

# Notes
----- -----

## General
- Ignore the random tattoo (block chance) since they're residues from my previous build.
- Use resistance tattoo for resist if gearing is an issue.
- Non-battery staff can be use but need to support the movement and guard skills with Lifetap.
- Replica Dragonfang can be used instead if it's not too expensive.

## Recovery
- Corrupted soul to split damage taken from Righteous Fire and Annihilation's Approach to life and ES
- Pious Path Forbidden Flame/Flesh to regenerate ES
- Rational Doctrine only to generate Consecrated Ground for Pious Path; A crusader's body armour with the same mod can be used instead, but a decent one is difficult to craft.

## Reservation
- Aspect of Spider wasn't planned initially, it was kept with recombinator unintentionally so I decided to use it.
- Purity of Fire is required before getting 5x rare jewels with +2 max fire res, grab a mana reservation efficiency from mana master and replace Flesh and Stone with it (sacrificing points from the Hearty clusters).
- Can get more DPS if using Skitterbots instead of Flesh and Stone.
- If Aspect of Spider wasn't used, Determination can be slotted in instead of Flesh and Stone.

## Cruelty vs Efficacy
- Cruelty has 40% while mapping.
- T17 map bosses grant 31-33% cruelty with the mastery allocated.
- Unable to test the value for pinnacle bosses due to their health bar blocking the buff icon
- Worse recovery due to not having the "Less damage taken from damage over time" mastery

## Corrupting Fever vs Reap
- Reap is better DPS, but more buttons to press
- Reap can replace Exsanguinate too with little DPS different but mapping felt worse

# Crafting
----- -----

## General Gears
- Get fractured base and essence spam

## Jewels
- Grabs jewel with any max res and use Harvest to swap them into fire
- If roll value is low (1% instead of 2%), use Harvest to swap them into cold/lightning then swap back to fire, repeat until hitting 2%

Weapon (require recombinator in 3.25 league)
- Can use fossil (Aetheric+Corroded+Shuddering+Metalic) to have a good chance to for +2 to all spells base, but need to clean up mods afterward (use split beast to clean if possible).
- Use recombinator method to merge +2 all spells staff with T1/2 spell damage.
- Can either harvest force +2/3 all physical spells, or use recombinator method to merge +3 physical spells into it
- If using harvest method, craft suffix: multimod + prefix cant be change + cannot roll attack mod, then augment physical
- Once prefixes are filled, lock prefix and harvest reforge caster for cast speed, or just clear suffix multimod cast speed + Phys DOT multiplier
--- 
- If you happen to have an isolated "+2 to all spell" mod on a non-battery staff base, use recombinator to transfer it to battery staff
- Scour the battery staf and recombine with it.
- The mod will guarenteed to be kept if it's the only mod in both recombinator options.
- This repeat until the +2 is in battery staff.

## Possible Upgrade
----- -----
- Staff with T1 Damage over Time Multiplier (15-16% more dps)
- Hunter slam amulet for Physical Damage over Time Multiplier (6% more dps for T1), or better yet Simplex Amulet
- Better jewels (with 3 dps/or life plus +2 max res)
- Min-max tattoo for physical damage
