Notes

Playstyle:

	Automated Phase Run so we're not slow af (no quicksilver here)
	Shield Charge available if you prefer
	Withered Step > Ambush > Hit

Gear:

	In some ways it's well beyond what I'd consider achievable but also I know I'm missing obvious routes to solving various problems (i.e. I don't really know various influence mods and tend not to think of or use them because of that)
	I did try and keep some of the more unrealistic options out of it (i.e. no double corrupts, not corrupting every jewel, etc)

EHP:

	I've never tried Vaal Immortal Call but brief 'Immunity to Death' seemed like a skillful thing to put on that shouldn't (if Vaal Molten Shell is any example) share CD with Immortal Call / Molten Shell
	Currently have both VIC/IC and MS disabled so as not to inflate the Max Hit numbers.
	Molten Shell has limited strength against phys due to our low Armour, so I thought I'd try running both and using whichever the situation calls for (IC for Slams, MS for big Ele hits - VIC as the ultimate 'Oh Shit' button [as if I'd know which was which lol])

Configuration:

	General:

	Kill all Bandits (we need the skill point)
	We are always Low Life (Petrified Blood & Reserved Life)
	We are always full Energy Shield (Divine Flesh means all damage penetrates)
	Disabled EHP shenanigans (I don't really know what this does tbh)

	When in Combat:

	We have 25% chance to gain an Endurance Charge on Block
	Flasks are always active (if not we're probably dead - roughly 40 seconds of flask uptime before they empty, and the tincture notable gives us 2 charges per second to each as long as we're hitting [not sure if this doubles up but I put Progenesis in the middle to feed it double just in case it does])
	We have crit recently (100% Critical Strike Chance w/ Ambush)
	We have poisoned an enemy in the last 2 seconds (Poison duration is 1.5 sec so even single target we just spam Mamba)
	43 Hits suppressed recently (This is set to the maximum our gear allows before our Chance to Suppress starts to go below 100%. ***Minimum required to reach 100% suppress damage PREVENTION is 24 suppressed hits recently***)

	For Effective DPS:

	9 Stacks of Wither from self-cast Withered Step
	Viper Strke of the Mamba caps Poison stacks at 1 (Proliferation bypasses this: Hit trashs mobs if density allows to spread, then the Rares/Uniques)
	Viper Strike of the Mamba is a true melee skill (AKA everything is Close Range)

	Skill Options:

	Sand Stance

Some mob types go absolutely nuts with spell hit counts. Beware. Consider dropping this suppress mastery on maps (especially farming Eater Altars) as you may die A LOT if you're not careful.
You'll probably need to experiment and figure out which scenarios can reliable put you into spell immune territory without overwhelming your chance to suppress.
Bossing seems like a safer scenario as you're less at risk of dropping under chance to suppress cap, but may not have enough spell hits to make you fully spell hit immune.

As mentioned on Reddit, I'm pretty new to PoE still and while I enjoy PoB warrior'ing I usually struggle to get my DPS up (for reference I think my best homebrew dps was only like 16 million and that was an achievement for me).
The intent with sharing this is not to say this is a good build or even that it's viable, but rather to show what something might look like using the Lesson of the Season's suppress template, in this case combining it with non-Svalin Block and some Fire & Cold Taken As tech.
Mamba seemed like a decent choice given the low passive investment to get it past a million dps. Also toyed around with Molten Strike w/ Inextricable Fate and Reduced Proj Speed to stack poisons but I didn't really know how to make PoB reflect reality with that, so it was hard for me to evaluate.
Let me know in the reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1fkeici/ah_victory/) if you see an issue with any of the configuration.
I'd also love to see what some of you more experienced exiles come up with. I'm sure you could slap this on something with real damage, I just don't know enough to do it. I'd especially like something didn't rely on Tinctures (piano & the passive investment sucks) and could maybe abuse Hoarfrost? GL
