So for the next week or so, I'll be doing a 20 Divine build each day. Try to look for different build concepts on different ascendance and see how each build performs against T16s, T7s, Uber bosses, whatever other content the game has to throw at you, other than maybe Rogue Exiles. So this particular build was actually inspired by my second favorite League of Legends player, Duft, who sent me his PO, which was just absolutely dog [__], but it did bring to light the idea of pairing perfect eggy with lightning tangs of eccentricity. Basically, this skill allows you to critically strike. It guarantees that critical strike once every six hits, so it pairs really well with Marilyn's fallacy and perfect Agony, 'cause you're not really worried about the non-critical strikes, and you're able to get a guaranteed CRI strike scale that really heavily with marilan fousy for a ton of crit multi, and then turn that crit multi into dot multi with perfect Agony.

furthermore, though this also averts the need to grab Critical Strike chance, something often sought after on ignite-based builds that aren't Elementalist. So, I'm much more easily able to click the tricker, aseni probably the strongest aseni this patch. Before continuing on this build, really comes short probably in terms of play style. You do need to channel for roughly 7 seconds per pack to get that ignite off for that sixth pulse. However, the coverage of the skill is still fairly decent because it is an ignite build, and ignite proliferation is really nice for its spread as a bosser and all-rounder. Though, I think this build really shines, giving you a really comfortable play style, sustain damage with good uptime, defensive shell based on tricker, getting ailment immunity, stun immunity, a ton of recovery, a ton of avoidance. I think this is almost at evasion cap. However, aside from the skill choice and initial scaling, I would say that the offensive setup is still fairly meta, using a frenzy SL Affliction charge stacking R build. But despite this, I

think there's still some really interesting tech within the build to highlight that really increases the effective damage of this build much more than you'd expect. Don't worry though, the next build will 100% not be a stacker, it will 100% not be a poison build. Even more though, this character is still deathless. That means despite running it into Uber c17s, whatever, it still got a slash death at zero. So it's got my HC stamp of approval. And in total, it cost 15.4 divines to set up. If you're questioning this number, which you shouldn't be 'cause it's not super, super high performing, I just think it's really solid for its budget. You can go check out the Twitch VODs. Obviously, I'm also working with an eony 1 month into the league, but I still think it's fun to have this sort of constraint as you're building things, especially now when it's really hard to get away from making purely perfect items for builds. So actually, the first thing I want to

highlight is this fire Mastery. This 50% chance to refresh ignite on Critical Strike I think is really interesting. So one thing to know about lighting tendril of eccentricity is that it has a super high damage variance, like a lot of other lightning spells. So basically, the moment you have a really big ignite, you want to make sure that ignite is persisting. One way that people do that, especially in like, you know, DD ignite, people will grab defiled forces, but I don't want to do that. Instead, I opt for this fire Mastery because I do crit really often, and anytime I'm able to get a really big ignite, I'm able to generally refresh that ignite as long as it doesn't run out. And my ignite duration on this is still pretty decent, hitting at about, yeah, 5 seconds. So you have more than one chance to get the refresh. So that's why the damage consistency may not always be there. Though another thing to note, I really like taking this wheel on trickster. I think this particular area is really

underrated on trickster, and I think this is tree pathing that I haven't seen before, but I think it's really, really efficient. Obviously, on perfect Agy, keep the crit multi here, Wicked Ward here, and the essence surge here, which really helps out with your es recharge. The other thing is that Steep and profane is really strong because I'm an anathema build. Curse stacking is just absolutely insane, and I do run Alchemist Mark. I really prefer this over flame surge, even though flame surge is really strong. Alark has a lot of smoothness. It also enables better frenzy generation on bosses with this Mark Mastery, also giving you Mark um notables and stuff like that, which really increases your damage. So, Alchemist Genia or Alchemist Mark, rather, with these three curses and a focus helmet, is really nice and helps to retain sort of more of a one-button play style, although it's not really that on bosses. Generally speaking, though, this is a tree that should look fairly familiar if you're used to building um frenzy.

stackers of perfect Agony. I am skipping the last frenzy charge over here. Instead, I'm opting for disciple of the slaughter because I noticed that this gives better frenzy generation while you're mapping. I also go for Wind Dancer. You could play for one cluster here, but yeah, a fairly compact tree, and you love to see a really compact tree. It means that the build generally has a much more efficient cell to begin with, or efficient shell, rather, in terms of a skill setup. Um, this is a l tangal six link, pretty straightforward over here. I've got purity of elements, um, Grace, and then I'm running arrogance Clarity. I think that Mana cost is quite difficult this patch, and we lost to Bild skill Elish battery and Mind Over Matter, unless you want to go that with like March Legion, which I really don't want to do because, you know, Rices. Um, so arrogance Clarity is really nice. Generally speaking on tricksters, even when they're hybrid, your HP pull doesn't really get touched. So you might ask why not go CI. Well, one, I

can run this and two your HP does get touched sometimes in those very rare occasions. I do find that I'm able to react, so I prefer to play the hybrid setup until you hit about 10K. Sigil is probably the skill that I use least often; it's just there because I had extra gem sockets. I run a frost link with combustion, again just free gem sockets. I don't really expect this to hit all the time, but it is what it is. V Smite is one of those skills that I like to use at the very start of a boss fight or right after an intermission phase ends. I don't really worry too much about uptime here, but it is really strong, obviously, to have this, and you do have some duration here and then some duration over here, so that's really good. This particular duration, Noe entropy, is also really good because it extends your curse duration, which is quite important because I'm not playing temp chains and I'm using a focus helmet, so I'm only able to really apply my curses once.

every 12 seconds, and then lastly, you see this quad Cur setup. Really straightforward stuff, and you can see a fairly simple build using a lot of Baseline uniques. Um, I could try to go over the budget of these things. Um, so as far as uniques go, dark sear is a two Divine for a plus two plus two. I think this is a great defensive weapon. Obviously, offensively, there are better weapons to go for, but this is really nice. BR cach speaks for itself. Marily FY have spoken already. Anatha is really nice when you to play a curse stacker, especially as a shadow. You always have access to one point in fuse, which is just amazing. Storm fire is the thing that enables ignites. I might have forgotten to mention this earlier, but obviously, without this ring, lightning tends can't ignite unless you have, say, like, shaper of flames as an Elementalist. So, a really cool ring to have, and also increases your mapping DPS by quite a lot. Alesas is a great belt for this, plus one frenzy, also plus one

Affliction charges, and it actually allows you to get, you know, sizable shocks on non-Ubers, which is pretty cool. The Watcher eye run over here is for faster ignite. I do need to play this Watcher eye over here, as opposed to say over here, or yeah, I can't play over here because it would remove Ghost Dance, and if I play it down here, it removes Wind Dancer. So, this is one of the only places where I can actually play this lethal Pride. I run a Watcher's eye for Grace evade, Peri of om, Plus One Max res. This was three divines. It's actually the most expensive item on this whole build. Um, this is the second most expensive at 2.3 divines. Um, this is a self craft though. And then I play a meal B Force for St mitigation, and then a light of meaning for fire damage that goes over here. You can also play a lightning damage light of meaning, but obviously that's much more expensive 'cause there's a ton of archage characters. So, this is like a

fairly cheap option to go for. It's, I think, like one and a half divin, something like that. Rares on this build, just, you know, really easy to get decent rare jewels on this 'cause no one really wants burning damage with lightning crit multi. So, this jewel was two chaos, plus one lightning damage, increased fire damage. Shield, again, not generally a type of rather combination mods that someone looks for. This was actually a 30 chaos shield, which is just awesome 'cause it doesn't have life. Um, this is actually a one Divine helmet, I believe. Um, it already had it as implicits ruled, so I went for that. And I like to have a little bit of Rarity for gold Farm. As far as the necrotic armor, this was bought six link at 130 chaos. It was dense fossil. I used 11 dense fossils, and then I used three Elders chaos to recraft suffixes, just to remove life regen. Gloves were another 30 chaos item. I self R implicit afterwards, and those are the rares, so

Yeah, a fairly simple build, not the craziest, most innovative concept, but I think at least using a fairly off-meta skill. And it's one of only two characters on PE ninja right now running eccentricity with perfect agon. If you're interested to play this kind of build, I think it's really easy to set up. It's probably one of the more simple ideas that I'll be putting forward for this week. Hope you enjoy. If you have any other ideas regarding especially perfect Agy with, you know, guaranteed crit skills, I'm always interested. Plum Pursuit has caught my eye, but this is what we've set up for now.
