oh first a oh I set out to build an ultimatum build, and this isn't like a new concept. There's plenty of these builds ticking around, but uh, I managed to uh, to basically get it working pretty well. Uh, so where I'm at is I actually use it to farm ultimatum and rituals. You would have seen at the very start, and it also can just keep pushing down and delve. It is not a bosser by any measure; it's absolutely horrifically bad at foring, but it is pretty good at basically everything else. And the biggest advantage of it is if you've got sore hands from playing melee, then it's only like one button. You don't need to do anything except activate your arus fire and then move around and let the build do all the work for you. So basically how the build works is we use cast and stun, right, where I can find it. There we go, and we trigger like a whole cacophony or symphony of fire skills, and the main one being Firestorm, mainly.

because we can like offscreen damage stuff. And what I actually found is there's like a few variations of this build that are ticking around using ignite and using dot, but it actually works best if you load front-end damage and then you proc ignite. So then you can use this node in the tree, which is the fire Mastery, which means critical strikes do not inherently ignite and 100% increased damage against enemies that are ignited. And then we proc Elemental overload as we're playing and then just do a pretty consistent amount of damage. It has no real issues with mapping, it has no real issues with ritual, it has no issues with delve except for bosses. Just can't do Del bosses at this stage, at least at 500 plus. Where I'm at is I'm moving down to 550 with no real major issues. It does come up to some challenges against physical hit enemies in delve, but that's about it. And it can be pretty quickly over sort of, yeah, skated over. So you just skip the node and then move

forwards, but for pretty much all other nodes, it's fine. Um, and then basically, yeah, the build basically abuses a few mechanics running petrified blood. So basically, we run petrified blood on the setup, uh, which is where is the skill, where it is, there we go. So we run petrified blood, which is denoted by this down here, and we also have a progenesis, which is about 45 div at the moment. So I actually got a 100 div ring drop out of, um, a plus one implicit endurance charge ring, um, out of ritual. So I managed to do it that way, but you could just do it by, like, azure farming, which this build can do, or just mapping, basically. Um, and then basically, yeah, we're running dark sea in combination with rise of the Phoenix, and then we're overcapping all of our reses up to 90% because we're playing the chieftain, and then heavily relying on the chieftain node, which explodes enemies called hinor Death Fury, and that

b basically just absolutely implodes enemies, and I think this got a buff up to 5% chance now from F, uh, from like 2 or 3% or something like that. But it's a small percent chance, but once it goes off, it absolutely destroys everything. And then basically, yeah, my variation of the build uses all's Uprising. They really like cheap roll. These are only like what, um, anger got to get rid of Whispers of Doom. Uh, these are like 50c, so it's 50c amulet to be able to get this to work. And then a crafted chest. And basically, yeah, everything else is crafted except for annihilated annihilations approach. And if you're wondering if that's expansive, it's like 60c. And then basically, Bally we proc um avenging uh approaching Flames as we're sort of running around blowing stuff up. And this is pretty standard on any cast uh when stun build in particular in the previous leagues. And then yeah, basically we then proc all of our skills so we use blazing Salvo.

I've got an overcharge setup, so I can proc some Shock, and then that increases my damage to Firestorm. And then basically what I'm doing is just ramping up the gem level, so I have no awaken gems in this setup yet, but uh, that's coming next, and then they'll get up to about level 28 or 29 by the time I'm done. And I've got a way to get around having to use the dark sear as well. It's a more expensive solution um with Mage blood. This build will basically be n unkillable um, but the other thing that it also requires is cast and stun builds require the um valerium. And what this ring does is it means a stun threshold on your character is set to your energy shield. And then we run the agnostic on the energy on the on the tree, which is this here, pardon me, which means our energy Shield is zero, which means we're always getting stunned right. And then basically we run blood Notch, which gives us life recovery from getting stunned.

and then we also run immutable Force, which are nowhere near Max RS. This build's got a long way to go, and then basically you get stunned constantly, and as you get stunned, you then use the castman stun setup, which is here. And then basically, this is set up on everything, so we proc blazing Salo, flame wall, Firestorm, also flammability, and Punishment because we have Whispers of Doom, so we have double curse in this, and then purifying flame, flame Surge, and mol shell all on castman stun setups. And the other thing we do because we're running petrified blood is this is a blood magic setup as well, so it basically means that we can get around a lot of the issues that come with Mana reservation. Something to keep in note, which could be useful for other builds, is Champion that causes overall reservation, not Mana reservation, and the same applies to this node over here too, leader of the pack. They made that change this league. I don't think it looked like that last League, which means blood magic.

builds are definitely way more viable than they used to be. And then basically we reserve our life. So in my case, I reserve Vitality, petrified blood, and also use righteous fire because we have like 3 and a half thousand or something like that life regeneration. And then also deferred life damage taken with petrified blood and progenesis. This build works fine without progenesis; it's just a tiny little less tanky. Progenesis is just really good quality of life. And then we also use purity of fire with eternal blessing. And now normally, eternal blessing would stop you from being able to use um other auras, but basically how this works is because it's running a blood magic setup, you can run as many auras as you want because you're reserving life instead of mana. This only stops you from reserving mana, so it allows you to use one aura, which basically means you can use as many auras as you can stack in your build. In my case, I can actually fit more auras if I

wanted to and then use some life reservation efficiency to get around that. And then yeah, I then run anger as well, which is uh zero reservation from all's Uprising. So we have no reservation for purity of fire and anger. So we actually stack like five auras into the build, more or less, with no reservation. What's or like two of those or three of those have no reservation whatsoever. And we're only reserving for vitality and petrified blood. So realistically, you could take like the um, you could probably take something else out of here and you know, stack it up orever you want to go. But yeah, there's other things that you can do with the build to optimize it a bit better. But this is working really well for me so far, and it's getting me a little bit of currency. Like I'm up like 50 div right now, uh, less what I spent today. So I'm making currency with it. So yeah, it's working really well. But yeah, anyway, uh, that's the mechanics. And then basically, you don't have to click any

buttons. You just turn on your righteous Fire Shield, charge your way through, and you just get yourself hit, and uh, and you just explode the entire screen as you would have seen on The Boll at the very start. So, it's really easy to play, number one, and really good if you're super tired and you fall asleep in front of the computer like I did the other night, and then you wake up and realize that your character is still alive because it's so damn tanky. It takes no damage or it can't really die. Uh, it just regenerates its way through death. But anyway, Let's uh, let's go on the build, and we'll talk about some of the mechanics, the PS, and all the rest of the stuff we usually do. So, let's get into the video. Okay, so for the PO, we'll just do a PO quick po check. Now, I've had to calculate full DPS down here. Sorry about the uh, the screen's a bit weird 'cause of the resolution on this monitor, but um

basically, yeah, how this works is its DPS is not the highest yet. Well, it's not ever going to be the highest, but I can get it to about two times higher than this, and I'll put an optimized PO. 'Cause before I went to bed last night, I was tinkering with the build. Um, I'll put an optimized PO down below, which is level 99 that you could target if you want to play this build. It gets to like 8 something mil, that's its hard cap at this stage. Um, it's not a lot of DPS, but it's super tanky, but it's not designed to be taking down um bosses. It's totally designed to just farm ultimative ritual, like easy map farming, all that sort of jazz. So, it's a relatively cost-effective build outside the progenesis, and you don't need the progenesis. Like, I built the final POV without progenesis, so you don't need it. Um, and it does or will eventually encompass things like Co and things like that too as we level up to

like level 95 at this stage, but anyway, so p check on the configurations. So basically, we kill all Bandit solar Sol solar grth cool time spent stationary 5. The reason for that is we do use Nature's patience um, and so we stand still, we do more damage essentially, and we get tankier. Now, if we could get frenzy charges into it, uh, it does increase our damage by half a mil there, and then it's like a mill on my final tree um. We do have endurance charges, and this is coming from our um in ex exorable node uh, because we constantly get hit, so we generate a lot of charges uh, and then basically adrenaline comes from the boots, so annihilations approach that comes from our boots. FL charg active yes UNC consecrated ground yes. The reason why is we have purifying flame in the build uh, wherever it is there we go purifying flame, and that drops consecrated ground. So uh yeah, we have consecrated ground on the ground uh, have you been hit recently yeah we're

always getting hit and then have we been stunned recently. Well, it's a cast on stun build, so we're required to get stunned all the time. Now we have flame walls, so projectiles are traveling through the flame wall. It's not like a huge damage thing, but it just makes it a little bit better. We'll remove that out. So, are you on? Is the enemy on low life? This sort of cheeses the damage a little bit because I do run a punishment setup. So, if you take this off, it does drop the damage down to like 2.74 n mil. So, you got to get En down in health pretty quickly. But my final build takes that into account, recompenses that. So, if you want to know how to overcome that issue, then basically my secondary po deal with that. And that's where I'll be building this build into. Is the enemy burning? Yes. Ignited? Yes. All the nodes on the tree get us to almost 100% ignite. So, basically, we're taking all these ignite notes down here. We also take ignite on

here so I think we're at like somewhere between like 75 to 85% ignite, which is good enough. Shocked enemies, yes, we run an overcharge in the setup, um, because I was playing around with it, and I'm still trying to get the bearings as to whether it's any good, but we do have a 50% chance to shock using our flame wall in our blazing Salvo, so that's pretty cool. Uh, so we have 15% there. Are enemies exposed to fire? Yes, we have that built into the gloves, so basically our gloves have fire exposure on hit as well. Uh, Guardian Pinnacle boss damage, that's basically all there is to it. It's not like a super complicated build, it's just tedious to set up initially, but once it starts popping off, it gets really good. Okay, so gearing-wise, so we've got V's Vision. The reason why we use V's Vision is we get, if we have nothing corrupted on the build, so you cannot have corrupted items on the build, we get 12%

increased maximum life. We get increased light radius as well. Um, and we have 400 life regenerated per second if no items are equipped that are corrupt. Basically, this is then extrapolated with your percentage gain across the P, across the tree, and everything else for Life regeneration. And we like idly sit on like 2575 um energy Shield regeneration, which is pretty good. Now, if we did put in like up bidden flesh and Flame, so we could put in untiring, and this would just ramp this up to all sorts of crazy levels. But anyway, uh, we use dark sear mainly because we get life from this, and also we get plus two to all spell skill gems. And there's a bit of blind that comes out of this too. Uh, rise of the Phoenix sort of works the best. I had a look at dawn breaker for the conversion, but this gives you plus five to basically all your Elemental over Caps or resistance overc caps. You get increased movement speed, 100% IGN avoidance to ignite, plus 25 resistance for fire, which gives you

you know increased life regeneration, and it also gives you a flat 200 life regen per second, so it's just the best in slot at this stage. Uh, I use an All's Uprising with a Whispers of Doom setup, and basically this allows me to have Anger at no reservation. It also increases my life strength and armor, which this build needs 'cause it's a bit thirsty for it. Now, I got really lucky in delve, and this is a delve ring that just dropped. Um, and basically I've... you don't need the in-life reservation efficiency; it's quite redundant. But I did get a really good chaos roll on this, and so yeah, that's what I'm running with. I could upgrade this out and make it a lot better though. Um, my chest piece, I bought like a 2,600 uh chest piece that was already pre-done, and it was really EAS. I just six-linked it myself, um, which is pretty cheap and easy this league with the trade markets. You just get fusions like they're going out of fashion, and then

obviously I hit my implicits, which is 10% of physical damage from hits taken as fire and 9% taken recouped as life, which is really good for the build. We obviously need a valerium 'cause it's cast on stun when stunned, so you'll need that. Uh, gloves: I've got fire exposure, and I get my ignite prof on my gloves, even though you don't really need ignite prof, but it definitely helps. Um, and then basically it's just life regeneration rate, any resistances, uh, attributes as well 'cause it's a bit hungry for decks and intelligence. Builds a little bit of a dum-dum and not very agile. And then basically we just have flat life where we can and any armor. These are not very good gloves; these are going to be upgraded, so don't stress. Uh, belt: hypnotic lash. I'm tossing up whether or not I change out to tides of war, um, but for now this is working for me. But basically it gives me a ton of life. Um

regeneration, chaos resist, and a heap of life. And it has given me block recovery and stun recovery, which I do need. But yeah, currently, this is sort of an area of improvement. And then obviously, Annihilation's approach, which pretty much needed. It means we cannot be chilled, cannot be frozen, and we get approaching flames, which also gives us flame touched as well, which gives us adrenaline. So it makes us extremely fast, tankier, can't be stopped, and we do a lot more damage with it too, significant increase to damage. Okay, so for gem setups. So in the helm, we're running flame wall with overcharge, castman stunned, blazing salvo. In the weapon, we're running cast wind, stun, flammability, and punishment at this stage because we got whispers to doom, so we can do two curses. And then we have in our shield vitality, righteous fire, and petrified blood. In the chest, we got firestorm, elemental focus. We've got control destruction and power. We've

also got Casp and stunned and fire penetration in the gloves. We've got purifying flame, castman stun, molten shell, and Flame Surge. And then we've got anger, we've got Shield charge, and then purity of fire with eternal blessing in the boots. Now, as far as the PO, it's pretty boilerplate for this type of build. I did something similar with um deto dead last league, and there's a few other creators that have put out builds similar to this, but not quite. I really like the all Uprising. I think it gives me a lot of front-end damage. I don't really like dot dot; it doesn't feel good on this build, um, but for some players, it might just not for me anyway. So, we come down and we get our life nodes in here up to Heart of the warrior, Warrior's blood. Now, we could take these nodes back and we could put them into like our cluster dual setups and stuff like that, but I haven't played with that yet. Uh, and then we come down, we need to have this

unfaltering node, and we get hits against you cannot be critical strikes if you've been stunned recently, so it's CR immune. Other, we come down, we get the bloodless node with 30 life on the Mastery. We get armor Mastery with 20% increased armor per second once you've been stationary, um, and then we obviously need blood magic. We get Juggernaut, and then we want an immutable Force, the stamina node, barberism, hearty with the regenerate 50 life per second. We come up now in my cluster setup. I have basically a um, a cromat setup, a widespread destruction setup, and smoking remains. Realistically, like, you just need it for the clustering area, but yeah, cromat and widespread um, destruction is pretty good. And then I've also got Nature's patience, and I haven't built out what I'm going to do next with it. That'll be in the second build update for this um, which will be hopefully coming out in the next few days once I gear this up a bit better. And then basically, we go devotion down up to

discipline and training into sanctity as well. Then we want the endurance node and then a blood Notch Jewel up in this socket up here. And we also want to grab Divine judgment. We need the agnostic, so we have to rush this point. And this is how our castman st's going to then start triggering. And then basically purity of Flesh and the life nodes up to Holy Fire. We need the chance to ignite, plus one life regeneration per overcap Fire Res. And we have a lot of that on the build. Um, and then we come down. We want to grab Elemental overload and also the strength node or the might node 'cause we sort of run a bit on strength at that point. And then we come across. We want all the fire nodes in the radial here and also fire Mastery, critical strikes do not inherently ignite, and 100% increased damage with hits against ignited enemies. 'Cause your other skills ignite. Um, or basically everything ignites except for Firestorm because we're running um

Elemental um focus so we can't ignite, but everything else will ignite, and we run like four or five other skills. Um, then we need infused flesh, and this one's really important. I found life Rec effects instead occur over 3 seconds for some reason. It hits a break point with regeneration, and it works really well with petrified blood. It's like regenerating almost at the same rate as petrified blood, so you will need that. I tried it without, doesn't really work. And then basically I've got a watches ey, which gives me life recovery rate, which gives me like 400 extra life regeneration or something of that nature. And 58% increased fire damage while affected by anger. Now cency wise, basically you want to get, you want to cap out your resist resistances early with vaco storm and Brace, then go to hur's death Fury, and then finally ramico Sun's light. And this is going to give negative resistance to enemies around you, so you do a lot more damage. Basically, we're stacking up a lot of

negative resistance with this build, but that's basically it for the treat. It's not like super crazy; it's really much the same as the detonate dead build from last League, except using different skills. Okay, so yeah, that's pretty much it for the build. I'm going to do a separate video talking about ultimatum and optimizing it, 'cause I'm sort of getting a bearing for it. Um, and the build's feeling pretty consistent now with where it's at, so yeah, I sort of want to play with it. I've definitely figured out what nodes to take and not to take. Um, 'cause yeah, uh, taking ruin and whatever just wrecks ultimatum, but um, yeah, I've got to sort of uh, play around with the tree a little bit to optimize it and whatnot. But anyway, we'll be experimenting with it over the next few days, and I'll do a video on that too. But for now, if you just want an easy build, like you can delve with this build and just do azerite farming, like it'll work.

really well for that too. Um, ritual. I tried delirium. It can't get past like wave 13. I initially had issues with kosis, just the damage output's not quite there yet. So I'll fix that over the next few days, and hopefully it will be able to get closer to that point where it can do a lot more front-end damage. Um, and then basically, yeah, can uh, wouldn't do it for blight. Uh, it's not very good at blight because it relies on getting hit. You don't want that in blight. But um, anything else you can think of where you have to be highly defensive and just face-tank stuff, it can pretty much do that. Uh, bossing is not designed for bossing, but it's decent for mapping, and I'm getting it to the point where it can drop t16 Maps, just Al go t16 Maps, or Delirious Maps as well. It does pretty okay at too. Anyway, if you like this type of video, uh, don't forget to like and sub to the channel. Don't forget to follow.

the twitch. I'll be online a little bit later. I just got to go to the gym because I promised myself I'd get there tonight. But uh, anyway, I'll talk to you guys later, and I will see you when I'm online again.
