[2.2] RF Contagion/ED PHC build

Hello exile!

The whole idea behind the build was to make an all around solid build for Perandus HC league to do the challenges and not suffer through the content. This build easily deals with red maps / perandus boxes / Izaro rushes / Atziri farming. It is cheap to start with and has insane amount of room to grow if you wish to dump currency into improving the character.

Pros

- Over 1000 life regen per second for easy Lab runs and general tank setup
- 87% fire resistance for Atziri runs
- Nature of ED makes you oneshot a whole pack of perandus guardians, no matter how big the pack is
- 6.4k life pool to avoid one shots. Build is capable of reaching 7k life with levels and changes to gear
- Blasphemy temp chain and whirling blades makes easy kiting and you barely get hit if play smart
- Only need a tabula or 1-2c 5L chest to start this build
- Good phys damage mitigation thanks to basalt flask / Rumi's flask / Lighting coil
- Looks cool with RF and rise of the phoenix if you don't pay for MTXs
- 54/11% block << it's not max block but the mitigation is still pretty high


Cons

- DPS is lower in vuln / -max / -regen maps
- Not uber viable for HC league
- Expensive to get all the endgame pieces
- NOT a party build
- NOT as fast clear as spark/CoC/LA

Ascendancy

- Deadeye
This gives us 100% projectile pierce chance with pierce gem along with projectile speed which benefits clear speed A LOT. 30% increased damage is also really good since you will be offscreening hard bosses and this bonus is always up. Second projectile is pretty good for when you have like 3-4 monsters left over, you can just use ED once without wasting time on casting Contagion, so better clear speed.

- Trickster
I went with Trickster because it offers increased life regen for when you kill an enemy and having over 1000 base life regen it makes your HP spike up along with regen you get from ED (0.5% of the damage). 100% mana regen on using movement skill also helps when you are whirling around in -40% regen map lets say.

Currently Testing your build - will post some progression

current level 75

I chose to go with Hidden Potential and Winds of Change to scale a bit harder, looking good so far with 4,7k hp

Starting running this in PHC as well.

Any specific strategies for the Atziri encounters?
