Best part of that is that the proliferation adds seperate stacks so any mob walking over the circles will get several debuffs with the burning stacks each prolif had so you can get such insane ammount of DPS on an enemy walking over a few pools whilst you're hitting them! :)

I loled at "shit gear". Maybe Taming + 6L Belly is shit to your mirror standard.

The build is OK but not highly efficient. Blade Vortex is limited by mechanic and you make it a bit worse by not using Whirling Blade. As much as I love TamingWake combo, over time, they simply prove that they are overrated and cost-inefficient. As of now, anything using this combo is more like a demonstration of "how it works" than a serious contender for a good build.

Fun or not is subjective, so I rather leave people to judge on that.

Well for damage purposes Doryani's Catalyst is superior, in mapping you don't need that increase of damage tbh, which means spell dmg dagger with ele dmg to spells is superior as it allows for Whirling Blades.

Regarding shit gear, it is shitty prepped for Atziri, flasks are not only incorrect, they are poorly rolled as well. You can easily do Atziri in a 5L with the exact same approach, also to add that Belly is extremely cheap these days. So yes, the character is shitty geared compared to my selffound characters and also including my low budget builds I've done the past few months. The only good thing is the 6L and Taming tbh.

But yeah, as I've mentioned in my stream at several times, the build I'm sure can be done in many different ways that can surely be more effecient, the main idea of this build was to create something new & fun for the community. And as you said, fun is subjective :)

i am running this with actual shit gear. tabula with no taming, no doryanis, and basicly no defense other than leech. which doesnt even count. one weak into the two week about to hit lvl 80. and i get bored fast with builds. ill vouch it is fun.

My mission has succeeded! Thanks for sharing :) <3

for what its worth, i did make a few tweaks, dropped clarity, put both curses on curse when hit linked to herald of thunder, which basically never stops, which frees up a shit ton of mana for something else.
can use a 50% aura now. still expermenting which i like best.

That's a very nice idea, only problem I see with it is when youget overun by enemies and won't have the curses up and running if you wish to have things like Enfeeble running for safety, but non the less it is another approach to the build which I'm always encouraging people to do, nice work! :)

i have to be carefull at the beginning of a map or between long stretches with no mobs without blasphemy. but i just spam atziris promise for leech and a granite until HoT kicks in. Hatred seems to be BiS for the 50%er. 99% of map runs my tool tip dps is over 13k with about 10 blades spinning. changed my off hand to a fast dagger so nothing can hardly survive 1 whirling blade thru.
