Still, that's not about leeching mana, as the second "optional" BV is linked to Mark, that's about generating charges that allow us to sustain long-lasting Immortal Call, something without which the build simply doesn't work, don't you think?

EDIT: I also realize that Romira's Banquet ( wiki ) provides power charges on non-critical hits, and that those power charges are converted to endurance charges by Voll's Devotion ( wiki ), which Immortal Call uses to provide permanent availability of 6-seconds invincibility.
... and that makes me wonder even more why there is the need for Warlod's Mark on Curse On Hit.

(I'm not trying to blame the build, OP, not at all! I want to do things right, simply, and when I don't understand, I ask, I hope I don't sound negative!)

Trust me on this. When you're fighting a lot of monsters in high tier maps, you're taking a lot of both health, AND mana damage thanks to Mind over Matter. Without warlords mark's 2% mana leach, the build has no strong way to rapidly generate mana. Most of the time you wont need to utilize this secondary BV, but I ALWAYS use it when going into boss fights. The mana it sustains is invaluable for survival. Pre-Voll's Devotion it was very nice for generating endurance charges, but I never used it exclusively for that purpose.

This is absolutely correct! :)

Then I will believe you guys, thank you for your patience :)

If I may ask how it "works", is it like that?
- I launch the damage-dealer BV until full 20 blades
- I launch once the BV with Warlord's Mark and Curse on hit
- and then I'm good?

I mean, the two BVs "accept" to mix into each other, the total number of spinning blades staying restricted to 20?

I am slowly working toward getting there, thank you :)

There's something I am finding very odd, here, if I may ask: a belt... with dexterity?!?

For the life of me, I searched on poe.trade all I could, I sought confirmation on exilemods.com and poeaffix.net, and with the exception of two rare belts, I didn't find ANY belt at all with dexterity on it.

Is that belt a special rare item of sorts, or something that would qualify as of legacy?

This is a serious question, because with my level 68 current level, I'm "wasting" an insane number of points on getting enough dexterity, and I would totally welcome dex from my belt, haha.

That said, I'm currently using "levelling" gear without added dex, and I'm aware that replacing it (when I stop being broke to the point of owning 2c in total with all sellable currencies already sold) will hopefully help relieve that burden of dex needs, and claim passive skill points back.

Simple note, if it may help other people reach at last the level 68 required by Pledge of hands, here's my "levelling" gear:
