incenarte blocking build - tought and help

hi, so im trying to make a new incenarate build, focused on blocking .
with the new uniq paw, thx to blocking it will get 90% increased spell dmg, which is nice, and also each of incenarate hit will get back 8 life per hit (and it hit alot and fast), and maybe that will be enough to remove life leech gem from this skill.

now if im totally wrong about this, please tell me.

will use one of those 2 passives :

1.http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEAAecCcQPGBLMFLQVbBg4J9gz3EmkUIBRNFHEXHBkuGjIaOBpVHRQfAiWtJ-0oxSlPLJw2xTbYNug26TpSPC1G10kbTDVQR1BQUWBUSVXGVw1YY1nzXcZeE18_YEthIWP9ZKNmnnF5dO165nrvgpuE74dliBuLjIzPj0aQVZwtna6ezaC0ogCnCKcwp4SplayqrK-vbK-3tQS53cAaw4bE9sWKxtjPZdDQ0iHUfNSP2CTZYd-_4XPjauQi51LnaueR6dXsOOxV7SDvDu-F8B_xbPIv877z3fZI-tL7qv0L

which will go for blood magic and a bit higher dmg.

which will go with alot of mana , EB and a bit lower spell dmg, but will use arctic armor (connected with BM - for manageable mana), and higher max res (purity).

on this ill go auras : clarity,purity, and temptest shield connected to life leech and stuff to make it dmg higher.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

items ill use:
-The Anvil (10 % block + 3 max block + life + mana gain on block).

- new uniq paw : Cybil's Paw
- kahom heart

(maybe Shavronne's Revelation and Dream Fragments on passive tree number 2)
all other slots will go for res + life (or if u have any other suggestions - ill be happy to hear).

ill use incenarate + faster casting + faster projectiles + LMP
(most that go for 6l use the other two slots for mana and life leech, which i hope i can skip)

any comments will be welcome, thx

Incinerate has a 20% damage effectiveness, which means that the 8 life returned become 1 or 2, depending on rounding. Less appealing.

Stuns and, I think, the blocks you do when a hit would have stunned you if you didn't block, interrupt the build-up of incinerate, taking you back to stage 1. This can be annoying - but you might have enough life to make this not a problem?

u sure that dmg efectivness work that way with life on spell hit?

and i do hope i have enough life for not getting stuned

If your struggling with incinerate interrupts you can always use knockback plus quality incinerate gives faster projectiles (2 per 1%) so might save on a slot.

Why would damage effectiveness affect life on hit? Life on hit is not damage.

also incinerate effectivness is 100% on the LAST stage of it, thats why you take static shock and added lightning damage.

Damage Effectiveness no longer is applied to LoH, was changed together with damage calculations a few patches ago. Maybe this will be changed in the future, maybe not, but at the moment you will get 8 life per spell-hit with Cybil's Paw.

Stuns can interrupt building up Incinerate, but if the stun/block animation isn't too long, you won't lose the current stage. You can stop casting for a very short moment and then start again without dropping to stage 1, so maybe this could work without stun immunity.

I'm playing an incinerate-block-build currently at lvl 66:
http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgMAAnEC4wSzB2MHpQx9DkgQexB_ES8RUBGWFVAabB0UHwInqSlPKwosnDbFOtg74UNjRwZJG0myTdhRYFcrWPVfamaebRlxTXvXf8aBb4IQh2WIa4t6jHaPRo_6mZqaz5wtna6dxJ48oqOnCKcrqZWvt7TFtve3MbiTu9a-OsEAwcXB88Lsw23Gntgk2xrb59-w4vfjhOQi5oHrY-wY7Dj1S_fB-tJwfU99gFY=

This build will have max block when lvl8x is reached. I'm using pain attunement and righteous fire on low life for damage boosting and Daresso's Courage as shield for max spell block. Support gems are: faster casting, increased projectile speed, greater multiple projectiles, life leech, mana leech. Killed Piety in merci with lvl60 without problems.

While I think this new claw is a great item for my build, I doubt that it will allow me to drop life leech. With real good faster casting % you probably get to 12,5 casts per second, therefore 100 hp/second/target. This is way inferior to life leech and will outperform it only on groups of 15+ monsters. Not to mention it sucks at bossfights even if Cybil's give 400 hp/s due to shotgunning (not sure about this). On the other hand a good rare wand can give me much more spell dmg and faster casting. A perfect one would have a high projectile speed roll too, what would allow me to drop increased prohectile speed gem and use fire penetration or the new empower support gem.

I`d advise to get the `Cannot be stunend` mod as else your Incinerate will get interrupted by your blocking.
