Mortal Conviction - Another Look

"
Currently i think this cluster can be used for 3 different kind of builds:

1) Low Life / Blood Magic Aura Builds:
Obviously and already wll done be the community. 10+ Auras, Shavrons Wrappings builds with Power Siphon/Spectral Throw. These builds are very powerfull but also really expansive so that <1% of people can pull it of.

2)Life / Melee builds with Heralds
Heralds with BM/MC cost very little life to reserve for great effect. You don't even have to pick any aura reservation nodes on the tree but you can take Inner Force + Athleticism for great synergy.

3) Hybrid builds
Yes exactly! Hybrid builds with mortal conviction are pretty decent and quiet strong, even without using a Shav's/Solaris Lorica. It is a little bit complicated to work around, like all hybrid builds, but it is paying of greatly. You also may take Zealot's Oath, which is actually usefull in such a build

Just think about the possibiltys:
Hybrid Summoner/Hybrid Totem with BM/MC, 6-7 Auras on life with 33% of life pool left + high ES. Shavrons Revelation for ES Regen and Vaal Discipline.

Hybrid Melee/Ranged Attack character, 4 Auras on life with 50% life left + decent ES. Ghost Reaver for ES leech and Life Gain on Hit gem for sustaining life. You basically double your effective life pool.

Hybrid Spellcasters are also possible and strong. very expensive spells can be cast easily on BM. You can also do a 50%/50% life ES setup here and have the possibilty to go low life endgame when you find a Shavs/Solaris Lorica. You use life leech for sustaining your life pool and for example use Shavrons Revelation ring or max block Aegis Aurora for ES regen.




Sadly, it can only be used with Shavronne right now; every other option is suboptimal compared to a classic mana build.

A life/melee build with heralds is already doable, because the 3 heralds cost nothing on reservation; even without reduced mana gem you still have 25% of your mana to spam your skills which is far enough. Blood magic in this case will gimp your character, you pretty much gain nothing, in fact you LOSE life to reserve the heralds.

As for hybrid characters, on paper they sound nice but in fact you can already made them on mana alone; so why bother going blood magic+MC then ?...
