[2.0] Cheep High Block/Spell Block Armor Incinerate [HC Viable]

This is my first ever build guide so bear with me. Ok so this build is based on a couple of things: block, the fact that incinerate is very strong, and Cybil's Paw, and lastly armor. The core of this build is to stack high amounts of block so that when Cybil's is equiped it will add a lot of damage to incinerate. Basically all the block nodes that you see on the tree will become damage. For defense we use a high block sheild with lots of armor paired with Stone of Lazhwar and Rainbowstride. With all of these things, you basically do not take damage from anything.

This is the core skill tree

From here you have a variety of different choices to make. You can get more block (which is also more damage) over in the ranger area, you can get more armor, or take a bunch of jewel sockets. (for jewels I would recommend block/proj speed, life/proj speed, damage/proj speed, life/damage, or block/damage depending on what you need/want.) (remember that proj speed is very important as it adds range to your incinerate) I personally think that block/proj speed is the best.



Ok, onward to defenses. The core parts are high armor/block shield, stone of lazhwar, and Rainbowstride (if you can afford it).


If you have excess currency you can try to corrupt one for 2-4% Block

If you cannot afford this than you can either get The Blood Dance to generate frenzy charges for more damage or get a pair of high armor boots. Either one works but Rrainbowstride will be best in slot.

The higher armor on the rare shield will be better especially with all of the efficient increase defenses nodes that we will be getting along with the block nodes, but a Lioneye's Remorse is a nice cheap alternative that will work wonderfully well til much much later in the game.



Alright, and now offense. The most important part is to try to get a hold of a 20/20 incinerate. The 20Q will increase your range a lot and the lvl20 will be a very high DPS boost. Keeping that in mind though, the core of the offense is based around the Cybil's for the increase spell damage per block chance and the fact that we can reserve 100% of our mana because we are using the blood magic gem. The downside of running blood magic is that with a 5L you will be draining about 200 life per second, but to counteract this we will be stacking a lot of regen and Cybil's is one of the very few ways to get life gain on hit with spells.

For Auras you can either choose to run Anger+Herald of Ice and Thunder or you can run Anger+Determination depending on how safe/unsafe you feel in maps and how good your gear is. Of course the double herald will give more damage while determination will give more armor.
For Curses I run flammability, but you can also run Temporal Chains or Enfeeble if you want to be even safer.



links: I run a 5L because I cannot afford a 6L but I seem to still faceroll all of my maps. Unfortunately though this build really needs a 5L, but they aren't expensive, so just go out and buy a 5L.


Bandits:


Gear: I bought a high armor chest with a bit of health on it and 5L it myself, but realistically any old 5L with do.


Flasks: Ruby for the reflect (well what is left of it anyway) Granite for EVEN MORE ARMOR, and for the rest just have a stuanching, heat, and warding.


I think that is about it. If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask. Oh and the most important thing: HAVE FUN.
