[2.0] Pledginat0r Tank - 0-Mana MoM/Acrobatics/6EC

I had an RF IR incinerator. It lacked some tankyness and uniqueness, so I created the Pledginat0r.

It uses Pledge of Hands and MoM. Special thing is the 0 mana incinerate (with elreon jewelry), which allows all the mana regen to go for defense. Just 7 mana incinerate with 15 casts/s would use 105 mana/s! Additionally, I use CWDT level 1 to distribute Warlords mark, which gives LIFE LEECH, MANA LEECH AND Endurance Charges (6 charges, woot)! Everything we need really. Additionally, I have another 5l/6l which allows ball lightning and/or firestorm with blind. All this together makes the Pledginat0r pretty tanky.

Basic concept
- Pledge of Hands (100% increased mana and lvl 30 spell echo!)
- MoM
- Acrobatics + Spell Acrobatics
- 0 Mana cost of Incinerate

Offense
- Like 12k Incinerate DPS. Enough to solo play.

Defense
- MoM with 1,7k mana atm
- 6 Endurance Charges
- >5k HP (atm 5.3k - level 90 like 5.8k)
- Acrobatics and Spell Acrobatics
- CWDT1 + Ball lightning + GMP + Blind + Warlords mark

How to get mana
- 0 Mana incinerate - 100% of mana regen is for defense
- Rallying cry + increased duration
- CWDT level 1 and warlords mark (leech HP AND Mana at the same time!)
- Mana insta-pot

Gems
- Incinerate - Iron Will - Faster Casting - LMP - Faster Projectiles - Fire Penetration
- Enduring Cry - Rallying Cry - Increased Duration
- Whatever else suits your needs

Current tree (level 81)


Planned tree (level 90, with LC)



Variants

Variant 1: Default (Rare Chest)
Spoiler
Rare chest gives lots of resists and HP.

Use Chaos golem for additional physical mitigation.

40% block 46% spell block with atziris steps.

The additional 6L can be used for some CWDT shenanigans. I use:
- CWDT1 - GMP - Ball Lightning - Blind - Warlords Mark - Life on Hit

Next steps in tree:
- More Fire damage
- More mana
- More mana regen

Gear:
Spoiler






Variant 2: With Legacy Lightning Coil
Spoiler
As we already have a 6L staff, it is possible to use all kinds of chests. I bought a legacy LC for 2 ex, 6S with master. Give some fusings from time to time.
Current 4L setup:
- CWDT1 - Warlords Mark - Firestorm - Blind

Needs purity of lightning, which reserves 35% mana. Available MoM mana goes down from ~1700 to ~1100, but survivability is much better.

Use flame golem for additonal DPS.
Use Inertia Jewel http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Inertia right of scion start to convert useless dex to strength (gives DPS and HP). Luckily the amulet and boots allow this.

A bit hard to gear for (e.g. cap the resistances), and not as much HP as i thought (wanted to have >6k). Still, pretty much unkillable. Its getting boring.

Variant 3: CWDT Autocurser (Scold's Bridle)
Spoiler
This is not yet tested.
Main unique: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Scold%27s_Bridle

- Remove Elreon Amulet -> 7 Mana cost of incinerate

Variant 4: DPS 8-Link (Repentance)
Spoiler
This is not yet tested.

Use Fertile Mind jewel right of scion start to convert useless dex to intelligence. This makes it possible to equip repetance.

Main unique: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Repentance
Plus: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Fertile_Mind
