New Keystone: Celestial Pact

Nice.

energy shield does not block chaos damage this keystone would be good for early game but can and would prove detrimental if you have creeps with chaos aura's and on hit things taking away life leech is a pretty steep cons in my opinion without it most of my melee builds dont work.

Well my initial thinking was to make this as much of a counter to Vaal Pact as possible so I added the life leech restriction. But the health flask benefit alone makes taking Vaal Pact silly so there isn't really any need to it.

To be honest I'm sure the devs can come up with something better to make HP+ES tank builds viable, I just wanted to get a concept going.

+1

i really like that

that you did i mean the idea itself is quite unique i like it don't get me wrong i like it im just saying the biggest reason people take CI is so they don't need to worry about Chaos at all and in the end yes it needs decent gear but you totally circumvent the need for hp look at kripp's templar sweep build i mean he does maps with that dude that no one dares to take i think people underestimate how powerful CI can turn out to be with the combinations of other keystones.

what im trying to say is CI downside will can be almost completely ignored with the right gear/keystones

your keystone could be as well there is a piece of gear that doesn't allow chaos to ignore ES but from what i can tell that is a very high end piece of gear.

You'll still have Health since it's a Hybrid build. You will need some more chaos resist than a pure Health build, but a Shavronne's isn't mandatory.

yeah thats true

ps
i like your photoshop skills very nice

Thanks!

Also, I personally believe we'll see higher flask tiers than hallowed, if only to compete with the monster that is life leech with end-game DPS.

Instead of 100% going to ES and 0% to life why not change it to 50%/50% and now you have something to counter chaos damage in a hybrid build (besides life regen isn't restricted from this).
It also makes it less interessting in the now CI-meta because those potions would be 50% less effective.
