↖ Introduction & Tankiness

For readers who poly-finger of God and love the ideology of the Soulrend of the Spiral Occultist Build, that concept is the absolute best if you want to play the fun AFK builds that promote a sense of tanking even whilst dry humping enemies without clicking a single skill button in-game.

• The build allows a player to fully face tank Uber Elder and all other hard to beat content lying down in the centre.
• It can take Uber Shaper slam, Katarina's kids, Uber Elder, and so on, therefore, it would be a good build for farming Ubers.
• The build has a strategy for ultimate AFK tanking which includes high regeneration, life leech, suppress endurance charges, and huge energy shield.
• For example, players can just completely go into being AFK in T17 maps and just kill every enemy in the map especially the ones in sight allowing the players to do other things whilst in the process of playing the game.

 

↖ How it Works?

The build is effective in using several active and passive abilities preferably all combative to include blood Notch, unfaltering passive, petrified blood, immutable force, energy shield items, etc for defense and dealing damage.

Solent of the Spiral is used as the main skill of this build, which allows shooting projectiles toward enemies with help of returning projectile support and brings with itself several other passives for decent damage een in a full AFK build.

 

Engaged in a dazzling stupor, when stunned support is cast, heartfelt automatic skill rotation ensues making it easy for the player to move around and vanquish enemies without breaking a sweat.

 

↖ Why Occultist?

Void Beacon 100 per cent decrease in life regeneration rate of enemies that are near ensures one only need to deal with them without any active maintenance. Vile Bastion delivers the maximum energy shield recharge after 15 seconds without requiring the user to do anything.

 

Profane Bloom is good for space clearing enemies. This is why the Soulrend of the Spiral build, and its elite skill that allows for AFK playstyles, makes the choice of the Occultist class as approproate. 

 

↖ Stun Rate + 0 ES

As we have to maintain our cast rate, it is imperative that every hit results in a stun on the character. To do this, we will make use of the Valuum Moonstone ring, which only modifies stun threshold based on energy shield instead of life.

 

Upper State is rated in such a way that most of the energy shield we have will be turned into health. It therefore would be good to have no energy shield at all. This is done by a ring that has a negative modifier to maximum energy shield so that a person's energy shield is as low as possible, though not exceeding zero.

 

Also, there is something that has to be pointed. The Disintegration of The Flash can't be included in the build as well. Although such implementation would increase DPS when healing up, it is counterproductive for afk playstyle given that healing cannot be done because life is not effective, leading in most cases, to character death.

 

Item	Requirement
Valuum Moonstone Ring	Adjusts stun threshold based on energy shield
Ring with negative modifier to maximum energy shield	Reduces energy shield to zero
Avoid Disintegration of The Flash	Not viable for AFK playstyle

 

↖ #1 Reason Why You Die

One common mistake that leads to character death is insufficient life recoup. There is also not to forget about this issue. It is reasonable to set a minimum blood notch of 50% in combination with the Unflattering passive or 60% without Unflattering. In order to sustain one's character, gaining a 30% recoup should be one of the targets as this would lessen the effect of the stunning hits.

 

This can be achieved through decorated attributes using corrupted jewels that has 6% damage taken recouped as life. Players utilizing three jewels with this modifier, whereby they do not spend too much investment can successfully achieve 30% recoup.

 

Requirement	Recommendation
Blood Notch	Minimum 50% with Unflattering passive
Blood Notch	Minimum 60% without Unflattering
Recoup	Aim for 30%
Corrupted Jewels combined with Adorn	Provides 6% damage taken recouped as life

 

↖ No Blood Magic

It should be made clear that this build leans on auras, especially on Arctic Armor, for decent physical damage mitigation. In most cases, making use of Petrified Blood is also very important as it bolsters the rest of the build's kit.

 

Using the Fated version of the Defiance of Destiny amulet it is very important to try to keep as much unreserved life as possible in order to maximize the regen. Therefore, because of Blood Magic, it would have been possible to reserve half of our life with no returns with the Defiance of Destiny bonus, which would in the end reduce survival skills.

 

• Reasons for not using Blood Magic
  
• Reliance on auras for protection against physical damage
  
• Need to reserve unreserved life for regeneration bonus
  
• Incompatibility with the Defiance of Destiny amulet
  

 

 

↖ What Map Mods We Run?

As in the case of the present build, We are confident in other more restrictive ones where similar tweaks have been introduced like 'no recovery' and 'monsters equally remove 88% of Life, Mana and Energy Shield from the players', certain combinations of modifiers our believe can pose a problem. However, such negative combinations are very few in the game meaning that the player can most of the time be running most if not all maps without difficulties.

 

↖ Important Stats

While it is indeed apparent that the efficiency of the build will be taken into account, real concerns about dexterity and intelligence need to be remedied. Here’s how to do so:

• Intelligence: Acquire Deep Wisdom to increase intelligence with the goal of attaining the required level.
• Dexterity: Use the Three Car Herald and make use of Sniper Mark at 19/18 so as not to the items’ lower dexterity so much. This will assist greatly with dexterity requirements. Target around 224 intelligence for the helmet while the rest of the gear has little to no intelligence requirements.

 

How to Get Max Resistances?

• Flasks: Apply Subire Rbe and Topas flasks with their charges to and for the resistances.
• Jewels: For every resistance jewel at least one Jool and most preferably Georepine Crimsom Diff and Crenellated or Level H be for max fire cold and lightning resistance that will give one an extra max resistance.

 

How to Cap Suppress?

You will need to Invest in Inveterate and use tattoos to increase your dexterity.

Gloves: Target gloves that provide at least a +7% chance to suppress spell damage as it would help reach the SP abpr cap without requiring more tattoos for level up.

 

How to Be Immune to Crits / Curses / Ailments?

• Stun Mastery: Stun mastery and the associated passive skill 'Hits against you cannot be critical strikes if you've been stunned recently' lessens critical strikes.
• Valerium Moonstone: Moonstone corruption can be used for 'cannot be poisoned' or 'cannot be ignited' to avoid these conditions.
• Shock Immunity: When the effect occurs use Mageblood flasks so as to gain shock immunity.
• Additional Immunities: Use items that cure you from high level of damage caused by bleeding effects and ones that curse and quickly reduce the effectiveness of debuffs.

 

Best Pantheon Pick:

• Sol of Lunaris: Reduces the amount of elemental damage taken if the character has recently been hit and increases physical damage for every enemy in the vicinity.
• Sol of Tukohama: Further regeneration and physical damage reduction is provided which is important in order to stay alive against physical damage.

 

↖ Budget

The construction is feasible within the framework of 500 divines but it is primarily because of the requirements for certain items such as Voices and a Mage Block. It is nice to put it out there that defense is very necessary in this build.

 

On the one hand, specific corruptions and changes may lead to costs that are exorbitant, on the other hand, it is apparent that one may avoid excessive costs in particular by being wise. Core items Blood No Voices, Watcher's Eye, Mutable Force, Mage Blood are as they say it's a must in the build whereas some of the other items can be obtained without much cost.

 

↖ Run Faster

For better efficiency in map clearing, if one wishes to enhance their movement speed, they should consider giving first priority to modifiers that enhance movement speed on their boots. Optimally, focus on modifiers such as maximum energy shield increase, energy shield percentage or maximum life.

 

A speed boost of 30-35%% would bring about great improvement in clearing speed for maps. Nevertheless, since this build is more on being an afk type of build, speed coat takes a back seat with the main aim being watching how much tankiness can be pushed.
