I would go trickster and then get the free movement skill, go cyclone and do poison. Then scale chaos/damage over time. Defenses wouldn't be the best I guess, that would be the one downside.
I'm almost certain Death's Oath is still terrible; it only has two damage supports that work.
We don't know that at all. For all we know the skill will be a spell.
(I want to dream, don't take this from me before we knwo for sure)
Actually we do. Devs gave us its tags. It is aura, aoe, chaos, DoT And they said Animate Guardian cannot use it.
PoB says a Dark Pack self cast Berserker can do up to 1 300 000 dps with conc effect (almost 1 mil to Shaper) , 844 000 dps with inc area :D :D And that with 10000+ life I smell nerf incoming before release :D
I don't wanna give up on auras though. Arctic armor and temp chain aura + mom. That's a lot of survivability while the damage seems comparable/higher given that it skills into area dmg as well.

60% mana reservation would hurt your EHP with MOM hugely, probably over 1000+ EHP lost.

That's true but I'd say temp chains aura and arctic armour is worth more and 247% increased life should be decent enough as base for EHP with whatever left over mana there is.

In some situations I would agree, but in the situation you describe I am not sure I do. You will still get great benefit from temp chains on a cwdt, and since your life total is so big it's actually more important to have a bigger mana pool so that you can use your MoM efficiently.
also I would just like to say, sob3k's tree is really impressive first time i've seen a blood magic tree I actually like, in a very long time
though personally I think occultist is a better choice for dark pact anyways

You mean my tree?
If not or you do, I edited it slightly to remove some extra life regen and fix bandit rewards that were left over from original tree link.
Also I think I might have found my 3rd build for 3.0 once I get a bit rich and also first good RAT build I made: https://pastebin.com/vWpB38fE Inquisitor crit Chin Sol Blast rain totems.
Any comments? Edit: also how smart would it be to try this as league starter? I can use tabula for a while and then only need to buy lioneye jewel and eventually signal fire (can use the avatar of fire until then). Chin sol should not be too expensive.
okay I am thinking of switching to elemental EK nova at the 11th hour here
if I convert basically everything to elemental, what do I need to do to survive reflect? I have vaal pact, but where is my leech coming from? Belt + flasks?
is saffel's frame a reasonable choice to help reflect survivability?
I'm dropping traps and walking away from enemies. I'm really digging the map semirandomization and the currency system. 6 more acts with the new expansion thats nuts.

Mechanically thats probably gonna be pretty miserable, with the totem placement followed by the delay on blast rain, the totems might even have trouble staying alive as you will want to place them close to enemies due to point blank.
Belt of the deciever is probably not worth running as you wont be close enough to apply it most of the time, you have barely any regen and no leech so its all health pots.
The gear you have on it currently is also pretty damn good, so it would be much weaker as a start.
BR totems sound pretty memey but it just seems really weak, you can do like 3x the damage without them, have more life, and leech.

Waggles guide is what you're looking for:
e: Leech comes from boots enchant, CwdT & CoH Warlord's setup.

My understanding is that self casted Dark Pact does not add your removed life to the damage. That's only when you use skels.

Well theres those unique rings that reduced reflect damage(sorry cant remember the name), or you could be an elementalist or scion
Ya'll probably hate when ppl ask, but whats/if any is a good/cheap League Starter melee based build? Feel like actually hitting stuff up close atm lol.
Ran EQ Jugg last season as my new starter build, and it felt good enough to get myself off my feet to setup other better builds.
