Liminal Coil Mana Stacking Lich Idea

Liminal Coil Mana Stacking Lich Idea

I was originally thinking of going Blood Mage and I still might, but im interested in what people think about this as an idea.

Since coiling bolts is 0 mana cost, we can go high on the mana using :

This gives us dmg without the downside of double mana. We can easily go 5 curses in Blasphemy with getting Spirit on Chest/Neck and the anointment:

The scalling (if the math is right) is something like this :

If we add chaos nodes for mode damage on the tree, and the high base damage of Coiling Bolts (which would be even higher @ lvl20) we can get up to some crazy numbers.

Defensive wise we can go Mind Over Matter since our skill doesnt cost mana and it is a good defensive layer with this build, HOWEVER, this one line presents a problem -

Less Mana recovery combined with

5% mana loss is big when you have a huge mana pool. We get 4% base mana recovery cut in half due to the 50% less so = 2%.

We can use this node to mitigate that, but if my math is correct it goes back to 42.5% which still presents an issue. Combined we would need around 200% mana regen to mitigate the 5% and it might go even higher the higher the mana pool goes. Also, we would need a nice regen after that so it can be used for our defense.

This helps a lot but still there are a lot of issues to cover with this.

I would appreciate any ideas/input on this as I like the new Liminal Coil wand and I wanna build something around it. I might have missed stuff or my math might be wrong. As a starter, I would go ED/Contagion until I get the wand.
