Wanted to try ward spell loop before the nerf everyone is predicting. Accidentally made a tota cheese build with 30 frostwall cast per second + knockback from other spells.

Only 1k rating because I'm too bored trying to rank up. Up until this rank every match has been the same.

My quick build review: especially with Phrecia ascendency it's very easy to get started and ended up with an absurd amount of ward.

• Defense: OP, but with a big catch
  • It's so much max hit, it's my first build that can tank maven brain blast and memory game (normal though, not uber even though according to pob i should be able to).
  • With the timeless keystone it also gives the equivalent of 100k armour and 100k evasion.
  • 99% uptime on immortal call -> 35% less damage taken
  • Recovery: besides restoring full ward every 2 server tick, we have 4% life per flask use, x4 per skeleton (I read someone testing this and the number of skeleton summoned per cast scale this), x15 cast per second, x2-3 (i have multiple flask) = 480-720% life recovered instantly per second?
  • However, Siphon Flask mob is also as OP a counter as people have said. The fact that you instantly die the moment this mob appear on the screen with no possible counter is absurd. I managed to get to lvl 96 regardless, but it's annoying enough in maps that I'd probably not play this again for this reason
• Offense: damage is okay-ish but not insane. I can still min max a lot more but 60m at around 200-300d investment is not that much.
• Playstyle: very fun. 0 button auto-bomber style. it's cool seeing all the effects spewing from your character non stop but after a while it becomes a bit noisy and overstimulating.

With ascendency tattoo I was able to get trigger bot to double the amount of spells cast while having insane ward from the main ascendency nodes. It is also my first time doing tota. It is fun but like others have said has a lot of problems. Overall I had a lot of fun this rota event. Thank you GGG.
