Hi travelers,
Is it so that the Chaos Bolts which procs from Flay use only 2 mana, and so in the CB tree the per hit per cursed 2 mana gives back 8 mana as in 4 projectiles? So you gain mana while the CB hits hit a target with a curse? As I think mana sustain is the only problem of the build that I am suggesting.
Has anyone tried to increase mana to enormous amounts so that the hits of CB would not matter but the bleed stacks of it? Together with high AS there could be hundreds of bleed stacks on the enemy from CB hits + for the curse could have Spirit plague with the bleed stacking from laceration: chance to inflict bleed on hit.
The scaling would be bleed chance + mana + phys dmg.
No, the procced Chaos Bolts from Flay are singular Chaos Bolts for 2 mana consumption, not a whole âcastâ of Chaos Bolts.
So with the mana on hit node in Chaos Bolt it does still pay for itself, but doesnât generate mana. In practice it even cosumes more mana than it costs because sometimes Chaos Bolts miss or the target is already dead before they connect (because they are slightly delayed)
But generally your plan in stacking mana and have Chaos Bolts stack ailments does work very well. CB is possibly the single best skill in the game for stacking ailments. Either triggered or self cast.
I have not done mana stacking ailment variation with it myself, but I know a lot of people did and weâre successful with it.
I just did a Hit/Crit variant with my own Unique Executionerâs Tithe and just having a single affix of armor shred already gave me hundreds of armor shred stacks. With any other ailment that you actually want to stack without as much diminishing return as armor shred you should easily get magnitude more stacks.

Umbral Blades/Shuriken could possibly be better for single target given how much bleed/poison chance a Rogue can get & both skulls shotgun (if you take Deadly Aim in Shuriken) & 3x Bladestorm firing off Shuriken.
