Coc bloodmage

I recently started playing doedres coc bloodmage following the build from justanthony i bought all the gear it said dumped a lot of currency into the build and i keep dying to one shots. I don’t have a pob set up but the damage is great life is at 2800 and energy shield currently around 3400 and max res with all the required corrupted uniques and stuff. My question is what are some defensive layers to work on more energy shield/life or is there one key part that anyone knows for survivability I’ve watched the video and seen he has like 8k energy shield I’m not there obviously but still feel like a t15 map I shouldn’t say so easy what are some things that other people playing bloodmage focus on for the defenses I sold all my other characters stuff so I can’t even go back and I feel like I can’t progress level wise now haha lvl 92 currently btw and tips appreciated

That build must suck, you are like the millionth person to ask on this sub about it specifically from that guy.

Go on and login to poeninja and share the build.

If you went atziris on your chest you don’t have enough ES or life unless it’s a really expensive one

If your mana 3000+ then you can switch to MoM with Eldritch battery for cheap defense. With mana remnants you can over cap mana to 6500-7100. Just gotta be conservative until you pick up enough remnants to achieve that. Maybe look into frost armor if you have extra spirit.

Mind over matter, then use the ascendancy passive that converts all energy shield to life.

Make sure you have enough life to sustain 2-3 comet dropping. For example if each comet costs 800 life, aim for at least 2.5k life and dump the rest into mana.

Just looked at the ImJustAnthony build. I am curious because he was mentioned a lot when people wanna make a COC Comet BM.

He useS soul tether belt instead of HH due to him needing to recharge ES for defense, which is, weaker than HH buffs BOTH offensive and defensive imo.

I built mine using MOM with Mana being my defensive layer, which can go up to 7.5k using Mana remnant. Other layer is Artic Armor so I can sprint everywhere, even when I fall down, my Artic Armor will deal damage, slow/freeze and drop comet on me to give me time to stand up and blast.

This is my character for reference. I can carry 6 in juiced temple and down uber arbiter in less than 3s. My gears is focused on getting high rarity for Temple farming so if you want, you can add a tons of Max life and such on.

This person is like addicted to this build and has like 8 different versions across a bunch of classes. Not joking. They have a mobalytics guide too. I'll share their final version POB and their YT.

You don’t need the gloves he uses. They pretty much add nothing to the build. What you want is some high energy shield sirenscale gloves with the 60% increased effect of socketed items. 2 sockets as well. 3 if you can afford. I know the build inside and out. Mine is better than his. Matter of fact I don’t even use the belt unless bossing. Use hh for maps.

I run a variant of the same build and I use MoM and eldritch battery. 

Basically just makes your mana pool your life and your hp your resource. Far easier to stack mana than it is life. 

Not at my PC right now but I can give you my PoB if you want to compare notes. My build is not Uber insane but I've done everything that can be done in the game so it's a decent platform to go off of. 

Edit: was able to nab it on my phone. Again, not super high end and you can for sure scale it further than I have but it's something to compare with at least.
