Bijouborne build ideas?

You can check out Misos Glacial lance Ritualist. It’s not a new concept but the idea is to self damage with lightning his helmet and chest (forgot the names sorry), constantly trigger valakos and make use of CoCU. I thought about trying the same thing with flicker and resonance

I tried to get cast on charm use to work w/ ritualist, life stacking, recoup, self ignite, and beira’s last league. All I had to do was run around and my unique burning ground boots would proc beira’s anguish once every couple seconds. The biggest upgrade I made to the build was getting an overcorrupted reduced charm duration belt for more beira’s procs. After many divs invested I could facetank t3 simulacrum. Mapping/bossing left a lot to be desired. It was fun playing vampire survivors in poe2 though.

Only thing that really utilized that belt honestly is reduced charm duration for ritualist charm usage builds, mainly for charge generation. This is because it can roll 50% reduced charm duration or higher with corrupting.

The cast on charm use is negligible and you can only have one active charm anyway (two with heart if the well “% chance to use adjacent charm without consuming charges” mod) so it has an internal cooldown technically. The heart of the well mod also isn’t very reliable since I think it’s a 10-15% chance max. This leaves you with 4 seconds of no energy gain on cast on charm and a single charm use doesn’t even proc profane ritual iirc, been a while since I played around with it and tried making something offmeta work.

I don’t understand why we don’t have a mage blood equivalent “charms are always active can’t be removed etc” belt in existence yet, headhunter needs an actual proper competitor lol.

Bijouborne has absolutely awful energy gain. I did a lot of testing with it last league. Used fireflower to get charm procced like clockwork every 2s and it barely casts shit.

Lv20 bijouborne and used a lot of charm nodes (including extra charm use).

Bijouborne is probably my favourite unique!
I made a post on Bijouborne (and Chayula monk by extension) not too long ago. Quite a lot of people pitched in with information. So maybe it is worth taking a look for you. https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1qro06k/the_trinket_mage_deranged_findings_on_cast_on/

I actually still run it (though I play far less currently) I can run T15 maps comfortably. And while my temple isn't complete, I have no issues there either. Getting a high spell level on Ember Fusillade paired with additional projectile bonuses on staff is truly key.

I use fireball to trigger my charms (Fireflower Unique), which triggers cast on charm ember fusillade and while waiting for the fusillade to fire I place lightning warp debuffs on the enemy. Which then creates a loop wherein enemies are in contact with the shocked ground which triggers my grounding charm (overcharge support gem), leading to another volley. Which gives a moment to debuff more enemies with lightning warp and so on.
