2. ⚙️ Core Mechanics: Wellspring Duration Reduction and Considered Casting Utilization
- ✅ The goal is to make Wellspring's duration as short as possible, turning Scattering Calamity into a rapid-fire machine gun.
- ✅ This is achieved by utilizing duration reduction nodes on the passive tree.
- ✅ Hulking Form from the Titan Ascendancy is used to gain an additional 50% value from small nodes.
- ✅ The Considered Casting support gem is used to slow down the cast speed, making it slightly longer than Wellspring's duration.
- ✅ This ensures that the existing orb fires before casting a new orb while holding down the cast button.

3. 🔥 Additional Firepower: Automating and Utilizing Frost Darts
- ✅ To increase firepower, two copies of Frost Darts are incorporated.
- ✅ Frost Darts is a rapid projectile spell that fires ice shards at enemies.
- ✅ Both copies of the skill are automated.
- ✅ One uses Cast On Crit, and the other uses Cast On Elemental Ailment.
- ✅ This provides a steady stream of Frost Darts through crits and shocks, increasing firepower.

4. 🩸 Solving Mana Issues: Blood Magic and Life Regeneration Utilization
- ✅ Blood Magic is used to cast with life instead of mana.
- ✅ The Undying Hate Abyssal Jewel is used to unlock the Sacrifice of Blood keystone.
- ✅ This allows life to be regenerated based on mana expenditure.
- ✅ Nodes enhanced by Hulking Form regenerate more life than is lost through casting, solving mana issues.

5. 🛡️ Enhancing Defense: Veil of the Night Helmet and Skill Duration Utilization
- ✅ The Veil of the Night unique helmet is used to significantly increase maximum life.
- ✅ Mods that allow armor to apply to elemental damage are used to compensate for a lack of resistances.
- ✅ The Unborn Lich staff's maximum life-based spell damage increase mod is utilized to provide massive damage.
- ✅ The Time of Need buff synergizes well with the steroid-injected skill duration.
- ✅ This skill removes debuffs and heals once every 10 seconds, but in this build, it's activated every 1.2 seconds.
