Offense

Death's Oath Aura

Death's Oath is a Body Armour that grants an offensive Aura around you. By utilizing the Occultist Ascendancy we can use the Death's Aura to very easily clear maps by just running around. When we stand next to an enemy they will just die from our damaging Aura around us. Then when they die they explode from the "Profane Bloom" ascendancy node. This usually triggers a chain reaction of entire packs of enemies basicly blowing up and therefor making map clearing very easy by just running around.

The Death's Aura isn't very strong for stronger enemies and therefor we require another form of damage in order to take down Bosses and certain rare monsters. To do this we utilize another 6-link in our Bow and in most cases we use the Caustic Arrow skill for this. It leaves a puddle of toxic ground that does Damage over Time. Pair this with our Death's Aura and we can gain a decent amount of Single Target. With the newly added Vaal Caustic Arrow our Single Target damage can be quite high if you use this correctly. The best way to use this is to put it on a Boss and then try to kite the boss within the Vaal Caustic Arrow puddle as it does 2.4x the damage of a normal Caustic Arrow.

By putting Lifetap in our Death's Oath Aura we can utilize the damage multiplier given by the Lifetap support. But in order for Lifetap to give us a damage boost we need to have the Buff uptime on our character. We make this happen by linking a level 1 Lifetap with Steelskin in our Gloves, Helmet or Boots. When we then activate Steelskin it will apply the Lifetap buff to our character, which then activates the Lifetap support gem in our Death's Aura, giving us more damage.

Eldritch Battery uses Energy Shield instead of Mana for casting skills and spells.

By using the Keystone "Eldritch Battery" in the skilltree. We can utilize our Energy Shield for casting our Skills and Spells. Since Energy Shield doesn't work for us anyway due to our Divine Flesh keystone then we can use the Energy Shield in order to not have to care about our mana-pool. Since we reserv a lot of our mana for our Auras we would then struggle to cast skills if we did not use Eldritch Battery.

Defense

By using the Viridi's Veil Praetor Crown Helmet and a Magic Ring in the Right ring slot. We become Hexproof which means that Curses are applied to us, but doesn't actually affect us. This isn't really a form of Immunity so the title here is misleading. But it still does make it so Curses and Hexes don't really affect us in anyway.

Many people who play this Build usually build their defences around armor. But for my version we mostly use the right side of the Skill Tree which means we not only have access to Evasion Masteries but we even have certain nodes that grants us Evasion. This makes it easy to use the "Grace" aura and therefor the Grace Mana Reservation Mastery. I therefor invest in evasion a lot and build my defences around that mainly.

Divine Flesh Jewel & Chaos Resist

By using a Glorious Vanity Jewel we can convert the "Pain Attunement" node into a new Skill Node called "Divine Flesh". Divine Flesh makes it so all damage bypasses our Energy Shield, rendering our Energy Shield completely useless. But it does make it so we have +5% to our MAXIMUM Chaos Resistance. And lastly it makes it so 50% of Elemental Damage we take is taken AS CHAOS DAMAGE INSTEAD. By having the "One with Evil" skillnode in our Skill Tree and getting chaos resistance on some of our gear, we can then get 81% Max Chaos Resistances. So if we take Chaos Damage it is highly mitigated, meaning that we will take very little Chaos Damage. And since we use Divine Flesh that means that 50% of elemental damage we take is taken as Chaos instead, but with our high chaos res we basicly take no elemental damage at all.

Temporal Chains is a defensive Curse that applies to enemies around us. It lowers the "Action Speed" of enemies, meaning that their attack, cast and movement speed is lowered. This is a great way of slowing enemies down around us so it's easier for us to dodge incoming attacks and in some cases not even give our enemies a chance to attack us, before they are dead themselfs.

Steelskin on Left-Click

In my opinion the easiest way to automaticly have Steelskin activated most of the time and therefor also giving us the Lifetap damage buff most of the time, is by putting Steelskin on your Left-Click. So while you are using Left-Click to move in the game it will automaticly use Steelskin when ever it is off cooldown.

This is not only the easiest and smoothest way to keep the damage buff from Lifetap up but Steelskin is also a very strong defense cooldown. As it gives us a absorption shield during it's uptime.

When or if you invest enough into this build and can accquire the Forbidden Flesh & Forbidden Flame Jewels. You will be buying the Jewel combination that grants us the Elementalist Ascendancy Node "Bastion of Elements". This gives us a Absorption Shield that absorbs Elemental Damage. By having the Divine Flesh node so 50% of Elemental Damage is taken as Chaos Damage and by having the "Bastion of Elements" Elementalist node, we can take extremely large amounts of elemental damage without dying. Pairing that with our high evasion we become extremely tanky to both incoming Elemental and Physical hits.

Spell to Remove Evil from an Object or Yourself
Whether you have been sent an object you suspect is cursed or you buy an item that does not feel right (natural wooden artifacts, especially old ones, can hold some strange vibes and make you feel jittery or as if they are very heavy). this spell removes evil through smudging or fragrant smoke burning. It is an even more potent technique than the hyssop cleansing. It is especially effective if black magic or a professional practitioner is involved, or if you are feeling spooked even when not near the artifact.

I was extremely disappointed with "Motown Magic Musicians". The whole performance felt lackluster, with unenthusiastic musicians who seemed to be going through the motions. The sound quality was also terrible, making it difficult to enjoy the music. Overall, it was a waste of time and money, and I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a quality live music experience.
2. Mark - 2 stars
I had high expectations for "Motown Magic Musicians", but unfortunately, it fell short. While the musicians were technically skilled, their performance lacked emotion and energy. The show felt impersonal and lacked the soulful vibe that I associate with Motown music. It was a forgettable experience for me, and I wouldn't attend another show by this group.
3. Emily - 2.5 stars
I had mixed feelings about "Motown Magic Musicians". While the musicians were talented and played some classic Motown hits, the overall show lacked excitement. The stage production was minimal, and there was a lack of engagement with the audience. It felt more like a generic cover band performance rather than a tribute to Motown music. It was mediocre, but still enjoyable for a casual night out.
4. Chris - 2 stars
"Motown Magic Musicians" failed to capture the essence of Motown music. The performance felt flat and lacked the soulful energy that makes this genre so special. The singers were average at best, and I was left unimpressed by their lackluster vocal performances. The overall production felt amateurish, and I would not recommend this show to true Motown music lovers.
