I'll be updating with fauzt/scos as this progresses. At the time of writing I'm at about 20k life, and level 63 ooa, clvl 122. No wormhole, no umbaru, no 125 charms. Clearing dunc comfy.

Anyway here's duncraig

Here's a breakdown of how this "works"

1. Blood Zon Bacchanalia, and paragon. Paragon makes fire elementals tankier. You get 15 of them, for plenty of meat shields. Makes it easier to run away if you're getting low.
2. Max skills and vit/life in everything. I'm using an ele throwing axe craft for big life and +6 skills. This will be replaced by a +4 crystal sword and atomus jewels when I can get them. Relic is mandatory.
3. Life spark on kill through duress, LAEK on weapons, vit, life, regen, all the survivability possible. If it gives life, skills, and any good form of sustain, you take it.
4. Chemistry. It's big. Hitting 15k life regen/sec if you can max potions is 3 ooa casts per second (if you'll even need that many). Potions last for 7 sec, so learning to refresh them without spamming is key to maximizing output/survival. Basic math.

For this to be less of a meme, ooa on zon needs a buff. It definitely needs more slvl to cambion (and higher rune cost to balance) and ideally no mana cost restrictions with crimson dream, for starters.
