i'm looking to build a perma embrace the darkness rev build.
replenishing despair trait should help with that, as it provides the 1 energy pip required, however, it drains you slowly from health, so the challange is to retain a positive HP gain - either by increasing healing effectiveness or some barrier generation (or something else I haven't thought of).
can anyone advise on the easiest way to achieve this? i've been looking at anything that generates barrier, but couldn't find enything useful.
i'm sure i'm overlooking something, as I'm 100% positive I seen another guy running this setup, and his health bar was cycling between about 25% barrier, which got slowly drained by the torment, and then gaining it back again, effectively preventing his HP from ever decreasing. i couldn't start a conversation with this guy (maybe he was AFK), but it would seem it IS possible.
