Version 3.26 : Focused Channelling

No changes in gear nor skill tree.

With the buff to Infused Channelling support, we gain some EHP (more dmg reduction while channelling).

With the nerf to Polymath ascendancy notable, we lose some DPS overall (from 3% more DPS per type of mastery allocated, down to 2%).

LT of Escalation numbers have been changed : more DPS, less cast speed. Overall, this is a slight gain of DPS (+6%) for me.

LT of Eccentricity now releases a stronger pulse every 5 pulses (up from every 6). Dmg of pulses are slightly reduced, but the stronger pulses will be more frequent : 20% of the time, up from 16%, so a 25% frequency gain. This will be very noticeable.

In my latest video for the build, dating back from sept '24, my conclusion was that normal LT was probably the best variant of the three, due to the limitations of Escalation and Eccentricity.
But with these changes, I think Escalation will be once again much better for farming, and Eccentricy for bosses.
In other words, they will fit their initial intentions better.

Now, let's talk about the new Focused Channelling support : up to 60% more DPS after 2.5 sec,
and up to 100% more mana cost after 5 sec.
Channelling for 2.5 sec is still very long in this game.

> For me, this new support will replace (Awakened) Controlled Destruction : it will grant more DPS for the Stronger Pulse (+14%), and a lot more for the normal pulses (at least +50%).
So a very good buff for any three versions of LT, particularly Escalation.

I will make tests and release a video ASAP.

Good luck and have fun :)
