I need help before my brain melts from ascendancy indecision in 0.5

What I want:

• tanky
• straightforward gearing
• I do NOT care about giga clear speed (i rly like the semi dark souls gameplay)
• decent screen clarity without alien disco VFX exploding everywhere
• preferably something comfy and hard to kill

What I liked so far:

• Lich with unholy might + giant minions
• Mercenary gameplay felt like some alien shooter and grenade launcher looked sick
• Chayula Monk purple skills are cool af
• Lich purple chaos stuff also cool af
• Thorns was surprisingly fun

The most fun I had was honestly aftershock Titan with life leech. Big bonk, simple gameplay, felt immortal half the time. Brain happy.

Now my problem:
I LOVE the purple aesthetic from Chayula Monk and Lich, but I also love not dying and not needing a PhD in gearing

Can Chayula Monk do comfy life leech tank gameplay too or is Titan better pick?

Also is Blood Mage actually fun/safe ? Are there even proper red blood - style skills yet? Because thematically it sounds amazing :l

Help me pick an ascendancy for 0.5 before I spend few days staring at the character select screen when league start :C
