Hey all, so I've seen a fair few posts expressing interest in the way that Deep Delve Builds function, and I've been delving this entire league (currently at Depth 5159, aiming to get to Depth 6000 before the end of the league), and I thought I'd provide my PoB and example nodes/bosses to show how the build is played.

The single biggest misconception that's worth clearing up, however, is that delve builds need dodge. I unspecced dodge from depth 3500 to depth 4800 and felt very little difference. You don't need dodge, it simply hides your mistakes. That said, delving deep is an exercise in patience, so the more you can do to make it easy on yourself, the better off you are.

Note: My gear is very expensive, but that's because I knew I was going to be hard committing to delving this league, so I reinvested repeatedly into my gear. This is also my favorite build that I've ever played.

(Forgive the music choices, the songs I picked help me focus during the fight)

And examples of fossil nodes:

Overall, the play style of the build is pretty fun, but delve is unforgiving. Expect to die [a lot].(https://i.imgur.com/YQ1xmCM.png)

I can also answer any delving related questions people have in the comments!
