Hello, hit 5k delve today after delving on and off for the last month, so heres a small showcase. Mobs at this depth do 6.95x dmg and 561x life compared to base t16 stats.

58m Shaper DPS, can get upto 73m on single target setup (swap Inc AoE for Intensify). Here's a single target showcase: 4.8k Kurgal

Defensively, I can just link this list of defensive layers I posted earlier.

A couple more interesting points:

1. Build uses Leadership's Price to inflict Scorch, Brittle and Sap. When I first designed the build I was worried that due to the sheer HP scaling in deep delve I wouldn't inflict any meaningful ailments. But turns out, with 150% increased effect of ailments, I still apply maxed ailments on almost every mob. Only against the very tankiest of mobs, the ailments go down to about 65% of max.

2. Afaict, I'm the only person above 3k whos not using Aegis Aurora. My recovery consists of 7k regen split between life and ES, plus Divine Shield (~ 1-3k ES/s), plus 30% life recoup (~ 500-1.5k life/s). I'm pretty proud of my recovery setup, but in the end it cant beat an Aegis with a proper setup.

Budget: Very expensive. Current min-maxed version is about Mageblood + 600ex. I'd say the minimum to start this is MB + 100ex, and MB + 300ex gets you to within 90% powerlevel. Without a mageblood, you're better off following Dan's inquisitor from AHC.

Feel free to ask any questions about the build or deep delve.
