Pathfinder Ward Shatter online in SSF! Uber Cortex showcase

Bit of a silly showcase lmao, who needs to do mechanics?

Did not think it was feasible for me to put this together when the ward builds blew up, but when my first Heroic Tragedy drop had the 4x Regenerative Runes it was a sign clearly

Doing something different because the generally used sticks like Divinarius or Grace of the Goddess, and also things like Voices are a bit hard to source, so I went Pathfinder with double Obliterations and scaling chaos (the near perfect Ming's Heart helped that choice too), and boy are the explosions nice for mapping. Pathfinder also meant I only needed three flask clusters to get the loop running, leaving space for the Blessed Rebirth cluster. Some gear is still very scuffed and it's probably not the most optimal way to put this together, but doing the job for now

The endgame plan is still probably switching to double Grace of the Goddess like the trade Pathfinders are doing, and Faithguard/Olroth's Charge but the current setup is working much better than I thought it would!

Some notes and observations made while putting it together:

AG is wearing Dying Breath, Leer Cast, Doppelganger Guise, rare boots with brittle ground implicit + res, and rare gloves with maim/unnerve implicits + res. Also forgot to re-summon it for this map oops

Spectre in the video is Perfect Pain Artist (grants Zealotry) and after decided on Perfect Forest Warrior as the second (grants onslaught + has cull). Probably better second spectre options but the perma onslaught is nice (also I found it from Ritual first)

Life From Death on the medium cluster where you roll Blessed Rebirth makes a noticeable difference to minion survivability. Convocation on a loop isn't required (although it is nice for a bit more regen and also making your AG brittle ground and nearby effects much easier to place)

Armour flask is purely for mapping to try and avoid Flask Siphoners immediately killing you (it reduces the self damage from Heartbound Loop) - seems ok but it also lessens your recoup quite a bit, so take it off for bossing (you can use bottled faith, another ward flask, witchfire brew with +1 curse etc)

Considered using the Turtle spectre that grants Determination but this will brick you as the Boon it has gives damage immunity and will break your loop. For the same reason don't select the divine shrine mirage lmao

Take care when zoning into a new combat area from another combat area (i.e. entering Mirage), you will not have Alchemist's Genius active and your iron flask will not be at full charges, so you may need to wait for the flask to have enough charges to proc itself with 20% less flask charges gained than normal
