Build is centered around CWDT with Eye of Innocence, based on a build concept from 2016. This is my most recent and most effective iteration to date. It features reworked Saboteur with Triggerbots and a ton of spells.
The build can clear endgame content such as 5-Way Timeless Domain, Uber Elder and most of the endgame invitations. Refer to in-game footage in the videos.
The budget varies greatly, so I cannot give an exact number, but a few Divines of investment go a long way. I've personally invested far more than necessary, though mostly on "goodie" items such as jewels with specific corruptions... and trying (and failing) to chance a staff with Crucible mods.
Required items:
- Martyr of Innocence
- Eye of Innocence
- Ngamahu's Sign (corrupted with either Zealotry or Anger implicit, but Zealotry is best)
- Replica Reckless Defence
- Redeemer influenced body armour with Frenzy Charges on hit (best with Shaper spell crit chance); I paid 2 Divines for mine and then used 1 to reroll it to what it is now
- Militant Faith (Dominus)
Semi-required items:
- Forbidden Flame + Flesh (Deadly Infusion)
- Unset Ring with -X to total Mana Cost
- Watcher's Eye (Zealotry or Anger); crit chance (Zealotry) is the best bang for your buck in this case
Substitute items:
- Praxis
- Voll's Protector
- Pure Talent
- Tabula Rasa
Build has no Physical Damage Reduction and no particular defenses, so I run Wellspring of Creation (Atlas passive keystone). Everything else should be covered in the videos themselves.
