Luminary Vaal Absolution Fallen Reverend, Tanky+100M DPS

Showcase video

Hey there, this my first PoE build showcase. This is a showcase of the Luminary Ascendancy using perma Vaal Absolution with a Fallen Reverend mercenary.

Key parts of the build:

• Doryani's Prototype giving -199% lightning resistance to nearby Enemies.
• Perma Vaal Absolution thanks to Pact of K'tash
• Fallen Reverend mercenary with Zealotry+Wrath and 6 Absolution minions
• Defenses solved mainly through 100% cold/lightning HIT damage taken as fire with 90% fire resistance + Mageblood + Spectres + Svalinn(89%/89% block)

Merc gear/setup explained:

• 2 Unique items used: Dark Monarch for 6 Absolution minions and Triad's Grip to convert 100% of their physical damage to lightning
• Gearing of the merc has 2 main points: Aura effect(Wrath+Zealotry) and increasing damage of his minions(minion damage, minion crit and minion cast speed)
• Highly recommend to get a ghastly eye jewel with minion leech and corrupt the Dark Monarch to have lightning damage leech to help with their survivability.

The two downsides of the build:

• Annoying to ramp up both yours and your mercenary's sentinels for ubers/pinnacle bosses.
• You get absolutely destroyed by lightning degen, luckily theres really only 1 you will semi regularly encouter in maps and thats "Siphoning" mod on rare monsters which is the large mana donut.

After swapping at 95(mageblood+doryanis+amulet) i have died about 5 times total in maps, 4 times to mana donut rares and 1 time to the Flamequiver mercenary reverse resistance degen shenanigan.

You could completely forgo Vaal Absolution and just go full support, the Mercenary does 10s of million dps by himself/minions.
