Whats up :)
​
A few days ago I posted about my attempt of using melding of the flesh and aegis aurora to get very tanky on a forbidden rite occultist, using coc to get some decent damage, and I am finally done with my build. After about 150ish ex investment, + mageblood (which I think you can replace, although it is absolutely a loss in power; not enough to kill the underlying principles of the build though) I am now sitting at about 160k max hit taken, 6k es, 90 all res, 90k armor, 20 million sirus dps while dying sun is up, and am very happy with the build. Because a ton of people asked me to share my pob or make a guide (at least for my tiny channels proportions) I thought I would post here again. By adding Forbidden Flesh/Flame I also got occy explosions, so damage could be even higher with "real" jewels. most of the cost is the fractured grasping mail, woke coc lvl 6 and elevated boots; without those, you can probably get the build running for a lot less, but again, they are substantial parts of the overall defence and damage, so I would advise you to not go into it with like 20 ex thinking you will be able to replicate even close to what I was able to do. This build is expensive, and once you start adding in stuff like power charge rings or corrupts, it can get into several mirrors.

The video also has a showcase of tanking the hidden, doing a feared, killing a few of the new bosses, and running a flawless chayula stone at the start.
And here is a link to my videoguide, I would appreciate any feedback, as I haven't really done a proper, deep dive build guide before. https://youtu.be/0_s9DvtM_7o
