This is my end-of-league build that I’ve been working on for the last few weeks. I wanted a lazy, comfy, AFK-style build so I could farm Ultimatum, Strongboxes, or Simulacrum while watching youtube.

The budget was under 1 Mirror (except for the level 5 Awakened Empower). Most of the items were easy to find, except for the armour. I needed an elemental + chaos Foulborn armour for Enmity’s Embrace, and I spent about 2–3 weeks looking for a 5 blue / 1 red linked version but couldn’t find one.

Video Build Showcase (Sorry for the shitty quality. Im playing on my old laptop)

-Uber Sirus

-Uber Cortex

-Uber Elder/Shaper

-Uber Exarch

-Uber Eater

-Uber Maven

-Simulacrum Wave 15 – isolated 1v1 Kosis fight

-Strongbox mapping (removed due to the lenght of the video)

-Black Barya

I decided to showcase only the last phase of each boss because I didn’t want the video to be too long

For Maven, since there are too many non-hit mechanics, I had to manually cast Firestorm.

If you're interested in how mapping feels, check out this video.

Overview

-99/99 block CWS Gladiator. This is not an ignite or fire damage-over-time build. It’s a spell-based hit build, so we don’t scale DoT or burning damage. Instead, we focus on spell damage.

-With 99/99 block, most on-hit attacks are blocked, so we don’t really need recoup.

-The main problem was DoTs. They hurt a lot, and I died to them often at first, but the fix was very simple: stack a lot of life regeneration.

-With around 2500 life regen, most ground DoTs, bleed, poison, Shaper beam, and other Uber boss abilities can be countered through regen alone. At this level of regen, I was able to facetank Shaper’s beam.

-Some Uber boss mechanics are unblockable, like Shaper slam, Maven slam, Exarch Incarnation, etc., so I still have to manually dodge them or just use a portal(many).

-Maven specifically doesn’t have many hit-based skills, so I had to manually cast Firestorm during that fight.

-Ultimatum, Simulacrum, Ritual, Breach, and Strongbox mapping are all AFK-viable (except for the Ultimatum modifier “Cannot Block”).

-I’m sustaining through Doryani’s Lesson (leech), Watcher’s Eye (Vitality life gain), and life regeneration.

-I swap a few nodes around depending on the content. Sometimes I pick up Fortify for extra defense, and other times I drop some life regen for more damage.

Immunities

Corrupted Blood / Curse immune — jewel + Pantheon

Elemental Reflect immune — passive nodes + Pantheon

Elemental Ailment immune — Stormshroud + flask

Crit immune — passive nodes + Watcher’s Eye + tattoos

Poison immune — ring implicit

Pros

-99/99 block

-Over 2500 life regen to counter DoTs (can facetank Shaper beam and other Uber boss DoTs)

-Good single-target damage — enough for all Uber bosses

-Good mapper

-Very few map mods to avoid (“Cannot Block”)

-Easy Simulacrum, Ultimatum, Ritual, and Uber bosses

-Most content is comfortably doable

Cons

-A bit slow

-Playstyle - requires getting hit to trigger skills

-Some Uber boss attacks are unblockable, so you can’t go fully AFK in certain fights
