Manabond Hierophant vs Depth 2328 9 mod Pen Aul + Brief Build guide

EDIT: If anyone's really wanting to see gameplay I might try streaming tonight and tomorrow on twitch.tv/onemanaleft and see if I attract anyone to the stream. Some people reached out and said they'd love to see me stream so I'll give it a shot

copying from a post i also made in r/pathofexile but i suck at reddit technology and how to properly crosspost so i just full copy pasted

I had been getting a lot of in game and on reddit messages to make some form of a build guide for this after a post last week, and plenty of people have been seeing this weirdo on poe.ninja rising past the jugs playing a 20k ES low life mageblood build, so I thought I'd do a demonstration of the build on a Jack and tan Aul, then talk about the gear and go through the progression of gear throughout the league from 20c up to 6 mirrors

Also, sorry about the light randomly in your face for about 4% of the video. This is a 2c production value video with a 6 mirror build dmo. also my trimming was really bad so the first and last 5 seconds are kinda dead time.

Admittedly this isnt the greatest demonstration of keeping my mana low because I was worried if i frost blinked too much hed whirling blade to the corner then do his multi proj attack shotgun on me, so for the msot part this is terrible gameplay for maximising DPS but good in terms of just not dying and beating it.

I'm no youtuber, I have no editing skills, so i did this in 1 take and made a mistake or two. I said in week 2 i swapped crit while mousing over the split personality jewels, I in fact went crit week 3 but its late and i just rambled for 31 minutes

Path of Building: https://pastebin.com/nirhLdJt for the config, I tend to set mana spent recently to roughly your current mana pool, so i rounded down to 16000. for shock I did 50% because i said shaper dps, and i can 50% shock not just regular shaper but uber shaper. on this Aul his ailment threshold is 300x higher than shaper so i was only getting like 8% shocks, meaning for this specific fight it was more like 80m "aul" dps at my peak, and this doesnt factor in your cooldown time so take it x.7 roughly again, meaning my burst shaper dps for 6-7 seconds is 116m but my super long average is more like 80, and my long long average on a fight like this is probably only like 55m, but for most content in the game i can just pop cloak and burst down the 116m is an accurate number

A few things I didnt talk about.

The reason I think this is impressive for a deep delve demonstration is the fact that its not a deep delve build, its just an alch and go mapping build that can full screen AoE at 240 movespeed, but the numbers are too big to really show off in maps. The other build this deep in delve is jugg divergent boneshatter who has 10 stacks of grasping vines and 35 seconds of ramp up before it eventually does about 500m dps. very powerful for deep delve but that sounds painchamp to me

another reason for my helm enchant over the 15% extra mana removed, is the alt quality arcane cloak gives arcane effect which I then am scaling further with a level 5 enlighten. this helmet enchant regen IS multiplied further my that alt quality effect

during the charging pizza warrior phase you might notice my ES shoots up by 3500 and my mana by 2200. I also gain some spell supression, +2 max res, +35 chaos res, etc. I use a weapon swap with the tankiest shield I own, and then a stat stick weapon with giga mana str int etc so for uber bosses that have immune phases like Exarch, Shaper, Aul in this case where you have to live something but cant deal damage, I weapon swap and become like 30-40% tankier overall

I talk about mana leech but i should emphisize more you want anomalous mana leech to up your damage from spending mana to get you to the mana leech cap even on 1 target
