Main mechanic

The idea is to have consacrated ground all over the place which has two purposes: allows us to use Pious Path (for both damage and regen) and makes purifying flame shockwaves go very far

How to calculate damage

So, as the notes explain, the dps is way higher than what the tooltip shows if you can shotgun the brands shockwaves of all 7 brands by having them attached to secondary targets

Basically depending on how well lined up the stars are the DPS goes anywhere in between ~650k and ~3mil, closer to 3mil for mapping and closer to 1mil for big endgame bosses

Defences

It boasts a ton of EHP and very solid regeneration and armour making it really quite tank in theory (very weak to chaos damage though) on top of being fully ele ailment immune

All of this without any flasks active cause i feel like using them in PoB is cheating as they won't ever have 100% uptime

Build cost

As for the budget, well, it's not too bad. Replica soul teather is the most expensive piece and no one wants the pious path forbidden jewels so they are under 1ex each. Ashes of the stars is very optional (without it you have to drop an aura though, i would drop discipline) and you can probably get much better amulets but i was lazy so i just threw that in.

Replica soul tether is also not 100% mandatory but it is a MASSIVE boost to tankyness, without it the build is ok but kinda squishy

So counting everything the build probably doesn't really work below 3-4ex and you can get everything in it for under 10ex (more like 8ex, but 10 to be safe)

Anyone has any ideas on how this could get any better? My PoB-fu isn't amazing so i'm sure there a ton of improvements
