Hello everyone. It's my first build here, usually I do Blight content with poison/chaos/minion builds and share them on my channel for everyone interested in such content. This league I also started with pretty successful poison Mirror Arrow build because I wanted to test new Lioneye Bow. I play poison minions build for many leagues already but this league have a great improvement - new poison/bleed/ignite chances on minion jewels so I was pretty hyped. Everything went smooth, I've got my standard set of items - amumunanuperuru gaze, Covenant, etc. But then something went wrong - many streamers shared their poison minion builds and prices for default gear just skyrocketed.

So that's the main reason I decided to find another build, that is cheap, robust and don't have to use expensive uniques to just function. No Devouring Diadem (at the start of the league it was 3 div), no Covenant, no Anumupurururu Gaze. Just pure copium.

At the moment it's 40m dps

Defense layers:

• 72/77% block chances (with glancing blows)
• More than 6k EHP (Eldritch battery + MoM)
• Insta heals that affect both HP and ES
• No crits on me because of Garb of the Ephemeral on AG
• Less damage taken because of sapped ground (boots on AG)
• Another optional defensive options is Frost Shield for extra defense in case of need. To switch between more defensive and more offensive options of the build just replace Despair+Enchance with Punishment (or even Enfeeble)+Frost Shield.

So all in all build does all content, keeping me alive. I spent about 10-12 divs on the build. The most expensive items so far are Atziri's Reflection (good curse efficiency roll is mandatory!), Enlighten 3 and awakened gems. So basically sum these items' prices and you'll get build total cost.

My high end AG items.

!!! IMPORTANT: Use Anomalous Feeding Frenzy. AG is nearly immortal with it.

1. Shield with or without Necromantic Aegis. Atziri's Reflection is the best option damage and defense wise. Ofc without Necromantic Aegis. Second best and really cheap option is Leper's Alms + Necromantic Aegis. It gives whooping +40% poison duration. Absolutely busted item. Use it to reach insane dps for free. You can use Victario's Charity as well, but it's weaker option. But it gives minions some speed and chaos res to defend against Whispers.
2. Helmet PoB above reached dps limit without leer cast. So just use anything you like to keep AG safe and alive. Maw of Conquest for survivability Leer cast for damage Alternatives: - Crown of the Tyrant with white socket - Thrillsteel because why not? DPS cap is reached, more attack speed affects Anomalous Feeding Frenzy heal so it's also the good option. - Rare Hunter helmet with affix Nearby Enemies have -xx% to Chaos Resistance - that's the best helmet damage wise.
3. Gloves Gravebind is mandatory. No options here.
4. Body - Garb of the Ephemeral (I like this option the best for personal safety) - Gruthkul's pelt - Doppelganger - Rare influenced armor that generates endurance charges when hit.
5. Boots I use Inextricable Fate. But it's just because someone has to use it, haha. Actually I recommend to get boots with eldritch modifier, that drops sapped ground on move. Just for extra -6% damage.
6. Weapon The Grey Spire - our 10c for near perfect rolls winner. I've tested a lot of different weapons this league. Bino's, Wasp Nest (the second best weapon), New chaos sword. But Grey Spire is the absolute top weapon for the build. It boosts both survivability (max res +spell block) and damage and is cheap as dirt.

Here are some vids to demonstrate the build.

1. Very first demo of the build. Ofc on the Blight map
2. Some more demo of mapping and some weak bosses (I don't do Ubers, don't like and don't know how)
3. Flasks sustain guide. Ability to use MoM + Eldritch Battery and insta heal both ES and HP.
4. Offtop - here are few demos of poison Mirror Arrow build I've mentioned at the beginning. Mapping doing t16 blighted map in Tabula with Quill Rain and doing Blighted Map without towers If you're interested in the build, write here and I'll create another guide for it
5. Some old reminiscence and proof of my words about my old history with poison minions. 3.16 Chains Of Command poison build with Wasp Nest, sorry but it's Blight again
6. Phoenix run boss + mapping showcase
7. Shaper run
8. Sirus last phase

UPD:

Some tips and tricks to make build even more affordable:

• Ancient Skull with Purity of Elements reservation might be pricey. But it's possible to use any of these reservation enchantment, so just pick the cheapest one: Determination, Malevolence, Purity of Elements they all good with Enlighten3
• I leveled my Enlighten Support myself so when you have it lvl 2 it's possible to use all auras if you use one jewel with 3% reservation efficiency. So no need to buy expensive Enlighten3 right away.
• Good minion chaos/phys abyss jewels are pretty expensive atm. Consider using great and cheap option (20-30c per jewel) Forbidden Flame/Flesh with Mindless Aggression instead.
