The 3.27 patch notes hit us with some modest nerfs that I'll cover in this video, but overall the build survived just fine and is a great league starter. The attached POB takes you through several iterations of the build from league start up through the pre-mageblood endgame variant with approximately 20-30div invested. There an extremely detailed notes section. Note about unbound ailments: due to research that you can see in my discord, unbound ailments is un-checked, BUT a custom config setting reproduces its effects. This has to do with POB misinterpreting Shaper of Storms to work like Corpse Pact, which it does not (shock is still caused by the Arc skill, not by the Ascendancy, but POB thinks the ascendancy applies the shock which would prevent a support gem from modifying it).

Without smite, or sigil of power, or vaal arc: the "cruising altitude" version of the build is around 6-7mil DPS after the nerfs at around 20-30div invested. Add those single target boosts in for bosses and even with only 1 stage on sigil of power the build goes over 15mil DPS. Later versions of the build with more investment and mageblood can hit DOT cap. eHP Without Molten Shell is around 192k (95k if you don't account for Aegis recovery). With molten shell and Aegis eHP is around 370k

The basic endgame variant of the build that's around 5-10div with your highest expense being your 6L body armour ("Mid-Budget Endgame CI Swap") has about 6mil single target DPS after nerfs.

DPS numbers will likely go way up once we understand what we can get from the new Breach Graft system.
