Balaar's Notes
Deathless A10 Pts+Labs run using Wave of Conviction, Armageddon Brand, and Herald of Purity in a hybrid caster and minion setup in 3h13m31s. This is still a heavily experimental build and is intended only for speed running/leveling to A10. This was the second run on this build and first to get to part 2 as the other run ripped in A3. This build is a mix of builds I've done before (WoC guardian to A5 pts+lab and HoAg Guardian/Absolution Necro), so I had a good sense that it would work sufficiently to get the job done as the caster portion would carry part 1 and ideally minions would carry part 2. This didn't quite come to fruition as well as I wanted to, but nonetheless minions really help smooth out some of the more annoying parts of part 2. If I were to do this run again, I'd likely try going for the minion ascendancy node first rather than harmony of purpose (charge node). Will likely keep iterating on the build to see if I can get better results with some changes based on experiences from this run.
Sceptres, spiritual command + spiritual aid pathing, harmony purpose, and onslaught equals great movement ability through campaign.
Why duelist mule? Splitting steel is very strong for mudflats plus you get two green gems for the double lvl 8 topaz/lightning wand crafts and one red gem (chance to bleed) which paired with glacial hammer from templar will be used for double lvl 20 ruby/fire wand crafts. Its a quick mule, you have better chances at landing a solid sceptre since sceptres are relatively scarce at vendor, and better chance at getting necessary links for a solid foundation of run. You can also use splitting steel to mow down rhoas super easily with the two swords you get (starting sword and hillock sword). As a result, for 90 to 105 seconds of work, you get a lot of quality of life.
Regex used: Early vendors: b-g|g-b|b-.-g|g-.-b|b-.-b|.-b-b|b-b-.|sceptre 4L from Character Level 23 onwards: "sockets: .-.-.-." Early vendor regex is not perfect and has some redundancy in it, but it does the job well enough to highlight stuff which I can then further narrow visually
