In this Path of Exile build update, I take my Penance Brand Inquisitor Eternity Shroud build to the next level by investing into one of the most powerful items in the game — Venarius Astrolabe.

This amulet provides Elemental Conflux, allowing all damage to shock, chill and ignite, effectively turning the build into a hybrid between multiple Elementalist ascendancy effects. Combined with +3 to elemental skill gems and support gems, it becomes a massive damage multiplier — especially with new exceptional gems like Unholy Trinity.

However, unlocking its full power requires six different influence types across your gear, which means crafting or acquiring multiple double-influenced items (Shaper + Conqueror influence).

In this video:

I craft double-influenced gear using Awakener Orbs and Harvest

Unlock the full potential of Venarius Astrolabe

Upgrade the build with cluster jewels and defensive layers

Test the build in T16 maps and against Maven

Even though the build is still in progress, it already shows strong performance in endgame content, with high damage, solid clear, and improving defenses.

Future plans include:

Turning the build into a crit ignite version

Testing Unholy Trinity exceptional gem

Crafting high-end double-influenced gear

Exploring alternative setups like Disintegrator staff

This is just the next step in pushing a non-meta build into true Path of Exile endgame power.
