Hey guys if you are like me and got tired of playing shitty mf-ers that 6portal every lightly-juiced map even with a hh than this build is for you.

Disclaimer: i did not create this build entirely - it is a collaboration of different ideas from streamers and certain poe ninja profiles that i've been browsing for ideas. I'm not a genius PoB wizard but i did try out a lot of different ideas (as well as other MFers like a TS with a mirror budget) and this current iteration is the one that's feeling the best while running on a pretty affordable medium budget. Also by medium budget i assume you have a headhunter. This build is aimed at MF-ing 8modded t16 deli mirror maps which IMO isn't realistic without a hh. If you disagree please close the thread because i don't aim to argue with you.

MF Package:

I'm using the standard mf package - sadimas, goldwyrm, ascetic, ventors, rarity helm and a elegant hubris + rarity support in my bv and herald of ice links. Not using the MF chest or divination distillate.The build currently has 5M dps (with punishment and no hh buffs), 57 quant and 496 (+ another 50 from helm on rare/uniques) rarity.

The way we ramp up dps:

- Using explody chest over profane bloom - because phys explosions get scaled from our conversions and hh buffs.- going low life for Pain Attunement (can't use Divination Distillate).

- using a combination of heraldry medium cluster node with Mastermind of Discord Forbidden Jewels (they are less than a divine on trade) for an immense boost of dps.

- using punishment for single target

- using a lot of vast power + towering threat clusters to ramp up our aoe for both bv and explosions so we can blow up screens and effortlessly clear legions (even under delirium or double life sextant).

Note: in my current version im using 3-passives voices, double elevated chest and heraldy+vast power megalomaniac - you do not need these things they are just there because i could afford them. The key damage amplifiers are Pain Attunement + mastermind of discord forbidden jewels (less than a divine) + heraldry notable (replace one of vast power medium clusters)
