Really enjoyed playing Mirage and min-maxing my character and I was happy with how my life stacker turned out. After seeing it hit by several nerfs in the 3.29 patch notes I wanted to leave a record of the build. Rip synth jewels especially.

Video is just a simple showcase of Uber Eater & Exarch + 80% deli breach mapping (starts from first breach in mirage).

Quick build stats:

• 209m dps single target

• 172m dps mapping (greater chain swap)

Defenses:

• Max hits: 38k/295k/187k/187k/128k (no guard skill or pantheon)

• 24,505hp + defiance of destiny + petrified blood

• 2,390 life regen/s + 5,111 life leech/s

• 90% max fire resistance + tempered by war

• Fortify

• 4 endurance charges

Unfortunately, the build took several sizable nerfs for 3.29.

• Grey Wind

• Rathpith Globe

• Synthesis rares removed

• Reflecting mist

I played static strike during 3.27 as well (pre-buff), but the duration/damage buffs and addition of volatile vaals for 3.28 made it shine.

The build started as a Slayer, but I wasn’t happy with the passive tree pathing. Turns out Ascendent has much better pathing for min-maxing the build (better starting nodes and more jewel sockets).

I also wanted to craft my own gear as a fun challenge and went through a whole bunch of crafting mats. Here’s some fun numbers:

• 717 beast locks on 26 synthesis jewels for adorned setup (sold extras)

• 644 tempering orbs + 79 volatile vaals on grey winds, hit the 16% I’m using (max 17%)

• 46 volatiles on enmity’s embrace, hit 54% I used until I bought a max roll 51%

• 114 double corrupted Apostates (did not hit)

• 8 mists to hit 3 positive helical (fire res/multi/life)

Nothing really ground breaking with this setup, but happy to answer any questions. Still huffing copium that some of the new sources of power can make up for the nerfs. Feel free to suggest anything!
