[Video Context] Gameplay footage in the video was recorded while running T15-T16 6-modded corrupted waystones. Boss fights are against bosses with +4 to boss difficulty through atlas tree.

[Overview] This is a very tanky sorceress build based on the new Disciple of Varashta ascendancy for Path of Exile, The Last of the Druids.

This video contains a revision of the original build as well as an expansion for better damage and screen clear at the expense of some survivability.

[Intro] When I get home after a long days work, I just want to chill, kill a couple of bosses and hoard some loot, without the need to strain my mind or eyes to much. This build is designed to be very forgiving and easy to execute, while still being able to clear most content of the game in a descent pace.

The flame tank of Varashta is, as its name suggests, based on the new disciple of Varashta sorceress ascendancy. While the ascendancy at first glance focuses heavily on the new djinn minions and the new skills that they bring, the flame tank instead opts for the very solid non-djinn passive skills of the ascendancy, which enables a very tanky build while also providing some solid boosts to damage output.
