Overview
Facetanking everything a 100% Delirious map has to offer (ZDPS immortal build) is a Path of Exile Ascendant build by Zaedulus, made for the Harvest league (3.11). It is centered on Molten Shell and plays as a strength, spell, area, duration archetype. Defensively it sits at 1 life, 10.12K energy shield. Suited for: Mapping, Simulacrum, Harvest. Key uniques include The Torrent's Reclamation, Aegis Aurora, Alpha's Howl, Skin of the Lords, Cerberus Limb.

This build turned out even better than expected, and I don't think I could die in the fully delirious map even if I tried (without taking off gear/turning off auras).
#Mechanics
There are three main components to this build:
-
Aura stacking (purities + defence auras)
-
Aegis aurora + isnane armor + max block/spell block
-
pathfinder + the traitor for flask uptime without killing mobs
Stalwart commander gives us a ton of flat es, flat evasion, and more armor. Combine this with iron reflexes, and it will both give us tons of flat armor and more armor. Since we are stacking aura effect, I decided to also add the purities for some easy max res.
Normally, this metric ton of armor (370k) would be useless. However, aegis aurora will give us 2% of our ES on block. This comes out to be a whopping 7.4k ES on block (compared to 500 with a 5% es on block shield).
Lastly, pathfinder ascendancy flask generation + the traitor will give us permanent quicksilver uptime without killing mobs, which is very useful for the purpose of the build (which is running around looting fully delirious maps without dying). To be honest, the traitor is a garbage keystone and it would be better to just run 2x alchemist's quicksilver and 3x chemist's jade while rotating so only one is up at a time, but that would require more micromanagement rather than just mashing flask keys randomly, and I already am unkillable.
Edit: I completely forgot about this, but I also have eater of souls pantheon upgrade, which makes it so I can't be crit more than once every 4 seconds. This is actually insane in this build, since the only way to die is taking multiple huge hits (which are also crits) back to back.
#Gear
If anyone has specific questions, feel free to ask. I'll break down the most expensive pieces:
| Gear | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Torrent's Reclamation | 5.5 ex | BiS belt for moving quickly. CDR is useful for phase run uptime. A crystal/stygian could easily get us 1k+ es. |
| Clusters | 1 ex x 5 | Most of the cost is the base, but it is pretty important to get the 6 node ones. |
| Amulet | 2 ex | Self crafted. Fertile catalyst base -> alt spam rmr -> regal using harvest (keep quality) -> aug/remove/add def suffix till get aura you want (for me it was determination and took 2 tries). |
| Aegis Aurora Corrupt | 80c | +2 duration way cheaper since it only buffs vaal auras rather than all auras. |
| Rings | 30c x 2 | Bought one for 5c, crafted the other myself |
| Body Armor | 30c | the 100% global defences is really good for the build, and not having to path to iron reflexes saves us a shit ton of points. |
The gloves cost me 15c to make but I got lucky (bought base for 2c, got lucky remove, crafted es). The boots cost I think 20c.
