I'm nowhere near the pro player, this is the build I've played since start of the league. It took me this much time to finally reach endgame with my casual playtime. It's simple to play (1 button to throw traps, 1 for optional brand, 1 for moving around) and it's fairly cheap. My gear might be worth few dozen divs, mostly because I didn't have anything to do with currency, so I overpayed for some perfect stat uniques. I think 5-10 divs would be enough to get the mechanics working, higher budget for better rolls, obviously.

The general idea is ele ailments stacking for The Taming, masteries stacking for Polymath, frenzy charges, crits and lowering enemy res. There isn't any brilliant idea behind this and I assume it's far from perfect, but I just wanted to share something I've worked on.

It doesn't abuse Doryani and I tried to make sure, it's functional without Merc. I don't think, they will go core in their current state.

With my mercenary it might go up to this, depends on few circumstances:

I apologize for my noob skills, I've returned to PoE after few years and this was the first time in my life doing this content. Tbh I went into this new skill with no plan and expected to fail somewhere at the red maps. But through trial, error and dozens of orb or regrets, the build turned out functional enough to carry me through invitations. I've tried some T17 and uber bosses, but didn't find it fun enough to learn all the new maps mods and bosses mechanics. Tbh, I mostly enjoy delving, I'm like that troll that spent the league on delving, went surface to beat those invitations for videos, then went back underground.

I'm starting to feel burnout by the league and decided to end it with a guide.
