Recorded in Patch: 3.27

Forum Guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3912996 POB: https://pobb.in/OokLqbmrjaM6 Cost: Approximately 100-130 Div

Budget Variant ( 25-30% ehp loss but you dont need big corrupts and flame/flesh anymore) https://pobb.in/R67VxR1cCj7f

About Budget: You can easily run this build with a lower budget. The Main dmg sources of this build is the Staff (1c) and the forbidden jewel combo (which is very Off-Meta and both cost together like 4 div). Once you've got those, the rest of the gear is flexible.

Regex for mapping that I use (t16 and t17): "!d from|f el|lati|o al|'v|ra c|acl|rune|gen|pet|s rec|ment$|wni|^buf|lier|ever|pin|wb"

I’ll likely make a forum guide for this if it gains some recognition. I honestly find this build amazing. You don’t need a mirror anymore to make Spark feel good, and Poison Spark just doesn’t feel good without the Herald of Ice explosions. Also nice to try the farrul bloodline.

The build is very complex and definitely not recommended for beginners — similar to my Autobomber guide.

By the way: I layered lots of gameplay clips to make the viewing experience more enjoyable. Kind of getting better at video Cutting and I think this is my best one yet. :D! Around 0:11:30 I do a Uber Elder in the background for example.
