Current PoB: https://pobb.in/AAsphjI-BYg-
Hi, Rudy here back with another Delve build, in collaboration with Muir. This is Penance Brand Pathfinder with Original Sin and Fire Sublime Vision with flask effect stacking. I'm currently at 18k delve, which is the highest in any league since the delve rework back in 3.16. And I do think this is the fastest delver ever created since the rework.
Offence:
1.16 billion dps with everything up. The only padding in the pob is vaal RF being on, and not accounting for the 3s ramp time of penance brand. Everything else in the PoB is super consistent single target damage. Here are the key stuff that is scaling the damage:
- Penance Brand being a busted skill
- 9 link Helmet for penance brand
- Mirror tier weapon
- 2x 12-passive large clusters giving tons of %inc dmg and cast speed
- 330% effect silver flask + cast speed suffix giving tons of cast speed
- 330% effect diamond flask + crit suffix giving tons of crit chance
- 6 magic jewels with Adorned giving tons of crit multi
- No dmg auras, but running lv28 RF + vaal RF, Herald of Ash and Herald of Purity with some buff effect
- Balance of Terror with 2 dmg mods
- Pathfinder wither scaling
- Natural Affinity for 20% double dmg chance
Defence:
446k maxhits without any guard skill, for both phys and ele. Chaos maxhit is low, but is only really problematic in zones that have phys as extra chaos + wither (solved by running in circles instead of facetanking). Heres the key stuff scaling dmg mitigation.
- 5k+ life pool
- 100% of cold/lightning taken as fire (50% from Tempered by War, 30% from Sublime Vision, 20% from Lethal Pride)
- 100% of phys taken as fire (40% from chest, 28% from shield, 15% from Lethal Pride, 9% from Watchers Eye, 8% from helmet)
- 90% max fire resistance
- 66% less fire damage taken from a 330% effect Ruby flask
- 24% less fire damage taken from arctic armor
- 17% reduced fire damage taken (6% from chest, 6% from pantheon, 5% from boots)
- 10% less damage taken from Natural Affinity
- 36% of damage staggered from Progenesis (stagger countered by recoup)
For recovery, I've Defiance of Destiny. Which is so incredibly strong, that I decided to entirely forego instant leech or life gain on hit. I also have 63% recoup to heal me between hits (minus the 36% decoup from progenesis).
Budget:
The build is unfortunately extremely expensive. More so because multiple people who are making this build have bought out a lot of the rare stuff. By todays prices I'd estimate my current version to cost around 30-35 mirrors. I'd recommend a bare minimum of 5 mirrors to attempt this version. Otherwise you could try to make the Inquisitor version which has a lower floor.
