Hi All,

I am a semi-casual player, i usually play low-budget build due to limited available time to play and i like playing non-meta builds . I would like to share the build i come up and played so far in Merc league.

Here you can see a showcase of some mapping and boss kills: https://youtu.be/gprsu-Ye-Rk

As the title says its a lifestacker build, using Necromantic Aegis to give the bonus of Rathpith Globe to my golems resulting in a lot of spell damage and crit.

Lighting golems are ideal for this setup: the main and most damaging skill is a projectile spell, with no cooldown. The cherry on top, and what makes the build able to do a good amount of damage, is the mercenary equipped with Doryani.

This is PoB of the character in the showcase: https://pobb.in/rgu6pBbbVwG- and the relevant gear: https://pobb.in/n-uIzofmPraf on the merc (Wich is only level 78, so far i did not find an higher level one with the right setup)

The budget of this build, including the merc, is about 60 divine.

The current setup does not use a 6 link golem due to using Kaom's Heart body armor, instead it uses a +2 Minion Thunderfist gloves. The massive flat damage and +2 minion level provides a very good pseudo 6 link. Its possible that with an much higher budget this setup can be replaced by using The Apostate or some other body, but i was unable to find an approacheable better one.

The main con of the build its that its not too much of a tank, the survivability is good, but in situation with continual sustained damage Dissolution of the Flesh reservation is big downside.

I did T17 with it without any major issue, but you have to be careful with the mods and most of the end boss are problematic. I did not try Ubers.

Hope you find it enjoable :)
