Kroughfire's Notes
Hello Exiles -- Just wanted to show what I was up to on my 2nd char this league. I wanted an all-rounder capable to mapping fast and doing feared and all other invites, and finally settled on this build (The Formed in the vid is also +2 levels, forgot to mention).
Build highlights:
4-6mil dps on EK + Tornado (another 70%? math is confusing on this)
90% all res, 43k Armour, Aegis Max block, 20% sap
Good Range and Chain Explosions
Moderately cheap (10-ish ex to start T16s and most maven invites). My current gear is roughly 20-30ex.

This build uses Avatar of Fire, Battlemage and Vulcanus to full convert all phys to fire and gain tons of damage. The dagger also allows us to use whirling blades to proc Fanaticism. Use tornado just before triggering Fanaticism to make sure you get max single target dps. I swap to different gloves (with same int value) for feared/sirus/uber elder, but it's not necessary. Brittle conflux from Leadership's Price makes Asenath gloves crit cap and also apply -30% all res, meaning we get chain explosions. On a lower budget, you can block cap using tempest shield instead of using herald of purity. You probably need 1 enlighten at least to make this mana set-up work, but if you need a budget option, you can grab the herald reduced reservation nodes on the tree.
This build can still improve -- I need to get a helm enchant, probably for sniper's mark curse effect. I also want to run RF for 40% more damage and covered in Ash (15% more), but need to make 2 or 3 more levels to fit in the necessary regen. a lvl 4 Enlighten will allow me to fit in Vitality (and tree 100% mana reservation efficiency), which would cover a lot of the regen.
