PoE Divine Shield, Melee builds

The Build: (staff) You could also go for a Rebuke + Aegis Setup, though Aegis is expensive: A bit of a meme, but check it out if you like the idea of melee ignites. The gearing is pretty easy, and proliferation is neat. \- Elemental Overload Divine Shield \- Life/ES on Block \- Ice, Stone, Chaos, and Flame Golems \- Divine Inferno + Infernal Cry for Melee Ignite scaling \- Gem Swap Enduring cry for survivability or Ancestral cry for better clear

A goal for me this league was to hit 2k depth ever since they rescaled Delve to make 1.5k depth as hard as the old 6k depth scaling cap. I was going to do it on Ruetoo's FR build (hit 1.9k on it), but I saw the rank 1 Delver playing the attack version of Aurastacker that runs the new keystone, Precise Technique, and I wanted to give it a try. This build is inspired by his. POB: PoE profile: Ninja: https:/

PoB: Meme project after I hit 40/40. This build is only good for Simulacrum (debatable), deep Delve and nothing else. I finished wave 30 at level 76 and did it deathless at level 82. Build costs 15 ex (25 with the scepter).

I like these short-format events for testing build ideas or trying out certain builds/skills I don't want to devote a full league to. With the massive number of uniques that were dropping, Atlas Invasion was the perfect opportunity to try out an idea that I have had for a while, and it exceeded my expectations. I felt it was worth sharing both because I think it has some potential, I think it's interesting, it may inspire others to explore the possibilities with this sword, and I know a lot of folks like to complain about the lack of build variety. Keep in mind that this build is not min/maxed

Class: Hierophant Non-boss dps: 1.4M Boss dps: 900k Qualities: 72% phys. dmg reduction (before flasks) 6k ES Close to 4k mana + Ivory Tower + 19% chaos res. (no CI) Dependent on buffs &x200B; Here's the pob: Haven't tested it, just made the pob (which is why I added "Theory" as flair) &x200B; EDIT: After reading the comments, I realized my build wasn't as good as I thought it was. But because this is my first EB build that seems to have some potential, I made some changes in an attempt to address the issue

Couple of thoughts right off the bat: No Herald of Purity, just because for it to be worth I feel like would take up too much mana that could be used being tankier or boosting the Sentinels 96 is getting up there for sure... I'd probably start by dropping Enduring Bond since it's a pretty small damage boost. Would losing that much duration hurt? Seems to drop about a third of its duration (30s -> 20s) Very little minion defense on the tree. I see some trees investing quite a bit in to defense. Is that, like, crucial? Aegis Aurora probably getting t

POB: Have gotten a few requests for a mapping showcase so here it is. Exp is at 0% cuz I just dinged 97 (then respecced for more damage and less life, I don't plan to level above 97) Clear is coming from 4 x strike targets with a pretty big AOE on the boneshatter pulses. I don't have explode or prolif. It's just hits. Angel kill is at 2:59. It's a little easy to miss.

Sorry! I went to sleep and didn't expect this to blow up. POB: I've set trauma to 5 (not the max stacks of 15) and power charges to 2 (instead of 4) which are more reasonable expectations for bossing.
