PoE Absolution builds

Let me preface this masterpiece of a build by saying that I grinded super hard early league, and now that it's died down a bit and I'm a bit burnt out atm I decided to "min-max" the ultimate meme build: Cast on Death. I wanted to take this silly support gem and make something other than just a portal for squishy MFers, so I did some thinking about what I could possibly do to maximize damage, and only one gem came even close: DISCHARGE. I hereby present the ultimate 1-shot boss killer: 1 shotting Drox before he can go invuln w/ 2man hp:

Quick Summary 4.5Mil Sirus DMG on a 5L (actually more but I kept shock minimum, its more like 25%) Over 6Mil Sirus Damage in 6L (avg. More with higher shock and chilled ground maintain) Tabula can take you to Sirus with 2.6Mil Dmg at Level 80ish. Pros (aka Why not Skele Mages?) Convocate works on this skill, unlike skele mages which are more like totems. You summon the sentinels and you have ~22 seconds before they expire. Convocate on left click isn't actually required but.. why not. No Uniques required before build works. Level with it all the way fro

Build is really, really fun, but also very weak damage against bosses while also being a glass cannon. The clear, even in T14 maps, was actually pretty ok. Main problem is the amount of investment into damage, Armour, and Life (scaling a lot off of Strength) only to find that it's not enough for either damage or survivability. Likely held back on the focus on primarily scaling damage via Strength, physical damage, and elemental damage (all kinds thanks to conversion, especially Fire though), since all my damage is affected by these types. Perhaps with looking at other Strength stacking builds,

So I've seen people taking advantage of Divine Shield with Aegis Aurora and thought that this defensive layer would probably work really well with an Absolution build. To that end, I've come up with a rough concept that I'd love input on specifically whether this may actually be viable enough to get through the end game (A9 Sirus). To clarify, I do not believe this type of build will have sufficient damage to do things like Wave 30 Delirium or some of the other end end game stuff but it might be viable enough to get through a good amount of the endgame: I've alw

If any1 is interested in planing an Aboslution Build maybe this help you in your own theorycrafting process.

Elder helmets seemed to be made for that new minion and it allows me to buy a cheap Doryani's chest. Build is fun although a roll of bad luck makes sustaining the minions on bosses sometimes hard. PoB:
