PoE Aegis Aurora, Lightning, Simulacrum builds without Mageblood, Replica Dreamfeather

I've been more successful than I anticipated on my homebrewed power siphon totems build and wanted to show it off a bit as well as get some help. I haven't had a lot of time to play so I've been pretty broke, and to be honest it hasn't been the best starter for making money, but all things considered the build has been pretty good to me. At this point I've probably spent about 2 div total, and have been easily doing the league mechanic in T16 maps (not super juiced, but no issues even with delirium mirror and abyss). It's been extra easy to gear because Aegis Aurora is dirt cheap this league.

Yo I made a build and am feeling too lazy to make a video for it. Here's the POB. it can do exarch/eater/sirus/maven/all invitations deathless. tanky and great aoe boss damage, clear isn't the best but it's not the worst. I think furthest I got in simulacrum was 26 or so, but ya know mod rng and stuff and I attempted a total of 2 I believe (I haven't played in a few weeks). Idk feel free to ask questions but I might not remember. no idea what the gear is worth, I think I made everything besides the boots. gl

Map Mods / Build Limits: Can't run Elemental Reflect and Physical Reflect maps Can't run Atziri or Uber Atziri due to reflect. Struggles to run maps with "Reduced flask charges gained". Can be fixed with by swapping one magic flask swap with The Overflowing Chalice. Struggles to run maps with "Players cannot regenerate Life, Mana, or Energy Shield" due to ES recovery needed to offset Blood Rage, and Mana Regeneration requirements. Still possible due to mana leech, ES leec

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

I wanted to share my current build - a very tanky variation of something I built after being inspired by That's Real Neato. Aegis Aurora, Cerberus Limb, and Nature's Patience cluster jewel, plus a channeling skill to take advantage of standing still. Determination for armor, and Juggernaut to get freeze/root avoidance, endurance charges, extra armor, chaos res, and life regen. Leap slam with faster attacks, accuracy gem, and fortify to move around more easily and pick up fortify. The damage output is not extreme, but it's been enough. The mapping is ok, but not zoomy. But standing stil
