Out of curiosity Creds what's the cast time of WI on your build? I see in that screenshot 0.77 casts / second by the thread author. This build can get down to 0.30 - 0.35.

Sure a shavs multi aura all unique version of this build is going to do good damange and have great resists but at a significantly increased cost. The buld you're talking about is also running 2x lvl 4 enlightens and 1 lvl 4 empower. Not even close to comparable to this build which can do all endgame content significantly cheaper. It also leeches hp @ 1% damage where this one leeches @ 4%. Yours is also missing fortify. It appears to be following the mantra of what's dead can't hurt you which works quite well in poe.

Not saying the build you're following isn't good - it is but it's different and appears to have a lot less defense and more offence and initial cost.

You made my day - 25ex haha

I don't even give a shit about the rest of what you say, but here is facts :
Shavronne's Wrappings 6.5-7ex
Atziri's Acuity 15-16ex
21.5ex for 2 items, add other items to get a complete stuff and you rapidly reach ~25ex.

We're a tri curse build. Hexproof hurts but is doable, not recommended but doable. Worst map is no regen volcano for the boss. I just switch to my alt staff and throw a mana leech gem in for those.

He's using a CORRUPTED Acuity with a very specific vaal mod as his defense against stun. I don't think he was laughing at your estimate of 25ex as being too high ;)

Thanks for opening your character. That sort of gear is not going to happen in a new league, and not a lot of people can get that in Standard either.

Are you able to do the 4 guardians yourself, or just buy frags and do the Shaper? Looks like you can't facetank the big bosses, just dodge and get it down with high damage Icestorm?

Why Bated Breath and not Perandus Blazon? Wouldn't that be more beneficial to the all-unique build?

WM is just the main source of mana. But we have two alternative source - the boot enchantment and this cheap unique ring (switch with Doedre's):

You can do Hexproof NoRegen maps just fine, with some practice (know when to start and stop casting). I have done a Hexproof NoRegen Minotaur once because the map rolled crazy IIQ and pack size and it was worth doing just for the drops from trash mobs (got 3 T16 maps!), but I killed the boss anyway.

Usually, by the time you get to lv 86-90, you still need some resists. Kraityn's +10% is nice for 1 skill point. And when your endgame gear gets good enough to overcap all resists by 10%, you surely have 20 Regrets in your stash. My Shaper farmer char in the Essence league still has Kraityn at lv 92. I don't care to find godly gear for him there, his total budget is less than 10 ex. Without Kraityn his resists would be lacking (he has 133 LR even with Kraityn, but that's acceptable) and I'd need to spend more currency on better items. 1 skill point, 1 level, is an easy enough solution.
