I have 65k with just auras and conc effect , with 5 power charges and flasks (which is up 100% of the time) I have 150k. No vaal haste, HH buffs etc.
But I lose a lot of ES from gloves , belt and maybe somewhere else. My shield is garbage also , the last and only piece for me to upgrade left.
My gear example , so you can compare :

Thanks for the tips, I'm really worried about the loss of the ES. I'm looking for the best options of gems to compensate for the lack of Skyforth.

You chose to Master Alchemist / Natures Boon or Master Herbalist / Veteran Bowyer?

I wasn't using any powercharge setup back when I don't have skyforth since i'm lazy to cast additional BV or Orb of Storm with PCoC and still killing shaper, uber with ease :) But this 2 are the best (and only ,imo) reliable solutions I suppose if you're up to it.

I'm using Veteran Bowyer + Master Herbalist , poison and + 30 chaos res with flasks is absolutely amazing , bowyer's penetration is decent also.

I see no reason( for me personally) to pick nature's boon since my flask are always up even without chalice and I don't need status immunity from master alchemist, since I need only antifreeze flask (which is rolled on diamond) because i'm using rumi's + quicksilver instead of vinktar+ chalice for every encounter including shaper , guardians , uber etc.

If u're using Vinktar and not wearing magnate belt or having troubles keeping your flasks up - you can consider swapping to nature's boon for additional flask sustain. It's up to your needs

Magnate/30 STR node/Efficient Training/depending on your gear a amulet with STR and so on. There are a ton of options.

Yeah I got my build up and running now thanks for the reply. Just got a 40+ str ring. Fairly happy with the switch from life to low life, just not sure how to build power charges without skyforth. Might just have to do without. Any recommendations on my gear? Pretty broke after the 6L Shavs today.

gear

Edit ** Just did phoenix for the first time, Can't keep up charges at all. Had to portal 3 times... Need halp. Haha.

I wonder how you have 100% flask uptime. I'm using Chalice and I still don't always have 100% flask uptime vs guardians/fight where I have to dodge a bit.
