I don't recommend 5 jewels I was just showing you what jewels are good.

Can I get cheaper version of Life Based MoM Budget Build and its not budget when u have to spend over 130 c to amulet and another that on flask(my opinion).

I should have posted about my budget journey to lvl 89 earlier.
(Note first, I think Zerker is even better for budget because of the Ascendency life/mana leach, which we have to go out of our ways to get on witch)

So an Ultra Budget version of Paige's build is Pledge of hands, aim for atleast 130% spell dmg, 140%+ is better. Costs 1 alch-5c give or take. IT's enough to even 4 link it to reach 48-58k dps with charges. If you use Ice bite, that'll possibly double. With a 5link which should cost you about 27-30c for a 140%+ staff I do about 98k dps with all charges up.
Please note that you cannot use Jeweller's touch prophecy on an item that's already 6socketed.

I use a plain rare amulet with life and res, still farming chaos for Pandemonius, and yet it's good enough to do t1-t10 maps for the most part, bosses are tough for everyone now that they've had their life buffed so that is something you'll need to face with the budget build, only OP builds that often cost a fortune can melt a bosses life since 3.0.

I use a Belly that I got from a prophecy but before that I used a lightning coil because of how dirt cheap it is. You can use any defensive armour that compliments your build in the budget version. You want Life, or dmg mitigation. That means Lightning Coil, Belly of the Beast, Kintsugi, Daresso's Defiance, Perfect Form, Cloak of Defiance, Rare with 100+life and as much evasion/armor as you can get. It's also perfectly fine for colours' sake to use an ev/es or ar/es hybrid rare chest. Atziri's Splednour would also work for mob clearing. If you plan to lvl to 90 you skip most dangerous bosses anyway and just go for packsize.

I would highly suggest grabbing a Maligaro's Virtuosity gloves, they're not expensive and will help with Dex, Crit chance, Crit Multi.

On the Passive tree I was originally a Mom Life Stormbursters so I still have the Scion Life wheel on my build, it lets me have 4950 life. Without the scion Life wheel I'd go from 181% life~ to about 159% but more dps with the 120p passive tree. Also, since I use a staff I skipped on the Dual Wielding dmg nodes. Also, I still have Alira's bandit reward, not the +2 passives. I'm working on regrets to see if respecing to the build tree+Kill all bandits will hurt my survivability.

The only other unique I use is a Dream Fragment for that extra freeze and chill immunity. Stun's are still potentially a problem though. Pantheon might fix it.
Unlike the build guide, I use Brine King and Ryslatha since life flask charges per 3 seconds helps me on bosses. Elemental Reflect is not a problem after Ascendency until you get over 90k dmg on single target. And Ele Reflect maps are a no-no regardless. Stun is an issue to some degree but since you freeze or chill few mobs hit you often.

Without the Belly, my total build cost is about 38c with the two unique jewels, dream frag, maligaro's, pledge, 5link for pledge.

My gem setup is Freezing Pulse, Ice Bite(massive dmg boost), Power charge on Critical, ICS, ICDS. I think crit and crit multi is the core of our dmg. Until you get over 65% crit strike with charges up, I'd use a Diamond flask on every pack. Also Pledge comes with a build in lvl 30 spell echo so you can make a pseudo 7link, If you can get crit from gem, passives, jewels, rings,amulet, gloves and reach close to crit max, it may compare to dual void battery or upper tier rare wand/daggers. Worth testing for sure before one invests.

Final notes: I very much want to test if a rare armour with 150life ends up giving more life than Belly of the Beast. It would save us a TON of currency and allow us to get colours easier. With a 50+ str roll a rare could give as much as 180life.

Enjoy

Edit:
Here's a Pastebin for my current tree: https://pastebin.com/jTtQmr9T
And a Pastebin for my planned respec (it loses life in favour of more offense):https://pastebin.com/cnQL8c9p
(note) Deep though could be swapped for any other two nodes, or staying spec'd in Alira bandit reward. Fine tune at your discretion/gear

Thank you ಥ_ಥ, now at least what to do. I have a question what's better wand with shield or dual wands?

Glad I could help.

Dual wands have more dps potential.
Shield could offer 100+ life rolls, spell dmg, cast speed to give some dps while also filling in holes in the rest of your gear till you get better stuff.

Exception:If you got the dual wield cluster at the top of the Witch area. It's best to leave weapon specific nodes for the very end on most builds.

I've got similar problem if you could help what should I change it would be awesome.

Hi i got a 3 green 3 blue belly of the beast is any way i can make it work like this or should i keep throwing chromatics at it?

I like the play style :) thanks!

Fun build. I still die if I get too cocky with facetanking and trusting my flasks/haste, but it's a nice combination of mindless and low-stress clearing.

Have my 2 Voids, working on the amulet and Belly. Got a decent 6L 110 life rare for 40c that will definitely do for now.
