I finally got boots with movement speed, wow what a difference. Can't believe it took me so long to do so but everything was a little spendy. I hadn't played this game enough to realize how important it was.

Good boots are very important. I get them as one of my top priorities. They aren't hard to craft with Shuddering fossils or find on the market. You only need good ms and Int. ES can often be crafted too. There are new good mods now too, if you get lucky with fossils or throw a few ex at it.

But overall, fast movement speed is very nice.

Decided to do the final test for this build and kill my high-level depth Auls that i encountered when going down to 600 for the challenge.

Killed 4 of them from first try, here are some screens:

480 depth Aul
This boss ignites, didn't change Fertile Mind with The Vigil cause by making the change my Str < my Dex and i was no longer immune to ignite (that's why the higher ES also)


567 depth Aul


563 depth Aul


Another 563 depth Aul (different mods)


When i discovered them during the delving down mission they kinda scared me, some cause of mods, some cause of depth they were present.

After fighting them i change my mind a bit, they were not so dangerous at least when you have 18.000 ES :)

For Aul fights changed Soul of Arakaali (Blood Rage removed cause is dangerous during this fight, many invulnerable phases where you cant leech) with Soul of Solaris

Conclusion: Build once again proved its strength and power, being able to do both Uber Elder and high level depth Aul is one of the capabilities of only a few builds around.

1500 alts have gotten me this far:



with the multi mod it might not be too bad but I'm probably going to start rolling on another. I could use the fire res as I have that on the piece I'll be taking off.

I am soooooooooo curious about how much currency you spent in this build. Could you tell me ?
I have 11k ES and you have 18k !!!
I suppose you spent a lot of exalts, but I would like to have an idea of how much you spent... please

All pieces of gear together costed around 100 exalts. But i got them one by one while playing kinda a lot and actively filtering trade site to get cheapest deal for each piece.

Made a lot of trading (buying and reselling) and made a lot of currency by going down in delve, killing UE and selling guardian fragments and T15 maps.

Also by fast chaining Osuary Syndicate encounters with focus on getting the right persons in Intervention and Research you can make tones of currency from scarabs and pure breach stones.

What i can say is that Delve is one of the most rewarding if not "the most rewarding" piece of content this game can offer. Once your build can handle 400-500+ depth, buy Gilded Sulphite scarabs, roll them over T16 with 120-130 quantity and you will get a ton of sulphite which you can use after to mine a lot for cities(spawn rate of these was increased a lot compared to Delve league, at least from my experience, and you can get tons of maps and currency and other nice loot(The Doctor card for example) from them). To make an image i killed up till now around 30 Delve bosses from which 7 were Auls.

At one moment build can sustain itself with the investment and if you play a lot of the content that generate most of the currency you will be able to get better gear.

For example only in those 4 Aul kills from screens there were items with total value of around 25 exalts (3 rings and 1 amulet-Hatred)

Hi! Thank you for the amazing build!
One huge favour if possible, could you please add a Hardcore section with recommended Skill-Tree and Items?

I noticed you did something like this in your Scion build but for Delve.

I would greatly appreciate it! :D <3

Sorry, I don't have time to play in HC, especially in this league where I already missed almost a month during the holiday season.

For HC I would recommend just using Solaris and not risking the Arakaali/Blood Rage setup. Other than that, once you get past the leveling and wear your ES gear, you are hard to kill and should be fine for HC. Although you probably won't have a Watcher's Eye in HC, no idea about the prices there.

Make sure to enchant your boots ASAP. Merciless lab for 0.5% leech is fine.

Thank you for your feeback! Last question, how does ice storm stack against ice spear cwc? Damage wise that is?

Ice Spear is a completely different skill that has nothing in common with Icestorm except doing cold damage. This build stacks INT, and Icestorm damage scales from INT. Ice Spear does not. This build would not work well with Ice Spear.

Uber elder is down for the first time ever for me. I am in love with this build! :D
