3.6 CI Bane/Blight , budget league starter, under 100c 800k+ shaper DPS

Just coming in to say I've been playing this build again this season and so far its entirely still viable for high end content with very little investment. Once you get your resistance caps and 6K ES you'll easily be able to start farming red tier maps, from what I've seen the only problematic enemies on maps are archers and buffed up legion rares and annoying rares from the legion mechanic (special mention to the Maraketh archers and Vaal / Karui Spear throwers).

So far my highest boss is Shaper I was able to clear the encounter without much issue, outside of the channeling skill bug causing problem. I'm trying to unlock UBER Elder now, but unfortunately the prices of T16 maps on the PS4 are exorbitant to put mildly...

That said, for those interested in killing the Elder, Shaper Guardians, and the Shaper you'll definitely want to aim to min-max a bit more than last season. The nerf to Bane is noticeable in these fights, before I was able to take them down with little issue using only a 5 link but this time around it takes significantly longer with only a 5 link. Using a 6 link to deal with them is highly recommended, otherwise it takes much longer. I'm aiming now to get a Bane 40% damage buff from the UBER lab, hopefully I'll get it sooner rather than later.

As for the legion conflict I've done a four way conflict so far, I'll aim to do 5 once I finish my Maraketh splinters. I had little issue completing the conflict four times in one go, killing all generals and minions with ease. But honestly can't say the conflict domains are all that interesting or lucrative to run. But I suppose this would improve if I manage to get my Bane DPS up with the lab enchant, and potentially a level 21/20 corrupted.

But otherwise, I find the build holds up well despite the nerfs, and its definitely great in dealing with the Legion mechanics. That said, I feel outside of the damage and ES nerfs the nerf to Immortal call is still the most noticeable alongside the buff to the accuracy of enemies especially melee that are a pain to deal with -- and of course Legion rares (especially Maraketh archers)... But I think these problems are something shared by other caster builds.

UBER Elder down! So for those wondering yes you can take on UBER Elder with this build, and the other bosses as well. Although I will say there is less room for error, due to the lower ES and slower regen. Damage wise its easy enough to compensate with Aspect of Spider and the 21/23 gems that are just dropping like candy this season. Build definitely still stands up well for being a really budget friendly fast mapping and capable of all content sorta build.

Honestly what made the fight more difficult was just the issues we have playing on console with the bugs that haven't been fixed, in particular the channeling bug and the desync rubber band it causes.
