Been enjoying the build. I take down almost anything fairly easily. Where can I improve from here do you guys think?

A couple things I upgraded (and I am still working towards):
- Get aspect of the spider (I put mine on my ammy)
- Got gloves with gems get lvl 20 blind and lvl 20 faster casting (helps with flame dash and BV)
- I got boots with chance to gain elusive and found it was great for an MS and dodge bump
- Get better HP everywhere (I am in same same peril here, lol)
- +3 minion helm with sentinel enchant

I've pretty much run my PoB into the ground and with Awakened Minion Dmg and Awakened Brutality, lvl 21 HoP, Vuln, Punishment, Aspect of the Spider, F&S, Pride, Dread Banner i'm coming up with 4.1M DPS/sentinel which is a ton. I don't have a +1 Sentinel Bone Helmet, nor do i think i'll grind for one to craft, which would be another substantive boost in DPS (especially if elder, -9% Phys Reduction +20% minion dmg). Maxing out all of my Mana Res on rings, anoint charisma, and 30% pride reduction gets me to a total of 81 Unreserved Mana which is fine, not great - about enough for two bvs. I'm guessing i could get to about 4.7-4.8m DPS per sentinel - about 2M less than last league (with 4 fewer sentinels!) but the game is easymode - nothing is near as gibby as delirium.

At any rate, i'm currently sitting at about 3.3M DPS / sentinel which is plenty for AW8 and any content i've faced. 5.3K HP and 22K armor with Molten up, 26k with VMS up. I think I might be able to get close to maxing chaos res if i figure out what to do with my belt. I could probably squeeze in another medium or large cluster, but i havent done the math on that yet - my guess is i can get pretty darn close to 4.5M DPS without a bone helmet.

fun build as usual. crafting really got fun. Check my amulet - it's very close to being perfect - need to hit the remove/add phys for +1 phys skills... tough roll.

Hi guys! I start delirium league with this build, its great! In this League i play with my girlfriend, she start with aurabot. I have ball lightning miner, but i want play HOP Guardian. And i think it's trouble: daggers can't do elemental damage, and brutality support can't do ele damage. Anyone know how change build for play with aurabot for maximum buff's?

I feel like I have just about maxed my damage out and it is insane. 6.2mil combined DPS per sentinel? Content is very easy flying through T16 maps and Guardians and anything I want to. 6.2 x 5 Sentinels is nuts. Sure seems viable this league.

Yo, should I follow PoB or written guide here? Skill setups differ.

How do purity bois feel without feeding frenzy?

I would copy mine or Kamikazis build. Technically I copied him but we discuss items and stuff in game frequently.

Here's my build: https://pastebin.com/U4LeubxL

Make sure you are using the Community Fork POB as well

Not to toot my own horn, but my un-optimized version should get more DPS than Kazi's build. Here's my POB if you want to take a look.

Curent: https://pastebin.com/wbNZ4ptb <--- 3.8M DPS/Sentinel for 19M DPS.

Aspirational, w/ Awakened Gems & Extra Cluster Jewel, Bone Helmet, Perfected Amulet: https://pastebin.com/VzcfA7mk <--- 8.0M DPS/Sentinel for 40M DPS.
This build would have:
Bone Helmet +3 Minions, Minion Damage (T1), Life, Res, 9% Phys Reduction
Awakened Multistrike, Awakened Brutality, Awakened Melee Phys, Awakened Minion Damage, Deathmark
Awakened Curse on hit w/ Punishment
Amulet with Pride Reservation (30% w/ Catalyst), +1 Phys Gems, +1 Str Gems
Hands of the High Templar with Curse Enfeeble and Curse Vulnerability

Note that this is just massive overkill. If you want to min/max, you can. It starts getting a little light on health (5.3K) but that's plenty for this season, hard to get one shot with 30K armour and a good block rate. Spells might get ya though.

An update to my HoP build:


With my current gear, I had no issue against A8 Sirus and Uber Elder. The only end-game content I have not tried are Simulacrum and 100% Delirium.

I am done with the league though. Right now, I am just taking my time and trying to finish this amulet via Harvest remove/add physical to get +1 to All Physical spell gem.

The only negative I felt was usage of Whirling Blade as travel skill. It is too wonky and it doesn't allow you to dodge Sirus's rotating beam unlike Dash and Flame Dash. I swapped to Dash and gave up Fortify for quality of life.

How tankjy is this build? ( i play HC)

Also what advantage of guardian over necro for this build? wouldnt necro have more dps and survability?
