Hello i don't understand how the Wrath-Divine Blessing setup costs you only around 250hp. I see on your POB that you have a 0 base cost of the skill, but i can't find what gives you that.

Sorry for all the slow responses, I've been having a BLAST this league :)
Sentinel + Expedition farming is fun.

For the record, I started Absolution Necro and farmed a ton, then switched to CF TS Gladiator. Farmed a ton more last week and to be completely honest, while the build is a great speedclear farmer, I hate not having an Aegis + Melding build. The survivability is unmatched, even though my glad has 100% suppression, 80% max resists and 50k armor. I still highly recommend any form of Aegis + Melding Inquisitor, even if it's not my build - Abuse it before the nerfs. My 3rd character is definitely going to be another Melding/Aegis character, but probably a boss focused version.

Are there any options for single target gem swaping?
For some bosses it takes ages to kill and we are not immortal in uber content.

It will be good to swap spark for another skill for bossing.

As I mentioned in my OP, this build was not recommended for bossing/uber bossing. It's an excellent T16 juiced mapclear character that is very durable. However, I did not feel my DPS was too low for bosses; once you invest a fair amount into this build, you deal 5M+ DPS with just 1 spark hitting. Realistic DPS should be closer to 10M or 15M, and this was in 3.17 - I think with better investment in 3.18 you can do even more. If you are on lower gear levels and only deal like 2M... yea, it's going to be rough this league.

Overall, the "shell" of this build is very flexible. You can slot in most selfcast spells easily. I'd probably recommend something like Ball Lightning + Slower Projectiles for single target DPS.

Other good suggestions: Arc, Crackling Lance, Storm Burst, Divine Ire, BV. Basically anything that is lightning or phys convert to lightning.

Hi, nice build. Is possible to get the same modifiers on glorious vanity's small passives or them are rng generated?. The projectile speed ones are so good.

Unfortunately all glorious vanity's are completely randomized on divine orb; although each "seed" (the numbers) remain the same. So technically you can get the exact same one I have with the same number seed. Best bet is to just search TFT as people often post decent ones for sale. From experience however (i've used many Glorious Vanitys in prior leagues) you can typically land something "good enough" for your build in a fair amount of divines, say around 30-40 estimate. You might not get a full 100% usable nodes, but even hitting like 80% is good enough.

But yeah, I'm having issues with survivability and clear speed in t16 + sentinel.
- Getting consistently one shot by Sentinel monsters in maps with unfavorable mods (like reduced chance to block)
- Clear speed feels janky due to lack of DPS and inability to kill stronger rares and beyond mobs.
- Instruments of Zeal feels _just_ ok, given the price it does the job, but the uptime is quite low and shield charge playstyle is taxing.

Build does one thing well for sure - tank boss hits (not in maps!), but DPS is a letdown I'd say, given the amount of currency the build costs.

Here's my PoB: https://pastebin.com/H3rqStUi

From what I can tell, your gear/DPS is just low, hence why you are feeling the build is janky. When you reach higher investment levels, you essentially 1shot everything and Fanaticism will have a 100% uptime since you are always on the move.

For reference, my PoB shows my average spark "hits" for about 630,000 damage. At 8.38 casts per second, that's 5.3 million DPS, only considering 1 hit per cast.

Your PoB shows your average hits at 258,000. Your casts per second are similar, at 8.67 (actually faster than mine) but this only equals 2 million. You are doing less than half of my damage - so just think how much better your clear would be with 2.5x the damage. It's really a huge difference.

Frenzy charge generation is a big one - that alone provides 500,000 dps (25% more than you do now). Then you need more crit (through str/int on gear) - you only have 72%, when you should easily be at 80-90% before using a Diamond flask. I'm at 100% crit without a diamond flask. I suggest replacing Inpulsa for a crafted rare chestpiece. Spark does not really need explodes to clear well.

I think im doing something wrong since my dps is so low would be much appreciated if i can get help on my gears

https://pastebin.com/MLiJMUzi here is the pob btw

As per above, your DPS is just a bit low - you are at around 1.8 Million. Try to get a way to generate frenzy charges, as that's an extra 400k for you. A better wand might do more for you than Nebulis unless you get more resists above 75%. Craft a chestpiece with +1 skills, frenzy on hit, etc.

You are at around 1.9M DPS, which is quite low.
I noticed you are missing the Caster Mastery +1 Intensity. This is a big one, 300K more DPS for you. Also try to get frenzy charges for another 400k. You are missing a lot of cast speed at only 6.5 per cast, try to push this up to 8+. You really want Onslaught - if you can't get it on your ring, run a silver flask. Also one of your large cluster jewels doesn't really do anything - the Cold Damage one is wasted. Also try to fit in 1 medium projectile cluster, it's a 50% increased damage boost for 3 skill points. Ideally you want 2 more medium clusters, this is where a lot of your damage comes from.

Hello i don't understand how the Wrath-Divine Blessing setup costs you only around 250hp. I see on your POB that you have a 0 base cost of the skill, but i can't find what gives you that.

I'm going to be honest, I have no idea why PoB is saying this. Could be a bugged. I know from experience that the Divine Blessing + Wrath buff didn't cost only 250 or 0, it definitely chunked me for a good 1500 or 2000. Either way, the regen would instantly bring you back to full.

I know that Fanaticism reduces "all costs" by 75% (not just mana, also life costs). My best guess is PoB could be double dipping? Reducing the mana cost by 75%, then converting it to life cost via Lifetap, then reducing the life cost by 75%. Could be why PoB is showing 0 life cost.

If I went with a Skin of the Lords and socketed an Empower 4, what support would you suggest replacing?

Best to PoB it, but according to my setup, Increased Critical Strikes would be the best to drop.

I'd say if you have at least solid crit chance, like 70%+ with a diamond flask, drop the crit chance.

You need Purity of Ice to level 23, which I get from +1 on chest and +1 on helm.

How else can I get it to 23 without +1 on chest?

I found +2 aura/aoe corruption in Aegis Aurora and 21 purity of ice is not too expensive, but more flexible.

+2 corrupt is only option I can think of.

However, I believe there is an alternate way to get +5% max resists from HoI without +2, you can get away with +1 but you need a sufficient amount of Aura Affect. I did some testing but forgot the exact number, you would need to fit in like 1 or 2 aura effect clusters to boost the effect of it up to the next breakpoint.

Could consider doing this instead of a crit/projectile cluster as an alternate setup

Hey there! I always hear using Aegis and corrupted soul is trolling because you can still die due to the dmg to health split from corrupted soul while being full on ES due to the insane recovery Aegis provides. Should we drop it when using aegis?
