[3.10] Herald of Agony Mana Guardian | 2.5 Minute Sirus 8 | Deathless T19 100% Delirium

Hello guys just before this league ends I want to post my progress too,
this is the gear I managed to gather for CI:

The key differences I have compared to the original post is that:
-Im using awakened chain instead of pierce and for most bosses i swap chain for
-Using triple lvl 25 purities, if you dont wanna invest so much i would say lvl 25 purity of fire is mandatory for the build since you pretty much stop dying in maps(unless the map has both -max and % fire damage mods).

I wanted maximum juice out of this build and because I could not fit evertyting in, I rolled a Low Life toon which is tankier and clears maps faster so next league ill be going low life.

Nerfs to common "OP" builds like Summoner, Mana Guardian, Hoag

Let's pray for the best. It would be a real shame if they nerfed this build into the ground.

To me, this build requires a decent amount of investment to be end-game viable (must-have uniques) and a steady investment to become OP (level 31 hoag, mana reservation gearcheck) which is what a well-balanced build should aspire to.

1:34:50 - Mana Guardians (especially Radiant Crusade), Herald of Agony, very large sources of Mana, Grand Spectrum, and a couple of other Uniques he can't think of right now will be getting nerfed. The goal is to promote normal Mana builds and nerf the excessive Mana builds.

1:37:35 - Shaper's Touch and Geofri's Sanctuary will be getting nerfed.

This build is so out of line a 20% nerf in damage and durability still makes it tier 1.

I just hope they don't change radiant faith / herald of agony to something completely different.

In conjunction with the shaper's touch nerf I am hoping for something like going from 18K energy shield to 15K, 2.4 million shaper damage to 1.8 million.

The current build strength, whether it is 12K energy shield, 10 million shaper damage or 30K energy shield, 1 million shaper damage is simply absurd.

It will still be very viable in HC but I am not sure about SC, especially because we don't know how severe the nerfs will be.

They are also talking about HoAG nerfs because, lets face it, it is one of the only high DPS skill left that doesn't really need to be scaled to deal with most things quickly.

I am hoping for a 20% nerf instead of build destroying change.

Played quite a few other tier 1 builds and quickly realized the non-glass canon version of these builds can't beat Herald of Agony in real world damage. When you are dodging boss mechanisms, you are not doing damage.

Yeah, the combination of insane tankyness and actual boss dps is just too much. Historically when they nerfed a skill and it was still used heavily after that they doubled down on the nerfs (see WO).

In the best case scenario this build will be "normalized", in the worst case they could nerf every single aspect of the build individually and destroy it.
