Thanks, you were certainly an inspiration to me, got me into crafting for the first time, and this is the highest I took my character. What's your next project looking to be?

Farm some currency, finish off 4040, I'm doing challenges strictly with no buying, carried or offered by any people this league, to try and see if I can do it, in preparation for maybe playing 100% SSF next league.

And perhaps leveling a second char to 100 with similar path in my mind, craft my own gear, and min/max! Haven't just decided what I want to play, Maybe the try out cold conversion of SST, maybe play one of the new skills, as long as it's not a totem build! :D

Here comes most likely my last gear update for this character in Expedition!

It took about a month to fully min/max this char and it's probably as far as I can take it, with exception of couple influence slams/finishing off shield with Aisling/influence but most of these things are minor now and wont affect dps, mostly manking the character even tankier.

Ended up with over 9m Sirus dps with flasks up (Not 100% sure on the number due to Cruelty gem) and about 11m+ normal dps. About ~7k life atm with Divine Flesh, 76/76 block when Hit and immunity to freeze/chill. I have room for another jewel for my setup and perhaps upgrading some of them, but those are either incredibly overpriced atm or dont exist!

It can become incredibly hard to min/max this kind of character due it being meta/pricy and some very specific crafts involve lot of rng and gogain if you fail! (My body armour took 11 awakener orbs attempts to get the third suffix open, and that via "lucky" Annul, despite several times trying to save it with non influence to influence, but it would always hit a suffix)

I'm just looking to give inspiration to others who attempt to also min/max this and get some ideas for different itemslots!

Spoiler

for speedclearing maps instead of swift afflication

I had an earlier version of your build saved off as a goal I would never reach, and it looks like you switched from Lifetap and Cannibalistic Rite to Divergent Chance to Bleed. Seems like a solid choice at any point, but were you waiting to hit a certain threshold or get other gear before switching?

Are you planning to supplement it all with a perfect 3 mod watcher's eye?

I think that's too expensive tbh sadly, or there wont exist any Watcher's Eye's like that in this league!

Anyway, I decided it was time to try my luck on my shield!

It's finally done!
