Delirium too strong? Call in Friends to help you! [Ethical Juggernaut Summoner|Sirus, T16 Delirium]

Hello fello lovers of the THICC boy!
Tired of getting beat up by Delirium mobs? Want some thicc life regen and nice FLAT physical mitigation? You are in luck! Because I got just the thing for you. Successful Encounters so far: Maze of the Minotaur 100% Delirium https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmYHfyb0FX4&feature=youtu.be Solo Simulacrum Sirus level 5 The quick stats first! NO VOICES ABUSING! But we are using some of the new notables which grant us four additional sentinals. That's double the Power. 8 Sentinals of Purity, EACH with 1m pure physical DPS 6.5k hp 90% Phys mitigation (Actually much more, we get about 65% FLAT phys mitigation through 6 endurance charges, 16% from our Sentinals and many small amounts. These are not having diminishing returns against large hits, oposed to armor.) No extra Damage from critical strikes Minions with % Taunt and % Blind on hit over 10% life regen (Professional Sirus' hate this simple trick!) and the usual JUGG Goodness aka no slow in 100% Delirium
How does this Build work and play? Most important Items
You want four Medium Cluster Jewels with the Node "Pure Agony". These grant one additional Sentinal each. The second Node can be anything of the following: Cult-Leader (35% Minion Damage), Disciples (Phys Mitigation and Minion Damage) or Invogation Portents (Minion Damage and Speed)
These Medium Cluster Jewels should have 4 or 5 added passives and a Jewel socket. In the small Socket you can put Small Cluster Jewels which grant % Life per node (expensive) or just regular Jewels with % Life and % Minion Damage. Ghastly Eye Jewels also work, look for +30 flat Life and some Sort of Minion Damge (physical only) as well as either Taunt or Blind on hit. You need two Large Cluster Jewels with two added Jewel Sockets and 8 or 9 added small passives. Look for a Jewel with Rotten Claws. I mean, you could use Voices... But please only if you have 200 exalts leftover. Because Voices is only worth it if you can get one with 3 passives. We use Ball Lightning (BL) to kill the small worthless Worms of the Wormflask. This triggers our first four Sentinals. Spam BL on rare or Unique enemies to spawn the maximum amount of Sentinals almost instantly. (10% chance on hit, BL hits about 6 times per second) These super cheap Daggers increase the level of our Sentinals by 6 and make this possible. Sideffect: Some thicc Vaal Molten Shell and Pride aura. Juicy. Currently the only really (3 to 4 exalted) expensive items for this Build. Kinda obvious. You need a total of 75% reduced reservation if you want to use Pride and Blood and Sand with Maim.
Rest of the Gear
You could use 6 link armor you want. Belly of the Beast for example. Or a skin of the Loyal for more Damage. But I choose this because it is super thicc and looks amazing! Also about 40k armor. And no extra Damage from critical strikes is nice. Rest is simply as much Life and Armor as we can get. Also don't sleep on chaos resistance this league! Only important part is the Annointment. Ravenous Hoard is the Juice.
Gem Setup
Herald of Agony -> Minion Damage -> Brutality ->Melee Phys -> Impale -> Feeding Frenzy / Minion Speed
Cwdt(1) - Flesh Offering (8) - Convocation(5) Cwdt(14) - Immortal Call (16) - Increased Duration - Vaal Molten Shell Pride - Blood and Sand - Maim (yes that works for some stupid reason - Enlighten (2) Ball Lightning - Flame Dash - Blood Magic - Faster Casting (if you get the colors right) One 3 Link with whatever you like :) Cwdt - Curse for example
Budget?
Two Rings 3ex each; 6L Brass Dome 5,5ex; Boots, Helmet and Gloves 1ex total; Amulet 50 to 100c; Belt 50 to 100c; Abyss and normal Jewel anything between 3c and 100c each; Cluster Jewels] (what I payed iirc)Large ones 30c each, Medium 30 to 90c (sadly on the abuser Base and thus rose in price); small atleast 100c each; all important gems with 21 level and stuff 2 ex
Makes in Total from 15 to 20 exalts for my current Version
But why don't you play Witch or Guardian?
The thing that made me go Jugg is simply "Unstoppable". I hated to be slowed down (action speed, not just movement) from high % Delirium content. And I didn't like the prospect of going Guardian with Energy Shield without any form of Leech or recovery.
A quick check with PoB shows about 40% more Damage as the Guardian with Unwarvering Crusade, but I prefered the much better Defense of the Jugg.My experience in T16 maps has confirmed my expectations. I rarely ever die and my Minions deal enaugh damage for all the content.
But how do I level this thing?
I started using Herald of Purity and Agony at level 16. Link BL with lesser Poison and you should be good to go. At 60 I grabbed the first Cluster on the left side of the tree. At 93 I felt tanky enaugh to spec into the second cluster at the top.
Here is a Tree for like sub 90 https://pastebin.com/rVnY5pC1 I think it is only worth it to travel up to the second Cluster if you have enaugh Points and you don't need to slaughter your precious Scion Life Wheel.Take 2-Point Jewels and some leftover Minion Nodes until you can respec.
Other Endgame Stuff if you want to show off
A Helmet with any Herald of Purity Enchant and maybe the "Enemies take increased Physical Damage" mod you get with Jagged Fossil.
Voices with 3 added passives. You can have 10 Sentinals that way. Sadly there is no cool Corruption on the daggers or the Cheast except for +1 Gems and + 1 max res. You could swap the daggers for two Wands with +1 Minion and +1 Spell Gems and minion Damage but this is very expensive and not worth it without high minion Damage on the Wands.

love the build, going to try it out once i finish leveling this guy. do the sentinals benefit from awakened melee phys and the 10% chance to intimidate?

what would you recommend as flasks for the other slots that aren't healing potion and worm generator or quicksilver?

What was your mindset on ball lightning instead of something like cyclone CWC blade vortex with fority? You wanted to keep your distance I am guessing?

That was my first thought as well. The build is being sold as really tanky so going into melee shouldn't hurt and Cyclone has some goodies (Fortify, Infused Channeling for more defense, I 'unno. Life on Hit? Mostly letting people move as they fish for virulence).
With Herald of Agony the worm flasks aren't even needed as we just need to hit the enemies instead of killing them. Last edited by CedricDur on Apr 6, 2020, 6:11:06 PM
