Hey can you give me some pointers? I'm not quite to this point yet, but I'm mid70s and have most of the gear (really just need gloves 4 jewels, and ~10 levels to be at this point).

So that link is basically my current character + short term goals. the 5700 ES is probably my main concern. Current character is about 4500 + no Molten shell yet. 5700 + Molten shell is definitely a nice boon, but I still can get insta-gibbed occasionally (which feels terrible)

I think my setup is fairly solid overall, but would like some critique from someone who actually knows the playstyle. I adapted this guardian variant from your guide since you said its more budget friendly than the necro you're planning, and this isn't my main toon, so I didn't want to spend tons on the character (it's already been a few ex, mostly thanks to skyforth+gloves).

I appreciate your time, and hope finals went well!

Switch classes entirely. Templar does ALL of the heavy lifting nowadays (followed by pure necros, then anything else > Scion.) A much better guide can be found here.

You need 9 jewels with ACTUAL Stats (counting one in your Stygian Vise) to be an efficient aurabot.

Huge potential this league with new influences and catalysts.

The ability to have 12% reduced reservation on an amulet is a game changer.

Also, top end timeless jewels are 1/4 their usual price due to legion being a map modifier.

Absolutely the right league to min max an aurabot if you have the ex to do so.

Also have one, tried crafting one and it was extremely expensive. Roll a Shaper ammy and hit mana reserved, craft suffixes cannot be changed, slam a redeemer exlated orb on it and hope it hits T1 Redeemer Mana reserved. (Hit T2 quite a bit). This has been patched though. Only way to do it now is to alteration spam and hope you hit it on the Augment or Regal (Spent 4 ex in Alt and never saw them both). Luck varies, but it's quite difficult.
