That's really good advice. I'll try to make the changes over the next couple of days. A few more questions to your suggestions:

1) What stats should i be looking for lethal pride? any good numbers that's recommended?
2) Which area of mana points should i drop? all seems to add either 15% or 20% to maximum mana which seems really good to drop though.
3) What about my skill gems links, i see Popcorn's youtube video where he uses projectile weakness tgt with ball lightning?
3) I see that small overlook on the ignited part. So I should aim to have Strength more than dexterity?
4) I thought the small and medium jewels are already at their max. Slam the medium and small clusters to get more passives stats to nodes?

sry really new at this HoA build. came over from FP totem and this HoA is quite a refreshing playstyle.

1) Mainly you need to get Glancing Blow. It is impossible to understand by numbers which exact passive gives Lethal Pride, so you need iether to ask the seller or just buy the cheapest one and divine it a couple of times. It also can provide you some additional buffs in Dreamer passive. Mine gives me 20% fire resistance. I don't know whether there can be obtained something more usefull.
2) I would drop 2 points near Cruel Preparation - Deep Thoughts and mana. They gives you like 350 ES in total. But Lethal Pride and endurance charges give you much more survivability. If you still don't have enough points drop more mana points.
3) Yes. Your belt gives you immune to ignite if your strength is higher than dexterity.
4) Medium clusters with Discipline and Pure Agony are perfect for us and they can have an additional buff for small passive. I got adiitional atack and cast speed for minions and a bit intelligence/strength. Not much, but maybe you will get something better. Small clusters also can have up to 4 stats. 1 is busied by skill, while other 3 gives more buffs to small passives.

I managed to get a lethal pride that changes both conduit and pain attunement to glancing blows. that's not good right?

They are always equal. That is how lethal pride works. If you got Glancing Blows - cool, that's exactly what you need. Just pick one of them, it doesn't matter which exact one. What did you get as a bonus for Dreamer passive?

dreamer was +20% damage to totem haha

Mission:
Create 5ex budget build with dirt cheap gear and pennies for cluster jewels.

Results:
I played 5 simulacrums and finished them all. The last 2 were deathless after I got used to not having a watcher's eye.

Video of wave 17-20 Deathless Simulacrum:

Pastebin of Level 94 tree used in video:
https://pastebin.com/9A4pnvd2

50 Stacks of Virulence
45k Armour
9.5k Energy Shield
75% Block
56% Spell Block
75% capped resists
Vaal Molten Shield + Vaal Discipline for tanking
Mad balls all over the screen while mapping


I bought almost all of the gear in a few hours last night for 1039 chaos. Better deals can definitely be had if you are patient. I bought a belt I didn't need after ditching Shaper's Touch and over spent about 60c.

Full cost breakdown of the gear is in the video description (yes I bought a skin of the loyal for 23c). This gear is all off meta and dirt cheap. I left a few of my level 21 gems in the chest that I did't feel like rebuying that added a small amount of extra damage.


Grand total of build:

7 exalts with Empower 4
5.6 exalts with Empower 3 (lose ~12% damage)

5 Exalts for a build that can deathless clear Simulacrum wave 20 repeatedly seems pretty good to me. I used Empower 4 in the video, but E3 should be fine. There are zero things in this build you need to spend more than 100c on right now.

These jewels are all complete junk except the one I crafted for 58c. The large cluster only had one usable passive. You could easily upgrade these as you earn currency. You can easily fit in a 3rd medium cluster and unallocate some of the weaker shield points.

I just wanted to show that you don't really need to buy all that expensive gear to crush content. Sure you can't facetank Kosis on wave 20 but that's fine. (Omniphobia facetanks just fine)
