From what I've seen in PoB, you can stack 5 heralds and be at maximum buffs with just two or three jewels. But of course you need reservation reduction.

Oh, and the DPS is divided by 1000 (see the 400M DPS herald stack build, it is now 700k in PoB :) ).

Tried to tinker a bit and made somewhat an aura stack : https://pastebin.com/ebTVECNy

The defensive mechanics are here but the DPS lacks two zeros.
If anyone is inspired...

Despite the DPS loss, would it still be viable defensive wise? Obtaining 90% phys, 90% all res and regen?

I can deal with the dps loss IF the defense is still there.. Just curious if anyone had tinkered at all with the build and managed to find a potential working variant..

Tinkered a bit more and re-introduced the Heralds in it : https://pastebin.com/08QeCpFx
Basically 1,2M more DPS and 3% max res. The phys reduction goes from 83% to 90% but the evade chance goes from 77% to 61%.
Oh, and 9% more move speed lol.

Compared to the original build of this thread :
- (offensive) it lacks two zeros in DPS
- (offensive) lost half of cast speed
- (defensive) lost a bit less than half of regen
- (defensive) lost 20% evasion
- (defensive) lost 2% max res (dunno if it can be overcome at all)
- (trololols) lost 150% move speed

Defensive-wise it's still rather good, but DPS-wise it will be way longer to kill people.

P.S. : I was forced to hack the 40% Auras effect increase into Megalomaniac, as it seems Purposeful Harbinger is not working in PoB (or I can't make it work, dunno).

Well, last day of fun was Friday.
It became very clear this form of build doesn't work like that for good.
So, the philosophy must be changed. The trouble is the value of those gear pieces, completely useless now: full bankruptcy on standard league.

Made it a bit more powerful (some unnecessary reduced reservation of Purity skills) : https://pastebin.com/1GNS43kg

Yup. Spent all I earned in league and all I had in standard (plus sold some valuable uniques and 6 links) to buy all the gear. Now I have nothing left, not even a viable build lol.
