[3.18] 🔮☄️ Aura Stacking - EZ new Uber Content ☄️🔮

I have been given a full set of VERY BASIC gear for this, and I am trying to make it work.

I was hoping i can get some advice on this thing, so I know if my budget (70ex + what is already there, or 100ex if I sell the special quality type Wrath i just bought) is going to make this thing fun or should i just sell it all and focus on other characters?

WRONG PASTEBIN WAS POSTED
CORRECT ONE : https://pastebin.com/DdDLBp80

Any advice much appreciated.

I'd like to know if its worth pumping this much ex into or whether I should abandon ship.

Hi guys!

I'm now on the spark version and i have a question:
Can you tell me which WE might be most appropriate in this case? For EK it was very simple choice, but for spark i'm stuck in conclusions.

But the rings give you 100% chance to shock vs frozen enemy's so dont need lightning damage right?

But only lightning damage can shock unless you have item/skill/gem that states otherwise. So 100% for 0 damage is still 0% chance.

Thats why you want the new ones with 20% elemental catalysts.

I started this build today and i have huge problems to get this going, my dps is low and im weak, barely enough for T16. Would be very very awesome if someone can have a quick look what i did horribly wrong?

just letting you know - this build starts at more than 600ex currently - wouldn't advise to start it anywhere below as it would feel indeed horrible :)

You are trying to play a spark CI aurastacker. You aren't using hatred, you don't have 10% non-curse skills on shield. You don't have either of the damage penetration gems (purity of elements and purity of ice). You are level 92, your aura effect is really low. You picked up a RMR pure talent - but haven't taken a node from the templar starting point (IMO its a waste anyway).You socketed might of the meek but aren't taking the two points before leadership.

Now I'm not really sure what kind of performance u expect from a build with 1m spark DPS, but its not a surprise that you are struggling. Next time you are looking to invest a lot into the build, make sure that your POB actually looks decent..you could probably make a pretty strong EK LL build on that budget.

Thank you so much, sir! Yeah, I made so many mistakes, im gonna fix that. What you mean 10% non-curse skills on shield? i can't see that on the build.

Edit: I followed your instructions and i can facetank sirius beam and all that now at level 96. I got those gems which helped a lot but at sirius dps was very low, took me like 5min to kill. I dont know what to do about it, actually i even don't know how to lookup the dps in PoB. Maybe you could give me a hint?

And yeah, i figured out that mod on the shield, i just followed that one from the crafting section of this guide, didn't know there is a better option.

The optimal aurastacking build looks different at every budget. You can't try and replicate Jix's build on a smaller budget, and there isn't much in this guide that will help you.

I would check out Akshay's guide on this forum which has 3.12 POBs for different budgets, including a 500ex one which looks quite good. There are a few issues with that POB (untick power charges and shock) and use anomolous dread banner (instead of divergent). I would also recommend using a large cluster similar to the one I have. They are dirt cheap and gives you blind + snowstorm (10% DPS).

Edit: To clarify, this isn't to knock the guide at all. It explains some of the core concepts, but it does require you to pick up on those concepts and adjust the template based on your budget. Akshay's guide kind of spoon feeds that to you via POBs for different budgets.

I have another question. I pushed to lvl 98 now and i'm at 90% estimated physical damage reduction and max res is 90/90/90/100, i have like 70k armor, 30k evasion and 4.5k es but i sometimes die in delirium maps (not even 100%, just T16 zana mod). That divergent determination gems did wonderful things, but what can i do to get even more tankier? I mean what do i have to focus? Will it come just with more aura effect (I just have ~4.3 right now) or do i have to do some other magic? I hardly have to compensate my bad play style.
