Been playing around with this build for a long while now and recently came upon a cool tweak that I think people should consider if you're more into mapping and want to go even faster, while being even safer and also are more limited by budget.

If, like me, you put a ton of exalts into this build but still struggle to hit 400% aura effect because you dont want to pay multiple more mirrors for the 1 passive voices and the mirror shop items which add up to another 6-7 mirrors...then consider this less expensive but arguably more powerful tweak I came up with.

First off, 375% aura effect is all you need. Dont bother going for 400% because it is 100% NOT WORTH IT. (really, even 325-350% is fine but you'll be stuck with 88-89% resists which is still amazing but obviously not fantastic).

You can ease into this build more effetively by dropping necromancer on the tree and picking up trickster instead. The necromancer node is good and nets you about 30% dps increase from the cast speed from all the auras we have, but trickster actually comes out ahead when you factor in frenzy and power charges which will come very easily when mapping. You'll lose a bit of damage on bosses doing this, but most of the time, were mapping and the extra frenzy charges and 70% MORE regen will make budget builds feel much better.

Aside from the extra mapping damage the Trickster node ALSO can generate an extra 70% total ES regen.. which will make you nearly invincible to pretty much everything in the game (this build already has insane regen and massive mitigation so adding 70% MORE regen is just godmode+).

The caveat here, is that you'll have to cause DoT to an enemy once every 4 seconds to trigger Patient Reaper. We can do this by simply adding fire spell damage to an abyss jewel that goes in your stygian belt, or adding using it in place of a jewel slot on the tree. Our build should be critting fairly often, about 50% of the time it hits so we'll have no problem applying a fire DoT as long as we dont 1 shot the enemy which is a good problem to have.

The extra zoom from frenzy charges, damage from chaos, and 70% EXTRA regen should make mapping feel even better than it already does.

Just something I thought I'd share for people who are still trying to make aura stackers. - play with it yourself in PoB and you'll see how strong it looks. Just remember to add in frenzy/power charges and keep in mind you'll give up a bit of damage vs bosses.

As a final bonus, the reduced cast speed actually helps people if they're struggling with mana regen. I had this problem early on in the build when i was still working out my 1% RMR jewels and cutting it too close with reserved mana.

Just thought I'd share. Would love to hear people's thoughts on this tweak too.

I have a question. Why would one want 35% increased effect on the new 3% aura effect cluster jewels? you will land on 4% per point 4x5=20% (one is jewelsocket) while if you take replenishing prescense+ first among equal on a 6 node you get 6x2+3x3=22%
