Globally this build is an Aura Stacker that uses
- Guardian Ascendency for Tankiness
- Instrument of Zeal Jewels for DPS (Burst DPS is 19.61 cast rate).
- Spark, Fork and Cast Speed for Clear

As it is, the build can do all content :
- All Ubers fights
- Deep delve : currently 700+ (while going in darkness for loot)
- Deathless Wave 30 Simulacrum
- Eldritch or Searing mods
- All Uber Labs
- League Mechanics : Expedition, Harvest, Blight, Breach, Legion, Abyss, Metamorph ......
- Pretty Fast Mapper

Price :
the build can league start with Ball lightning and really starts to shine with around 20 divines. It scales very well with gear so it is also very satisfying to invest and to craft end game gear.

However, i'm playing it in standard with legacy items that are powerfull but not mandatory :
- Legacy Melding of the Flesh -> use Singularity instead of Nebulis (-3% DPS)
- Watcher's Eye with lighning damage leeched as Mana with Wrath -> can work without it
- Legacy Vaal Regalia -> works with regular Vaal Regalia, or ivory tower

PoB Numbers :
- Spark Hit DPS : 10.2m, 16 proj, 2 Fork
- Effective Hit Pool : 795k [Physical : 39k | Elemental : 147k | Chaos : 37k]
- Energy Shield : 6.2k, 475 Regen, 956 Leech
- Armour : 116k
- Block : 75% Attack, 75% Spell, (no Glancing Blow !)
- Movement speed : +214%

Pros : All content deathless Build
- Very very tanky Build : 700+ Delve for now with
- Pretty good DPS : ~35m Ball Lightning, 10.2m per hit Spark
- Can do all content without dying : Ubers, Wave 30 simulacrum, (all right for 5 Ways)
- Very good for Party Play : gives block, charges, Amour and Energy Shield to allies

Cons : Not a 1 click button Build
- Need to manually activate Coruscanting Elixir at beggining of every map
- To unleash full potential, you need to learn how to play with Fanaticism
- Need a flask generation setup for uber shaper or Simulacrum (replace 1 jewel and take away 1 flask)

In this setup, these jewels are basically better than Aspect of Carnage as they gives us :
- 50% more damage
- Perma Blessing Haste
- No Downside !

Explanations :
Fanaticism is a 4 second buff that grants spells you cast yourself 75% More cast speed, 75% Reduced Mana Cost and 75% Increased Area Of Effect.

So, how do we sustain it ? :
With the Jewel, you generate 1 Fanaticism charge per second if you attacked during this second. -> we use Leap Slam or Shield Charge to move and Smite for facetank boss fight.

Once you reach 4 Fanaticism charges, you gain the buff. -> as the mana cost is now very low so we can cast a Blessing Aura (I choose Haste but other options are viable).

Playing this way makes the Fanaticism sustain easy
- Perma Right-click Spark
- 1 time per second : use you Leap Slam or Smite

These jewels are really insane and seems to be underutilised by players.
I'm wondering if Reap would not be an even better option as it would also benefit from the 75 Inc AoE.
-> Feel free to share Any Idea :)

We use Anomalous Artic Armor for the "20% chance to Freeze Enemies for 350ms when hit"
It is an very strong boost for the group survavibilty as if scale properly it can counter GGG server's lag.

Main Skill:


Auras and Buffs:


Mobility (Fanaticism sustain)

Current Gear :

Main Hand: Nebulis is Best in Slot, Singularity is our best second choice

Shield: Aegis Aurora is best in slot (ES on block)

Helmet: Rare with +3 Spark proj
Crafting Upgrades : +2 lvl Aura (Essence), Chaos res (harvest), +2 lvl AOE (veiled)

Chest:
Option 1: High ES Vaal Regalia with res
Option 2: Ivory Tower

Boots:
Option 1: Rares with Elusive, Tailwind and Onslaught
Budget Option : VoidWalkers

Amulet: Ashes of the Stars - Annoint Charisma

Rings: Amethyst rare with Resists and ES
Crafting Upgrades : Curse with Conductivity (+ Elemental Weakness once you have the Chaos Innoculation Impossible Escape)

Belt:
Option 1: Mageblood
Budget Option: Rare with Flask duration > flask gained > Resist > ES > intel

In total we use 16 jewels

1 Corrupted rare with : % reservation efficiency (life and mana) + Corrupted Blood

8 Cluster Jewels:


7 Unique jewels:

1: Radiant Faith: +20k Armour and +230 ES to You and Party members

2: Bastion of Hope - Stun immunity + 10% Block Chance (Attack and Spell) to you and your parties members

Option 1: Self Play


Option 2: Party Play

Flasks are very powerfull and with only 5 passives investment we are able to sustain 4 flasks with 100% uptime!

Flask charges are not shared across flasks.
It means that when you gain 1 flask charge (killing monsters ....) , each of your flask are gaining 1 charge.

That's why we are using :
- The Traitor's keystone : 0.8 charge/sec (timeless jewel)
- Flask Mastery : 0.33 charge/sec
- Essence Extradition : 35% inc. flask charges gained
- Belt : 30% increased flask duration suffix

Then we use the "Reused at the end of this Flask's effect" with instilling orb for permanent activation.

Permanent Flask gives a lot of flexibility for defenses.
Without Mageblood, it gives us :
- 20k Armour
- 50% to All Elemental Resistances (good for melding of the flesh)
- 20% Less Elemental Damage taken
- 14% Movement Speed
- Ignite or Poison or Bleed Immunity
