POB Fork

50ex 3.56 Aura effect - Level 90
https://pastebin.com/0X1xXPcC

75ex 4.0 Aura effect - Level 95
https://pastebin.com/cD2D58jR

500ex High budget spark
https://pastebin.com/ffBc6qBF

120ex Budget Spark, 3.65 aura effect, upgrade clusters for 4.0, see upgrades section
https://pastebin.com/rV98Z59K

I recommend the immortal transition as soon as possible, try at level 96 using 2 Voices and when you have 4.0 aura effect. See the last section. The guide will show how to attain 4.0 aura effect.

Which Skill to use

Arc vs Spark vs Ethereal Knives

Vaal Arc - Has good clear, chains, great boss and single target DPS, Vaal arc is good for legions, strongboxes and bosses

Spark - It expensive, needs more Reduced mana reserved and helm enchant
Spark needs Malevolence aura and it gets costly to run it at budget
Spark has good clear, back and front, and good preloading of DPS in bosses and Very High DPS in long fights

Ethereal Knives - Great clear, expensive.
You need to use Watcher's eye with Physical to lightning conversion.
This watcher's eye costs 10 exalts




If you want to use EK, just remove arc and use this. The build is the same. No change to items.

Ball lightning - It gets complicated, you don't want that at budget.

Prism Guardian with CI

Free Aura




We acquire more than 75% reduced mana reserved from Tree, Items and Jewels.
And prism guardian provides 25% reduced mana for skills socketed inside.
Hence Skills inside prism guardian have 100% reduced mana reserved.
And since Prism has Blood Magic, it will reserve 0 life. Auras in Prism are free.

Ascendancy
Ascendancy

Assuming aura effect is 4

Don't forget to pick Guardian Ascendancy. This will give you 64% physical damage reduction. 16% for each 16 of the auras. Then multiply that by 4. Also regen and curse reduced on you.

Necromancer gives 8% cast speed for every aura. For 16 auras you get 64% more cast speed. Here 2 is multiplied by 4. Your aura effectiveness.

You need to stack 75% reduced reserved mana.
Prism guardian provides 25% reduced mana for gems socketed inside it

So this is total 100% reduced mana

But prism reserves life, so it reserves 0 life. And you have 1 life. You have more life than needed to reserve auras in prism guardian.

Hey, why both amulet and belt need open sufix to craft avian? it is correct or mistake?

I just verified, You can't craft Aspect of the avian on the amulet. It has to go on the belt.
Because amulet has Grants Clarity. And an item can't have two Grants skill mods.

Ok buy the Watcher's eye and then upgrade your cluster jewels to 6 passive clusters.

Then divergent ice/elements with enhance support.
And get boots with +1 level of socketed gems. Use this. This will double your dps.

This is for Spark with budget POB
https://pastebin.com/6NCHS7Ci

Using two voices, because its cheaper than Conqueror's efficiency 1%
Also helm enchant, any helm enchant work. Haste/Zealotry/Wrath/Hatred/Malevolence
And healthy mind 1%, its a trick to get more mana.

unlink purity of ice from enhance in this setup

To upgrade this, just upgrade all your cluster jewels to get 4x breakpoint.
