[2.6] CI HoWA ST - Uber / Shaper / Guardians Down - Budget Friendly?

I could really use some advice with my gear. I'm kind of at a loss as to what would be the best thing to replace. I'm broke at the moment, i have about 3 to 4 exalts worth of currency. The rings, belts, and amulets that im seeing in a lot of post here are difficult to find on PoE.trade. I have around 46k tooltip dps with 7 frenzy charges. Is that acceptable damage at my level? Should I replace Astramentis with a rare amulet?

I've also managed to 6 link my chest piece with 20 fuses... lucky me.

That gear is crap,i'd vendor all of it and start from scratch.

Has anyone tried running discipline HOT and wrath with a level 4 empower? Is it possible without any aura nodes?

You mean enlighten. That would be 96% mana reserved you would have 40/1000 free mana.
With 16% reduced mana reservation from tree near ci and vaal pact you would have 82% mana reserved 180/1000 free mana.
Don't know if HoT is worth 4 points thouhh.

What should I change/upgrade next?

I don't understand why Accuracy becomes unnecessary above lvl 90... the graphs I found to understand Accuracy (first build that cared about it for me) only show accuracy/hit in relation to enemy evasion... lvl doesn't seem to factor in... is that just something that isn't mentioned, or is it a matter of hitting so hard and so fast (and so many times) that missing more often no longer matters

For now, I paid the premium for accuracy... managed 6500ES, 22k GMP hideout dps with a 5L, res capped, 1000 int, and 500 accuracy at level 70/78 and growing... for 8ex or so (bought all the uniques mentioned except Dying Sun)

Alright, time for me to review this build after playing it for awhile this league and taking down all content except for Uber Atziri since I don't really care too at this point in the league.

This is my gear:


My current tool-tip DPS sitting in HO is at 45k with GMP + golem + auras. I'm also sitting at 8.2k ES I believe. It is worth mentioning I did spec into mathil's skill tree near the end (here).

My current offense screenshot in case anyone is wondering:


Also to note I'm level 90 and I haven't spec'd into one of the frenzy charge nodes yet, and I only have 2 jewel slots with fairly average ATK speed jewels (nothing over 40c a piece I would say they roughly add 1k - 2k DPS each)

I think this build is super fun to play and extremely strong right now. I was mainly making this post just to give people some benchmarks with their builds. I know my gear has a lot of upgrade potential especially with my helm and prismatic ring. I went over to Mathil's tree since I got more energy shield and more DPS while also being closer to good energy shield nodes to take late game. I did not spec into his flask nodes yet either.

anyone can give me hints what i should upgrade next? i was lucky to get some nice card and got around 10 ex to spend now

I'm seeing 7 Jewel for your build. With the current build display there is 5 socket for jewel.

Where did you get the other 2 jewel slot in the three?

Thanks in advance

I need some input on what my next upgrade would be.

Lvl 92:
Capped res (not capped ele weakness)
10,1k ES
84% chance to hit (yes its a bit low i know...i assume this is my biggest area of improvement?!)
52,5k HO dps with golem+wrath with GMP!
112,3k fully buffed (no flask) with GMP!
145,4k fully buffed with flask with GMP!
90,6k HO dps with golem+wrath with slower projectiles!
204,2k fully buffed (no flask) with slower projectiles!
248,7k fully buffed with flask with slower projectiles!

I think what i need to do next is improve my accuracy and get a block% HOWA?
Or what is this thing about lvl90+ dont need so good accuracy? Dont know anything about that lol...
