I tried the build without Armour (Grace+IR) and it's way to dangerous, even with Arctic Armour.

Fyn's level 100 so it doesn't matter.

Oh right. Thought you specced out of IR with atziri gloves? Regardless, how do you think bino would perform in this build with a ST version?

Too dangerous IMO. If you want to level, i suggest not to.

I haven't been able to read through the entire 50+ pages, so apologies if this has been asked already.

Has anyone tried to run this at very low gear levels?

Obviously, the dps potential here is absurd, but with the addition of Piscator's (which is relatively cheap) and mini Shav's, I was wondering how this would do as "start of league" build. Given that it is, at it's core, an aura based ele build, it should in theory work OK with mostly shitty gear.

Would be interested in hearing from somebody whose already attempted it. Otherwise, looks like that's what I'll be doing next few days. :)

Reporting back from the upgrades and mapping session!

Since people have been asking how this would work with low-end gear and levels, I'll just report my experience.

What I did leveling this was go for the regular Facebreaker + Meginord's Girdle / Infernal Blow-Melee Splash-Melee Phys-Multistrike-Faster Attacks-Blood Magic thing and followed this tree:

I got to 69 farming Docks and City of Sarn with IB + FB and made the swap then.

Took out all the life nodes, thanks to the respec points from quest + 1 Regret:

Then with the 19 leftover points I'm gone for all the basic keystones of the build: Unwavering, Vaal Pact, Ghost Reaver and Pain Attunement:

At that point, I had very low ES (around 4k), was using only 4 auras (Wrath, Anger, Grace and Discipline, leveling the other in off hand) and a DPS that only allowed me to do Piety or Library runs, but that's enough to get you to around 75/78 to grab the missing mana reservation nodes and start running 6 auras at 90 points:

From then, I started doing 70s, 71s and 72s without much effort, even tho my gear was pretty bad at that moment:

Spoiler

I had to play very carefully but the XP was coming in nicely, then I managed to make a few more levels, grab aura effect nodes, grab more power charges and upgrade my gear substantially, to this point:

Spoiler

I still wear that shitty belt cause I'm starved for those 44 fire res and would drop to 35% with an Auxium.

Jewelry and Belt could sure use an upgrade, but I'm left broke after buying 1st gen Rainbows with high mana, Piscator's and the shield but my accessories are the next candidates for an upgrade.

Missing WED on two pieces I find my DPS high enough to one-shot packs in lvl 72 maps (sadly I have no higher level ones since I never really mapped) and destroy bosses with a crit volley of Barrage or two at most.

My current stats are:

13.2k DPS on Power Syphon (full charges, no flask)
19.9k on 4L Barrage (full charges, no flask)
6.2k ES
10k armor
266 mana regen (enough for lvl 18 AA and 100 mana Power Syphon @ 2.9 APS)

The tooltip on Power Syphon could be a lot higher, but I prefer to have the Increased Crit Chance gem, cause it makes the dps more consistent, since I don't have many crit nodes the difference is very noticeable, putting me from 57% chance to crit, to 74% with full charges.

The build is very solid but you need to give priority to the right things: survivability over DPS, in jewelry look for res, ES, Mana Regen and Mana in that order, WED and flat phys are sure nice, but not needed to stay alive and more of a luxury than a necessity, while AA and sustaining PS spam is mandatory for the build to work.
Also, it's important to nore that when you're dead your DPS is 0 so staying alive makes you clear a bit slower but gives you a lot less XP penalty for deaths, which ends up being faster XP!

Hope this helps anyone willing to spend the cash to try the build and encouraging people to do it even with mediocre gear, because it works well anyway!
