what are some of the most op builds for this league?

Here's a list of some of the popular end-endgame(all bosses, 100% delirious maps, 1k delve+) viable builds in no particular order:

- coc ice nova assassin
- spellslinger vd necro
- vortex occultist
- cremation necro
- ed contagion trickster
- penance brand assassin
- fire conversion blade vortex assassin
- storm brand assassin
- spectre necro
- aura stacker ascendant/guardian (ek, spark, arc, penance brand, it doesn't really matter)
- stone or carrion golem elementalist
- iceshot/barrage deadeye
- toxic rain pathfinder
- ball lightning mines sabo

Things I personally wouldn't touch this league are totems, traps and pure melee skills. Everything else just scales better and gear really isn't an issue this league.

Some bow builds out there that are really insane strong, and they are not even stacking DEX. Not even a single cluster jewel. Just good old projectile count, frenzy charges, crit chance and crit multi.

IceShot/Barrage is a very scalable build. If you put enough exalts (or mirrors) into it you can get those kinds of numbers. It's also a very high skill cap build. There's a difference between builds that are OP for anyone at any skill level on a casual budget, vs. OP for really good players on a really high budget.

when I try to build it myself based on a realistic budget for myself, I can barely touch 5M DPS.

This depends both on the build, and on your definition of "realistic budget". For example, a poison BV Assassin can be built to do 5m, 10M or 20M dps more cheaply than you can build an Ice Shot/Barrage Deadeye with the same numbers. The Assassin will also be a bit more survivable for the average player. But the Deadeye will have more room to scale dps on a super high budget if that's what you want. (At least all this was true last league. I haven't played either this league...)
