Looking for strong SSF build

Hi, can anyone suggest a build with a following considerations
1) SSF viable with 3-4 hrs/day playtime, so no triple-influenced explody chests
2) Comfortable doing maven, all uncharted fights
3) Good survivability and recovery since I wont expect it to do trillions of damage and have to spend some time in these fights
4) No flask piano

I was mostly playing ED Contagion and it was all great, but with all these content scaling its damage started to fall off beyond fun into frustration at endgame, so I'm searching for something new to stick to. Maybe these is something under the radar which wont be nerfed next league.

I don't set goals like that in SSF. It's not good for my mental health. If a build is good, I go further in the game. If it's not, I don't. Had fun anyway.

Try new builds... see how far you can get. Much more fun than "this build is OP, you wont even need to try".

Currently playing a Slayer using Vaal Double Strike and Charan's Sword. Haven't had too much trouble yet. Haven't even needed to tweek him. Just the sword and the skill seem to be enough right now. I know I'll need to work on him to get into higher maps. No worries though. He can out-leech most damage sources.

For me it will be kind of a disappointment to invest time in character and realize its not there. With everyone is talking about power creep and such I thought maybe there is something out there. Basically I need ed with more damage, evasion/dodge is ok in terms of survivability, problem is I was killing maven influenced minotaur like 15 mins last league with its hp regen all the time.

Why completing end game quests is high requirments lol? I am not talking here about one-shotting shaper or farming t19 100% delirious maps

One of the strongest and easiest builds i ever played. Siege Ballista hierophant.

+ Low investment
+ Really strong and save (ballistas kill everything)
+ Done every boss previous league (except Atziri (phys reflect)

- Ballistas playstyle

Interesting how the build owner thinks this build isn't squishy when he has 4k life, a barely passable evasion rating, and literally nothing else. He doesn't even take acrobatics or anything. This character is literally dead once any rare hits you and evasion fails. And this build requires a metric ton of uniques since this is a dex stacking build.
its very difficult to get acceptable defenses and offenses without flasks. flasks are just so insanely powerful, so if you don't want to piano flasks i'd say you're playing the wrong game - damn near

until GGG finally change flasks, like how they mentioned...what...3 years ago now or something?
I played this Earthshatter build last league SSF, did everything except Maven and atziri.
But this league is somewhat scuffed compared to 3.13....
