I did HOP/spider guardian last league

It would be pretty okay for surviving infinite ultimatum waves.
Clears all map content except -res and crit+block with 0 effort

On average budget (15-20 ex) I reached 8k es/80k armour/max block and spell block, tel:76/81/76/10076/81/76/100[/URL] res

It was not ultrafast clear. Dps was maybe 5-6 million so it does not one-shot bosses by any means
I did not have haste or curses, no timeless jewel, no enchants or good item corruption and most gem were 20/20. Not getting vulnerability corrupt gloves was mistake

It would be better this league than last league but unique synth ring “herald of X lower mana reservation” modifier losing mana tag really hurts build

HOA is better than HOP for clear. He doesn't care about bossing. Build can be accomplished on a relatively low budget already at this point in the league. Enfeeble shaper's touch (cheap) and vuln ring (cheap) for dual curse. Ring mod "hurts" but honestly not a big deal. I'm not even running charisma and can fit discipline, determination, HOA 6link (mana reservation is easy to manipulate and you only lose a tiny bit of dmg) and clarity (bc watcher's eye). Run a conq efficiency if you really need to, easy to fit in while fixing mana reservation issues.

Oh and my circle of anguish isn't even 20%

Build has been nerfed since Metamorph league and is still quite good.

Ring nerf means I lose pride aura and possibly dread banner if I want my std character to keep precision and clarity without pathing to the herald reservation node. I know it is std but I like improving characters over time and do not have enough time to max a character in one league

It is big blow to the expensive version of build with +2 amulet but not to regular build with no damage auras

Plenty of options still, especially for standard with legacy gear.

You running auls?

Can easily map, simulacrums and boss.

With investment can easily do 100% deli t14+ with some juice.

No
I crafted +1 phys/+1 int/pride mana reservation
I think the reservation also lost fertile catalyst support so unless they revert that change (it was not in patch notes. So I do not know if this is intended) I may lose an aura
