6k is when Delve stops scaling in difficulty :)
This is not a budget build. 2.5 Mir+ recommended to start for the sublime fire version.
PoB: https://pobb.in/uBxiI_3LkAGT
Budget PoB (Mageblood + ~250d): https://pobb.in/S4XJNe2uUmhz
Budget PoB is NOT TESTED but should be alright.
Pantheons are Lunaris + Garukhan, I forgot to mention those.
If you are mapping, I'd recomment to just play this on trickster, it has way more QoL and use smite instead of molten strike.
One thing I forgot to mention is why no suppress? - It's just not that useful in delve, most dangerous stuff are attacks, only 2 nodes are really caster monster focussed why can be dangerous, you just need to play a bit for those (ancient ritual & dust devils).

Setup by far not final, need to recraft basically everything but I'm poor af, will do a video talking about the build soon. Pretty similar to a normal int stack trickster setup, just on ele, as it is IMO better in delve due to ailment scaling.
Current build investment: probably around 4 mirrors

Same merc as in my merc setup video.
Atlas strat yoinked from @aer0planegaming781 sheet, since i am a mapping noob, looks to be roughly 10-15d/hr right now.
Forgot to talk about it, but stuff that i want to try for the merc:
Double aura with malev + clarity for more mana sustain, better soulrend support gems (return for better curse uptime)
Also don't use asenaths for double corrupted gloves, i think they brick the prolif.
PoB: https://pobb.in/fkJY-OT3rctd
Merc mainly has Malevolence + Temp chains
READ THE NOTES FOR SOME MORE INFO
Sorry for just the quick ramble, don't really have time to make fully fleshed out video, but I also don't think the 2 builds are too complicated.
By far not perfect gear, basically day 2 of the character. Missing quite some dam + health is low cause helm is very bad
lastepochtools.com/profile/Nerotox/character/Nerotox_Tankdude
Playstyle for this boss kinda awkward, since AA kinda makes u stutter lag every 2 seconds for its animation, dodging everything is very hard so ur relying on dodge a lot. With my current HP nearly every attack that hits me will oneshot me in this fight, so quite a bit of RNG involved.
Took roughly 2 hours of trying, cool fight in general, some mechanics i find a bit unnecessary (random spinning blades in front of him u can't rly see) and different spellqueue can make the second phase either very free or very hard from a positioning perspective.
Nearly max rolled relic drop with 1LP, pretty nice :)
Gear: lastepochtools.com/profile/Nerotox/character/Nerotox_Birb
Build roughly following @Jusedofus (cold bow version) shoutout to him.
Total Investment: 5+ Mirrors

Probably need 100% suppress to survive all waves, I couldn't do it when I tried on 93 without suppress (got to wave 13)
Can still get oneshot (as you can see in the video), but pretty unlikely
Cause a few ppl asked for a map showcase :)
Start went very smooth after the initial heisting, dmg is insane (21 mil atm without a source of wither and no double curse)
Use the Loadouts on the top right to easily select all the correct stuff per version.
There is some stuff in the notes as well if u wanna read through those.
Sorry for no endgame footage, I haven't played HoAG in like 6 years or so.
And excuse for yapping so long, didn't have time to really edit anything and covering basically 2 different full setups with progression takes quite some time.

Playstyle is very cringe, not recommended if u like smooth gameplay :).
PoB Hits set to 20, no clue how many actual hits per cast (somewhere between 10 and 40 I'd guess).
Gear not finished, but will be playing W OMEGALUL W tomorrow, so will pause the progress for a bit.
https://pobb.in/ViE4fTp_CXYl
Theroretical maximum dps with focus abuse 1.9B+.
Other example gearsets in the loadouts.
For Sim Farming (95% deathless) you need defiance (good roll) + progenesis.
Spectres are Perfect Dark Marionette. (autorespawn after 4 sec)
Kinda cool setup with life stacking + defiance and a shit ton of recoup (82%) for sustain. Lvl 100 would have 8k life :)
PoB: https://pobb.in/d9DKyTh4_lij
PoB can be found in the previous vids
Degens on this fight are OP and disable all recovery, that's why you see me dropping low in the first phase.
Currently Rank 2 on the Delve Ladder.
PoB: https://pobb.in/5ihWk06eOGzN
11 Hits is only in perfect conditions (and I'm not even sure if it's possible to get 11).
Also some casts seem to be clipping a bit due to the flickering mana costs, not much I can do about that. Buffed the flask ES recovery to recover more per server tick than the skill costs, so that helped a bit. No idea what the accurate DPS really is.
"Why not poison?" - Dotcap DPS is way too low.
1. What we lost
- Charms
- Kinetic Bolt Nerf
- Sniper's Mark Nerf
2. How to fix it?
Charms:
- Lost culling strike (can link to frostblink)
- Lost +2 max res - new ruby flask gives us 90 max res without any gear
- ES Leech - Was never needed since shield gives ES leech if your life is full (I tried it on 3.23 already without the leech charm)
- Stun immunity - We get it from tattoos now / from a mageblood flask
Kinetic Bolt nerf
- Spell dmg to attack dmg doesn't do anything for our build, we never used this for scaling so this is irrelevant
- Small Baseline nerf (15% or so)
Sniper's Mark Nerf:
- This one hurts. We go from 8 * 8 = 64 proj to 8 * 3 = 24 proj hits (with perfect positioning).
- Hurts especially on less curse effect waves - 160% curse effect - 66% less = 52,8% curse effect = 1 proj split only.
- Increased damage taken was only nerfed slightly, so the nerf doesn't affect clear much.
3. What's new?
- Wisp support - sadly seems pretty useless for now - Insanely taxing on your PC (i would assume), since you fire 2-3x the Kinetic Blasts.
- Tattoos are back - Especially for mageblood version - We can stack Mark effect again to hit 200% snipers mark effect for 4x splits.
- Trans KB - Useless for this build
How to offset the nerfs:
- Normal Gloves + Berserk for burst DPS
- 8-link gloves for Kinetic Bolt
- Better gameplay during waves = bait kosis to a wall by moving into a corner and he will jump to you - then kill him with Kinetic Blast during the wave already.
- Mageblood setup can use 10x mark effect tattoos to get to 200% curse effect for 4 splits.
For mana costs:
- Make sure you get an enlighten 4 to get your unreserved mana to be higher than 1 cast of KB to smooth out mana usage.
- Losing the flask affix shouldn't affect the build in any way.

Single Target looks meh in vid cause of reduced curse effect nuking Kinetic bolt shotgun from snipers mark, normally it's rly good even on a 4 link. 95% of bosses just die during the wave anyways.

If you don't know, Delve difficulty stops scaling at 6000, so this is end of the hardest content in the game.

If you struggle with the first clone phase, make sure to manually press the bottled faith again to get the regen and dodge his last attack by frost blinking after the boss hits around 90% HP or his life bar disappears.
