I still need to get all my auras 21/20 and +2 vaal on boots, working on it.

I did a little change in the tree. I'm lvl 95 and i took the cluster Alchemist for the flask effect and duration. I think its a little quality of life, imo. Plus, the effect makes your quicksilver flask really faster. Still have 8k ES.

I was thinking maybe a belt shaped with Mvts speed while flask is active or chance to not consume charges. I only die when i forget the active the anti-chaos flask lol.

Thumbs up!

looks like a pretty solid build :) it's nice to see other aurabot's doing different things and writing guides, this is a good build for a fair speed carry, but if you're doing ridiculous speeds this will struggle without a movement skill, without too much investment it's not too difficult to hit over 200% movement speed or even 300% with rampage. there are a few things with this i cant say i fully agree with, like the use of purity of elements, there are far more useful things you can take than this and it provides no benefit to the party besides attack speed(minimal) and for a huge cost, res can be picked up elsewhere.

Envy is not that useful either as not many builds scale it and there are better options to take in your weapon slot, such as dreadbeak (means no silver flask is required) or corona solaris (no stibnite needed) which allows more consistent buffs/debuffs than using flasks for them, this also allow syou to free flask slots for sapphire and topaz flasks, allowing you to remove purity of elements (you're a flask based build anyway, no flasks = dead). this free's up a lot of reserve to be able to drop enlighten's out of the build and also to run aura curses which boost survivability and party damage significantly depending on your curses (TC, enfeeble, Ele weak as eg)

as a movement option, scion gets super easy access to phase run since they take frenzy charges from the carry, you dont want to be slower than the carry because you need to be able to catch up asap after you've stopped to loot something, ideally you want to be faster than the carry so you are limited by his speed and not your own, and to be able to catch up immediately even if they are running away from you.this might be fine for most carries but you might get the odd one that it doesn't work for, but its better to build for flexibility rather than not be able to adjust.

Overall if you're planning to strike a balance between offense and defense, curses help a lot and arnt that difficult to fit in, it's possible to run 11 auras, 2 curse auras, and spider aspect which does a lot more for the party than using purity of elements, envy, and to some degree, determination, as generally most people will be res capped without you, not scale chaos damage, and dont need the extra armor.

Heyo, thanks for the deteailed post.
I partly agree with your ideas, I'm aware that Purity of elements is not that great for most characters and could be replaced with something else. On the other side, many carries with full MF gear (double Pariah) have very low amount of resistances if they do not have really good jewels, being able to cap them even in elemental weakness maps is still pretty good in my opinion (I see very often characters without curse-removal flasks).
I've played a bit with curses, every time I try to invest into them I feel like I'm wasting my time. I know they are a bit underrated and still strong, even against bosses, I know that having a Temporal Chains or something else is probably better than a Determination or a Purity of Elements for most istances; the main problem is that auras directly affects players, no matter what the monsters and the players are doing (and auras cover more than a screen, so you don't really have to stand next to the carry), while curses are 100% reliant on monsters. With this I mean that you have to stand really close to monsters to be able to debuff them (without investing too many points into curses, the AOE of a generic Blasphemy is about half a screen); with the currenct meta and the current carries (99% of those are KB wanders or TS windrippers) mobs do not really have any chance to even get that close to the players (except some red beasts or very tanky encounters).
Overall I think it's very debatable which options is stronger, since it mostly depends on the context.

The damage that Envy provides is very good anyway, even if not many build scale it actively. Is it really needed? No, but any good carry doesn't actually need any of the offensive auras you provide, they should have enough damage by themselves. This doesn't change the fact that as far as I'm concerned it's very noticeable and appreciated from the carry point of view.

About mobility, I've been playing with Phase Run a bit when I got the -Mana cost Watcher's Eye, but I had just no more room to fit it in the final setup. I'm sure it's a great option if you use a different setup and free up some sockets. I though about sacrificing Vaal Discipline, so it can benefit from Increased Duration (as long as the base cost is less than 12, you can have it for free with the Watcher's and an Elreon ring).
Anyway, as I said in other istances, you never really fell behind while clearing maps (except for very linear layout, like strand, where shield charge users are just way too fast). You fell behind only when out of flask charges or when the carry is backtracking, 'cause he doesn't have to stop, since there are no more monsters that the has to attack.
