Notes

Enemy lightning resistance is set to -115.
This is to simulate a merc with rather achievable rings and offsetting our Commander of Darkness ascendancies res along with our Purity of Elements.
Getting rid of both would mean massive damage increases, but also incredible gear complications. 
You'd need two Ghastly eyes with shock avoidance and a Stormshroud.
You'd also need resistance rolls on the large clusters. 
It's theoretically doable, but extremely expensive and I don't reccomend it.

The mana in this PoB is negative because of the merc provided Haste. 


The Overkill on the wand refers to the +1/+1 modifiers. Those are only there to beef up the Animated Guardian. You absolutely do not need these, but they are helpful if you can afford them. 


There's a number of optionals here. You could keep the Hyrri's from Low Budget and simply never replace your amulet. You could get attributes on your cluster and go Uul-Netols if you want even more DPS. This would mean your Merc carries the determination and Haste goes away. 
The world's your oyster.
Determination Corruption on Aegis Aurora would free up the option to take the reservation nodes again and run Arctic Armour, so we can afk better. Vaal Arctic Armour is also one of the funniest buttons in the game to press. 


Do note that Aegis Aurora inflates PoB's EHP calculations to the moon. We are NOT 857K EHP tanky. We're still reasonably squishy, do not get fooled by this inflated EHP number.
Our max hits are mediocre at best, don't tank things. It should be sufficient for most mapping content as we're crit immune and ailment immune, but don't push it too hard. You will fall over eventually. 


I cannot stress this enough this, this budget makes *no* sense. At all. Going past this makes even less sense.
Do not do this unless you're either very good at farming currency and you're willing to waste it, or you intend to plains Chains for the rest of the league and you understand that this build simply is not suited for bossing. Of any kind, really. 
You've been warned, it's up to you what you do with that.
