Level 98 Crit Splitting Steel Champion^3.23

Notes

how it works: 
splitting steel throws a single projectile that explodes and splits on impact or after reaching max distance. with nimis all of the projectiles will rerun to you and expllode on top of you again. 
by standing on top of tanky enemies and spammin ss the returning projectiles wiill have a  shotgun effect wich skyrockets single target damage (this is not refleccted in the damage number shown in pob). 
the investment into aoe in this build makes shotgunning easier and improves map clear. # impales and impale effect arer also huge damage gains. 
build easily blows up ubers. investment into bleed is for explosions with charm memes and some extra defense through blind and maim. 
bleeed is good for mapping but can be dropped if you want moar dps. main weaknesses for the build is range and low life pool. you wont be offscreening mobs like TS. 
nimis aalso randomises projectile direction wivh can make it annoying to kill mobs in front of you. These weaknesses are mitigated with high armmmour, evasion, ailment immunnty, leech and high regen in addition to 
enemy explode and ridiculous attack speed. 
spell supresison is overcapped for ailment avoidance with ancestral jewel. 

good farming strats: bossing and literally every mechanic except for legion and sanctum. Delirum and ultimatum degen pools can kill you sometimes. sirus and maven can be annoying because you have to stand on top of them to do damage.
bricked map mods: phys reflect and cannot leech. 

Alternative gearing: 
More damage: Drop bleed/auras/ life and get four medium clusters with eye to eye and repeater. Perseverance might be more damage than mageblood but requires new rare gear. 
Headsman or bane of legends forbidden jewels. More crit multi investment on tree anoints. impales last additional hit on all charms. 
Tankier: drop offensive affixes on gloves/helmet/body armour for life regen. Granite flask instead of silver and get onslaught somewhere else. Cap chaos res on gear and potentially replace progenesis with life flask. 
Lethe shade and +maxres on tree (wayy too many travel points, not recomended). flask with crafted regen 3% life suffix. 

Upgrades: 
Better rolls on beltimber blade. GG tailoring and tempering enchants (>10 life magnitudes and %increased speed magnitudes). GG corrupts on mageblood. bleed immunity and useful aura effect corrupt on nimis.
3mod watchers eye. TWWT with +to crit chance at max power charge and impales last 1 additional hit AND 1 or 2 other useful mods. Ralakesh with +1 to socketed and a second useful implicit.
level 4 enlighten + ~12% increased reservation efficiency will allow you to use flesh and stone aura for ~%10 more damage. best source of this is a TWWT. 

body armor upgrade: roll suffixes with eldritch chaos and eldritch annuls + benchcraft til youre satisfied. assure the correct eldritch guy is dominant so you dont brick prefixes!! best mods are chaos res life regen and spell supression.
alterntively craft prefixex canot change and harvest reforge chaos-guaranteed chaos res, life-guaranteed regen, physical-guaranteed additional phys dmg reduction. finish with benchcraft and exalt slam if needed. if suffixes fill up wiht something useless on reforge-use eldritch annull, (again make sure correct guy is dominant).
if you have big balls - yolo annul to try and hit the hybrid life prefix. then you can benchcraft phys taken  as or ailment avoidance. 

ring upgrade (expensive): spam crit multi essence til you hit chaos res or attack speed + open suffix. if you got chaos res lock suffixes and harvest reforge speed. if you get cast speed anull and retry.
go back to essence spam if annul missed. if the reforge hit attack speed you won. if you got attack speed with essence mod lock suffix reforge chaos. if tier to low annul try again and likely restart with essences. 
if prefixes fill up with garbage you guessed it yolo annul and resume essence spam on fail. 
if youve done the process correct your ring looks like this: at least one open prefix and suffixes are crit multi attack speed chaos res. 
next step is lock suffixes harvest reforge physical. if you hit higch enough tier of added physical damage you won. if not dust off your annuls and go agane. 
if you won, lock suffixes and aisling slam. if aisling removed added phys. go back to reforge phys step. if metamod removed benchcraft mana and unveil + to maximum life (good odds but can miss if unlucky i think).  
finish with crafted -7 mana cost. 
expensive process but you likely wont find a ring like this on trade for any reasonable price.
