There are several utube videos of guys clearing level 30 simulucrum with this build. I seem to not have enough damage or defense to go past level 22.
Could be me though.

It's a pretty simple build actually. Basically, it focuses on defense instead of DPS. 30,000 armour. block cap. Determination + Defiance Banner + Tempest Shield + Molten Shell. Divine Flesh with 82% chaos res.

I'm planning to make my builds more defensive like this for 3.17.

*also he has pierce in skele links which helps a lot for high density mobs like deli.

Your build should have more than enough damage to full clear simulacrums.
What you're lacking is defenses. Simulacrums can be done with minimal dps, it's just about surviving them in the end.

Simulacrums require alot of investment into defensive layers to be cleared.

Looking at your current build, it has alot of damage but it's very squishy.
I had the same problems when I was trying to clear my first simulacrum this league. Alot of damage, but started getting oneshot after wave 20.

To solve the issue you need to invest into defensive layers to stop the oneshots. This requires sacrificing some damage, which should be fine considering your gear is very good.

These are my suggestions:
Cap your spell block: Do this by running divergent Bone Offering and Divergent Tempest Shield. Also pick Sanctuary and Mystic Bulwark. With a Rumis it should put you at or close to spell block cap.

If you're not running Necro Aegis you get to normal block cap aswell and can get the 5% block mastery from Sanctury.

To fit all auras you will be needing a small cluster with 50% reduced determination mana efficiency and 6% reduced efficiency on the small ones.
This should allow you to run:
- Zealotry
- Determination
- Skitterbots(Unbound Ailments)
- Tempest Shield

Personally, I run Grace aswell in my builds by running an Auls Uprising but not sure if it's worth it for you since I have a Skin of the Lords which boosts the living crap of my Determination and Grace in my builds.

My second suggestion is getting a "Frontline" small cluster jewel and an unset ring to give you 1 more socket. The idea is to link your Molten Shell to Increased duration making it last ~9 sec or something like that.

The Frontline gives Veterans Awareness which increases your max res by 10% and phys dmg mitigation by 20% during Molten Shell which is huge. The downside is that you take more damage when Molten Shell is down so you have to play around it a bit. That's why you want to scale duration. This makes you literally unkillable when Molten Shell is up but vulnerable outside of it.

I run this setup on my builds and got to wave30 on a testrun with a very low budget build:

Some other things you could look into are changing your amulet annoint and running an ES on block shield setup.

If I were you I would annoint Primsatic Skin for 2% max res instead of Ravenouz Horde since ravenouz horde is kinda bad.

Alot of people also like to run Aegis Aurora with Divine Shield which gives you a crapton of ES when you block. If you're block capped with that setup it provides a huge boost in survivability.

Thanks for the input, got to level 25 where i was just getting 1 shot. What i wasn't doing was using "Sniper's Mark" enough so that mat have been 1/2 the problem.

So after seeing the melding of the flesh jewel I was wondering about how viable Syndicate Operatives would be again with 4B Triad Grip and Doryani's Prototype. I saw that there were variations of this build using Barantie Preachers during scourge.

It would be easier to reach the -200 lightning resist cap, but I don't think Syndicate Operatives would be the top choice, because they can no longer shotgun.

Maybe slave drivers would make a return?

Yeah SD were my initial thought. Wouldn't need Lightning Penetration Support or Elemental curse. With some investment also think you could make the witch pretty tanky.

i had a slave driver spectre build before they got nerfed and the clear speed and damage was pretty good. got the build just into endgame content and the giant nerf hammer hit and i switched to the skelemage build. just need to finish getting levels now

Just coming in here again but my build on Ultimate_Daryl is performing extremely well.
Did depth 325 Aul, depth 427 archbishop with horrible area mods, uber elder deathless, all juiced elder/shaper guardians, lvl 83 mastermind deathless (first for me).
Not tried Mavern/Sirus/uber Atziri as yet.
BTW if anyone can improve on what i have please gimme a yell.
Thanks Kay for your valuable input.
Using Frost auto scout spectres.

nice.

i have no problems with uber atziri with my current gear but struggle in other areas. any T16 map is no problem save the odd one shot death from bosses. i know i need to make improvements but don't know what to change on mine if anyone could take a look it would be greatly appreciated. The_Canadian_Necro is mine
