{3.25}Aspect's Soulrend Aurastacker (3.26 Soulrend Buff Hype!) // Infinite EHP // All Content ✔

OHHHHHHHHH BOY LET ME TELL YOU, EXILE!

Soulrend just got a massive buff:
Patch note -|

"

Now deals 180.9–3149.4 base chaos damage per second at gem levels 1–20 (up from 180.8–2642.5).

That’s a 19.2% increase at level 20!

But here’s where things get spicy:
Soulrend scales insanely hard with gem levels. This build is all about cranking Soulrend’s gem level as high as possible—think level 30+ by the endgame. Every extra level multiplies your damage and clearspeed.

Now Im not sure what that means for the scaling but im only assuming positive things.

There are new uniques that were added ill keep this posted on the ones ive tried. I know the boots with arcane surge that was shown will be a very nice addon. So we can try to fit that in.




Lets talk about the mercanaries! This is insane! It means we can throw on the
The Hand of Phrecia and a soul link or protective link.... Not to mention we are aura stacking so they will be getting buffs that will be making them immortal. The mercanaries are an insane add for and aura builds.

To set this build up you wont need much money!

Helmet- ES/Res/Helm 30c-70c

Wand - Buy a +1 all chaoswand with spell damage(implicit) and at least 25% chaos damage overtime multiplier. 30c

Shield - Aegis aurora OR +1 chaos and high ES shield.

Amulet - Dragonfangs flight OR +1 chaos skill gems + damage over time multiplier + ES

Boots - 150 ES boots with movement speed and some resistances

Ring 1 - curse enemies with despair on hit + whatever else you can get 20c - 1 divine

Ring 2 - iolite ring with essence of envy craft aim for similar stats shown in the guide

Gloves - 150+ ES gloves with resistance life regen or attributes

Chestpiece - This will be your most expensive item early because youll need it to be 6L. You can also drop efficacy or cruelty if you have a 5L. I'd recommend getting incandescent heart that has +2. (usually 6-10 div)

Belt - A belt that covers your resistances is a good cheap option here. If you can also get armor then that will save you in the future.

Pros And Cons

You will switch in your purities once you get a helmet with this as well as enlightened.



You will also need to get at least 1 small cluster of mana reservation with at least 25% increased effect.

You will need charisma anointed on your amulet.

After that you will need to link an enlightened with clarity purity of fire and purity of lightning.

- You will need to get a vaal discipline. This is an extremely strong gem.
- Brine king and Garukhan for immunity to freeze/maim for easier freedom of movement.
- Withering step is your best way of applying wither. Wither is your way to kill bosses. Outside of blowing things up around bosses.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO SAVE POINTS LATER ON.
- Jewels are an insane way to get a power boost.
You can get 14% multiplier and 30% increased damage. Aswell as immunity to corrupted blood immunity to hinder and a bunch of other fancy stuff that gives this build the freedom of movement it deserves.
With that being said there are passives on the skill tree that require you to go like 9 or so out of your way to get 15ish% damage over time multiplier. This is not worth it since we can get that in 1 jewel which is usually only 3ish points away from out tree.

Passives and clusters that you will begin trading out for jewel sockets once you get the money for decent jewels.

Heart of darkness
Atrophy
Growth and Decay

When you become an aura stacker you will need the points from these trees. Before mapping id recommend having all 3 of these. Before aura-stacking id recommend having the second 2.

-If you lose regen you still have leech from soul-rend's passive. Getting #% of leech is instant is a good way to counter reduced recovery but I Always avoid if possible.

Put withering step and flame dash in slots you have left over

3 ★★★ = Must have
1 ★ = Can do without

Flasks are very important for survivability

-
This is for quality of life. You can change this one out with whatever you want or feel like you are missing.

-
This flask is extremely good with our aegis aurora. If you have max block replace this with another flask such as bottled faith.

-
This is a major increase in our armor which also buffs our aegis recover amount by a big chunk

3 ★★★ = Must have
1 ★ = Can do without

- Crown of the inward Eye ★★★-



This item is extremely good. With the amount of ES and mana we end up stacking. It really makes this a must equip item.

- Incandescent heart ★★-



This item is extremely strong for mid game - early late game. We are pairing this with CI. Making us take 25% less elemental damage from hits. If we have 75% max res this item basically gives us 6.25% maximum res on elemental. This item has less effect the more max res you have. So once you get around 80% max res you'll technically have 85% max res. (For hits not aoe damage)

YOU WILL NEED A +2 or +4 CORRUPT for major damage increase. This is very crucial and one of the major spends before you get to late game. GEM LEVELS ARE VERY IMPORTANT!!

- Aegis Aurora ★★★ -



Everyone knows Aegis Aurora is legendary for a reason. Slap this shield on, and suddenly cold damage just bounces right off you. every time you block, you instantly recharge your energy shield... its like having a personal medic at your side in every fight.

You could swap it out for a fancy chaos shield with more ES or damage, but be warned: the moment you do, youll feel the difference. With Aegis Aurora, you’re a fortress. Without it... you’re a lot more exposed to getting overwhelmed. Once youve played with it, its hard to go back!

- Soulrend Dragonfang ★★★ -



This item is just a perfect item for this build. +3 levels to soulrend is such a big boost of damage. Putting charisma on this can give you 26% mana reservation efficiency. You can also try for one of the fancy simplex amulets

- Watchers Eye ★★★ -



These are your ideal stats for your watchers eye.

- Any armor increase
- Any block chance
- Any source of Damage over time multiplier is very nice to have.
- Max resistances are good
- Immunity to bleed and spell leech feels nice
- Regen from discipline or vitality.

This build cannot use headhunter. However its brother mageblood is extremely strong. Will give you the zoomies and allows you to sacrifice some of our tankiness for more damage.

- Weapon -



This is a cheap version of our end game wand. Use a +1 wand with chaos multi and minimum 60% increased damage. We use both spell damage and chaos damage for our damage over time. So it shouldn't be to hard to find.



Ideally you'll want these to be at their max.


How do I craft this myself?



- Ring -



You'll need a curse on hit despair ring so your explode works.

SOULREND AOE CAN KILL BEFORE SOULREND CAN HIT MEANING YOUR EXPLODE WONT WORK ON EXTREMELY WEAK ENEMIES OR YOU NEED MORE PROJECTILE SPEED.



Use envy essences on an iolite ring for a good damage ring.

- Belt -



Our belt needs to have armor on it. On top of that getting a lot of energy shield is required for the belt slot. This can be the difference of 1000~ energy shield.

- Boots -



Just typical High ES + res + movement speed boots. Getting regen on them is a good stat to have as well.

- Gloves -



We are aiming for as high ES as we can get. Fitting some attributes in there is a good side stat to have.

- Chestpiece -




This is for late game after you get done using incandescent. (I do not recommend this over +4 incandescent heart) Ideally youll want to corrupt this too for +2.


This is what youll want to use if you are trying to invest a lot of money into the build. 500+ ES

After this you'll want to lock it and try to get +2.

Key stats-
450+ ES
+1 Gems
#% intelligence.
% increased effect of auras. This would be enough to get our purity of fire/lightning extra max res.

Ultimatum is all I've been playing this league. I'm able to get to round 10 with all but 2 notables on the atlas tree nearly everytime. Currently immune to most of the modifiers.
farming tips:


Expedition is what this build was originally built for. This build can do ALL modifiers outside of immune to chaos.



Bossing is a lot easier because of how tanky you are. It might take a second to kill bosses but we can tank most of their attacks and go back to full hp right afterwards.


Delve the amount of pack clear this build has as well as the tankiness gives this build a good feel in delve.


Wildwoods is easy to run through and still be able to kill and survive most of the creatures it juices in mapping. You dont really feel a difference outside of the loot that is dropped.

Breach is a good farming strategy. With GMP your soulrend will kill half of one side instantly.

Harvest is easy to farm because of the dense pack size. I haven't fully farmed this mechanic yet so I'm not sure how it deals with late game harvest farming but I would assume it wouldn't be difficult.

The 3 must haves are
-Determination
-Discipline
-Tempest Shield

The other ones are depending on how much mana reservation you have and what you need at the time.

The end goal is to be able to get all of these auras up and running. Getting each piece takes time so play around and see what auras best match how you play. If you would prefer to kill things and risk getting overwhelmed then switch out your auras. Keep an offhand on you to always level up the auras you will be using in the future. This saves you a pretty penny come late game.

Why am I dying?
