I've been looking at different builds on YT and moba, and not finding anything that isnt extremely expensive and overly complex. Kinda wan't a spark/coc comet combo that works on oracle, really dont feel like leveling a BM at this point in the season. I have ~2k divs to play around with. Can grab another 500-1000 div in a day or two, it that helps.
Builds I've played have all been meele, so looking for something ranged and just overpowered.
Thanks.
Here's mine, built on about 150div and clears all content.

I've pretty much solved my mana issues. I basically go to zero on bosses due to multiple CoC procs right away and it takes 1-2seconds before I can get my entangle casts going again. I think if I just get a little more mana or mana Regen(on rings, probably) I'll be good.
A piece of advice. Poe2.ninja is your best friend, not YT or moba.
Look up nicktew’s oracle coc comet build, it’s definitely one of the more affordable options if you go alpha’s howl instead of +4 vertex with spirit amulet
Check out Iva Markova for endgame CoC druid stuff without entangle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRI0a0TNcCo
Her loop auto CoC is pretty amazing and she has a budget version for like 200-500 divine. But I would check out travics for the basics of that stuff.
I started off with Nicktews build, but tranfered into Travics build (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJgBTp4QvLo&t=1142s) Which gets you into CoC and simplifies Nicktews build. He explains everything. Then once you get what is going on, you can transfer into something more like what Iva is doing.
With Travic's build, you pretty much spam Ele Weakness, It covers the whole screen, it triggers doedres to kill everything and proc CoC. You just scale Curse Area affect. You can get this going for a few hundred div easy and clear uber arbiter without issues on travics build.
I lately got myself a +4 all spells helm and started transfering away from winscream boots and i've been getting huge damage boosts.
Here's my build from this league... pretty fun. Orb of Storms and Spark for packs and Thunderstorm more damage... One manual cast of Comet is enough to oneshot bosses

Here’s mine if you wanted ideas. Might be above your budget but it absolutely slaps. 1.1m comet dmg pre trinity buffs. Can easily carry 6 man maxed temples.
You could plug and play spark as your main spell instead of ele weakness. Although I highly recommend Ele weakness over spark.

I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?
I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
