Budget/3p/1p: https://pobb.in/toDybQ8CmM86
Crit: Still Updating these... Use the older versions for now in the Archive variant.

3.28 Changes

Grafts removed.. basically just lost around 30-40% damage. We can get some back in other places but overall Big DPS loss. Top end setups should still be doing 5 to 10B DPS.
Reliquarian seems fun, might be good!
New Shield Affix for Armour Applies to ele dmg.
New Shrine Belt could be OP!
Imbued Supports provide some nice utility and damage.

How it Works

TLDR

Replica Dreamfeather scales our % attack damage.
use Wrath and Smite to get flat damage. This is why we dont bother with phys>elemental conversion or matching skill damage types. i.e molten strike is a fire skill but we only scale lightning.
We will get most of our armour by converting evasion rating to armour with Iron Reflexes. Due to the way this works, flat evasion is more valuable than flat armour.
Use flasks and auras like Determination and Grace to get % More Armour and Evasion.
Since we are using lots of auras we will get lots of increased effect of non-curse auras to scale our armour, flat lightning damage and energy shield!
