POE Betrayal Ascendant Aura Support Starter Build - Cheap, Tankly, Endgame
This build is based on Aura Support.
Forget the power of loot-filter and poe.trade, for so much has been forgotten, never to be relearned.
Forget the promise of Atlas-progress and Challenge League Rewards, for in the grim dark month's ahead there is only the grind.
There is no peace amongst the price-fixer, only an eternity of 820-spamming and carnage

Leveling
As this Build is specifically made to start a League and level with Friends.
The Skilltree progression outlines the basic Progression you would follow. Keep in mind. Depending on your personal Situation you should adapt it.
Ascendancy Points:
- 2 Points: Since we cant reach anything significant I suggest getting the 2 Stat Notables.
- 4 Points: Now its either Guardian or Necromancer.
- 6 Points: claim the other Soul
- 8 Points: Enable the Guardian Location for some nice Defense and Lifereg.
Here are a few Items you might consider:
- Lvl 04 - The Vigil socket Vigilant Strike and grant your Allies up to 26s Fortify.
- Lvl 12 - Victario's Flight Use while leveling, later your Animate Guardian can wear 'em.
- Lvl 16 - Shaper's Seed Very nice during Leveling and in Labyrinth.
- Lvl 17 - Aurumvorax fixes your Resist's till Endgame.
- Lvl 17 - Solaris Lorica get one around Lvl 31. Once you ascended reserve an Aura with Bloodmagic Supportgem and Beef up your Allies with tons of Armour. Be prepared to skill Zeloth's Oath here and run Disciplin. Your ES is now your efficient healthpool and you need to keep your Resistances maxed!
- Lvl 52 - Victario's Influence as soon as you can, aquire a decent rolled one and dress up.
Fix your Chaos Resistance BEFOR!. Rearange your reservations in such a ways, that you do not reserve more then ~50% HP. If need be sacrifice the least popular Dmg Aura.
- Lvl 68 - Prism Guardian higher Level and higher priority then Alpha's Howl. Switch Haste, Grace and Determination in.
- Lvl 64 - Alpha's Howl Enables one additional Aura, have Discipline and Vitality here.
- In the long run you want one that has the Mana-reduction Enchant for one of your Shield's Auras.
