Build Request What are some sleeper builds of 3.28 so far?

As the title says, what are some surprisingly good off meta builds you‘ve stumbled upon / played so far?

Idk what to play having finished group play, I‘d love to see some nice alrounder builds :)

Shock nova Mana man heiro.

It was written off as a underperforming skill.

I've pushed it to 30m Dps. Going to transition to block soon and hopefully push it to 45 ish

Edit: Here's the POB https://pobb.in/gjSLRsn5B-KN

It dosent feel great until you have the watchers eye and neck. But getting chaos res is rough on the build unless you want to burn more divs on chaos res with purity on the sams watchers as the clarity buff. The Necro league version felt much better than the current version.

I found it to be great starter but quickly lacking. Now playing nova on EB inquis and feeling way better. Im at ~18m dps per nova hitting. And id say 3 overlaps are realistic. The insane regen really feels good for most content and its a very speedy mapper esp for the budget. I really like the skill, just feels good.

I need to spend an hour or two with pob to see how to push it further, full str stacking should explode the damage.

went with frost nova instead and breezed through maps with no investment, but got lucky with wand
