Aether Albrecht’s Aether Ray Warlock
I decided to try Clairvoyant AAR Warlock. For sustain the build uses Sigil of Consumption and Conduit that changes it to aether and also Pulsing Shard for ADCtH to AAR. I also tried Fleshwarped Tome for more damage on AAR and damage reduction on Sigil of Consumption but Pulsing Shard has no competition if you are playing higher SR. Build also uses for defense Maiven’s Sphere for damage absorption and also Scales converted to mostly to aether for healing. Rattosh, Turtle and Dryad from devos are also useful defensively. For AAR tanking is important and this build is able to do it. It also uses Mirror of Ereoctes and Nullfication when needed. Build also uses Doom Bolt mostly converted to aether for additional damage. Even though it interrupts AAR it is a DPS boost. And you still leech due to Sigil of Consumption and Scales even if AAR is on pause. Total aether RR is up to -88 %. Build also uses crit damage to AAR - total is up to 87 % crit damage. Arcanist allows us to do spirit dump and significant amount of damage comes from this. Build also has nice racial damage to undead, chtonics and aetherials. This build can clear SR 80-81 fine and if played well even SR 90 most of the time.

This build is just a template. Customize it to your own liking. Crafting bonuses should be ideally to armor and stun resistance. Fleshwarped Tome is fine until SR 85. Best with the same affixes as Pulsing Shard.
AAR with passive buffs + Blood of Dreeg
SR
I finished SR 80-81 5 out of 5 times. Don’t do stupid things and you will be fine.
In SR 85-86 I finished 4 out of 5 times within the timer. If you die once you will still make it within the timer. Petrify groups with rune skill and use mirror and nullification proactively. Reaper is slower to kill.
In SR 90 I finished 3 out of 5 times within the timer. If you die you will be on edge with the timer. Build is a little squishier here. Avoid ground damage. You have petrify on rune skill so use it in groups. You can tank bosses most of the time. Use mirror and nullification proactively. No boss is problematic.
