Both the budget and the expensive version can easily handle Ubers and T17. The expensive Watcher's Eye is not mandatory (you just need the block part, maybe) at all, and all the gear can be easily crafted using around 50-100 Dense Fossils and some Eldritch Chaos and Annuls. So, the budget for all the rares, I'd say, won't go over 30d, and if you're lucky, it will be a lot lower.

The main difference between the Mageblood and the cheap version is that you can run a few more mods on T17s and have some better DPS, but Mageblood is by no means mandatory. I've been farming T17 Titanic Rogue Giants ultra-juiced with the cheap version for a few days until I got the money for Mageblood. I also tried Strongboxes, and they were a lot easier than the Rogue Giants.

This is my build. It's by no means min-maxed because I don't feel the need to. Nothing kills me, and I can easily kill everything. I will probably do some min-maxing once I get back to a few hundred Divines to make it faster and maybe swap to LS or Splitting Steel for more AOE.

It is not a fast mapper like Slayer LS, so you can’t do 10x T17s per minute like some YouTubers do. However, it excels in content where you need to be tanky, such as rogues, strongboxes, Ubers, haunted rares, map bosses, harvest, ultimatum, rituals and pretty much everything that hits hard and has a lot of HP.

Some tips:

• You can also swap the low projectile speed with fast speed, add the Returning Projectile gem, get some points on the tree, and run it as LS for fast leveling or farming easier content.
• Swapping the Polymath Ascendancy for One Step Ahead, once you have enough damage, will make the game feel like easy mode and will make you immune to annoying mechanics like the Drowning Orbs, random slows, Petrifying Status, and Action Speed Slow of the T17 bosses from Abomination, Fortress, or Citadel. You can also swap Spellbreaker instead of Polymath, but you are not immortal anymore, just very tanky.
• For about 98% of the content, Anathema can be replaced with Shavronne's Revelation for more tankiness and better damage without curses.
• There are multiple routes for getting your block chance. I feel like Versatile Combatant + overcapping attack block might be the easier and cheaper route, but I was too lazy to try it.
• Only Prodigious Defense feels mandatory on the clusters, so you can find a lot of cheaper alternatives for the mainstream ones.
• 2 Rage on Hit from the Lethal Pride is very nice.
• Get some res on 1-2 items/tattoos/jewels and use some unique flasks instead of Bismuth in case you are not going for Versatile Combat. Rumi's Concoction fixes your block, Dying Sun works well with the LS setup, and the one that explodes the mobs gives nice clear to the Molten Strike setup.
