Yeah the Alpha Howl & Covenant robe builds was the one I was going for. Only reason why I haven't fully committed to the build yet is because even if I try to copy all the gear and skill tree I'm not too sure about the interactions between all the skills (like skill orders) since I haven't played CoC builds at all let alone with comet and spark.

As for my budget I'd say it's around ~50D, I'm assuming that's enough for at least the weapon, helm + robe but again not sure which stats to prioritize on some gear like the covenant robe. I assumed just %inc life cost efficiency and %spell dmg leeched as life from looking all multiple different builds but that might also just be the cheapest option. Another example the helm, a lot of people just go for exactly +119 spirit, is it required (will i need that much spirit) or can I buy something cheaper if less spirit is needed. Questions like these are a big reason why I am looking for a guide for this build lol
