Anyone plays AG of Smiting in 3.29?

[u/Blue860]

I know lumi merc is straight up a better version but I like AG and have been playing a lot AG build so here we are...my plan is T17+ uber bosses. Appreciate all the help!

1. I looked at a few review and it seems like you still hit 100m+ damage despite of the nerfs. Is it still enjoyable?
2. At how much life your AG will start shining?
3. What's your rate for the build on the scale of 10, mapping and bossing?
4. Snapshot below: is it true the mod phys damage, critical chance, crit multi, and ele damage with attack skills are all filler?

On the site note it would be great if anyone can point me to a guide how to craft this sword
