Hello Chromino! I apologize in advance for bad language. I'm writing with google translate :)
I want to say a huge thank you for the superbly painted build and the responsive support. I play on xbox. The market situation here is very bad. there is no lord skin with the right node and colors. Some questions have arisen. I don't really understand the mechanics of summoning spiders on bosses. I have a flask to summon worms. on the boss fight, I cast desecrate 2 times, use the flask and the agony crawler kills the worms. as a result, there are no charges on the flask and the worms just died :) survival is just sweet. you can stand and drink coffee. By the way, I use both determination and grace all the way. I'm so calm) I also can't understand why there is so little damage. on t16 bosses, I can beat the boss for several minutes while having 50 charges of infectivity all the time. If not difficult, give some advice on what to do. Thank you very much again.

Hi Chromino

Thanks for the tip the other day. I have been trying to get the defensive block jewel. Spec works at the moment but feels a bit clunky. https://pastebin.com/pjzcEVLb

I realized you can get Glancing Blow with a thread of hope large also giving you acces to Divine Shield.
I have an Skin of the lords with Divine shield, so was thinking of selling and get a cheaper Skin to buy some other pieces of gear. Since I now only save 1 passive point compared 3 without Thread of Hope.
I can then also switch out rainbow striders and get the resistance I now miss on boots. Without Rainbow Striders I still have 64 block and 75 spell block.

I guess I also need to swtich to a stygian and perhaps some now gloves but I feel I will start to lack ES. https://pastebin.com/pW7sW880 I got new boots and things seems okay for now all thought I would love some more ES.


Another question I generally feel like slows (curses or some freeze) really hinders me a lot and blocks my cast speed as well (this has gotten better after more block). Anything to do here? From what I understand of your ailments section. It is all about getting the jewel enchants when possible. Or maybe it's stun and block recovery, I can sometimes barely cast my skills.

Best regards
Mckoch

The divine keystone is b.i.s. when you later want to improve to voices clusters and/ or 2 minion- masteries.
When you go more tanky the ghostdance keystone is b.i.s. I
It's in the end only 1 passivepoint difference.
But when you later want to go full damage and less tankyness keep the divine-shield-armour.

Glancing blows ist still great when you not focus that much on defences and tankyness. When you like it tanky, I urgent advice to regret it around lvl 85 or 90. When you focus more on damage you can take it in and get 8 passives more for damage, but fullgeared you get the fulldamage also fullblock. You reach around 3x, tripple tankyness, without glancing blows, 100% dr of blocked hits instead 35%, against spelldamage. For spellblocks that is best, for attackblocks you have already much evasion.

You have 6.4 k es. Thats great. For more tankyness I advice to turn fullblock and regret gb. Divergent frostshield offers 10% more dr too. A watcher's eye is the first easy big upgrade in tankyness when you free up the needed jewelsocket in the tree.

Yes, chills and freezes of course slows. I personlly felt very tanky with ignite-reductions. Freezes were only a serious problem in encounters like the feared, there I reroll this mod.
Against shaper you can simply change your pantheon to "soul of the brine king" or need the harvest-crafted-implicits stacked against his freezes.

When you prefer you can also develop 100% ailment-immunities on boots, arcane sanctuary, shield mastery and anoint your amulet with "crystal skin". On jewels, rings or a cluster flexible sentry you get avoidances too. On page 50 in the spoiler "hardcore" are more possibilities.

Chills stack with mods like temporal chains or mobs have chance too avoid poison. When a lot of this mods are stacking, you get some lower damage. Vut only some of the mods are ordinary no problem and you are just slowed a bit.

Does the anomolous Reckoning trigger 10% block from Bastion of Hope?

Thanks for your in depth answers. Helps a lot to get some tips and pointers where to go. I seems to have misunderstood the value of Glancin Blows. It gives a lot of block but makes you take 65% dmg of hits instead of 0 is that correct?

Currently I feel like lacking damage. I guess mainly on bosses as I have hard time keeping 60 stacks. I use both brand and lighting but cast is a bit slow. I soon have a 20/20 divergent HoA just hope it goes well with corrupt. I guess Curse mastery would be a nice addition, so perhaps respec to that?
How much damage are the spiders? Using a wpn slot for blink?

Should both Cast when stunned and Frostshield be max lvl also when no special quality?

Is there anything obvious I have missed?

eldritch bat, runebinder, doomsday, iron will, perfect agony, glancing blows, ghost reaver, imbalanced guard, mind over matter, divine shield, iron reflexes, impaler - 1
versatile combatant, ele overload, ele eq, ancestral bond, avatar of fire, crimson dance, acrobatics, agnostic, eternal youth, blood magic - 2
resolute technique - 3
precise technique, call to arms - 4

Great guide, a lot of information to absorb, im currently trying to push juiced t16 maps and end game bosses, i seem to survive fairly well as im using the thankiest variant, only problem is my damage doesnt seem to be that great. Can you have a look at my char and see what best option would be to increase my dps or what im missing? Is the chaos conversion tanky enough to complete juiced maps?
Thanks

Thank you a lot FourlegWolf, and we wish Arachnophilia!

Your gear and set-up is already top!

You deal 4.8M singletarget. With vile toxins instead pierce (you should have enough mana) and multistrike for the spiders 6.2M (see spoiler boss-hunting). That is more than enough for almost all content and red t16. Only for UE, The feared or Simulacrum wave 27-30 you should reach around 10M and more.


Best is to insert first the 4th pure agony to reach 8M and second triad grips for 10M shaper-damage. You can regrtet int next to wicked ward and righteous army, so you already reach 5 more virulences and much more damage.

For next the triad grips you need a divergent HoAg lvl 21, cursemastery with despair as second curse and anomalous spellecho-instead the poison-support-gem. So you get again 80% poisonchance, high castspeed and full virulences for the crawlerdamage, see section gloves in "gear, skills, links". Your HoAg is already at lvl 30 - so the chaos mastery for tipping point lvl 31 is very strong too for 12M in the end. Other possibilities are unholy might in the minion mastery for a big buff in high density. Just compare your set-up with the tree of the 100% chaos-conversion-edition.

For all set-ups you need passives or regret some passives. Your lvl 91 is a bit low for the 100% chaosconversion: lvl 93 or 95 are more easy with good defences to turn into offensives. start with one more pure agony and then just check it out how much you can balance into damage!

In defences it's easy to upgrade your belt (stygian with es and some armour around 50 chaos), the second split personality and watcher's eye, there are very strong ones cheap in trade. All your defences are great, only the es and armour are a bit low and you should use the armour&es-mastery.

I would start with watcher's eye and split personality, after receiving them you should have be so tanky that you can balance easy more into damage.

Yes, the chaos-conversion-edition is also extreme tanky. Try it out, when you have some experiences in poe or a safe playstyle you are almost unkillable even with 15M damage and full damage and ready for lvl 100.

Totally forgot about that passive haha thought i had it, will help a lot. With the more juiced maps will it be better to switch out pierce for fork? or will it be worse.
