Can someone help me with the ascendancy choices?
Is Mistress of Sacrifice only for the Vaal Haste and Skeleton nukes? Does it help the Immortal Call CWDT proc? I always have flesh offering up with the trigger wand so that really isn't going to change. Commander of Darkness looks good for this build, why isn't it chosen? |

Hello
First i need to say that build is OP, so thanks for shared with us Second i have a doubt, when you say this : ----------------------------- Skitterbots are not currently coded in for their 20% shock. Edit any of you items and paste the following code. You will also need to tick 'is enemy taunted' in calculations. # SKITTERBOT WORKAROUND # Skitterbots apply a non-hit shock aura # which applies a debuff of increase damage taken by 20% # This is increased to 23.8% on a 20/20 gem Enemies Taunted by you take 24% increased Damage ---------------------------- I don't understand what you mean, because i search a jewel we have a "Enemies Taunted by you take 24% Increased damage" there's none on the poe.trade so how i do for search this jewel o this modifier. Note: This jewel updraged your DPS for 200k damage is insane Please help me Thanks. See you soon |

" I'm not 100% sure what you are asking, but here goes nothing: Skitterbot workaround just means that POB don't know how to calculate the dps. If you want to see your real dps in POB, you do what Kayella said: 1) go to POB 2) edit one of your items (double click item on "all items" list, click edit 3) paste this line after item's normal mods: Enemies Taunted by you take 24% increased Damage 4) click save 5) click save again 6) remember to check "is the enemy taunted" -box in Configuration Last edited by Wermine#1485 on Oct 28, 2019, 5:16:48 PM

Was hoping to get some upgrade/build advice from the couple of posters I see regularly weighing in on this thread. I still haven't completed Uber Lab yet, but once I do I'll be switching to a beefier shield and Bone Offering (Mistress of Sacrifice will be my final ascendancy points). But for now I think Flesh Offering is better just for my Spectres dps.
I had a question about my body armor, it says skills are supported by Blood Magic, does this apply to the Slave Driver's abilities? Is their lightning whip just considered an auto attack (or maybe a spell with no mana cost)? I ran a few maps with this chest piece on and it didn't seem to chunk their HP away or anything. Maybe regen and leech is counteracting it. I'm only using it right now as I got it 6 linked as a drop from an incubator and it was a defensive increase for my own character over a Tabula. My passive tree isn't the same as Kay's since I just came across this thread after following the PoB guide from Ziz/Steelmage. I'm using Ball Lightning with Avatar of Fire. Is the far left outer minion wheel (with Righteous Army/Spiritual Aid/Redemption notables) not worth taking over the increased defenses in Kay's tree? I guess once I get enough jewel sockets, decently rolled abyssal jewels should compensate for the lack of having that wheel allocated. I found Arma Brand clunky while leveling (it never procs Victario's), but it seems tempting to switch back to it and swap Conductivity for Ele Weakness + Enhance. I really don't need to proc EE/CoH all that often, Slave Drivers are one shotting packs, maybe just tough bestiary rares or map bosses need to be cursed. The Ball Lightning setup seemed better for leveling, but now worse for maps as it's slower. I was using a Devouring Diadem with both Wrath and Zealotry reserving all my mana, but I liked the idea of using Skitterbots instead of Zealotry, and I was able to get rid of the Diadem in favor of a helmet with life. Is the Spectre DPS between Wrath and Skitterbots comparable to using Wrath and Zealotry? Obviously I'll lose some spell crit and consecrated ground, but maybe the flat damage is roughly the same. Also I'm not currently a fan of Deathmark as it adds yet another ability to my bar I have to cast (I haven't picked up a trigger socketed spells wand yet). Is Controlled Destruction or some other gem okay to use instead? I have Elemental Army slotted right now but can make the switch to whatever seems best. As far as gear is concerned, should I dump Jinxed Juju in favor of more HP? And I know that I could get much more HP out of my belt and shield slots, but those are lower on my list of upgrades right now. I can't yet afford one of those nice Delve +1 spectre chests. It seems a waste to invest anything in Vis Mortis or a Spectre chest with bad stats. 2-3 ex for either of those, but 8-10 ex for a Delve chest with the desired stats. Only have about 7 ex right now to work with, so I'm close. Sorry for the wall of text, hopefully some patron saint of patience is willing to address all my current concerns. Thanks, Scrub |

" Not sure which build variant you're referring to, neither use Mistress + Flesh offering. Mistress is use on Wand version with Bone Offering to get the block/life on block from it. If not using Bone Offering, then go commander of darkness. " Skitterbot's Shock does not work in PoB. If you tick "Enemy is shocked", it gives wrong damage value (50% not 24% i believe). To remedy to that, you add "Enemies taunted by you take 24% increased damage" line to any of your items manually in PoB. That mod does not exist, you put it manually to simulate Skitterbot's damage. Then you check "enemy is taunted". " Blood Magic do nothing for your Slave Drivers. IMO the Avatar of fire + Ball of lightning variant is a lot of passive points wasted for the same behavior, but to each their own really. You trade some utility for tankiness by going Kay's tree. Up to you if you feel you need it. As for Arma not proccing Victario, I'm confused what you mean? If talking about Victario's shield, you shouldnt be using it for yourself as it's not really reliable unless using Ball Lightning (due to BL hitting so many time, but even then you only get frenzy no power). If using Victario's shield you want to have Necromantic Aegis allocated so your specters keeps the charges up at all time. For EE/CoH, you mostly wanna use it for bosses/hard to kill mobs, as other mobs are often deleted before it would matter. I believe Wrath + Zealotry is better than Wrath + Skitter, but reserves much more mana. Can replace deathmark with Controlled Destruction. Juju is decent enough because it gives some defense and decent amount of offense too. A rare ammy would just give you defensive option. In priority, i'd suggest the following upgrades 1) Your shield (really they're cheap to get a decent 100+ life, % life on block with some resist) unless you use Necro aegis with victario. 2) Trigger socketed spell on wand. They're a bit expensive but worth it by removing the hassle of having to cast anything besides Arma brand/phase run/convocation. 3) more life on belt 4) Endgame chest (6link/HP/+1 spectre) 5) Start minmaxing items. |

" Never saw anything about not maxxing precision? :O |
|
" It's not precised (ha!), but precision is just like Clarity. It's one of those auras where since it's flat mana, you just level it up to whatever you can work with in your build. |

Apologies if this is covered somewhere in the last 700 pages (I tried a quick search):
Why should Armageddon Brand stay at level 1? |
|
" Leveling it up does nothing more than increase the manacost. Its job is to proc Elemental Equilibrium (and possibly add curses). Level 1 does it as well as level 20. Its damage is irrelevant. But feel free to get 20% quality one. You get 10% increased cast speed from that. |
