Regarding PoH, it is possible I just didn't quite get used to the difference in playstyle. I was swimming in currency last league and spent about 70ex on my PoH build, which included a Watcher's Eye with ES/Clarity and Haste/Phase, and I still died a lot. The clear speed was absolutely bonkers, but dying infuriates me.
Considering that most of my deaths are oneshots i came to the conclusion that Bone Armour/Molten Shell+ VMS would help more than a Cwdt+IC setup, you could give it a try.
Well shoot, that is a great idea. VMS does add a lot of EHP and I didn't even consider it. No doubt PoH is the king of clear for SDs, but maybe this is what was missing from my build before to help with survivability.
Are you guys getting enough EHP without an ES/Clarity Eye? Mine added a ton of ES last league.
Hey everyone! I'm excited to be back for more SD love in 3.9.
Searching for this answer but can't find it, so forgive me if it's been answered:
The +1 int gems on ammy -- does the effect of this affix work in PoB? It doesn't seem to change any of my gems or stats in my PoB.
Also, @ElCatti - I'm interested in your thoughts on the new PoH. If it's similar to 3.8, I'm pretty sure I'm still gonna prefer W&S. I lost way too much survivability in 3.8 and I didn't care for it, even though it was a significant damage boost. I died 4 times leveling to 95 with W&S but died a couple dozen while farming juiced up as PoH and never hit 96. Anyway, please report back.
You should switch to localidentity's PoB version. Original PoB only gets some new data at league start, but no need features.
Nothing has changed for PoH's survivability. The build is still kill first or get killed :) You can stick with W&S, other players have said they have no problem with Sirus 8 with W&S!
Thanks for the reply, Kay. I'll see how Awakener feels at 5/6 with W&S and go from there.
Has anyone had any success surviving metamorphs and Sirus by getting some chaos res on gear? Is it worthwhile?

I am without a watchers eye and I am sitting around 7400 EHP. I never die mapping but I do however usually avoid multi proj on maps.

How is that working for you? I am in the same boat... My rare death are always Metamorph one shots that I honestly have no idea wtf it was that hit me most of the time.
Metamorphs arent a problem thx to an 17 second 7,5k shield (at least before i switched to PoH, maybe 6k now) that stacked with Bone Armour for 2,2k shield every 4 seconds.
Legions manage to kill me sometimes though, even through VMS.

I did ca. five Sirus with W+S after the minion change and he is a joke now.
Im at 60% chaos res atm, was capped with W+S and like i said above, Metamorphs arent a problem at all, cant remember the last time one killed me, all of my deaths were either Legion or being stupid.

Since I'd rather not have two more self cast abilities I am going to try just using bone barrier for metamorph fights and see if i still get occasional one shots. It's hard for me to ditch CWDT+IC since its saved me a bunch of times with a high health pool.

That change alone wouldnt do much, without Mistress of Sacrifice exactly 0, and if you switch to MoS you basically have a ~30% chance to block something that would have killed you before.
Ok, after my ISP finally allowed me to do some maps with a stable ping i realized how much i love block/spell block and decided to brainstorm a PoH version to include a Kiloava-Lethal Pride, which means i need 37%-38% block/spell block to reach the block cap.
Bone Offering + Mistress of Sacrifice + Rumis would be the easy choice but since i have a Flesh Offering Lab enchant im looking for alternatives and wanted to ask everyone here for input.
So far i have Rumis 10% + Mystic Bulwark 8% for 2 points + probably Whirling Barrier 10% for 3 points + (unlikely Enigmatic Defence 9% for 4 points) whatever is left for the last percents.
Hi Kay.
I have some questions.
Finally I got 'Aul's uprising' with a option 'Wrath reserves no mana'.
I was using
Wrath, Summon Skitterbots, Stone golem.
And now, I'm using
Wrath, Zealotry, Stone golem, Aspect of Avian.
Now I have some questions....
1) As a second aura, what would you prefer?
I was considering zealotry and vaal haste...
then finally I chose Zealotry.
What is your choice?
2)I was going to use Skitterbots as well, but there's no more mana to reserve
But in the POE Ninja, many others are using aspect of '~' and skitterbots together.
If I want skitterbots, do I have to use lv4 Enlighten support gems?
Or no need to use skitterbots?
Hello! This is the best build I've played. If i have already bought all things, will awakened stones improve damage?(I saw awakened stones in your profile)
