And about melee splash there is a reddit post

So, i think golems won't work with this gem too.

my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

LOL, looks like the OP is trying to joggle 5 balls while riding a unicycle

I'll probably level SRS(Counting on the Baron here)+ holy flame totems + MF till yellow maps as it's simple and fast compared to what I read in the leveling section, then based on my resources and knowledge base decide on ascendancy and golem type to use

Wondering if you can use pulverize instead of melee splash, my guess is it's single target only


Ow, just read the above post...FML

That description is... Apt T_T

I need to update the leveling section still, srs and holy flame totems with zombies looks really good. Im on standard testing it now.

Necromancer looks better for early game while you get your jewels and necklace letting spectres carry you through the rough patches but elementalist is far outshining it on damage.



Anyone have advice on coloring a bow 4R-1B-1G? Worst Case scenario we run faster attacks/hypothermia early game until we can afford to recolor it e

isnt it still just better early to get clay shaper + victarios charity for (both super cheap, even day 1) the leaguestart until you get a properly crafted bow? or when does your set up start to outscale CS + VC?

yeah run clayshaper + necro aegis with a tabula early on if they're cheap, then transition into bow + victario's instead of focusing on the maim support chest.

Maim support chest is seriously oustcaled by bow/victario's with all of the new aura's we have access to.


I'll be updating the leveling section of the guide as soon as I finish crafting the bow/finding someone to sell me a freaking maloney's who's not afk so i can link them in the guide.

Best way to color your bow is to make sure you are using the lowest level base possible. Crude bows are obviously best, but you can get a very cheap 6l short bow from Porcupine cards. Difference is, average cost for a crude is very cheap, ~50chromes, while with short bow its something like 600 spamming 1r crafts.

Thanks I'll make a note in the guide. I ran out of chromatics while trying to color the one for the guide in standard. Was using a base too high with 125 dex required.

Yea with dex that high I think you get into the territory where it's better to vorici trick your way all the way to six socket.

Are you planning to completely forego MoM at this point? Losing the nodes behind it sucks, but I think the Victario's variant is going to be much more vulnerable to one shots while mapping. Clayshaper + Necromantic Aegis with MoM might be better for trying to get to 100.

I intend to go hard on mana reservations. I tried really hard to love MoM last season and I just really missed Blasphemy + Temp Chains. Even with the new aura's for better Brutality support I can't get behind it. People who love MoM will be able to convert it to a 6L bow build as well running Kaom's for extra survivability. You get your 7L from Maloney's providing level 20 Maim, or can run a rearguard quiver for more block.


For my own character this season my main concern right now is whether or not I go hybrid or pure life. As hybrid you're forced with the choice of zealot's oath or not and i'm waffling back and forth on which is better. We'll see I'm going to try out both this league.



New changes should are up. I have the new PoB's for both Life based and Hybrid Victario's Influence Builds. If anyone wants to go Mom, follow one of the 3.6 builds for it they haven't changed much.
