[3.5-3.12 + 3,18 HC] Pure Herald of Agony Jugg. All content. Videos+Link to 3.14 & 3.15 Updates

Just wanted to post that I'm really enjoying this build and will consider this a potential league starter in future leagues.

Crafted this helmet myself - the reduced mana reservation enchant is a big factor in letting me have aspect of spider + war banner up and still have a very comfortable mana pool (I don't use arctic armor).

How did u craft that helet? which fossils did u use?

GREAT helmet btw

I used Bound fossil only. Make sure it's item level 86 Elder helmet. The +3 to minion gems is only available on item level 86 helms.

Ah ok ty for great answer

Also if i may ask, whats been killing you and have u found a way around it by tweaking build?

<cackle>

Here's the good news: Actually almost nothing has killed the original version of the build I posted except pilot error. Almost all of the deaths have been during experimentation with things that mostly made the build weaker while I was pushing the boundaries of what the build can do, either in T16 maps or deep delves (as I have a tendency to do). There is a single exception (#6 below) but let me lay out the litany of deaths I remember (not necessarily in order).

1. Original Build: Standing in a souped up purple Kurgal's Double-beam attack instead of blink arrowing out (easy dodge--totally my fault)-pilot error

2. Original build: Fighting an increased crit, increased power charges Aul (Note--I actually was able to stand and facetank most of the fight, but I died during one of the rotating turret phases not because of the build, but because of unfamiliarity with the phase)-pilot error

2. 2x experiments with Brass Dome (not tanky enough for hc late endgame)

3. 1x experiment with Coming Calamity (not tanky enough for hc late endgame)

4. 2-3x experiments without thief's torment (couldn't facetank certain bosses that the actual build can)

5. A handful of non-jugg or non-HOA experiments

6. ONE Actual one-shot of the original build at a little over 9k life. Depth 537. Mods included 100%+ added as fire, 100%+ added as cold and a bunch of other stuff. Might have also had ele pen, but I am not 100% certain. Happened in a Vaal city with one of the yellow dashing melee mobs. The mob that did it -also- had powerful crits.

Number 6 is the reason I am focusing on making knockback work with something otherwise as close to the original build as possible, as a delve that deep with those kind of mods requires a mechanical, rather than a numerical defense.

Other than that, the build does all the things I hoped it would. :>

Re: Awesome Helm

Awesome Helm! Has pretty much everything I would hope for, including Spider. Most impressed, mildly jealous. :>

Posting just to say thank you! This buld revived my interest for the game and i decided to make one last shot at BHC! It is awesome)) i`ve never gone so far

Oo lol

OP, why do you advise using the whatchamacallit unique belt, while you aren't currently using it your self?

Why recommend gluttony if I am not using it?

Fair question. I have often said that for every build I post there may be a couple of dozen ideas I try that don't pan out. But it is in my nature to experiment.

The strongest version of the build I have run so far made use of gluttony, as I wrote it up. The current version I am testing does not. But if you take a look at my litany of deaths a few posts up, you will see that I have tried many variations on this build in an effort to seek improvements. I am not always personally running the proven tech.

The one that I have written up is the one I know to be able to take on all of the content in the upper game and delve down to 500+. And so that is my recommendation to people seeking guidance. The one I am currently trying may prove useful or it may be another in a long list of failures. If I find value in it, rest assured I will post.
