The amulet doesn't need to be shaped or elder for this build.
Only flat es, inc es, delve es mod.

Desert scorpions)

To clarify, Golden Rule basically doubles your poison stack application? Like, when I apply poison to a mob and in turn get a poison application on myself, does this make 2 virulence stacks?

Additionally, is it worth trying to get -9% physical resistance delve mod on helm? It's probably a luxury upgrade but I'm curious as to why you don't mention it

Lastly, I've noticed some builds run pierce on HoAg. Is this ever necessary, since we are running projectile resistance?

Unless i am blind the leveling section isnt there?

Yeah this is more of a showcase items guide that is the same as the original. Go to the original I'd you want the leveling guide.

so yes for the golden rule, i don't know why or how it works exactly, but it works.

for the helmet the crawler deals like as much cold as phys and like 20-25% chaos damage too so no, not really

Pierce is not needed in this build because first we use projectile weakness which makes the crawler pierce all cursed targets and also occultist gives pack explosion with ascendancy.

For other builds pierce can be useful yes but not for this specific one

i didn't make a leveling section yet, basically just leveling with zombies personally until blood aqueduct then i switch after second lab to CI

Levelling is super easy, you can use any skills you want until you get poison support and herald.

I cleared up to shaper still wearing a 5 link quill rain and a tabula rasa. Bought myself a 6L Vaal Regalia for an ex and then got my elder bow to drop and extrmely luckily got it 6L in under 20 fusings,

I have cleared uber elder 3 times (this is my first league so took longer due to figuring out all the various mechanics in the game and rerolling three times) and due to self crafted bow all for about a 15 ex investment.

Unless they nerf crawler next league I will probably play this again. So much fun and with the Quill Rain and Tabula Rasa taking you right up to endgame it really does work as a league starter.

If we opt to take a helmet with %reduced mana reserved and the reduced mana reservation node below Conduit, it looks like we are able to squeeze in Aspect of the Spider. Is this worth gunning for, or is this too prohibitively expensive?

Also, do you swap in GMP for mapping/delving? Or do you just rely on profane bloom/pierce?

Lastly, +2 aoe gems works on gloves too, right? Seems to be cheaper than both +1 all and +2 aura
