I updated the main aspects of the guide.

Lots of minor things to do.

Added a new version of the Pob (using the diadem and a spectre setup instead of zombies.)

Check notes and custom config!

Pushed the damage over 1.5m per explosion on ubers.

Was going to ask about spectres again.
I switch to a transfigured gem, and it helped.
But I got a Pain Artist corpse, that gives extra critical damage multiplier. This gave me a lot of output.
Need to pob my character to check it out, maybe i'll do it later.

The "near by" stop me from using the pain Artist, how does the range of it feel?

Usually minions stay close together on targets. I can really see the increase on DPS.

Have you experimented with using Infernal Legion now that the max number of spirits is 6? I don't have much experience with the build but it seems useful now that you hit summon cap so easily.

Can't make my AG survive on tier 11 and above maps.
What is the secret?

Weo, can I wear HH with this build ?

Well, I've been struggling with the build this time around. It feels way too clunky, especially in red tier maps, the clear speed is awful.

I swapped Predator and Conc. Effect for Unleash and Infernal Legion (this way the SRS die faster and don't despawn). It felt better for clearing but the damage is lacking, much worse than in previous leagues.

Not really sure what could be done, but I'm hoping someone figures it out, because I'm way too dumb to do that myself.

Howdy Starting Affliction and was wonder what tree I should go for this build? I met one of the people already while leveling but didn't know if they where who I should go with any idea?

Thx

you could, but you would get the buff since its not you killing the mobs.

So not really a point in wearing it.

Thats what I feared.

I was struggling too.

I'm currently running a Replica Midnight Bargain ofr up to 12 Spirits.
Got the "perma" onslaught Charm: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/lX643vwUV

With this it feels okish to have a SRS setup like this:
SRS of Enormity - Unleash - Crit Damage - Minion Life - Predator - Fire Pen

additionally I got two Spectres one perfect Meatsack and one Perfect Pain Artist

The Damage is great so far, but the clear is definitly worse then past leagues :-/

so i am using it with "quotra regulator shield" and "Necromantic Aegis" in the skilltree.

gems:
unleash + Trans SRS + Fire Pen + Crit Dmg + Predator + Minion Life

aura:
defiance banner (zero mana cost due charm)
determination
tempest shield
skitter
blasphemy + flammability

with stone golem + feeding frenzy + ele army

spectre: meatsack

that's it so far.. i just wish to drop eldrich battery if possible but so far i couldnt find a way to do it without..

dmg seems fine so far.. but i havent reached red maps yet

4k life + 1.5k es

Clear speed is definetly the biggest problem here.

ST DPS can be quite high with the correct itens, but it sucks on clearing.

I am currently doing maps 16, but I don't have elemental ailment immunity, and having to stop and cast every single second is getting me killed quite a lot. Also, on maps just a little bit juiced, thing get way too scary.

My AG is also squishy. Dies too often.
