Hey Chromino,

thank you very much for this detailed guide. I tried it this season and the tankiness finally starts to kick in. Just saving some currency for a watcher's eye with clarity and the spell block jewel.

But now I want to get the first large cluster jewel and I don't understand what to look for next to renewal. Why is call for slaughter good? The bonus to recently summoned won't be active for the hoag after x seconds right? I have some trouble to understand what kind of budget large cluster would be good enough to start and I'm already sitting on 6 unspend passive points :D

what es is the prio? renewal > raze and pillage (only for map clear) = rotten claws (bossing?) > call to the slaughter.

As Medium/Small I will get a pure agony one.

The only thing that is clunky for me is the raise of the spiders and I don't find enough gem slots for desecrate and frostblink/nova when I also have to fit in clarity next... I will switch that for flamedash I guess.


Thanks for all the work, you really did a good job for the community (:

Thank you Robale too,

hehe, it is much fun for me also and I am only thinking about limiting the build to one edition to make it easier and less confusing and to source out some variants on page 25 for special situations like only for level 98-100 to make it better to understand...

"what is the prio? renewal > raze and pillage (only for map clear) = rotten claws (bossing?) > call to the slaughter." yes, exactly in this order and this specialisation. Mainly the large clusters are also there to get the free slots for 4 medium clusters, small clusters and split personality jewels. When you are in urgent need of passives, you can switch out/ regret rotten claws or raze and pillage (they are always in the central, not for transit needed position of the cluster).

Large clusters are best with 8 skills and 2 jewel sockets, medium clusters are best with 4 and 5 skills (both equal) and 1 jewel socket, small clusters with 2 skills.

Call to the slaughter is not so bad, the HoA and spiders get movementspeed for damage-uptime in maps. But damage and attackspeed are only increasing 3 seconds.
For summon-phantasms-support, eventually in the HoA supports, it's a stronger notable, because they are summoned often and are fast killed.
Overall the large minion-damage clusters are more effective than defensive large clusters and full geared the build has more than enough tankyness.

For enough gemslots:

- take out concovation, the minions are immortal and cannot be killed and target everything you target with your ball-lightnings.

In the spoiler "skillmanager" are a lot 14 possibilities to get free skillsockets. In your set-up and gear I would advice to:

1) Put out flamedash and convocation

2) use frostblink for movement and raising spiders, push out withering step and ice nova (see spoiler "blizzard").As an instant skill it is in boss fight one of the best movement-skills. The divergent gemquality has fast cooldowns in boss-fights.

Then you have 3 free sockets for vaal grace (also without activating the aura for tankyness), clarity and increased duration for tankyness linked to molten shell, vaal discipline and vaal grace (the vaal skills will be a big increasement for your defences and tankyness) (...or if you prefer for more movementspeed phase run, it's no "blink" skill and no problems in combination with other movementskill-cooldowns, you can autotrigger it on the left mouse button 1 for example)

... and last, sorry, I forgot in the tipps before:

Edited:

- perhaps you have a free "empty modifier" on the (new & fine) stygian belt: take a look on the crafting bench in the hideout if you can add a stat more and use a ghastly eye belt jewel in the belt-slot with stats like energyshield, minions chance to blind, 1% reduced reservation of skills (corruption)

- you can benefit only 1x from "+3000 armour" on 1 granite flask, when you have rumi's put out the second granite flask for a stibnite or basalt flask with the suffix "# increased armour"

- anoint your amulett with cheap oils for an added notable of missing notables until you get a better amulett like aul's uprising or astramentis

- you need again withering-touch-support in the dagger

I dont have enough words, to tell how much i appreciate , what u've done and wasted your time for such a detailed overview :)
So a quick update coz its late here , my ES now is 5.2 k. Armor with flask is almost 70k. PDR is 86 and evade chance is 45 . I put some magic clusters just to have some.I will upgrade them once i have currency.
Since i've played only 3-4 maps I cant say i am used to resummoning spiders,but i am going there.Personally i find it easier with ice nove, since sometimes am going in the wrong direction with frostblink.Also, for me is like impossible to see what is happening while doing Ultimatums, so yeah..ice nova it is. Am still getting some huge hits mostly in ultimatums ( tier 4 maps) not enought to kill but still big hits :) anyway i cant expect more with this clusters and that lvl of mine :)
So again big thanks for what u are doing for us :) Looking forward to clear the game :P

Edit : I just found out that i dont need to press Desecrate while already fighting mobs lol..so dumb :) i just use the flask and press ice nova and I can even stay still in Ultimatums..spiders are always up and its easy .

And about whitering touch , it have cd with frostblink or we dont use it, spiders did?

Hehe, for me it's fun and nice to, no problem. Thank you too.
It's not dumb, it's a complex game and each gear, ascendancy and skill is different to the characters before. You have a lot experiences in poe and high levelled characters. But managuardian-mechanics and Herald of agony are different again and sometimes complicated, yes....

5.2 k es for level 80 is great! You will get more later with split personality-jewels (they will get cheap in some days I guess) and watcher's eye, with anointment on amulet like "unnatural calm" or clusters or "Foresight" on passive tree. 70k armour buffed is great for level 80 too, evasion/ dodge/ pdr are nice also!

Against big hits and without iron reflexes on skin of the lords perhaps you get "enduring composure" on a small cluster. And vaal dsiscipline, vaal grace, some armour on belt, iron reflexes etc. are still missing for more tankyness and will get cheaper in trade in some days.

Withering step (used mainly for movement speed and phasing) shares cooldown with frostblink.

Withering Touch offers damage and wither debuffs which increases the chaos damage of spiders and HoA much.

Hehe, there are many withering wither skills in the game, hehe.

Yes, when there are enough corpses in ultimatum trials you don't need to desecrate first.

Yes, ice nova has a bigger 360'er aoe, so you never miss the flying worms, but is slower than the instant casted frostblink. When you prefer ice nova, take a look into the spoiler "skillmanager" when you need a free socket, like pushing out increased duration.

I wish you large mobs & drops!

Maybe instead of limit the builds to just one, do an starter/noob friendly variant... With maybe less survivavility/damage but easier to start with and transition to another variant once we get currency.
Btw, I'm lvl 54 and starting act 7... Leveling with blast Rain and the agony... Works really great for now but I will change to arakaali once I reach the lvl. Thanks a lot for the build... Seems like you really love this and the effort you do trying to help is really impressive. Thanks a lot again.

Is there a way of target farming fang? Or am I better off with trash to treasure or waiting to buy it when prices fall eventually?

Hi, i wanna make this build but for each PoB i check i see some mana problems.
Can someone explain step by step which auras we use? I tried to search it proper guide fragment but its still kinda complicated

Hi GArchangel,

sorry, it's an rng drop. You can only improve a liiiiittle bit the chance to get arakaali's fang with beastcrafting unique daggers, divcards for daggers or crafting other unique daggers with ancient orbs. Some tipps you find in the reddit-thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/afvl00/arakaalis_fang_question/

Grelwood Shank is around 15 chaos for defences and substain stationary (when you have blindings also) right now, cold iron point dagger around 30 chaos for HoA damage (you can put summon phantasms-support in the HoA links to get the ascendancy-buffs, see "Harry Potter Senior and the Airforce 11"), arakaali's fang around 90 chaos.
You can craft also a triggerwand, but it got nerfed to 8 seconds cooldown.

Much more possibilities I not know in these days. Probably the prices will lower, but I can only guess in 3 days down to 60 or 70 chaos probably, but it's solely guessing.


Take some minions in to get the buffs, but with spiders you get the wither debuffs and around 35-40% more damage overall.

Hi Scoorczybyk,

yes, fertile catalysts no longer upgrades the rmr of circle of nostalgia to 24%, it is limited to 20% now.

I updated the spoiler "manamanagement" and "gear" yesterday, but the pob-update will wait some days, sorry, on the weekend probably. When you take all steps 1-8 in "mana-management" your mana is enough, I tested it.
Or take a look in the spoiler button and into "the dirty scorpion-tail" about more additional mana-reductions like maim support for a bit less manareservation of the crawler.

Thank you for quick reply!
I'm still gathering money with my starter character so i can wait for uptdated PoB. I'm pretty sure this will be character for ultimatum league. It looks great!
