Arachnophilia! HoAg and minions remain unchanged. Tattoos are not removed. Spellblock was buffed, but the build lost 3k armour with a nerf to determination. We simply equalize this totally the buffed ward and buffed endurance charges or by balancing a no longer needed spellblockcluster into an ar/ev-cluster. Simulacrums got buffed big, good clusters and voices are cheaper and more available. The buffs With the huge buffed ward of the elixier of the unbroken circle, which is doubled by skin of the lords, we solely get each 2 seconds additional 10% ehp. The buffed enduring charges add another 15% more flat ehp. So in total great 20-30% flat additional dr / ehp are obtained in [3.25]. The levelling skill poisonous concoction was buffed nice. With the new taste of hate and some +max/cold-resis we can have 25% more ele-ehp before we use the melding of the flesh. Looks like a great league for HoA again! ![]() +++ Top Nr.1: Facetank most bosses | no oneshots +++ Facetanking Sirus's meteors, lvl 600 Aul's refreshing cold bolts, Ueber-Maven's "cascade of health" +++ without mageblood +++ Immortal Minions +++ Quotes and posts of the Arachnophomaniacs: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-post/24473679 Some bosses - Exarch in 5 seconds, Eater in 5 seconds, Facetanking Shaper's beam https://youtu.be/0k1YaQXdnuQ T17 tank all attacks of Bosses Citadel + Fortress full juiced https://youtu.be/UzFRqY7whvc Beyond and Delirium, juiced T17 Sanctuary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nD9lI5AINs T16 mapping and crawling at the full juiced empowered delirious bazar https://youtu.be/T6IFVWgeW30 Cyclonacrum https://youtu.be/TI8ImAGMULs?si=GHwtdJ-kGXuMBPxE Chromino facetanking 2 bosses at once simulacrum wave 30 https://youtu.be/rBo_sVS5JI4 Some bosses - Exarch in 5 seconds https://youtu.be/1eCs-z_wMLk Some Ubers - U-Shaper - U-Exarch - UU-Elder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8jYY2kwpmE If you want to contribute to the guide, you can record a video of you killing an end-game boss, and I will add it.

If used count in: with the jewel rational doctrine: enemy is on "profane ground", phantasms 11x, physical projectiles. If used, add 15% more damage (average effect punishment). For even better calculation you could add in the 10 % increased damage taken of shocked/ consentrated ground vessel of vinktar/ bottled faith. While mapping: 5 projectiles of the scorpion (with awakened gmp: 10) plus 4x piercing the targets with pierce support, with awakened fork x7, up to 180 targets. ----- Because almost all builds are counting their in juiced mods and in big aoe's always dying glascannon-animate guardians and squishy z-hp support-spectres in, are full in fantasy correcting their 1.5 wither-stacks to 15, are optimistic overwriting their supportbuffs from temporary to permanent, know only full chained-aoe-damage against singletargets, ramped up with 9 buttons snapshotted after only 2 gearswaps, wear never possessed 10-mirrors pieces and low-budget 500-divs vaal regalias starter-gear and remarkable rare 7-skillsockets, wielding impulsive instant in only three weeks crafted weapons, default double corruptions on each piece and out of the poe 3-future dropped +5 amulets, are tanky 6 convincing defensive layers of portals stacking, drink their own individual magic flasks filled with only 10 new unique stats, and are editing quite interesting more funny personal pob-configurations, I decided to use only common to medium to good gear and not b.i.s.-pieces in the pob. ----- ■ ■ ■ TL;DR - The short edition ■ ■ ■
Spoiler
The short edition Stack your own poisonchances to 80%, HoA-levels, medium clusters of pure agony, ghastly jewels with minion chances to poison on hit, sources of withers withering step & sin's rebirth, skill-efficiencies in the tree and on small clusters, auras, CI-recovery, spell suppression, spellblock, guard-skills.

"gear" - section body-armour for the keystones as CI, section gloves asenath`s for maps / triad grips / vixens for singletarget-bosses 5. "skills": HoA-virulences etc. 6. "jewels": the first four 7. "checklist defences / details of the ascendancies / faq" 8. far down at the total bottom you find all poe-tradelinks and budget-variations in the last spoiler Build up your defences and damage This build shows improving paths of gear-set-ups. Mana, damage and defences are balanced a bit different with the weapon, belt, used or unused tempestshield and clusters. You can switch the set-ups fast. 1.) Levelling (until t12 maps) Stack 80% poisonchances for HoA-virulences. Get the cheap starters: Rainbow Stride boots, Ghastly Theater shield, Darkness Enthroned, the first Ghastly jewels with minion chance to poison on hit. Get needed dex and resis on other gear and for HoA a 5 /6 link Body Armour or Replica Alpha's howl. Head always as early as possible to cheap small clusters for auras and medium clusters for "pure agony". 2.) Starter Set-up - The Mana-Management Relaxed master your manamanagement around lvl 50 with the 3 small clusterjewels "uncompromising", "sublime form" and "self-control". Simultan outsource more resistances and attributes from gear onto the clustertransferpoints and onto ghastly jewels. With 2 circles of nostalgia, all skill-reservation-efficiencies, and on top the 90% (or better 80%) manamultiplier-helmet corruption and the amulet-anoint you manage your mana to activate all big tanky auras to stack all global basic defences and keystones. When you get a watcher's eye with es on hit and reach on the tree 95-100% spell suppression and have crafted well rolled flasks you are already geared for almost all content. 3.) Boss-Hunter 20 M - The Damage Easy around lvl 60 you start to optimize your damage with full "pure agony" on all 4-9 medium clusters. Harmonically in simultaneity you tripple up your ehp around lvl 80-85: Arriving in the second large cluster you max also your defences and switch in more wanted jewels and small clusters. You reach an unique record of 1M-inf*Ehp. 4.) 100% Chaos-Conversion: 40-70 M shaper-damage Outsource all needed attributes, resis, ailment avoidances and spell suppression on clustertransfers, implicits, tattoos and league-mechanics to get more free passives and more free capacities for the Adorned and blue magic corrupted abyss-jewels, damage, tankyness and qol. 5.) The Highway to damage 200M Around lvl 95 when you want to full max you decide to gain the b.i.s.-status on each piece of gear, jewel and each implicit. With mageblood you add more resis on flasks. Some spell suppression moves there out also. Melding of the flesh and a sapphire flask raise your max-resis to 90%. With more voices clusters or also the fourth large cluster you improve further stacking up to 112 virulences against the last Ubers in still remaining full tankyness. Your HoA-base-damage skyrocks with the raising virulences. So in effect you need less minionpoison to cap your damage over time. The hunt for some additional fitting megalomaniacs clusters with hundreds of interesting combinations begins. Attractive corruptions & doublecorruptions are gathered. As final bonus you scale now into HoA-crits with Maata's Teaching and additional curses on top for total convincing 250M shaper-damage. And / or use the +1 chaos mastery or the unholy might-minion-mastery beside. The Infos So take your dozen from this build: The Countdown
Spoiler
The defences This build reaches out to max the long row layers of defenses. It stacks the big tanky auras, armour, spell suppression, spell block, keystones and recovery. The Arachnophobia Allstars are using a special combination of gear like the shield aegis aurora and skin of the lords. High buffed global defences multiply your Es, your flasks, the aura determination and triple with grace. Following the Allstars take wonderful the intensive full bath in the united composition of all northern tanky keystones. Ghost Dance, Divine Shield, Zealoth's Oath, and Wicked Ward recover, regenerate and recharge in quadrophony. As back-up the graven's secret belt can recoup all the time. Then this team of components begin massive to collaborate, lift off and impressive quintuple total to: 0- oneshots 1- the only one tanky tank of tanks. 1000 es on block, 1000 es when hit, 1000 es on hit/ sec, 2- layers of chain-explosions, 2 curses, 2000 ES recovery /sec with vaal discipline and wicked ward 3- panicskills, 3 different damagetypes united: autotriggered autobombing, continuous dot, selfcasted peak-pamage 4- 000 ES/sec frost shield autotriggered, 400 es/ sec leech 5-0 and more minions possible as mass-summoner 60 % and more damagereductions against ranged attacks in frostshield, in the tanky edition 60% of elemental damage taken recouped 7-5% spellblock and 50% real fullblock with 100% dr, 75% dr of max. and optimized 5000 Molten Shell 8-9% max elemental resistances in lategame 9-0% buffed evasion, 90% physical damagereduction against big hits and crits, 90-190 % additional movementspeed, unique 9-18M ehp 100 % spell Suppression, 100% elemental ailment-immunities, 100% crit-immunities, 100% chaos immunities 110 % overcapped allresistances, ready for debuffs, scorch, elemental-degens and -equiliriumed maps 12 - 270 M shaper-damage It's like drinking every second some lifeflasks and your blockings are never limited. This means that in combat hits and spellhits heal you nonstop. We can facetank almost all bosses. The damage Offensive it's very effective and balanced with it's crawling immortal scorpion-minion. In higher skill-levels the herald of chaos is probably the highest damage-scaling minion in Wraeclast. It's center is the dirty tailsting clearing five times each second two screens in top-tier-range. The Allstars stack unmatched flexibility with unending possibilities in the whole poe-system. Dozens skills can be utilized and transformed into the chaos-minion-projectile-damage of the ranged attacks of the scorpion. Ball lightnings, cyclone, tornados and 50 more fast skills can be used to tickle the scorpions' tail. This build mixes a dramatic cocktail of 3 different damagequalities united. With tempestshield, autotriggered void spheres and storm brands the herald is autobombing, with poison half the damage is balanced into continuous d.o.t., and the peak-damage is active casted channelling homing tornados or storm bursts buffing the beast into fullspeed and initializing fullscreen-chainexplosions. The crawler raises - Herald of Agony caught the POE world by storm
Spoiler
Scorpions & Spirits, Agony & Arakaali HoAg, HoP, HoT, HoI, HoA Originally five heralds, one for each of the five damagetypes in wraeclast, were sent out from the islands of zealand to boost the clear speed in the mines of Nico. Two heralds were designed as outliners to be empowered as new mainskills. The slow gang of of purity, minionheralds in the mortal physical realm, hit hard in close range. Last the only one single raised. Shaped as a scorpion the herald of chaos was immortal born in the endless dunes of arachnophilia and crawled out of the sands at the beaches of Wraeclast to raise his small dirty sting. A long time ago - The meta of herald-stackers [3.4] to [3.12]
Spoiler
In these ancient leagues all these heralds were often multiple crossover stacked with more heralds to be elemental scaled and converted, supported by the aura hatred, the grips of the counsil, cold penetrations and exposures and the keystone elemental equilirium. These heraldstackers were often one of the leading meta-skills in [3.4] Delve and following. Of course fast in [3.5] Betrayal league the multiple-damage-scaling of herald-stackers and in [3.7] Legion the HoA-virulences-damage and agony-uptime with cluster-notables were deep, dark and bitter nerfed by 40%. Merciless aegis aurora es on block was halfed. The Mana guardians Finally as Mana Guardian this chaoscrawler caught the POE world by storm when POEDan took it to a whopping 1359 hardcore delve level in [3.7] Legion. He had something like 27K energy shield, 40K armor, and well over 1 million in Shaper DPS. In Metamorph league [3.9], the build was used again by Daser in SSFHC delve competition and he finished second place with 1071 depth with far less gear than Dan's 1085 depth Baron Zombie guardian. The deep nerf A second time in [3.10] Delirium the hammer swinged - another 30% nerf to HoAg-damage was thrown out. The support-spectres as well as the animated guardian we're nerfed step by step and lost their former immortality from [3.13] Ritual league by league until [3.15] Expedition and even further sinking into the [3.19] Lake of Kalandra. [3.13] The historic first Allstars-video "Endgame": Necropolis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY3pKO3RIFo The Arachnophobias and Arachnophilias In [3.13] Ritual I introduced the new guide "The Arachnophobia Allstars" focussing much more on armour- and aura-stacking with more clusters and aul's uprising, with iron reflexes on Skin of the Lords, solely exclusive designed with immortal minions, with evasions of minion-blindings. With more curses and full withers I buffed up spirit offering, in that time another added 30% chaosdamage. I optimized the pathing and skills and supports and almost 100% flasks-uptimes were reached before the famous belt mageblood was born. I reworked the selection of large and small clusters using their buffs of [3.11] Harvest. I stacked the aura-notables and stalwart commanders to build in Grace. I combinated HoA with withering spiders of arakaali's fang. The build was designed as total tank and I reached in that times immortal 5k es on block stinging in 5M shaper-damage. [3.13] Facetanking Sirus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl3572Zmsyk ![]() Leaderboards [3.14] to [3.15]
Spoiler
So in [3.14] Ultimatum the HoA-allstars-guardian was popular again and No1-rank in the solo-leaderboards of the Guardian-leaderboards, No1 in the forum, and leading the arachnophobiatic dream-team of scorpions and spiders with arakaali's fang. HC lvl 100 Rank 1 was easy reached too. In [3.15] Expedition the tipping level-points of HoA were buffed and lowered from lvl 31 down to lvl 29, enabling building in different weapons as the former almost meta +3 CIP or +2 triggerwands and different amulets. [3.15] Infinitve* ehp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnteQs472d8 The big buff [3.16] to [3.18]
Spoiler
One league later in [3.16] Scourge the damage of HoA-virulences was buffed around 25%. The new awakened gems were upgrading the HoA totally awesome too. The auras determination, grace, and as well as discipline were hard buffed in relation to stats on gear. Ghost dance and divine shield were introduced on the tree for Hybrids and CI's. Armour overall was huge buffed 50% against bigger hits. With the nerfs of Glancing Blows, to the memory vault, to the blindings and blue nightmare the Allstars turned into the reformations of the full-block-editions. Tempestshield was introduced and perfect fitting to skill the qualities of HoA as autobomber. Balaar reached with HoA the new poe-record in speed-levelling. In total the damage reached 90% more damage as one league before. 24M. In [3.17] Astramentis / Siege of the Atlas managuardian leaderboard rank 1 was climbed again after 3 days. Scaling up dps & qol, no hh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0hgtjDMpm4 1M In [3.18] Sentinel the keystone 1M views of arachnophilias was scored. The new seventh digit was counted in on 29. may 22. Here the Allstars crawl! Facetanking the Maven's Memory Game: https://youtu.be/Dv1MWYqWnYE For science a pob-glascannon was optimized. 89.7 M shaper damage. In 150k ehp like common squishy other skeleton-mages-meta-minion-builds. ![]() The crawler raises 200% [3.19] to [3.23]
Spoiler
In [3.19] Kalandra poisonminions got buffed around 200%, and the King of Sting in the mix of 60% physical and 40% chaos-damage was full prepared to raise again into s-tier damage like the fast hitting SRS Summon Raging Spirits. The hexes temporal chains and despair were buffed imba into the top. Skin of the Lords and many uniques were buffed. 4w socketed triad grips became the one and only b.i.s. So cast-while-channelling trigger and setups were getting more and more interesting and were urgent needed two leagues later for 90 HoA-virulences. The beloved classic balls of lightning needed to be removed, the offerings too. In maps the minion-offence-mastery walked in with unholy might with 40% more damage - another step into 40M damage, without headhunter, without meta-expensive gear. In [3.19] the Necro got the perfect 8th HoA-link-support deluxe with "unnatural strength" in her ascendancy, so I optimized and introduced the new HoA-Necro - The Arachnophilia Allstars. Also in [3.19] the CI-Trickster was buffed extreme tanky, but I optimized the other ascendancies and waited until [3.23] to publish this new tank at last. The necro raises - farming the delirium-dunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu8pbz5aTVE In [3.21] Crucible the Pathfinder joined the Allstars-team with 30% more chaos-damage of withers and her easy 100% uptime of utility-flasks. New defences With some small buffs in the reservation-efficiencies and capacities and ressources of spell suppression moving from gear into the tree and the nerfings to the melding of the flesh-jewel and the Allstars' 89% max-resis, and reacting to the ele-penetrations of most of the Ubers, the build switched in it's 3th large cluster, the 5th and the 6th medium cluster and travelled into the eastern world of the tree into 100% spell suppression. Molten shell was halfed. Recovery and substain needed to be fixed - and the graven's secret was detected. 100 virulences - 100M damage In [3.23] Affliction the helmet-enchant and alternative skillqualities were nerfed and removed, on the other side default HoA-skill-quality was transformed into virulences and so in result the amulet ashes of the stars was very nice buffed. With the new quality to storm burst and the new ball lightning of static 110 and more virulences are reliable stacked in 0.3 sec and 90 virulences are easy almost continuous triggered beside the high increased es on hit with the traditional watcher's eye. The storm brands of indecision chain-clean maps. Poisonous concoction was chosen as the new easy levellingskill. Now already the final HoA-tipping-point lvl 34, up to lvl 39, is claimed. The poe-engine hardcaps the crawler's dps-dot. ![]() 2M The second keystone of totally combined 2M arachnophobiatic views in united 4 arachnophil ascendancies-forums dropped on the 22.4.24 in Necropolis. ![]() HoA arrives in 200M In [3.24] the former default HoA-virulences- generator stormburst was happy buried in peace and good mood in the graveyards of the Necropolis. After many leagues cyclone is reborn again as valuable channelskill for 100 virulences. The homing tornados of turbulences and ball lightnings of orbiting fit perfect into the cyclone movement skill-set with full damage-uptime. The golden rule is now not needed before lvl 90. The build-damage raised 25% another time in many optimizations. The returning tattoos buffed the build in value of 5-10 passives. The new unique herald-ring circle of ambition was introduced for smaller fine suffixes. The changes to unholy might and the sin's rebirth-flask enable to build in some es-leech and grant more easy withers and frees up one more jewel slot. The Adorned was unbugged and the HoA-poison-setup (abyss-jewels /belt /weapon) turned total flexible. As variation the +2 dark seer fits great for fast tankyness and with the +2 Maata's Teaching sceptre HoA-crits can be scaled as next multiplicator in low-budget imba over the top. It seems that the mageblood turns much easier to farm and much cheaper each league and it teams up great with the high buffed global defences by Skin of the Lords. With the changes to the sapphire flask the melding returned and 90% max-resis are used again in lategame good geared. The Champ arrives in the team and can stack high 50%-80% flat damagereductions and 250 k armour. ![]() 3.25 Settler Spell block, ward and endurance charges were buffed, in exchange determination was nerfed. Taste of Hate became useable for 25% more ele-ehp. Asenath's gloves were added for more clearspeed with chainexplosions in maps. The time arrived to Jugg. Great regenerations in all juice. Hiero- and Gladiator-variations were pathed, last the Scion launched and the circle of the Allstars closes. Meta-ready? With these huge buffs to movement, qol and damage the Herald of Agony is probably minion-meta ready again. I don't see since [3.24] another minion-build to scale up better. Holy Relics reach only 50% of the capacities in damage and defences of HoA, Spectres are squishy in juiced t-17. HoA is as downside a bit more complex to build, but needs only a much lower budget. https://pobb.in/3ZbX5FCw B.i.s. geared in high-budget 270M damage and 112 HoA-virulences are stinged in tanky 2M ehp. For the new t-17 standard the immortal minion fit simply perfect. ==> The History of all leagues are noted on page 474 of our longnecked arachnophobia neighbours: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3019705/page/474 Which ascendancy? Which budget? Why HoAg?
Spoiler
- Yes, it's true: This high optimized and in-depth Arachnophobia-Allstars-guide just right here in the official poe-forum reach 2x up to 10x multiplied damage and easy doubled up to quintuppled times more ehp, substain and avoidances compared to the casual-common builds of Aer0, Snolaz or Verlyna's on YouTube or in PoeVault or the HoA-bleeding-duelist-build. The ascendancies alternate 20% in damage, tankyness and recovery. Choose your class depending on your playstyle, your favourite poe-content and your poe-experiences. Start relaxed into Poe as Trickster for total best tankyness. With some poe-experiences go Necro to kick'n sting more damage, but you will need to avoid sometimes dot. Select Jugg for also almost immortal mapping, Scion, Champion or Pathfinder for the mix, use Guardian for easy levelling. Since the necro-buff in [3.24] often I update the flexible necro-ascendancy first. Other ascendancy-improvements follow sometimes delayed a few day later. Prices / Budget Thumbed 10-15 chaos for yellow t5, 30 chaos for yellow t11, aegis aurora 1 div for red t14, skin of the lords/loyals 2-5 div for pinnacles, 10-15 div for juiced red t16, 30-40 div for t17 and ubers. 30% less when you craft some stuff yourself. Ultra-B.i.s. gear 80% less compared to Bama, golems, etc. ----- Trickster is most cheap for early best tankyness, Necro most cheap for damage, Pathfinder for the mix. Some differences in lategame (forbidden flesh and flame, league mechanics) varies and are hard to plan. ----- ___________________________________________ Ascend.:___Guardian_Necro_Trickster_Pathfi_Champ_Jugg_Scion DPS singletarget___2____1____2____3____2____2____2 DPS high density___2____1____3____3____2____2____2 Tankyness_________2____2____1____2____1____1____2 With mageblood___1____1____1____1____1____1____1 Levelling Lvl 1-75__1____1____1____2____3____4____2 Gearing Lvl 60-95__2____2____1____2____2____3____2 ___________________________________________ + + The Ranking + + Trickster - The Tank The Trickster grants an immortal mix of defensive layers and es-recharge against d.o.t.

Ready for red mapping early. 6M dps, 400k ehp possible at lvl 85 with cheapest gear without awakened supports because the HoA scales most damage with easy to craft medium clusters, cheap ghastly jewels, curses and withers.

Is there any other build with these defence-capacities out there? Beginner-friendly - but complex: Budget: much cheaper than many metabuilds Uniques in most slots: Know-how of crafts not needed Complete poe-trade-links listed in the last spoiler at the buttom of the thread Because you can facetank most bosses without danger, it's a nice time to learn more about their abilities, attacks and mods. Not only a "copy my pob-link!"-build: Sorry, this is probably one of the most expanded and longest builds in the forum. Complex and strong poe-mechanics - all global defences, CI, aura-stacking, the world of clusters and jewels, HoA, minion-crits, multiplied damage-scalings - are united and explained in the guide. The build, the pob and many spoilers are designed like a toolbox for you. You learn step by step to scale damage up. Selecting your own individual favourite triggers and skills, to free-up skill-sockets, to manage mana and to optimize clusters and the passive-tree is explained. Dialectical strategies and variations for all levels are shown. You can dive deep into the world of poe. It's a massive in-depth build explaining many budget-variations and stat-details. Comprehensive checklists for damage and defences, checklists for all stats.

As Champ lvl 90-99 were done with 2 deaths, relaxed in low 3k es, in allflames-necropolis high juiced maps, b2b, rogueexiles, delirium and beyond. Jugg died 4x in lvl 80-100 in max-juided beyond - delirium - ritual - ultimatum mapping. While most other builds go only for 20-200k ehp, this build's focus on defences, enabling 1M - to inf* ehp and lvl 100 in all content. HC viable Also without top-gear: Large es/ block is most safe against poe's lags and disconnects. HC lvl 100 reached Melee and ranged playstyle combined The best out of both worlds - smooth moving of cyclone combinated with ranged spells Different damagetypes united as HoA-trigger: selfbuffed damagepeaks, homing tornados, continuous poison-dot, autotriggered counterdamage Tank & Cast-style is definitiv more fun as kite & hide Chaos-damage and dot penetrates es and many defences of bosses 90% - 190% additional movementspeed Allrounder Best fitting for t17, simulacrums, delve, bossing, deliriums, logbooks, heists, blights etc. All minions are immortal - optimal for boss-hunting Easy to balance and to specialize for individual content and goals in endgame. Much space to play and vary with skills, passives, keystones, clusters, supports and gear slots. In groupplay great supporting with auras and curses. CONTRA

On maps with the No-Mana-Recovery-Mod you have to take in an enduring-mana bottle and must map slow or reroll. Heavy ground damage can still kill you (exception is our immunity to burning, shocking and caustic ground). Overall not best, not cheap and not easy leaguestarter! Shield and armour are expensive in the first days of last leagues. In leaguestart often alternative 2c gear is needed in these slots because of pricefixers/ high prices. High prizes are often leaguestart prizes. Ongoing in league they will change. Support and demand changes through the first weeks much in trade. Not cheap when you max your watcher's eye, amulet, empower and implicits - but still much cheaper and more flexible as other meta-builds. In Ssf HoAg is strong extreme not optimized, but much more difficult to collect the CI-unique-gear and HoA-rings and manamanagement-clusters. Complex to max - not easy to optimize all mechanics, you will need your time and some know-how to scale HoA-damage, CI-recovery, trigger, keystones, jewels and clusters and to balance the manareservations. But as result you learn in this build almost everything about many core-mechanics, global defences and tanky keystones in the northern tree. When you take the tanky nodes "only" 50 - 150 millions singletarget shaper-dps. That is more than enough for all bosses. You will rush through the maps with your 150% added movement and 42 mill. piercing and forking mapping-damage. You have no downtimes of your damage because you are tank and you have ranged DD's, dot and autotriggered damage. But sorry, you don't oneshot the Ubers compared to the glascannons and only-bossers in the neighboorships. Because the poe-engine hardcaps the dot-damage not easy to buff above 300M damage. ![]() / Black Star down - youtube-record 4 seconds / Last edited by Chromino on Sep 7, 2024, 1:40:10 PM Last bumped on Sep 7, 2024, 4:39:59 PM

The Build
The Composition of Agony - Chromino's Fine Art of Arachnophilia - Checklist of damage and destruction The Scaling: HoA-Virulences | HoA-Levels | Poison | Withers | Curses | Chaos-Conversion | HoA-Crits
Spoiler
Hack'n sting! Mix the max! This fine composed recipe with the full dozen seasoned components tastefully serve full arachnophilia in passion for destruction. Here starts the guide to journey into the fine arts of HoA-crawling. The key is to increase the HoA-base damage by increasing HoA-skill-levels with gear, empower and awakened supports. We insert more large clusters to insert more medium clusters to use more pure agony for more HoA-virulences, which are generated with poisonspellhits. The HoA-virulences multiply the HoA-base-damage. More jewels slots are produced collateral which are used for ghastly jewels for minion chances to poison, resis and mana-management. Then we continue to scale up further with withers, curses, dot-multiplier and more debuffs and buffs. Finally we invest into the last multiplier Critical chances and damage and arrive in hundreds of millions damage in the lategame. Thumbed almost each new section doubles the damage of the former sections. ■ TL;DR | Show me the scaling | The Ranking of all HoA-buffs ■ Shake up and stack up the coctail of damage for shining clean screens with: Poisonhits for HoA-virulences generated ingame > HoA-skill-lvls (base damage improved with HoA-supports and gear) ≥ HoA-medium-clusters Pure Agony (base damage, attackspeed) > Withers ≥ Curses (Despair, Temporal chains, more curses) > HoA-poison / Ghastly jewels / The Adorned > 100% Chaos-Conversion > HoA-crits > Spirit offering > increased miniondamage (rings, clusters, etc.) > other buffs (feeding frenzy supportminion ≥ culling strike) ![]() ■ Virulences ■ Whenever you poison with spellhits and other skills, you generate agony-virulences and your Herald will hit faster and harder. Poisonchances and physical or chaos-damage-components of the skills are basic components. For pure elementalskills the eber's helmet adds a chaos-component. Final place in the cherry jewel the golden rule. Skill up minimum 80%, better 100% chance to poison: 20% HoAg-buff 25% 2 passives serpentine spellslinger 50% 10 tattoos of the tawhoa shaman 25% 2 passives fatal toxins 20% curse mastery whispers of doom While levelling: 40% chance to poison supportgem/ or integrated in rare gloves Equal to 100% more HoA-virulences: With the jewel "the golden rule" you double with self-poisoning your stacking of virulences against singletargets. Alternative increasements:
Spoiler
+10% increased HoAg buff on circle of ambition / of nostalgia +20% septic spells cluster +10% discord artisan passives +7% empowered envoy cluster ■ Skills ■ We choose the most fast hitting spells with lowest mana-costs in whole poe - like tornados of elemental turbulences, ball lightnings or storm bursts - to generate full virulences. Simultan they scale up our fast es on hit-recovery and witherings. Until 90-100 virulences: cyclone (lvl 1) - (awakened) cast while channeling (lvl 5) - tornado of turbulence - ball lightning of orbiting Above 90-100 virulences against singletargets: storm burst (lvl 2, qu 20) - cwc - ball lightning of static (qu 0) Limit them to lvl 1 to reduce the manacosts and to be not rounded down to zero by the poe-engine.

They are our leaders for damage. Each adds 5 HoA-virulences and basic 20% miniondamage. HoA-gemquality 23 and Ashes of the stars add virulences too. Virulences are a complete unique multiplier for Herald of Agony. 80 counted virulences quadruple the damage compared to slow 40. In the lategame with more currency for more voices-clusters your damage is tenfolded with 112 virulences compared to 40. Check the counter in the green HoAg-Aura-Icon for the needed continuous 60-120 virulences-stacks singletarget. Alternative check in pob the hit rates for maximal poison stacks of your combined cyclone, 3 tornados of elemental turbulences, ball-lightnings, and other skills like fullchanneled storm bursts. Calculate them without increased poison-durations, but instead increase them by 20% adding a thumbed 0.4 sec for the delayed fadings of HoA-virulences. Double them manually for the golden rule. Alternative compare the gained es /on hit-rating. ■ Increased damage ■ 200% default increased miniondamage is stacked with the 2 herald-rings circle of ambition/ of nostalgia. With the clusters and supports 300% are increased. Above higher increasements have not much effectivity. ■ More Poison ■ Now we scale up the HoA-poison until we reach 100% minion chance to poison on hit or until the poe-engine hardcaps the dot at 35.7 M. ■ the darkness enthroned belt to double 2 rare yellow ghastly jewels with "15% minion chance to poison on hit" ■ with enough resis/attr in other spots get instead 3 well rolled blue corrupted magic ghastly jewels. Double and more them with the jewel The Adorned. A cheap Adorned rolled 90% is in average early already perfect. ■ HoA-support awakened unbound ailments. Around 100M total damage, with hardcapped poisondot of 35.7M, switch awakened unbound ailment to predator, damage on full life, vile toxins or other supports. ■ with the jewel amanamu's gaze's 30% more dot-damage you reach early the hardcap of the poe-engine for poison-dot ■ 50% dot-multiplier of HoA-crits In lower levels you can also start with: ■ the united in dreams sword for 60% poisonchance Against the Ubers dot is much more effective.

Which b.i.s.-pieces, voices and unique medium-clusters can you snipe, farm, afford or craft on your own? That are the factors. 100M can be reached fast with the Adorned, 3 curses and some HoA-crits, for 150M you need good voices, to almost oneshot the Ubers in 200M use only best gear, and a bit tankyness is exchanged against 250M. If you you are boarding to full damage serve your composition of destruction in the deep love of the dirty scorpion-tail. ■ More clusters and voices ■ ■ With 1-3 voices clusters you scale so much HoA-base-damage that you need less investments into HoA-poison. ■ At the same time you reach so many jewel slots, that your hunt for unique megamaniac-medium clusters begins. When you get b.i.s.-ones (with the manamanagement of sublime form and self control, suppression and ailment-immunities of elegant form, and damagenotables like vicious bites and renewal, etc.) you can balance for each good megalomaniac around 10-15% dps more in best geared. ■ Pathing into the fourth large cluster also without voices can be valuable. A large chaos- or minion-damage-cluster could add nice damage. ![]() ■ HoA-Crits ■ Really best in slot geared with strong voices and mageblood in lategame, when you have the 3-curses-capacities to use assasin's mark to buff spirit offering, investments into crits can double your damage one more time. ■ Mataa`s Teaching sceptre is the best crit-base (10% crit-base) ■ Assassin's mark (3 HoA-power charges, 150% increased crit-chances, +1.5% crit-base, +50% crit-damage) ■ Pathing 5 passives into into "fearsome force" (80% increased crit-chances, 60% increased crit-damage) ■ Buff crits high with Arcanist brand - Unearth - Spirit offering Increase the effects of offerings by default (13%), with ashes of the stars (15%), in the minion offence mastery (20%), and on the boots-eldritch-implicits (15%). (150% up to 230% increased crit-chances, 40-65% increased crit-damage) ■ Profane ground of the jewel Rational doctrine (100% increased crit-chances) ■ Brittle ground, boots-eldritch-implicit (2% crit-base) ■ Bottled faith (2% crit-base) ■ Vicious bite on large or unique medium clusters (stackable, 30% crit-chances, 15% crit-damage) In total we reach a 10-16% crit-base, multiplied by 500-600% crit-chances, resulting into 70-95% HoA-crit-chances, to procc 150-250% HoA-crit-damage. The HoA-crittings add beyond a huge +50% to damage over time multiplier to the HoA's poison-dot. More crit-scaling :
Spoiler
■ Only when you reached high critchances without Maata's Teaching base-crit a good rare trigger-weapon /-wand with high minions crit-damage is sometimes a good choice. ■ Not recommended: Critical damage-support (150% crit-damage), 3 Grand spectrum cobalt jewels with minion crit multiplier (good 90% crit-damage, but the Adorned-setup for HoA-poison is stronger), Tecrod gaze jewel & murderous eyes & offhand, Severed in sleep, Ancient skull (low es-roll, 150-250% crit-chances), Devourer of Minds stacking +9 power charges Malachai's loop +tree + Ralakesh Impatience-boots /or Graven's secret (up to 450% crit-chances), Precision + Generosity (mana-reservations), Icicles mines of sabotage etc. have, compared to other settings too many downs and are often not effective. ■ Not recommended: Physical Crits HoA's original 60% physical-damage could impale with dread banner, rotten claws and impale-support. Minion-bleedings could be scaled with abyss-jewels, renewal, pride, vulnerability and tempest rising boots. Elemental Crits Critical ignites could be procced with added fire damage, raze and pillage and renewal. Cold-damage with hatred, grips of the counsil and as utility freezes with hypothermia support, Lightning with shockings and renewal. Dot-multiplier, EE, exposures, the fitting curses, converting triad grips and penetrations would buff beyond of course. But in 100% chaos-conversions, by withers and poison HoA-scaling remain by now the best. ![]() Keystones | Gear

Spoiler
Take the trinity of keystones. Then upgrade to the quadrophony of the Lords. The 2 x +1, total +4 levels of skills skin of the Lords or Loyals serve more damage up for our hard levelscaling agonycrawler. Sometimes you also need less defences when your enemies are faster killed. For all content we love the damage to onehug the mobs strong and instant. 100% increased global defences (armour, evasion, energyshield) buff perfect further all tanky auras and granite- and jadeflask, and following as result in chainreaction the effects of basalt- and stibnite-flasks, the recovery of aegis aurora's 2% of armour es on block, of ghost dance and divine shield. Last in the mix this massive collection of defences maxes the capacities of molten shell, frost shield and iron flasks for the big hits and peaks. All inserted gems have to be corrupted! Also 4 or 5 correct socketcolours are enough, they cannot be modified. ==》 For different socketcolours dive to the spoiler "skills" --> "the dirty scorpion tail" Alternatives

Rare Grasping Mails with increased global defences and high es, as trickster high ev buffed by the ev-mastery, + to level of socketed dex /support-gems, additional curses, spell suppression, eater imlicits increased aura effects, exarch implicit flask charges, + max-resis, are good to fix stats. The armours Kintsugi, The Queen's Hunger, Cospri's Will, Lioneye's Vision, Dendrobate, Loreweave, Brass Dome, Inascendant Heart, to wait with CI-transformation Shavronne's wrappings, for wearing alternative rings Pragmatism or The Coming Calamity, or Dialla's Malefaction are good starters too. Cheap starters are rare armours with high es and the alternative HoA-helmet +4 Replica Alpha's howl. ■■■ The Keystones ■■■ CI Chaos Inoculation | Ghost Dance | Divine Shield | Magebane | Iron Reflexes | Lethe Shade
Spoiler
Most keystones are pathed on the passive tree. You yourself choose your final flexible keystone served by Skin of the Lords. Chaos Inoculation You exchange life-ehp and the holy life-flask into 100% chaos-resistances. A lot tankyness and qol in many chaos-map- and altarmods, against Sirus, Chayula, Katharina and Delirium- and Beyond-bosses, in Abyssals and Ultimatums is gained. As CI you often balance defences into stacking auras and recovery into keystones. In this style you can wear much unique gear. Access to many special CI-ES-mechanics like Aegis aurora's recovery, Watcher's eye es on hit, Eber's unification, Ghost Dance and Divine Shield is opening. Chaos Inoculation is also efficient to use the golden rule jewel to double HoA-virulences with selfpoisonings without wasting stats on boots or helmet. Ghost Dance | Evasion Up to 20k ev is reached by your buffed grace. That is with blindings 90% evasionchance. You take 1 out of 10 hits. The deterministic sequential arrangement of evasion harmonize deep with undeterministic random attackblockings. You take 1 out of 20 hits.... Less hits are taken, less recovery is needed. Together this combination manifests a layer of immortality - you improve 2M to 20M to inf* M Ehp. Ghost dance recovers buffed 500 es and more when hit, x 3, so it's equal to 1.5k-2k es perfect filling the small gaps of the evasion-, block- and spellblock-layers in damagepeaks. As bonus the evaded hits tripple and more the remaining capacities of your molten shell, frostshield and ward for the big punchs, peaks and crits. You cross the keynote on the path on the tree. Ghost Dance is best-in-slot in high density. ■■■ Keystones Skin of the Lords■■■ Magebane Perfect to reach fast and cheap 100% spell suppression. Take a look into the section "important mechanics" --> 100% spell suppression". Eg with Magebane stack some dex for some spell suppression when needed. Without magebane simply switch in elegant form on a cluster. Best against U-Eater. Divine shield offers much regenerations, especially when they are most needed against bleedings and vulnerability-curses. With Thread of Hope large radius in the Templar area you can fast activate the keynotes Divine Shield, Glancing Blows, Runebinder, 2x points Sovereignity and Redemption. Iron Reflexes The tipping point for exchanging evasion into doubling substain and physical damage reductions. Determination and Grace will take you together with Iron Reflexes to 150000 armour. Not 15000. Yes 150000. This means you get 3000 Energyshield on all your blockings with the Aegis Aurora-Shield and block is never limited. This is big buffed by 140% increased global defences (armour, evasion, energyshield) of the Skin of Lord and increased aura-effects. Best optimized with stibnite-, jade- and a basalt-flask. Good synergies with graven's secret belt or melding of the flesh, in set-ups with the keystones Divine shield and Glancing blows and also in the Champion-Ascendancy. Regret with 0 evasion Ghost Dance. In maps Iron Reflexes can be fine combinated with frostwalls linked to cws and meatshields like phantasms. You find an optimized passive tree and item-tab with mageblood and pathing on the tree into iron reflexes scrolling up in the pob. Iron Reflexes is the choice to facetank Sirus, Uber-Shaper and more high physical-damage as well as blockable fast spell-hits like from Exarch, Maven. Explanation high vs medium Armour
Spoiler
The shaper slam and a beam of sirus with big physical hits are fine examples for differences of effective high 100k armour beside the strong doubled es on block. https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Armour Take a look in the ar-calculations on mitigiated damage and rules of thumb: The allstars take with double armour minimum 40% less damage with only one damage-mod up. When shaper crits it is about 50% less total physical damage taken because of the dimishing returns of armour, and with double or tripple damage modifications these differences will raise much further. You want more?
Spoiler
You really want 200000 armour and more? Or 500000?
Spoiler
Take some #% increased armour notes on clusters like stacking "battle-hardened", "defiance banner" and a vivinsect unset ring socketing grace lvl 26. You will lift off to 200000 armour and more and will get 4000+ ES on block. But at the same time you will loose damage and other defences. Without downsides wearers of the meta mageblood-belt reaches 100k - 0.5M armour, 2k-10k/ es on block with well rolled flasks. Lethe Shade Perfect against not blockable damagetypes. When you reached 100% ailments-immunities it's a strong addition against the uber-dot-bosses. It fills up the small gaps until the next recovering es on block was triggered, until you moved over a ground-effect or until maximal es on hit was procced by the watcher's eye. Other keystones:
Spoiler
Zealot's Oath would be needed to transform regenerations of bottled faith, enduring cry or purifying flame. Best as jugg, good as Guardian. Not needed without. Wicked Ward is most often starting recharging in fullblock-editions, high evasion, 100% ailment-immunities, without used chaosskills of the +1 chaos-mastery and of course after using vaal discipline too. Can be buffed with the ar+es mastery "increases to armour also apply to es-recharge by 20%" to compensate the downsides by 80%. Great in slower lower levels, not much effective in the fast lategame against aoe, dot and swift bosses. Perfect as Trickster. Glancing Blows ... when all defensive layers are builded up sometimes interesting. Decreases your damagereductions and capacities of molten shell and frostshield - but when you have high evasion, high armour, 100% spell suppression, +max resis, frostwalls, meatshields, high absorption charges of graven's secret belt, or as tanky champ or trickster, it's for full 75% blockings in some set-ups best recovery with the aegis aurora and enables to push out tempest shield and grace too. Resolute Technique ... can be used melee-style cycloning for 10 more generated virulences, some es on hit and withers. Runebinder offers as keynote 10 more virulences singletarget with storm brands while moving, that's a lot fast damage. You can activate it with a large-radius thread of hope too. Ghost Reaver ... with "Ethereal Feast" and the necromantic minion-leech "Bone Barrier" in the ascendancy interesting instead "Wicked Ward" useable for fine 2 seconds continuous 700-1500 es-leech. In other ascendancies Ghost reaver is not recommended without mandatory by the flasks "Sin's Rebirth", "Arcane surge" and more buffed high spell-damage, "Vessel of Vinktar", a leech-flask suffix or es -or life-leech-supports. Damage: +6 HoA-lvls are possible with Skin of the loyals (2x+1 to socketed, +2 to minion gems) +Max-Resis, Critical damage reductions you find sometimes on corrupted Skin of the Loyals. Skin of the Loyals offer enough damage for t16 and uncorrupted gems fits in. ■■■ Ranking ■■■ 1) Skin of the Lords: Divine Shield, Magebane Best balanced colours: 3 g, 1 r, 2b (mapping) or 2g, 1r, 3b (bossing with predator) 2) For facetanking Sirus, Uber-Shaper etc.: Iron Reflexes 3) Skin of Lords Lethe Shade (only with 95% ailment-avoidances) 4) Best for damage: +6 Skin of the loyals (2x+1 to socketed, +2 to minion gems) 5) When you upbuilded all defensive layers, Glancing Blows is sometimes valuable 6) Ghost dance, Wicked Ward, for melee cyclone Resolute Technique, Runebinder, Zealoth's Oath, many neutral keystones 7) Skin of the Loyals, 2x +1 socketed gems, + 50% reduced damage of critical strikes, +1 max resis, etc. +2 The dark seer shadow sceptre, +2 energyshield and mana per level, adds convincing tanky +700 es, malediction and blindings in the mix with awesome damage and a bit better manamanagement.

The King of the sting - The dream-team of scorpions and spiders 20 melee speedful spiders can add a wonderful aggressive style for shining clean screens in a arachnophobia dreamteam when wanted too. Double damagefractions of ranged and melee minions are possible. The dream-team of scorpions and spiders is possible! Arakaali's fang is interesting before you get the third large cluster and full HoA-virulences. Blinding and knockbacking spiders are teaming in with the dirty sting-king for full witherings and damage-uptime. Let the spiders dance! The spiders are fast. Early clearspeed in not full juiced content lvl 70-95, in labyrinthine, winding, angled, crampy dungeon-maps, in sanctums, against proxy-shields and to apply full 15 withers in arenas against lower ordinary pinnacle-bosses. Use fast 2× unearth (/or desecrate) for needed corpses, then 1x flask writhing jar and an aoe-skill like storm burst / storm brands / flamedash to raise the spiders. Withering Touch – (Awakened) Unbound Ailments - Melee-Splash-Support / Multistrike Against the last bosses like Sirus, Shaper, Maven change melee-splash to multistrike and unbound ailments to feeding frenzy. Wormphilia - raise your spiders
Spoiler
We have to raise our spiders. We want to do this in every situation. In some boss fights ball-lightning alone are difficult to target the worms of writhing jar, when you cannot concentrate on them. Take desecrate on the second (right) mouse button. Push it two times. Open your Writhing Jar – bottle. Then last, in the moment your worm lift off and is flying into the air, push instant an aoe-skill. I personally placed it on the middle mouse-wheel. This works best. So: 2 x desecrate right mouse button, channel cyclone / or frostblink, 1 x writhing jar flask. It is fast, but easy. When your crawler, heist members or Einhar are too often killing the worms before you, storm burst or storm brand works better with it's 360°-er aoe. Ice Nova is comfortable. Also using predator and marking bosses makes raising spiders easier. Monik390 suggested more tipps to autotrigger spiders: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3019705/page/287#p24396858 This shield is the fixing point of recovery and substain: Aegis Aurora

Fullgeared you'll get up to 1000 ES on 50% fullblock and 75 % spellblock. This can work 10x and more each second, blocking is not limited. Also extreme lags, oneshotting disconnects, freezed networks, framehangers and all other damagepeaks will fail to kill you. Your big block heals and recovers unlimited. On the peak of the top the +5% max cold-resis could be further buffed with the jewel melding of the flesh and aura purity of ice to imba +85-89% all max resis. The shield-implicit Added Spell Block as implicit is great. When you need a free gemsocket, you have to search instead poetrade for shield aegis aurora with: " 'implicit' grants # lvl skill determination" or granted grace.

Alternatives and leaguestart
Spoiler
The Ghastly Theatre is a strong starter and take you safe into yellow t10 or also into red t12. The Oppressor, Daresso's Courage or before CI-transformation The Surrender are good too. The combination of the malachai's loop, the belt graven's secret, 2 added power charges on the tree, tempestshield against shocks and best a watcher's eye es on hit is tanky enough for almost all content before. Or take simply a rare shield with "recover 5% es when block" and high es. Best of course, but hard to craft, with +gemlevels, +max resistances, ailment-avoidances, etc. Apep's slumber is strong too in leaguestart with high recovery and +max resistances as CI with our keyjewel golden rule. For alternative es-recovery the Heartbreaker can be wielded and also dual-wielded with the replica-hearbreaker-edition in slow low levels for es-recharge with wicked ward. Can be buffed further with a cheap watcher's eye discipline-mod, apep's supremacy and on the tree with essence surge to 220% faster starting of es-recharge and with wicked ward. That means 0.6 sec without damage and dot taken is needed to start uninterrupted es-recharge. 2 Circles of Ambition / of Nostalgia
Spoiler
Circle of Ambition or Nostalgia is very important for our ressource mana and will manage our reservation for our herald. You need minimum 1) 36% increased efficiencies on the ring. ==》 visit spoiler "manamanagement" The best implicits on the rings is the stat "chance to avoid elemental ailments". Best for moving with cyclone is "bleeding cannot be inflicted on you". Granted "onslaught on hit" is great for speed and qol. "Arcane surge on hit" instead is for mana-reg and for storm burst taken. Ignite immunities are close following. Other ailment-avoidances, granted skills, attributes and resistances, mana-regenerations or reduced manacosts, and increased aura-effects are good starters. Alternatives
Spoiler
An anathema-moonstone ring is very interesting. Path to presage instead whispers of doom on the tree and for the fourth curse to "infused". A hungry loop (faster casting - chance to poison - increased duration - es-leech / arcane surge for storm burst and 4 free sockets is another possible variation. Also an animated guardian or other support-minions for curses, fortification or crits and more set-ups are noted in the "skillmanager"-spoiler. Upgrades with fertile-catalysts
Spoiler
You should upgrade your circles of ambition / nostalgia with fertile mana-catalysts for reservation-efficiencies, the belt for overcapped elemental resistances against debuffs with resistance prismatic catalysts, and your amulet with attributes intrinsic catalysts. The Amulet - Ashes, Uul & Aul The "ashes of the stars" best buffs our damage. The generating of virulences, tornados- and cyclone-movementspeed or of storm burst is enhanced and the quality and level of many more active utility-skills, like withering step, supported. B.i.s. is the additional implicit "You can apply an additional curse". All the cheaper amulet-starter-variations get much stronger with this implicit also. Starters and variations
Spoiler
+3 Replica Dragonfang's Flight is the strongest starting amulet when you snipe it cheap. A rare amulet including +1/ +2 gemlevels and aura-mana-reservation-efficiencies is a strong variation. The stranglegasp can be xtreme strong anointed 4 times and b.i.s. corrupted to a rare: Charisma, Whispers of doom, Sovereignity, Prismatic Skin / Crystal Skin, Gravepact, Fearsome Force ... The choice of tanks is the amulet aul's uprising for easy one more large tanky aura as long as you miss efficiencies on your clusters. As example purity of elements let you use melding of the flesh early. "Uul-Netol's" adds resis and enables to add a second synergizing skill like eg skeleton-archers. The cheap Stone of Lazwhar caps fast your spellblockings beside castspeed for storm burst and enables when wanted to switch out tempestshield. Anoint
Spoiler
When you need mana always anoint "charisma" (or "souvereignity"). When you builded up a perfect manamanagement "whispers of doom" is often advanced for the second curse. On a starter-amulet an early cheap anoint is "Instinct" for spell suppression or "Sanctuary" for blocks and resis. Variations
Spoiler
Alternative anoint "prismatic skin" or "crystal skin" for +max-resis with melding of the flesh and 100% ailment avoidances. Helmet
Spoiler
Full es, full damage, our beloved inbuilded void beacon... The big b.i.s. is an Eber's Unification Circlet for nice 20% more damage. The additional chaos damage triggers poison of all elemental skills and so crawler-virulences beside. Get a corrupted helmet for the implicit "80% / 90% mana-multiplier" and insert your aura-gems into the sockets. A second b.i.s. implicit like a 80% manamultiplier or +2 to socketed aura-/ aoe-gems is possible. You should get 20% quality of the helmet with corrossive armourer scraps and double all es nice with the energy shield mastery. Variations
Spoiler
An almost perfect crafted rare eldritch helmet with high es, +2 to all miniongems, + 12% + 10% reservation efficiencies as eldritch-eater-of-worlds-implicit and as prefix, increased despair-effect and stats like debuffed chaos resistances nearby is bringing in one more free suffix for resis/attr in endgame. Replica Alpha howl`s makes while levelling your manamanagement easy, Elevore caps early your ailment-immunities and spell suppression or the brine crown buffs armour. The maw of the conquest offers the rare mod unaffected by poison instead CI and enables hybrid life+es-set-ups while using the golden rule. An Ancient skull is nice too. Gloves
Spoiler
In maps beautiful chainexplosions are watched clothed in Asenath's Gentle Touch. B.i.s. when you focus on mapping and juice high density. Impactful stacked with Unspeakable Gifts on a large chaos-cluster. When you have a perfect mana-management you can get even better explosions with "spiritual command" as amulet anoint. Invest beyond when wanted 5 passives for the minion offence mastery unholy might for maximizing the clearspeed. Against singletargets use better 4 white sockets on the triad grips. 100% chaosconversion is best to buff 20-50M damage with withers, despair, minion-poison and eber's helmet. Autotriggered curses like temporal chains are available as implicit for a free skillgem-slot and some qol. They are best chosen with 2 implicits for 2 granted curses on hit. ==》 In "Important mechanics" --> "Crafting Gear, Clusters, and Gems" is the "Crafting"-guide for the 4 white sockets of the gloves (betrayal, temple) and also gems, clusters and boots. Variations
Spoiler
Vixens entrapement-gloves are great to switch 5 passives of the curse-mastery "whispers of doom" to the chaos-mastery "corruption" or for a third curse. They are best chosen with 2 implicits for 2 granted curses on hit. Or start instead with rare gloves with high es and spell suppression, integrated chance to poison, for more castspeed crafted with essences of insanity or with good rare eldritch's implicts to max beside +2 cold-resis for melding of the flesh. Simply 2 hexes on hit as double implicits is a good choice for qol and a valuable free skillgemsocket. Try out i.e. Null and Void for virulences with rampage or vaal caress to buff the auras. Boots
Spoiler
Get rare eldritch boots with high resis and es, and high spell suppression (13-14%) and with ailments-immunities on a sufffix and crafted as eldritch-eater-of-worlds-implicit. As cheap starter rainbow strides add high 20% spellblock. With a bit more stacked spellblock you can choose flexible alternatives instead the large-spellblock-clusters or deactivate tempest shield. Also often b.i.s. as champ and jugg. With stacking tattoos for chill & freeze-avoidances and spell suppression the boots-slot is often free to choose (since [3.24]). More alternatives
Spoiler
Alternative in rare shaper-boots integrated increased duration-support buffs impressive storm burst and firestorm or almost double your vaal skills and molten shell-uptime ( ===》 visit "Variations" --> "Don't Panic") or cap early your spell suppression with Atziri`s step. Rare boots, with the elevated prefix unaffected by poison is in endgame a variation to enable a hybrid life+es set-up. Windscream boots let you choose flexible the gloves-slot instead vixen`s entrapements, a third / fourth curse or free up the 5 passives of whispers of doom. Belt
Spoiler
The belt-question is not easy and straight to answer. Since [3.24] Necropolis you can easy balance your whole build into damage or into tankyness with the choice of your belt, your weapon, and 5 passives on the tree. When you have good rolled ghastly jewels with minion chance to poison and resi / needed attr start cheap with a darkness enthroned. When you want instead more tankyness while levelling a graven's secret is your choice. With enough currency enjoy the mageblood. Damage belt Darkness Enthroned with 2 abyss-jewels-slots let you fast double up 60% minion poisonchance to free up 2-3 jewelslots on the tree. It enables to choose the weapon slot flexible for alternative weapons instead united in dreams. When you have enough attributes and resis on clustertransferpassives or on the magebloodflasks and other slots, the jewel "The Adorned" instead doubles well rolled blue corrupted magic jewels and enables to switch to the tanky belt graven's secret. Tanky belt
Spoiler
When you focus on even more tankyness, Graven's Secret cloth belt let you recoup up to 60-70% damage of elemental hits. This will fill up perfect the short small gaps and cooldowns of all the defensive layers like blockings and es on block, es on hit, frostshield. Generate in maps charges on block with "mage hunter" stacked on the large clusters. And against singletargets use Assassin's mark. Skilled Power charges on crit-support or slip into the Ralakesh Impatience-boots for always full charges. Get the 5th powercharge "infused" in the ranger-area or also the 6th in the witch-area. The belt has good synergies with the keystones iron reflexes and glancing blows. Favorite graven's secret best with the implicit of elemental resistances or with increased aura-effect of determination. Lategame Mageblood
Spoiler
In the endgame permanent flasks-effects are added with the famous mageblood. Mageblood fixes also easy str- and dex-problems and resi-problems with a flask-suffix of the rainbow or a bismuth-flask. So it enables to max the build with "The adorned" to double the effects of well rolled magic blue corrupted ghastly-jewels. Mageblood flask-set-up Mageblood further enables to use 70% flasks-effects with instilling orbs and to roll the increased effect-prefix for total 95% added effects. Granite-, jade- and iron-flasks (+800 es) are great doubled buffed with 100% increased global defences of Skin of the Lords. Using a permanent Quartz flask adds 29% spell suppression in combination with the suppression-phasing-mastery to cap and fix 100% spell suppression. A permanent sapphire flask of the rainbow let you raise up to +9% max cold-resis for reaching awesome 89% all elemental max-resis with the jewel melding of the flesh. Variations
Spoiler
A Stygian Vise belt fixes needed resis, str and other suffixes in a good mix to squeeze in cheap the Melding of the flesh and the Adorned already before mageblood. The tides of time add flask-charges to build a unique flask-set with the effective rumi's concoction (blockings), sin's rebirth (withers), elixier of the unbroken circle (endurance charges), taste of hate (ele-ehp), soul ripper, bottled faith. With spiked concoction / alchemist genius and fasting on a cluster, some flask-uptime-tattoos, the flask-mastery careful conservationist, or also the traitor-timeless-keystone, almost 100% flask-uptimes are reached. Headhunter is in maps funny and possible too and adds many special buffs. Last edited by Chromino on Aug 26, 2024, 4:16:38 AM

This doubles the gained poison stacks for your Herald of Agony-Virulences. With this jewel you will be able to sting 60 - 120 virulences also single-target on bosses. With Golden Rule the stacks are doubled and enough to keep always maximum virulences for the Herald. Mobs and mapping are never the problem for enough stacks. Use only as CI, the reflected poison can cause suicide. Also be careful with selfreflections of bleedings, like afflicted with the curse vulnerability. You can gear the helmet Maw of the Conquest, Kahuturoa's Certainty boots or rare boots with the elevated suffix to be unaffected by poison and the golden rule's downsides. ==》 The complete line-up of poisonchance and virulences is in "the composition of agony" listed.

One of the best items in the game to farm is the Watcher's Eye. There are combinations to explore and you can also explore some of the most peak-high prices in trading in Path of Exile. So don't worry when you only get 1 and not 2 or 3 optimal mods. The most worthfull mods for this build are: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Sentinel/9yvRR3muK 1) Discipline: ES gained on hit: It's also one of the most expensive mods. It will raise the substain much with your active spell-hits when there is no blockable damage. Best with storm burst, tornados of elemental turbulences and ball-lightnings. 3 tornados hit nonstop 12x each second. Or ball-Lightnings strike default each 150ms, 6x second, and you reach fast castrates of 3-4 hits/ sec, that's 20 hits/ second. Specialized spell-echo would split non-alternate ball-lightnings and increases the counting of overlapping aoe-strikes. If you use Slower projectiles it's equal to 1.35 multiplier to add in manually last. Storm Burst ticks fast 6.8x/sec full channeled with 12-14 multiple moving small orbs. Yuuups - nearly I forgot to mention to count further cyclone, void spheres, storm-brands and tempest-shield-chainings in. TL;DR: 1-3k es/ sec recovered against singletarget. Enjoy to facetank Shaper's beam with full channeled stormburst and stacked other skills! Expressive multiplied by multiple targets in high density content. 2) Grace/ Spell suppression frees up some passives or a slot on rare boots. Without use magebane on sol and elegant form on a small or unique medium cluster. 3) Additional spellblock with Discipline: With this you can cap spellblock fast and perfect. Max it up in endgame for boss-hunts not flask-depending to 70-75%! Born to block! 4) Damagereductions/ Damageshifts: Additional Physical Damage Reduction with determination, because of the armour-formula double effective. More

5) When you need urgent es: Clarity: Gain 10% of maximal mana as extra maximum Energy shield This will result in around 400 added ES. Take it only to score relaxed needed es against oneshots (... or fiveshots in 0.1 seconds without blockable attacks). This fills as deep far downside one valuable gearsocket and reserves mana. Without this mod remove the clarity-jewel. 6) Grace: movement speed When you like it speedy always very fine. 7) Determination: added armour: nice armour and more es/ block 8) Determination additional attackblock 9) Discipline: big buff for wicked ward with 40% faster start of es-recharge ![]() HoA-poison | Ghastly jewels | The Adorned | Amanamu's Gaze | Dot-Damage
Spoiler
Minion chance to poison on abyss jewels is equal to an additional 7th HoA-support-link and is awesome for the uptime of damage. We buff it with temporal chains to 2.5-3 seconds continuous dot. We scale up the HoA-poison until we reach 100% minion chance to poison on hit or until the poe-engine hardcaps the dot at 35.7 M. Against ubers it's 3x more effective, when you farm them use in pob-community-fork the uber-configurations. Start with: 1) belt darkness-enthroned + rare ghastly-jewels + Amanamu's Gaze Progress in lategame to: 2) the adorned jewel + corrupted blue magic ghastly jewels + Amanamu's Gaze + free belt-choice First choices on the abyss-jewels are: 1 - On your jewels and clusters the implicit for tankyness most worthfull is corrupted blood-immunity crafted with vaal orbs. 1x "Corrupted blood cannot be inflicted on you" (before 100% flask-uptime / without mageblood, implicit, alternative possible on a cluster-implicit also) 2 - minion chance to poison on hit (suffix) 3 - resistances, required str /dex /int (suffix) 4 - chance to avoid bleeding (mandatory for cycloning, suffix, implicit), before reaching 100% elemental avoidances chance to avoid being ignited, without tempestshield avoid being shocked, without pantheon of the brine king avoid freezing (suffixes, implicits) 5 - +3-4 mana regenerated per second (multiplied by mystic bulwark and self discipline etc., prefix), damage taken recouped as mana (best to reliable cwdt-trigger skills, prefix) 6 - + energyshield (prefix) 7 - 2% reservation efficiencies (implicit), enemies withered by you have reduced all resi, without the dark seer sceptre minion chance to blind on hit (suffix), a good rolled +200 armour (prefix) Rare Abyss-Jewels In early levels we double rare ghastly jewels with more suffixes in the belt darkness enthroned. The Adorned The Adorned is recommended with the mageblood in lategame and the easy resis on a flask-suffix or also before with needed resis / attr on a good stygian vise or other suffixes, passives and clusters. Further a good manamanagement (80% manamultiplier on helmet and 35% increased effects on small clusters) make it easy to build in. When you have well rolled blue corrupted magic ghastly jewels, this meta-piece doubles and more their minion chance to poison to 30%. Good bleeding-avoidances for cyclone and es / mana-reg/recoup-notes are recommended. They blue ghastlys are common and cheap, so you can often snipe good ones in trade. Overall the recommended 3 abyss-jewels are also simply to craft: a fractured base or 170 alts (or Aberrant Fossils in Primitive Resonators) are needed and at last the 1/4 gambling corrupting / doublecorrupting is not too frusting. Amanamu's Gaze It stacks nice 30% more poisondamage too when you already reached high minion chance to poison with 5 ghastly jewels and curse with despair and temporal chains. The Melding of the flesh | + Max-Resis
Spoiler
This tanky jewel is most easy build in with a mageblood and a permanent sapphire flask. Also before with a stygian vise-belt in combination with the aura purity of ice and a cluster pure guile and a second cluster sublime form you can sqeeze melding of the flesh in for high poe-content. (Or before alternative the flask Taste of Hate increases your elemental ehp around 30% easy when needed in elemental-damagetypes dominated content like maven.) You raise all your elemental max-resistances to the peak by only increasing cold-resistances with aegis aurora, a sapphire flask, winter prowler, impossible escape or purity of ice. Because the Allstars path much along clusters and especially small clusters, they are fast able to mount up resistances and to reach 85% or also fulltanky 89% all elemental resistances - that is impressive doubling their already infinitive** elemental ehp. Yes, you will facetank all elemental attacks like Maven's spells. But against penetration effects of shaper or eater it's not that much effective . With the third large cluster and more medium/ small clusters it's getting more easy to cap 89% resis. You can swap the element cold- to the needed lightning- and fire-resistances at the harvest-craftings-bench. You need

Necro: the Occultist-ascendancy like "Void Beacon" for raw damage or also Necro's "Bone barrier" with ghost reaver for es-leech are valuable. Alternative "Profane Bloom" adds best clearspeed in high density. Duelist: The gladiator's "More than skill" blocks. Guardian: Build in Hierophant`s-ascendancies like "Sanctuary of Thoughts" for Mana-management and es. Alternative "Conviction of Power" adds endurcance charges and for graven`s secret belt power charges or the Inquisitor`s "Sanctuary" stationary consecrated ground for reg and curse-immunities. Pathfinder: Dead Eyes`s "Gathering Winds" or the Warden's "Mother`s Teaching" are interesting. Trickster: Assasin`s "Unstable Infusion" adds power charges when you use Graven`s secret. Balance of Terror or Glorious Vanity: Withers Balance of Terror, in sanctums farmable, is useable for full withers with "inflict withered" + selfcasting despair. Glorious Vanity transforms a passive to the ritual of shadows for chances to wither too. There are many great glorious vanities available. The mandatory transformed notable ritual of shadows is very, very common. Sometimes it's also better to use a different jewelslot (in the scion- or templar-area etc.) to use also the remaining original mystic bulwark with high manaregenerations. There are great notables like spell-suppression, blockings, +max-cold-resis etc. available and you can simulate the transformations with https://vilsol.github.io/timeless-jewels In maps a Sin's Rebirth-flask does their job. Elegant Hubris The timeless jewel offers the transformed passive skill "slum lord" with 80% increased miniondamage. When you are very lucky to get a very rare one with i.e. "Commissioned 128880 coins to commemorate Caspiro" it transforms even up to 3x passives to slum lords and 240% miniondamage. High ailment avoidances, spell suppression and endurance charges, increased armour, mana-reg, power charges for graven's secret and more can be traded for the needed passives too.

Thread of Hope: Keystones You can insert it with large radius in the templar area to fast activate the keynotes Divine Shield and Glancing Blows, 2x points Sovereignity and Redemption. Also great with storm brands for runebinder. In the shadow area a massive radius reaches lethe shade.

Whenever you need urgent str or dex or es slot it into your last jewel sockets. Best energy in slot with ES and Int, or when needed ES and Str /Dex. For one you will get around +250 ES. Brutal Restraint: Flask-uptimes denoted to dekhara in the akhara of Balbala transforms a keystone into "the traitor". Using limited 3-4 flasks will raise their uptime much. Other transformed passives are more flask-charges with Alchemist's Genius and onslaught on kill. Not recommended

Calamitous vision also for the nice 25% more damage not easy to use. Aspect of the spider and Arctic armour and outbalanced aura-clusters and passives don't compensate the tankyness of auras in medium and high budget. Energised Armour can stack 100% increased armour in the templar area. Unnatural Instinct is useable it in the witch-area for 2% unreserved mana, 8% poisonchance and 2% spellblock (especially for a better manamanagement).

You want rare large clusters everytime with 8 passives and 2 jewel slots. Mandatory the most wanted 2 skills have to be positioned on 1 and 3 in the cluster-stats, not at position 2. While levelling a cheap 8-passives with only 1 notable is already recommended to insert more medium clusters of "pure agony". Pathing into the fourth large cluster also without voices can be valuable. The cheap voices #5 passives granting nothing are valuable early. 1. Best HoA-Damage: 1-3x Voices With this large cluster you turn much more flexible in use of medium clusters and jewels and improve damage to 85 and more virulences. Also 1-2 cheap voices #5 passives granting nothing are often favourized for damage. They are recommended when you catched a fitting unique medium cluster with pure agony and 2 additional fitting notables or before you need to travel the long journey to the next clusterslot. Since 3.16 and the nerfs to aurastackers affordable in endgame. When you are still not out of currency, buy & switch in 1-3x large voices clusters: Adds #3/1 small passive skill which grants nothing. You reach the capacity of 7-9 medium cluster jewels with 7-9 x Pure Agony up to 97 stacks of virulences. 2. Best tankyness: 1-3x large clusters Spellblock Conjured Wall, Mage Hunter In the poe.com/trade-webpage in the search- result the used skills like conjured wall, magehunter, veteran defender, etc. needs to be displayed on position 1 or 3 of the clusternotables.

Easy you can stack spellblock instead also in "Arcane guarding", "Arcane sanctuary", in unique megalomaniacs and as Jugg, Trickster, Duelist on Rainbow stride boots. Or visit in "checklist stats" --> "spellblock". 3. Chaoscluster Best only in high density: Unspeakable Gifts (stacked AoE in in combination with asenaths's gentle touch gloves) + Overwhelming malice (more withers especially in high density with many targets to crit) (+ when wanted Touch of Cruelty for a bit damage + hinders) 4. 30% Ar and Ev, +10% Resis Battle-Hardened + Master the Fundamentals are nice too.

Your flasks need a lot of love in endgame. Invest maximal into their charges of your defences. Armour, Evasion and Ward are doubled by Skin of the Lords. In maps and high density unique flasks are often the best choice. In long boss fights against Ubers rare flasks with prefixes like charges gain when hit are ordinary the better selection. For the different mageblood set-up visit the belt-section in the gear-spoiler. Utility-flasks 1) Before you've got a source of full 15 withers and before you maxed the minor pantheon of abberath, ignite removals- and immunities on the Sin's Rebirth flask are highly recommended. 2) A Granite/ Rumi's concoction flask is the second choice. 3) Until you get high recovery with aegis aurora, watcher's eye es on hit and graven's secret, a Sorrow of the Divine, combinated with a life-flask, is nice tanky. 4) Until you finalize 100% spellsupression on other spots a Quartz-flask / Soul ripper is well supporting. 5) More tankyness with a Basaltflask follows next. Unique flasks
Spoiler
Sin's Rebirth stibnite generates full withers in maps. It also optimizes your es-leech with full conversion into chaos-damage beside the great & easy ignite-immunities. Rumi's concoction is recommended when you are missing much block. You can only benefit from 1x + 1500 armour on 1 granite flask and only 1x #% increased armour-suffix. Don't take 2x same type of flasks. Iron flasks are the perfect alternative of doubled +400 es in damagepeaks when you reached high evasion and blockings. So 800 ward are recovered each 2 seconds. Elixier of the Unbroken circle add tanky endurance charges for flat ele- and phys-damagereductions. Vorana's Preparation add ward, debilitations and culling strike. Taste of Hate is like tanky 25% more elemental ehp with aegis aurora. Beside cold-resis with freeze-immunities you can use early the arakaali-pantheon until you use the melding of the flesh. Soul Ripper offers the possibility to use a lot more often the vaal skills beside spell suppress and phasing. You get vaal discipline with a regeneration of 3000 ES/sec on almost each mob and double times in the boss arena. So it's a great alternative for mapping. Consumes 50-80 charges is optimal, so you can combine soul and flask rechargerate for optimal use of 2 vaal skills. (Don't take "consumes 49 charges on use" or less: they are not enough to fill the 50 souls of one vaal skill. Take only -10 - +20 to maximal charges.) Bottled Faith is the headhunter for tanks. I don't mean the fine 10% more damage, I mean the killing d.o.t. & degen our high defences don't work against. Here we need regeneration. Take the optimal Bottled Faith to not miss the consecrated ground with big and beautifull increased area. 50% reduced curse effects are op beside. Need to be used together with 2 passives for the keystone Zealot's Oath. Best useable as Guardian and Jugg. Expensive endgame-gear. Use a sorrow of the divine-flask until you get an aegis aurora and a watcher's eyes with es on hit. The Sorrow of the Divine slowly regenerates around 60% against dot- and degen-damagetypes (on the small holy ground) and beside lifeflasks become useable as CI. A witchfire in maps is a tasty battledrink. Especially recommended when you need urgent a free skillgem-socket. We need mandatory the suffix: 1) Always first one flask with stop- and antibleeding. Versus corrupted-blood take also permament immunity on a jewel's implicit. 2) The second effective flask-suffix is increased armour. And more...
Spoiler
3) Missing ailment-immunities, curse-immunities, added resistances to overcap resis or increased movementspeed are welcomed too. 4) Before you maxed the minor pantheon of abberath ignite removals- and immunities on the Sin's Rebirth flask or on a suffix are recommended. Es-leech "of draining" add a bit recovery with ball lightning of static lvl 20 and tempestshield. It's best buffed and optimized in combination with the damage-conversion of the Sin's Rebirth flask. With storm burst increased castspeed buffs up with the watcher's eye es on hit and stacks faster high HoA-virulences. Alternative an onslaught-flask is great for cast- and movementspeed. Rare elemental and basalt-flasks against bosses
Spoiler
Use always the elemental- and basalt flask against: ■ A Rubin Flask against Exarch, Sirius, Atziri ■ A Sapphire- / Taste of hate-flask against Shaper, Elder, Uber Elder, Maven, Aul ■ A Topaz- / Vessel of Vinktar-flask against Eater of Worlds, Maven, Sirus ■ A Basalt Flask against Shaper, Sirius, Eater Take a sapphire-flask with anti-freeze against Shaper etc. with their freezing-attacks when you not reached already 100% freeze immunities. Or simply the brine-king-pantheon. Prefixes
Spoiler
Flask-prefix "Masochist's` / 'Flagellant's' / Sinner's " gain 2-4 charge when you are hit by an enemy" are the best. Also blocked hits/ spellhits count as been "hit". Or roll the t1 flask-prefixes: - 28% reduced charges are used best on: basalt, quicksilver, silver, gold, iron flasks - 38% increased duration is best on: bismuth, sapphire, ruby, topaz, basalt, stibnite flasks (only as pathfinder: - 47% increased charge recovery best on: granite, jade, quartz flasks) They are mandatory for many charges in long-boss-fights, swap unique flasks out against bosses. Quality Get high flask-qualities. Last use vaal orbs for the chance of best increased +30% flask-qualities. Trigger Use instilling orbs and your crafting bench to autotrigger your flasks "reused at end of this flask-effect", "when you become ignited", "when you start bleeding", and the ward-flask "when you hit an unique monster" etc. ... Mageblood flask-set-up
Spoiler
Mageblood further enables to use 70% flasks-effects with instilling orbs and to roll the increased effect-prefix for total 95% added effects. Granite-, jade- and iron-flasks (up to +1000 es) are great doubled buffed with 100% increased global defences of Skin of the Lords. Using a permanent Quartz flask adds 29% spell suppression in combination with the suppression-phasing-mastery to cap and fix 100% spell suppression. A permanent sapphire flask of the rainbow let you raise up to +9% max cold-resis for reaching awesome 89% all elemental max-resis with the jewel melding of the flesh. Special flasks
Spoiler
On maps with the No-Mana-Recovery-Mod you have to take in an enduring-mana bottle and must map slow. Or simply prefer to reroll this mapmod. When you activated tempest shield or are 100% ailment/shock-immune, the Vessel of Vinktar increases damage with shocks beside less lightning damage taken. Best are the max effect with it's increased shock-effects and proliferation suffix. High interesting also in combination with the keystone Ghost reaver for 800 es/sec es-leech. When you use arakaali's fang 1 flask of writhing jar is reserved to raise 20 spiders. Use 2x unearth/ desecrate, channel storm burst or use an aoe, 1× writhing jar to let them dance. Offer 15 withers and clearspeed. A quicksilver-flask is very effective with more movementspeed. More alternative flasks: Kiara's Determination is a nice cocktail of ailments-avoidances for levelling. A silver "onslaught" flask adds movementspeed and castspeed + HoA-virulences while levelling. Lion's Roar is fine to knockback the mobs out of your frostshield and to get full 60% damagereduction of your cleaned up shield. Dying sun is interesting when you channel projectile-skills. The Grasping Nightshade Sporebloom tincture adds withers and vines. Ascendancy | Bandits | Pantheon
Spoiler
Bandits: First: Alira ---> Then: Lunch for the crawler
Spoiler
For relaxed gearing and levelling it's a good idea to help Alira for resis. Because the Allstars wear mostly unique gear, don't path before much resis on the tree and later stack much resis on the cluster-transferpassives, in early game Alira is very helpful. With good crafts, jewels and clusters, take simply one additional ghastly jewel with resis or a small cluster sublime form and kill them all. You want the passive point. Around lvl 90-97, bring 1x Onyx amulet and 20x orbs of regret to a vendor for 1 passive point. Orbs of fusing can be changed to orbs of chance by Clarissa in the City of Sarn act 8. 8x orbs of chance can be changed to 2x orbs of scouring to 1x orb of regret i.e. by the vendors Petarus and Vanja in Highgate to get the passive instead resis. Instead Alira i.e. a +2 max cold-resis / + 30 all resis rare jewel is for taste of hate / melding of the flesh in place more valuable. Pantheon:

Stack minimum 80% chance to poison in the passivetree to get more HoA damage with maximal virulences like shown in the spoiler "the composition of damage" Moving style | until 100 HoA-virulences cyclone (lvl1)- (awakened) cast while channelling (lvl 5) - tornado of elemental turbulence (lvl 1) - ball lightnings of orbiting ( / - ball lightning of static) (lvl 1)
Spoiler
Cyclone, channeling tornados of turbulences and ball lightning of orbiting, is in maps smooth for best movement, for best damage-uptime, for dodging many attacks and spells and whirling away from aoe`s. Relaxing, continuous and also ranged es on hit, withers and virulences are produced nonstop. But against lonely singletargets it only fits until continuous 100 virulences. Above you need to combinate it with autotriggered more ball lightnings of static, voidspheres, storm brands or other skills. ■ High bleeding avoidances are recommended with abyss-jewels, high flask-uptimes, on a flask-suffix permanent with mageblood, ring-implicits, tattoos or with steelskin or the minor pantheon of ralakesh. ■ Cyclone is only with 1-handed-melee-weapon-types, like the +2 dark seer sceptre or the +2 maalach`s teaching sceptre. Cyclone is not possible with wands. When you want to autotrigger more skills with a triggerweapon use the tradefilter: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Necropolis/6rgGBgXcG ■ Onslaught as ring-implicit is recommended for more moventspeed with cyclone. When you prefer to combat complete meleestyle, cycloning and whirling or use other slow skills, I advice to balance out the peaks above 95 virulences of 1-2x medium clusters pure agony instead to HoA-levels and different damage- and virulences-scaling:

Spoiler
The Herald of Agony is probably the most valuable poison-damage-trigger in whole poe for all fast hitting spells and skills. The Allstars stack unmatched flexibility for triggering high damage with unending possibilities in the whole poe-skill-system. Many skills in poe were multiple nerfed or were never valuable introduced and designed as mainskills. The Allstars are able to use their remained hidden capacities and sting them instead with the dirty tail of the crawling killer. Body-swaps, cyclone, void spheres, storm bursts and many more forgotten attacks turn full of worth in this build. You are able to balance them with hundreds of combinations into your individual different aspects. Rules of thumb Singletarget you stack around 10 virulences with tempestshield, 30 with three thrown storm brands or voidsphere, 40 with ball lightning, 60 with 3 tornados of elemental turbulences and above 100 combinations with stormbursts.

We can use in this build best cast while channelling, cast when stunned, automation support, triggered curses with hextouch or vixens entrapement-gloves, triggerweapons /wands, cast when damage taken and arcanist brands.

Spelltotems 15 Withers spell totem - multiple totems - wither Bane bane - despair- temporal chains Cursed ground support ... interesting to prepare curses against almost stationary bosses like exarch, cortex Spellslinger (projectiles and wand required) and with Cyclone Battlemage's Cry are useable too. Do not forget: - Frost shield needs around 0.5 seconds manually casted, it is not instant, so take it better on cws or cwc for instanttriggering. - I personally for myself prefer instant skill molten shell manually casted. Other players push it on cwdt. The dirty scorpion-tail - Supports and Mana of Herald of Agony
Spoiler
This is the center of millions of damage. It scales heavy with skill-gem-level-increasement of empower and awakened gems. Best balanced 6 skills are: You want always Herald of Agony, awakened minion damage and empower (lvl 4), all for their optimal relations of damage, increasing HoA-skill-levels to 28/29/34 and their reserved mana. In maps you want always pierce, returning projectiles or awakened fork. Gem-Colors Combination | Different Skills | Increased Mana Reserved | Damage Herald of Agony (Lvl 21, Quality 23) | Awakened Minion Damage | (Awakened) Empower lvl 4 | Awakened Void manipulation | Awakened Unbound Ailments | Awakened Vicious Projectiles | mapping: Awakened Fork / Pierce / singletarget: Predator / Vile Toxin / Damage on full life Best stinging and fitting are the compositions: 1) 3g, 2b, 1r (mapping) 2) 2g, 1r, 3b (bossing with predator) 3) 4g, 1r, 1b 4) 2g, 2r, 2b 5) 3g, 2r, 1b Much lower damage and not recommended are: 0g 0r 0b 3r 4b 6g Etc. Perfect for high-density: Pierce, green, low 120%, is best used in dungeon-designs through doors and floors, etc. Awakened fork (green, 130%) is b.i.s. to oneshoot 35 targets instead pierce. Or further added into the combination with chain/ pierce for up to 91 projectiles in low content. Best in open designed maps and breaches. Returning Projectiles Support (high 150%, green) is great with other doubled on hit effects like summoned phantasms and withering touchs. Awakened chains always hit. Interesting in combination with a hydrosphere to chain 20% added damage. Best for boss-hunting: Predator / Signal Prey, 130%, offer as another blue gem most damage against bosses, but is slow multitarget. More ai, more damage-uptime. Needs to mark the boss. Awakened Vicious projectiles is almost everytime best choice. Awakened void manipulation (green, 130% increased skillreservation) is best in 100% chaos conversion. Somewhere around 80% minionpoisonchance Awakened Unbound Ailments (low 120%) deal most high, but two seconds slower, the poison damage. Effective for the best poison-dot-damage until the cap 35M is reached. Awakened unbound ailments is effective until thumbed total 100M damage, above it's switched out against other HoA-supports. Damage on full life (red, 130%) offers best damage for a red socket and is in maps faster and better as unbound ailments or vile toxins. Vile toxins (green, 130%), is high damage, but a second slower building up the stacks. It is like Predator recommended in place of pierce for singletarget bosshunting. Withering Touch (130%) fills one more green sockets in case of emergency for 2-4 more withers. Best for tanky levelling and legions: Summon Phantasms, low 120%, is like pierce or in place of pierce a strong support for tanky levelling and legions. They can taunt, hinder and block a lot attacks as meat shields. As downside they use capacities of your frostshield and chain projectiles. Best with one cluster "blessed rebirth" (and "renewal"). Phantasms support is optimized with returning projectiles and withering touch for many hits. ==》 Take a look in the spoiler "Variants": "Harry Potter Senior & the Airforce 11". Leaguestart & honorable mentions
Spoiler
Point blank (green, 110%) and convocating the crawler face to face to the enemies is good for the low mana-multiplier. In difficult content you too often enjoy to keep range. Chance to poison (130%, green) could be used instead the recommended ghastly jewels. Enhance (green, 130%) or Maim supports (red, 130%) are possible for starting the league. (Awakened) Added fire damage (red, 120%) with the ignites of raze and pillage. You loose much damage, use it only when you need urgent the low manamultiplier. Hypothermia support (green, 130 %) is interesting for tanky freezings with 3W+1G sockets triad grips when you have also a way to reliable chill - with "Chilling Presence" on a cluster, cwc coldsnap, hatred, skitterbots, other frost skills like frostshield, frostblink, frostbite, or an aquamarine-flask. Faster attacks and Minion speed are nice in lower levels. In higher levels they offer not much because the HoA gets already a lot attackspeed in high virulences. Increased critical damage could scale up HoA-crits in lategame. Convocation
Spoiler
When your Herald miss the doors again in dungeons use convocation to summon him in the mandatory line of sight and into proximity shields of mobs. The gem is hidden in the 7th white vendor-tab. Not needed against big bosses. Switch it out to other useful skills like void sphere etc. Auras
Spoiler
Determination - Tempest Shield- Vaal Discipline – Grace I advice to activate your auras in the order: 1) determination: mandatory against high physical-damage 2) tempest shield: the poisoning lightning-blockings also automatical trigger 10-15 virulences for much autotriggered HoA-damage-uptime and qol. 3) discipline: because Vaal Discipline is also our immortal-mod with high es-recovery as CI. 4) grace: great recovery with the ghost dance keystone, also much tankyness in high density beside optimizing the capacities of the guard-skills molten shell and frostshield for the big hits. With adjustements purity of ice for melding of the flesh 85% maxresis, blood and sand for 25% flat dr nearby, or purity of elements, are possible to switch and squeeze in. Tanky skills and Vaal skills
Spoiler
1) Mandatory: Molten shell (with high armour ordinary best guardian skill) 2) Mandatory: Vaal discipline is like the life flask for CI's against all damagetypes - that is like 8 seconds immortality in ordinary content 3) Recommended: Frost shield (lvl 12-20, best cws-triggered or selfcasted for facetanking, the es-draining is countered with es on hit or es on block of aegis aurora) 4) Void sphere (interruptions) 5) Temporal chains (mix of damage and tankyness) 6) Cwdt lvl1 /or Cws lvl20 - Frost wall lvl 1 (tankyness) 7) Vaal molten shell is best as back-up, especially against uber shapers bullet hell and exarch`s 1000 suns 8) Enfeeble (tankyness) 9) When you head for the tanky road with mageblood or as pathfinder with 100% flask-uptime and resi-flasks, melding of the flesh vaal purity of ice for 90% maxresis Not least: Vaal lightning trap increases 15% damage. Vaal skills cannot be triggered, you have to cast them manually. Curses and Withers
Spoiler
You can use all hex-curses, but only one mark. 1) Despair high damage 2) Temporal Chains adds more poisondamage and some tankyness Alternatives with the Anathema ring, Vixens gloves, Windscreams boots, etc. : 3) Enfeeble high tankyness 4) Punishment mix of damage + tankyness 5) Sniper's mark damage, splitting projectiles 6) Assassin's mark grant power charges for HoA-crits and the graven's secret belt against bosses 7) Poacher's mark manaleech with cyclone and HoA-damage 8) Alchemist's mark flask-charges and a bit damage Withers Use sin's rebirth / the balance of terror / glorious vanity. Visit --> "the composition of agony" and "jewels". Movement
Spoiler
Take the movement and blink-skill you like most! All movementskills works! Take only 1 "blink" - skill or you get into problems sometimes with their blink-cooldowns. 2 x "movement" is okay, flamedash's first charge is okay too. Endgame / Bossing I myself prefer whithering step + flame dash (first charge instant + HoA-virulences) Levelling Shield charge + Withering step Speedmapping You can combine phase run or shield charge, no blink-cd, and frostblink well. Frostblink is the best instant blinkskill not interrupting channeling cwc against bosses. Alternatives Cwc frostblink of wintry blast, channelled lightning warps or unearth + bodyswaps are nice for the mix of HoA-virulences and movement. Take the one you like and prefer! Keybindings / Controls
Spoiler
What are examples for keybindings and controls? All methods work. For different gamers different keybindings are best and different triggers or manually selfcasted skills fits in individualized ways to different playstyles and content. Choose your keys intuitive for your own style! For example I personally prefer: Left 1. mouse: movement Middle Mouse button: arcanist brand Right 2. Mouse button: flamedash / shield charge Q cyclone, storm burst or ball-lightnings (hold down, press nonstop) W withering step (movementspeed, damage, instant skill) E molten shell (our most important layer of defense, instant skill) R vaal discipline (our final recovery, when there are no blockable, not wick warded and not physical damagetypes to be divine shielded) T despair (or vaal molten shell etc.) Space bar convocation (or predator / signal prey) Frost shield on cws is only our backup for cooldowns of all other defensive skills and for facetanking. Autotriggered instant skill. HoAg and all auras: discipline (for es), determination (for ar and es/block), grace (for ev): on 2. alternative keys with Ctrl key. You need to activate them only one time. When you need a free key for another skill: change "spacebar" and/ or other keys in settings/ options as new key instead one ctrl-key and multiple activate your auras manually with ctrl BUT: Take the keys you like! Everyone likes another key-binding! Level and quality of gems

Lvl 21 Maximal gemlevel 21 is very useful on: Herald of Agony, Frost Shield, Withering Step, Sniper's mark, with melding of the flesh Purity of Ice and take max lvl 4 empower. 1 HoA/ empower-support lvl is around 15% damage-multiplier. Limited Lvl 1 You limit mana-costs for active skills and against elemental reflection mods like cyclone, tornados, ball lightning, storm brand, convocation, storm burst to Lvl 1, quality 20 in endgame when you don't use es-leech. But max them while levelling or when you use es-leech for the damage. When you are missing some strength, limit molten shell to a lower lvl. The 75% damagereduction of full 5000 shell remain. Quality 23% is recommended for more virulences for the Herald of agony lvl 21 gem Quality 20-23 is best scaled on withering step, storm burst, molten shell, cast when stunned. Of course max in lategame the quality of all your sklls with the Ashes of the stars-amulet for another +30%.

After the quest The Siren's Cadence a fast hitting chaos- or poisonskill in combination with poisonchances, withering step, and curses is used until act 10 and early maps. Poisonous Concoction teams up awesome with Herald of Agony. When you stacked enough defences and recovery switch out life on hit. poisonous concoction - life on hit - volley (-> greater volley support) - chance to poison (/ - lesser -> greater multiple projectiles - void manipulation / unbound ailments) And / Or: Storm brand (lvl1) - Chance to poison ( / - Faster casting) With using storm brands (or void spheres, ball-lightnings or storm bursts too) you stack up virulences to raise your crawler and damage. You need to link storm burst to poison support for the mandatory chaos-component in damage. You can move faster as with other skills and uninterrupted. Throw your flasks, brands, orbs and spheres and just move on. Cast poisonous concoction, when you want to move in boss-fights cast 3x storm brands also. / or inverse: Cast some storm brands. When you want more damage and on bosses cast poisonous concoction, / storm burst / void sphere too. When you start early with Herald of Agony, link your attacks like poisonous concoction + storm brand to "chance to poison support" to generate maximal HoA-virulences. Head soon to 25% poisonchances of "Serpentine Spellslinger" and 25% in "Fatal Toxins" and 20% more in "Whipsers of Doom" in the curse-mastery for also 2 curses. As champ & jugg path fast to "Toxic Strikes" and "Swift Venoms". Then switch the "chance to poison" supportgem out and slot in for attacks greater multiple projectiles or for spells faster casting etc. or change with stormburst to a cast while channelling-setup. Buff the damage with 2 curses despair and temporal chains, with withering step and when wanted an onslaught-flask. Alternative Storm Burst

Of course you can skill the slower HoA in whenever you want. The Herald will get faster with the gemlevels and ascendancies, the first minion-mastery Ravenous Horde or Redemption powering Unholy Might, as soon you get or craft clusters with pure agony, ghastly jewels with minion chance to poison on hit, and a weapon like CIP, Dark Seer or United in Dreams. Herald of Agony is levelling a bit slow, but a very relaxing and safe minion build. The crawler You can get the core-skill HoA first time in end of act 3 in the library in the imperial gardens after completing the quest "A Fixture of Fate" by Siosa.

But never, never forget: take a lot of movementspeed-supports with shield charge ( - faster attacks), withering step, a quicksilver flask or silver onslaught-flask, wanderlust boots, etc. and run if you want straight through all acts! The crawler cleans up your path of agony with his unique range of stinging! Flasks + Defences + Recovery Act 1-10
Spoiler
On the defensive site you should choose until transforming to CI / level 68 / getting gear: 1) Flasks Take an instant lifeflask "of the cure" and a hybridflask beside and upgrade them. A granite flask for armour and a quicksilver flask are recommended. Take a resis flask-suffix or a bismuth flask for supporting resis. Increase further the damage and virulences and with them the damage of your HoA and your es on hit with more speed of a silver onslaught-flask. 2) Don't forget 75% elemental resistances. Stack full cold-resis against the boss end of act I, lightning-resis act II, fire-resis in act III. Take when needed resistances on jewels, benchcrafts, in the tree, and when wanted for more easy lazy gearing also Alira's bandit reward and regret them later. 3) Recovery Path early the strong passives "Clever Thief". For facetanks skill life gained on hit-support linked to poisonous concoction. In the masteries on the tree damage recouped as life, life-leech, es-leech, es gained when you suppress spell damage are activated. For more energyshield-recharge use 2 passives for "wicked ward" on top everytime when wanted. When you need more, gear a shield with life on block. 4) Take 1 and later even 2 guardian skills: □ start with steelskin □ switch as soon as you receive it to immortal call lvl 3 triggered with cwdt level 1 □ until you get in higher determination-aura-levels a big, b.i.s. molten shell □ and as CI also beside a second frostshield for facetanking 5) Skills and trigger A strong trigger-set is cast when damage taken autotriggering void sphere (HoA-virulences and interruptions), with a curse (despair) and a guardian skill (immortal call or steelskin) cwdt lvl 1 (/ cws) - void sphere - immortal call lvl 3 (/ or steelskin) - despair Cast when stunned proccs best on high skilllevels. On lower gemlevels, cwdt triggers better if you want to optimize. Skills like withering step and enduring cry are tanky too. A frostshield and void sphere selfcasted for cc, interruptions, distractions add further a lot tankyness. 6) Activate soon a suppression mastery "chance to suppress spell damage is lucky" is in the early game the most tanky passive point to spend. 7) Wait with "the golden rule"-jewel until you transform to chaos-immunity, you reflect the poison and bleedings to yourself. Or gear before against singletargets the helmet Maw of the Conquest or Kahuturoa's Certainty boots to be unaffected by poison. ==》 In the spoiler "checklist for defences" are all other important layers of defences ranked. Mana and Auras
Spoiler
Take early some mana on hit in "clever thief" and path soon to the mana- and -reservation masteries: "mystic bulwark" / "presage" / "sovereignity" / "influence" Use early manaregeneration in the mana-mastery "mystic bulwark" or damage recouped as mana or the aura "clarity", limited lowlevel, beside a hybridflask. Use early clusters and activate first the aura determination and stack it with a granite flask for armour. Then for more HoAg uptime and already full spellblock activate tempestshield. You can use also early the vaal-skills like vaal discipline without activating the auras. I advice to activate your auras in the order: 1) determination: mandatory against high physical-damage 2) tempest shield: the poisoning lightning-blockings also automatical trigger around 10-15 virulences for much autotriggered HoA-damage-uptime and a lot qol. 3) grace: great recovery with the ghost dance keystone, also much tankyness in high density beside optimizing the capacities of the guard-skills like molten shell and frostshield for the big hits. 4) discipline: because Vaal Discipline is also our immortal-mod with high es-recovery as CI. As long as you are missing manareservation efficiencies take 3 passives for the way to "presage" and use "uncompromising", 1-2x "sublime form" and "self-control" on small clusters and skill efficiencies on a rare amulet. Or don't activate tempestshield and use more blockings in arcane sanctuary plus stone of lazwhar amulet. ==》 A lot other workarounds for mana are guided in the spoiler "manamanager". Dex!!
Spoiler
Priorize enough dex on your gear and jewels for everytime full levelled force of your Herald. Choose dex- and str-gear and accessoires as campaign-rewards when you need more required dex and str. When you are missing some attributes required by HoAg maximal skill- and supportlevels, activate utmost intellect with the attributes mastery for additional dex (or str) when needed too. Or use the unique jewel "inertia" or a "split personality" to solve all attr-problems. ![]() Follow your ascendancy in the labs.
Spoiler
Take in the ascendancies trials labyrinth as your minor Pantheon Soul of Ralakesh for bleeding-immunity when you are unused to the traps, use all movement-skills and stack some armour on granite- and basalt-flasks against Izaro. Add in endurance charges with enduring cry when you are underlevelled or undergeared. Roll blue skillgems at the Divine font for the transfigured gem ball lightning of orbiting / of static. Clusters
Spoiler
Start first, around lvl 40, with a cluster with the notable "Uncompromising" to get your determination and for 5-6 linked HoAg and Resis up. Then after let the medium damageclusters with "pure agony" follow. You get a cluster with only 1x pure agony, without additional second notables, often cheap for starting. Third and last the large clusters enable more jewelslots, minionpoisonchances, auras, and the fullblock-editions. ==》 When you want craft cluster jewels yourself, it is guided in "important mechanics". Self crafted clusters are often only around 1/3 price compared to prices in trading. ![]() __________________________________ Levelling gear 3 --> 4 --> 5 --> 6 --> 7 links
Spoiler
The Shortlist of recommended HoA levelling gear ==》 Take a look for a complete list of cheap starter-gear with all poetradelinks in the last spoiler of the build and into the item-sets-tabs of the pob. Somewhere some miniondamage, +1 to minion/physical/chaos/spell-gemlevels, autotriggered curses on hit, and skill-efficiencies and reduced mana-reservations are fine favourized as well as maximum sockets for all valuable skills and supports. When you stashed your first alchemy- /vaal- or chaos-orbs get one of the cheapest recommendations in trade: Lvl 1: Wanderlust boots Lvl 1: Goldrim leather cap for needed resis Lvl 10 / 12 and further: Recommended: Vaal summon skeletons or Vaal absolution, burstdamage and meatshields Lvl 40: Recommended: Small cluster Sublime form + Uncompromising Lvl 40: Recommended: 5 / 6 link body armour Stygian Vise belt: resis, jewel-slot) Lvl 48-66: Recommended: Abyss jewels: minion chance to poison to hit, corrupted blood immunities, attributes, resis Lvl 50: Recommended: The Embalmer gloves - nice second 5-links for HoA or Poisonous concoction for 2 alchs Lvl 50: The Black Cane sceptre for doubled damage of storm burst with phantasms for 1 alch Lvl 52-64: Recommended: Circle of Nostalgia Lvl 52: Recommended: Ynda's stand belt, autorecovery ward with ar+ev-bodyarmour, 2 fusings Lvl 53: Recommended: Rainbow strides boots, high spellblock for 1 chaos Lvl 53: Arakaali's Fang (withering touchs, clearspeed) Lvl 54: Recommended: Medium clusters Pure agony Lvl 58: Recommended: The Ghastly Theatre shield, great starter shield, physical aegis dr, bleeding immunity, with 1 alch t12-ready Lvl 62: Cold Iron point dagger is optimal as cheap starting HoA-weapon. Lvl 62: Recommended Aegis Aurora t16-ready (or before Apep's slumber) Lvl 64: Recommended Replica Alpha Howl: +4 HoA-lvls / 5-links / low-budget empower Lvl 68 Recommended: Rumi's concoction flask: armour + blocks Lvl 68: Graven's secret belt with Assassin's mark / power charge on critical strike for more recovery Not fix lvl: Skin of the Lords/ Loyals, Darkness Enthroned belt Starting-Gear: Budget & Leaguestart
Spoiler
Lower budget starting-gear for Levels 70-97 for example is: Or also ... Budget & Leaguestart: Shields or armours can be expensive like in other builds, but there are alternatives and you want best in slot only around t12 / Level 90. Gear becomes cheaper after some days after league-start. □ Take cheap and simply a rare body-armour with high ar+ev combinated with Ynda's stand belt □ The alternative HoA-helmet +4 Replica Alpha's howl, the +8 Crest of desire or body-armour Pragmatism for easy HoA-manamanagements, or Victario's Influence, carry you relaxed into the yellow t-10 maps also. □ Use a simple Skin of the Loyals as long you are missing the corrupted gems or use better use the most cheap Skin of the Lords with cheap neutral keystones. The armours Kintsugi, The Queen's Hunger, Cospri's Will, Lioneye's Vision, Dendrobate, Loreweave, Brass Dome, Inascendant Heart, The Coming Calamity for wearing alternative rings, Shavronne's wrappings to wait with CI-transformation or Dialla's Malefaction are good starters too. □ Use rare gloves with poison support for free sockets. Or use Asenath's/ Vixen's Entrapement for ES and curses. □ Use the cheap Rainbowstride boots for capped spellblock. □ Use / beastcraft a unique flask "Rumi's Concoction" for blockings. □ Use damage on full life-support in red sockets before empower. □ Use a cheap rare amulet with attributes, ES, resistances, stats like aura-skill-efficiency, you can apply an additional curse or +1 dex / chaos / phys gems or cheap aul's early. □ Cheap anoints for a levelling amulet are "instinct" for spell suppression or "sanctuary" for blockings and resis. ![]() So the Agonyca Arachnophilia Allstars are a bit slow, but a well balanced leaguestart-build in high defences of the auras and witchkills and in offensives with one of the strongest minion skills working also in starter gear impactfull. __________________________________ Path on ...
Spoiler
Before you get your first few alchemy- and chaos-orbs, the medium clusters with pure agony and circles of nostalgias for using more auras, and core-uniques of a CI like aegis aurora, there will be some levels in which it's not easy to balance your defences, recovery and damage. Be prepared, don't worry and level on. Don't forget recovery and defensive stats like guided above and update your flasks. Don't take the trees to strict and balance individualized your life-, block- and minionoffense-masteries, your auras, skills and your gear as guided with the many valuable variations. Increase your tankyness with tanky skills like cwdt - frostwalls/ enfeeble or more es-passives for defences when you feel having enough damage. Buff your damage when wanted with the minion offence mastery unholy might and the next medium cluster "pure agony" or the +1 chaos-mastery. Or get a cheap lvl 21 default HoA skillgem for the fast boost and more minion chance to poison on ghastly jewels. The perfect mix always depends on your gear, your already obtained HoA-lvls, your experiences and playstyle and the content you're stinging. Level also skillgems on your weaponswap-slots with key "x". You need later corrupted gems and the empower in endgame for "Skin of the Lords" Withers and Weapon
Spoiler
Full withers almost double your damage. You can debuff best withers on bosses with: ■ withering step ■ flask Sin's rebirth ■ spelltotems - multiple totems - wither ■ in maps: vaal skeletons - withering touch - feeding frenzy ■ jewel glorious vanity + transformed notable ritual of shadows ■ Arakaali's fang with withering touch - multistrike Weapon When you dislike poisonous concoction wield weapons instead flasks: - +3 Cold iron point dagger is the cheapest strong starter before getting the Dark Seer or United in dreams. - Alternative the build starts getting fast and charming when you get the dagger arakaali's fang for clearspeed and withers. The weapon with a writhing jar-flask should be one of your first upgrades. Arakaali's Fang requires level 53. - Essence crafted spectral spirits are useable for withers alternative. - For early tanky fullblocks the Replica Advanving Fortress is taken. - For more qol use triggerweapons. ![]() CI Transformation When you start dying sometimes of chaosdamage and poison, around lvl 70-80, or when you afford the currency for the shield aegis aurora, it's your time for the last keynote Chaos Inoculation. Transform into Chaos Immunity/ CI of this build. You can use all CI-core items with pure energy-shield of the build with level 62-70 and should count 55-70% spellblockchance. As CI you need to max the minor abberath pantheon with a divine vessel, often in the summit map, for immunities against burning ground. Alternative a fire attunement cluster or burning ground-immunity-boots do it. You need also to get immunities on a jewel against corrupted blood or before against such inflicting bosses high flask-uptime / 2 flask-suffixes. No later than now use the auras determination and vaal discipline. Change out your lifeflasks, hybridflasks and lifegear and -passives, with Granite and Basaltflask use molten shell now. Take in the golden rule juwel for singletarget virulences and damage. Add Cast when stunned - frost shield as second guard skill for needed tankyness while lazy facetanking. Welcome into your new life in immunity to chaos! CI-Recovery The cheap combination of a Ynda`s stand - belt and a high armour + evasion - bodyarmour stacks 2000 - 4000 ward automatical recovered each 2 seconds until you get an aegis aurora, a watcher's eye with es on hit or graven's secret. For further more active es-recovery use Enduring cry together with 2 passives for the keystone Zealot's Oath on the tree. Or use instead a sorrow of the divine-flask with an added life-flask to recover es. As guardian activate right now also the keystone "Zealoth's Oath", as Jugg get "Zealot's Oath" best on a Skin of the lords as keystone. As Trickster use "Wicked Ward". Temporal rift, a Soul Ripper to spam vaal dicipline in maps, or a Vessel of Vinktar flask together with the keystone ghost reaver are useable as alternatives. Pure damage For more damage, resis and attributes head always early to the next medium clusters with "pure agony" and to the next minion chance to poison on ghastly jewels. ![]() Last edited by Chromino on Sep 7, 2024, 1:59:37 PM

Spoiler
In this build you have around 75 suffixes, implicits and slots on clusters, jewels, boots to use and of course all the flexible tattoos. 2 strong synthesis-implicits on the rings, 2-3 strong aura-mods on the watcher's eye, passives, flasks, the flexible pantheon, the cluster-notables, the amulet-anoint, and one keystone on SoL are combined to cap your resis and spell suppression, to get the needed attributes and skill-efficiencies as well as to stack recovery, full ailment-immunities, es or to balance in skillgems for damageuptime and qol and more utilities. As prefixes we want energyshield, or good rolled mana-regenerations or good rolled armour. Suffixes & Prefixes & Implicits
Spoiler
Rare gearpieces usually have 3 prefixes, 3 suffixes and in this build 2 eldritch implicits. Corrupted unique gear can have up to 2 fitting implicits. Abyss jewels can have 2-3 suffixes and 1-2 implicits. The small clusters have 2 suffixes or 1 suffix + 1 prefix on the clustertransfer-passives. Medium clusters can have up to 2 suffixes. Clustertransfers of large clusters have 1 suffix. Switch and balance overcapped stats always into other more needed stats. While gearing and levelling up use these thematic spoilers. They are designed like toolboxes whenever you need to fix and cap your stats. Fire and other ailments - Dot and degen - Bleedings - Stuns
Spoiler
As CI, without the typical life-recovery flask, ailments like burning ground, ignites, corrupted blood and bleedings can be fast lethal. Trickster and Jugg have inbuilt Freeze- and Chill-immunities, Pathfinder inbuilt ailment removals. Take a look into "details of the ascendancies". 100% elemental ailments immunities are reached in the slots and passives against special ubers, in hardcore or for simulacrums with ..... ● 100% elemental ailments (and bleeding) avoidances 35% prefix avoidances boots or 25% benchcraft + crafting with itchors eater of world 23% and further with orbs of conflict to 29% and with orbs of dominance to 32% eldritch implicit on rare boots + 20% shield-mastery + 10%-30% unique medium or small cluster skill elegant form (stackable), +25% implicit on ring circle of nostalgia / ambition, can be mirrored with kalandra's touch +50%, all suffixes and implicits of abyss jewels, can be doubled with darkness enthroned / the adorned (Alternatives: often some league-mechanics, tattoos, stats and implicits on ghastly jewels, + 50% with 100% spell suppression and the jewel ancestral vision, + 20% amulet anoint or 30% jewel impossible escape feat. elemental equilirium for Crystal skin + more stats on rings and abyss-jewels) ● or 100% shock-avoidances buffed with stormshroud:
Spoiler

Spoiler
In this set-up you need 200-250%% reduced ignite-durations or need to be careful with temporal chains, reflected curses and lethe shade. 60% minor pantheon abberath + 10-40% 1-4x on tattoos of the Ngamahu Shaman + 30% arcane sanctuary + 1-2x 25-50% flexible sentry (clusterskill, stackable) + 20-80% reduced ignite duration on rings, jewels + 50% implicit reduced duration of ailments on redeemer influenced boots/ or 30% prismatic fossil crafted + firesong jewel + poe rounds up 95% to 100% (Alternatives: 30% fire attunement cluster + 60% benchcrafted on rare unset ring +60% bubonic trail boots + 20%-30% transformed small devotion passives of the unique jewel militant faith converted by hightemplar dominus + as guardian or necro 50% pathing on tree cross Anointed flesh + 23%-50% on synthesised gloves implicit / not recommended 80% 'solipsism') ● or not recommended: the aura "purity of elements"
Spoiler
probably best granted with an aul's uprising amulet and when you want to squeeze in the jewel-variation melding of the flesh. Before ..... Elemental ailments With the poison-mastery many monstercrits do not inherently ignite, freeze or shock us. We can benchcraft high ailment-reductions against ignites, freeze, shocks and bleedings on the boots, get them 2-6x on the ghastly-jewels, on tattoos and rings or use related clusters and we have other free slots for ailment-reductions. We can double the effects on the ghastly jewels when we socket them into a darkness-enthroned belt or buff them with The Adorned. We have also 1-4 rare flask-suffixes free to choose. Craft instant counter-suffixes against ailments with instilling orbs on your flasks to optimize reactiontimes. We evade, block, and spellblock, so not many ailments by hits reach us. We halve most other incoming ailments with our spell suppression. We can use on top the suppression-mastery to total avoid ailments from suppressed spell-damage. When tanky geared we recoup 60% elemental damage of the ailment-triggering hits with the belt graven's secret. Only aoe's and weird mods and debuffs remain dangerous. Fire Our armour and block don't work on heavy, critical Ignites. Ignites will kill you in 500+ levels of deep delve, T16 legions and at juiced exarch-altars. We have a bad stacking of Ignites also in the first second of staging up our frostshield and our es don't start recharging on burning ground. So we choose urgent the burning-gound-immunities and reduced Ignites in the Pantheon Minor God Soul of Abberath. Ignite immunities on jewels or benchcrafted on rare gear or ignite-removals on a Sin's Rebirth-flask or flask-suffix are optimal beside until you arrive at the needed 100% full avoidances. A cluster "fire attunement" against burning ground is strong before you maxed your minor pantheon of abberath. Freeze For important permament anti-chain freeze against shaper, ueber-elder, the hidden, etc. get "freeze-reductions" in for these fights benchcrafted on boots or change your pantheon to "Soul of the Brine King". We can activate the es-mastery to not be frozen when es started recharging recently or use a cluster "hibernator" or anti-freeze sapphire-flask. Tricksters and Juggs are immune with their ascendancies "one step ahead" and "unstoppable". Shocks Extreme dangerous, often they are the reason of oneshots. We are 100% immune when we use tempest shield. scorch, sap, brittle, ee, exposures With 30% overcapped elemental resistances we are prepared against scorch, ee and exposures. Sap and brittle do not affect us. Physical ailments B.i.s. geared you can defend a lot with the Divine Shield-keystone on Skin of the Lords. Bleeding Deadly when moving. We need mandatory bleed-immunity on one flask. In endgame the flask-suffix reach 100% uptime with mageblood. Mandatory when you are cycloning. Alternative we get 100% bleeding-avoidances on abyss-jewels, one socketed into the darkness enthroned-belt for doubled effect and one in the tree. Or 100% are obtained with the synthesised implicit on one circle of Nostalgia ring, boots, the boots' eldritch-implicit, the readiness cluster-notable, with steelskin as guard-skill or with the minor pantheon of ralakesh. The divine shield keystone on a skin of the lords is recommended as b.i.s. keystone against bleedings too. Corrupted Blood I advice urgent to take for more lazy playing and against Sirus, Kosis and a lot other bosses a permament corrupted-blood-cannot-be-inflicted-corruption also on one abyss-jewel until you reached 100% flask-uptime. When wanted use before 2x the corrupted-blood-immunity-flask-suffix and rotate the 2 flasks against inflicting lower map-bosses. Impales 90% less impales are triggered with our grace / evasion. Stun- and block-recovery We get 50% less stuns from CI and energyshield. Eber's Unification carry in 50% stun and block recovery and 50% block recovery is pathed in arcane guarding. We have cast-on-stun frostshield and we avoid interruptions when when we use awakened cast while channelling lvl5. You could choose more stun-reductions on flasks, Immutable Force and gear. But you should easy go without too - 100% immunities would disable the cast when stunned tailored triggering skillset. Other affects Curses Some 20-30% overcapped resistances compensates comfortable elemental weakness and other elemental curses. Divine Shield compensates almost all in vulnerability-curse-maps. We have so many layers of defences that there are not much threatening curses remaining. In curse-mods-filled maps we could use 50% reduced effects on a anti-curse-flask-suffix when wanted on top. Crits when we poisoned our enemy 100% immune with the poison-mastery. This safes us also from many ignites, shocks and freezes inflicted through crits. Poison Unaffected. We are CI. Dot-Damage We have vaal discipline and some es-regeneration and an anti-bleeding flask. In many situations the aegis aurara and a watcher's eye with the es on fast hits (discipline-mod) enables to ignore dot- and degen-damage. We often automatic whirl, cyclone and move out of the aoes. We can gear the belt-variation graven's secret for 60-70% elemental hits recouped as es. We activate the arakaali's major pantheon. We have best protections of the divine shield beside or we can swap to lethe shade against Uber-dot. Please visit the spoiler "Recovery" for the complete ranking of all CI-recovery-mechanics against dot. That is enough and I never got problems again after getting all defensive layers. I don't play hardcore, but when you get all these ailments controlled you will be hardcore-ready. ![]() Attributes

Often the importance of substain and recovery is overlooked in hack'n sting's. You need them in every situation to be again on full energy for the next hit in the fight. In poe always the big mix of damage, physical and elemental, hits and aoe's, dot and ailments, curses and chaos, is incoming. As result a mix of full recovery is needed too. All sources of recovery - Es on block, Es on hit, Es when hit, Es-leech, recovery, recharge, regenerations, recoupings - are used by the Allstars. In high density, t17 and simulacrums the shield aegis aurora is traditionally the best answer to all hits. Beside the watcher's eye es on hit with some optimized castspeed active recovers your full es in 1-3 seconds. Against the uberdot, ele-penetrations and some other deadly degens and ground-effects you need to stack some more answers. ==> When you want to facetank or continuous farm the Ubers and some other outlining bosses it's recommended to specialize into individualized sets of recovery against their dominant elements and damagetypes. Please visit "The Ubers" in "Endgame".

Es | Ehp
Spoiler
The build balances much into defensive layers, mitigation, flat damagereductions, avoidances, immunities and recovery and not much into increased es. Captain Lances prooved with some 20-mirrors int-stackers that also high 25k es-bubbles can be melted down in 0.5 sec in high poe-content. Collecting more recovery, damage-avoidances, pdr + armour, +max-resis and building up more layers of defences and last not least a bit movement is finally much better as simply raw es. These resis and avoidances practical multiply your es in all relating situations. Reach 200k-700k total ehp to feel immortality in almost all poe-content. In the pob-calculations "ehp" matters for damagepeaks in maps, fast hits and high density. "Max hit taken" instead matters for hard hits of outliners (like the Shaper slam and Ubers), for stacked high juiced damage-multiplying map-mods and a few taken crits. Against these oneshots you need fullgeared a total minimum around 3500 energyshield when all your defences are builded up. Estimated and thumbed. In my experiences. In juiced t16-t17 maps. In simulacrums wave 15 and against ubers 4-4.5 k es are recommended. Get more ehp and es to get more reaction time in damage-peaks and for uber-bosses when your frostshield or molten shell and all flasks are simultanous on their cooldowns. With 90 % pdr you will never be oneshotted and when there are blockable hits, you will get healed fast and nonstop by aegis aurora and the watcher's eye es on hit. ■■■■■ When your global defences, auras and armour are builded up 5.5 k are enough. ■■■■ As CI with aegis aurora and crit-reductions of the poison-mastery serpentine spellslinger path for 5 k ■■■ With 100% spell suppression 4.5 k are top tanky ■■ With a watcher's eye es on hit and high flask-uptimes 4-4.5k are great. In simulacrums and against some ubers 4-4.5k are mandatory needed against the big hits. ■ With 100% ailment-immunities, increased max-resis and 70% full spellblock 3.5k - 4k es will show immortality to you in t17. Es is multiplied a lot, 3x, with your SoL and passives. More es and ehp can be fast switched in: ■ gear the dark seer +2 shadow sceptre (+25% ehp, +700 es). ■ Use an elixier of the unbroken circle or with mageblood a rare iron flask (pdr, overcapped resis, each 2 seconds equal +400 to +800 es) ■ Get high es-rolls on Eber's and Aegis with 20% quality (tainted armourer's scraps, hillock, beastcraft). (+300 es) ■ Stack more es-tattoos. (+300 es) ■ When possible get some added es on cluster-transferpoints and ghastly jewels. (+200-600 es) ■ Use a small cluster elegant form to wear sorcerer-boots with high es-base (+500 es) ■ Path passives in "influence" and increased aura-effects in the tree. (+150 es) ■ Use more Es-masteries, foresight, unnatural calm, insightfulness (each +400 es) ■ Use the attributes-mastery utmost intellect (+some mana, +350 es) ■ Path arcane focus (+300 es) ■ Rare gloves (+300-600 es) or the jewel "split personality" with es/ int (200-300 es) grant needed energy shield before you get it on other slots. ■ A helmet implicit +2 to socketed aura etc. - gems could be used (but a 80% manamultiplier-helmet is often b.i.s.) (+150 es) ■ A b.i.s. rare eldritch helmet fits (+300 es) ■ Buff your physical ehp and damagereductions with enduring charges (elixier of the unbroken circle flask, enduring composure cluster or enduring cry). Against some uber-bosses use iron reflexes on skin of the lords or on the alternative pob-tree. ■ Or further exchange a large or also a medium cluster into defences with spellblockings, +max resis, a second es-mastery, or +es-cluster-notables like veteran defender, introspection, energy from naught, savour the moment. Often you find great unique medium megaclusters. Manamanager
Spoiler
This spoiler will manage your mana reservation for you, for all your auras and for your herald. Follow the PoB first for updates. Mana Full levelled and geared you should count around 1100 reserved Mana and 80-110 points unreserved mana. ■ This "Manamanager" shows the default management (see all steps 1) to 11) in this spoiler) ■ The following spoiler "Manamaster" guides additional variable paths when your skills not always trigger. Manamanager You need 1) 2x 34% base increased Mana Reservation efficiency on 2x ring "circle of ambition /of nostalgia". 2) Max the rings with 2x20=40 fertile catalysts for more increased mana-efficiency to 48% efficiencies. 3) You need the helmet corruption implicit "Socketed gems get a 90%, or better 80%, manamultiplier" (or 12% + 10% efficiencies on a rare helmet). 4) You need 1-5x small clusters with skill efficiency for grace with 1-2x small cluster "sublime form", and 1x "self-control" for discipline and 1x "uncompromising" for determination. 5)Take also 2 x 6% efficiency added on the cluster-transfer point! Best with additional 35% increased effects to add a lot efficiency and resistances / attributes. 6)You activate a "Mana Mastery" like "Mystic bulwark" with 12% increased Mana Reservation efficiencies. 7) You path all passives to a reservation-mastery in the passive tree like "Charisma" or "Sovereignity" for increased Reservation efficiency. 8) You have to limit cyclone, storm burst / brand, ball-lightning, desecrate-skill-gems to Lvl 1, quality is best 20%, only of ball lightning quality 0%. 9) "The dark seer" +2 mana / +2 es per level add a bit mana further. 10) You need only 70-110 unreserved mana points total for your skills remaining. When you have more unreserved mana, regret out "Sovereignity" or skill in in awakened fork-HoA-support. 11) You should reach 50 to 70 mana-reg /sec with mystic bulwark and 1-2x self-discipline, arcane surge on a ring-implicit, mana-reg on jewels or mana-recoupings on jewels or in battle rouse-passives to procc all your skills and for the needed continuous es on hit. As example: cyclone (lvl1) 15 mana/sec- (awakened) cast while channelling (lvl 5) - tornado of elemental turbulence (lvl 1) 3x16=48 mana, / lasts 4 secs = 12 mana/sec - ball lightnings of orbiting 21 mana/sec = totally minimum 48 mana/sec needed. Manamaster
Spoiler
More skill-efficiencies and manareductions for different gear, auras, socket-colours and skills Finetuning mana is sometimes like a minigame for the Arachnophilias. When you want to have more reduced-skill-reservations, perhaps because you need more mana for for awakened fork or returning projectiles in high-density-maps and blights, for an alternative jewels in place of a small cluster, for pure guile & purity of ice for the melding of the flesh, for different socket-colours of skin of the lords, for the anathema ring, for Uul-Netol's amulet, for leaguestart, for levelling, as long as you miss some steps of skill-efficiencies above, or something else, here opens the paths: 1) Get a b.i.s. reduced 80% cost- & reservation-multiplier-corruption on the helmet 2) Add multiple more small clusters: ■ 2x "sublime form" - grace, nice +30 resis also 50% efficiencies for bigger auras and 80% for smaller auras are almost equal. First use different ones, doubled they suffer from dimishing returns. Later when needed you can stack "sublime form" the best for resis and "self-control" for mana-reg. Sometimes you get b.i.s. unique medium megamania clusters with them. Take 3 passives with 2x 6% increased reservation efficiency, best with "35% (/ 25%) increased effect of small passives" transfer-points on the small clusters. 3) Take 3 points more for the way to "Sovereignity" instead to "Influence". Path to "Presage" and /or into one mana-mastery like "Mystic bulwark" for 12% efficiencies, or as Champ and Jugg to "Mind drinker", "Battle Rouse" or "Leader of the Pack". 4) You should use 2x circles of ambition. 5) "Mana reg" and "Damage recouped as mana" on jewel-stats are good buffing your manasubstain. Mana-reg can be buffed further on int-tattoos, with "arcane surge" as ring-implicit or on a supportgem, with a second clusternotable "self-control" and with many cluster-notables. Use Clarity of purpose, Self-control, Sage or Arcane Adept on megalomaniac clusters. With cyclone get mana on attack with 1 passive of "clever thief". 6) An added second mana-mastery like "Mind drinker" or "Insightfulness", "Righteous decree" for mana-recoupings or to lower mana costs or many cluster-notables helps a lot too. Alternative use an enduring mana-flask. When only a few manapoints are missing to nonstop use cyclone / stormburst go with fewer / without added channelled skills or use "mana leech support" or "clarity" and selfcast more skills. 7) Start with HoA support gems with less manamultipliers like pierce, phantasms, awakened unbound ailments, point blank. Take a look into the "the dirty scorpion tail" in "skills and trigger" above. While levelling perhaps use for the scorpion supports with almost 0% manamultipler like point blank (convocate the sting into the face of your enemies), tanky knockbacks as layer of defences, stuns, etc. Also faster attacks or added fire support are easy and fast ways to use less and to get more mana. 8) Gear some more of the possible skill-efficiencies: ■ while levelling +4 replica alpha howl, alpha's howl or the +8 crest of desire helmets or rare helmet with skill efficiencies crafted as eater-of-worlds-implicit ■ circles of ambition ■ skyforth boots, bubonic trail boots and slot in an amanamu's gaze abyss-jewel, or the unique blight-boots "the "stampede"/the gloves "breathstealer" and anoint them with i.e. "Sovereignity" or "Champion of the Cause" ■ replica dragonfang's flight amulet, aul's uprising amulet or rare amulet with "increased efficiencies" ■ rare gloves with integrated "socketed gems are supported by enlighten" and socket in auras 9) Get 2-3 large spellblockclusters (28-42%), watcher's eye with spellblock (8%), unique-mega-medium or small clusters with spellblockskills (4-12%), flask Rumi's Concoction (6%), also path 'mystic bulwark'(8%). Or gear provisionally Rainbowstride boots (20%) + fireborn jewel or the amulet Stone of Lazwhar (15%) or get a spellblock shield-implicit (6%), a blue nightmare or more in the league-mechanics. Then push out the aura tempestshield. 10) When all your defensive layers are builded up, stack some max attackblock on clusters, jewels and gear-implicits, of course with rumi's concoction and in the shield-mastery. Perhaps use also the amulet-anoint, replica advancing fortress and a watcher's eye determination mod for capped attack block. Stack more power charges for the graven's secret belt. As meat shields add phantasms or absolution triggered by cwc or as one of your skills. Block perhaps also with cwdt autotriggered frostwalls. Use both a jadeflask with an increased evasion flask-suffix and a sin's rebirth stibniteflask and minions chance to blind on hit with a ghastly jewel. When needed compensate also with arctic armour and defiance banner some lost tankyness. Then push out grace and ghost dance. 11) Use Glancing Blows on Skin of the Lords or with a Thread of Hope large radius, adjust like above with flasks, clusters, power charges, meatshields, frost walls, arctic armour etc. Then push out tempestshield and (-/or) grace and ghost dance. 12) Use a double anointed amulet. 13) Use the jewel "Unnatural Instinct" or "Intuitive Leap" in the witch-slot 14) Fit in more 2% increased efficiencies-corruptions or 3% stats on jewels and clusters. 15) Fit in an Enlighten-support-gem linked to the auras 16) Use cws frostwall instead frostshield. 17) At last often some league-mechanics enable to build in much more mana- and skill-efficiencies on top. There are a lot of different ways. All auras combined are worth the investments... Skillmanager

Option #2: Alt-Regal for it. Explanatory. Alt for riot queller. Imprint. Then aug until you get any suffix noteable.

1. Spam alterations until you get (for example) Renewal and Call to the Slaughter.
2. (Optional) Imprint. 3. Regal for any suffix. If you get a prefix, scour and go back to step 1 (or step 2 if you used an imprint beast). 4. Augment fire with harvest to guarantee Raze and Pillage. The cluster jewel need to be at least item level 68, and if it is below item level 84 then you will have more chances of getting Renewal and Call to the Slaughter from the first step.

Use a transmutation orb, you get a "magic" item. Then Alterate it with alteration orbs until you get 2 fitting stats or with only 1 fitting stat improve with a augmentation orb. You can random regret one stat with orb of annulememt. Then: For many flask suffixes go then after to Einhar's menagerie / beastarena and beastcraft the flask against bleeding, freeze etc. Use instilling orbs for special situations like autotriggered uses or increased effects. Crafted "magic" gear and clusters you improve instead with delve fossils or with regal orbs to "rare" ones. When you got a bad result, scoure them with a scoure orb and start again. When you got nice results, you can decide to use an "imprint" at this stage. The next craft further free empty prefixes/ suffixes with harvest, with exalted orbs or with Conqueror's/ Shaper/ Elder orbs. Next with blessed orbs you can maximise the numbers of stats on the belt/ gloves/ boots -implicits above the topline ________ above the list of prefixes and suffixes. Then at last go to your crafting bench to craft the empty suffixes / prefixes with wanted stats. With "divine orbs" you can also max the random stats of "unique" gear like circle of nostalgia. Corrupted gear you cannot craft, but you can change sockets/ links/ colours at the bench and anoint corrupted amulets with tainted oils. Crafting rare gloves

![]() ___________________________________________ Endgame Level 100
Spoiler
Level 100 The Agonyca Arachnophobia Allstars are ready, skilled and geared to experience grinding and farming the way to lvl 100 in all content. On youtube often atlas-strategies to multiply your experience gained are available for the contemporary league. Often breaches and beyond are recommended. You do not want to die in the levels 98 to 100 and to be honest all mapmods, each altar and every boss is designed to detect your last vulnerability and to kill you when you miss only one defensive layer. Start to check step by step the spoiler "checklist defences" and use some of the following tanky optimizations when wanted: Omens Wear an Omen of Amelioration in your inventory. Further you can turn direction into more tankyness also with some simpel skills. Switch out the squishy chaos-golem and clunky offering and balance instead into tanky skills. Tear up the wall Blocking with whole walls is a level-up in safety and protection. In a warding basis you can combine your skills with freaky frostwalls - linked to cwdt lvl 1 or cast when stunned they are autotriggered and simply the best against all types of ranged attacking enemies. I use them also sometimes for the encounters in delve and for heists instead sniper's mark or other skills. In these special situations frostwalls are BiS. Frost walls length is fine on lvl 1 or lower, quality 0. Dont build them too long and strong with higher levels when you want sometimes to walk around without cyclone and phasing. Tanky Atlas Use tanky passives in your atlas: ■ + max-resis and movement with the delve-note "Packed with Energy" ■ the tanky shrine-effects in "Supplication" and "Syncretism" ■ take a rest at the "Wellspring of creation" Phasing / Withering Step With phasing your own movement will not be walled. Withering step skills both into evasion and damage with instant withers. Void sphere Control the crowds with the gravity-effects, hinders and tanky triggered interruptions. Best lvl 1, quality 20. Good to selfcast or to link in cwdt. Tanky es-reg Frostshield binded to cwc, cws or not recommended to cwdt adds 1000-4000 es / sec buffer. Choose the skill-level which feels comfortable. Take the tanky Bottled faith, or cwdt/cws/cwc purifying flame with Zealot's Oath for 5% es-regeneration and 50% curse-immunities or enduring cry for both reg and tanky endurance charges. Take in maps the soul ripper flask to spam vaal discipline. Tanky knockbacks and cc Push back the blind mob out of your frostshield. Add in a tattoo for knockbacks (or in your cwc-set Glascial Cascade). It synergizes and stacks great with temporal chains, with hinderings of tornados and void spheres or hinderings on a tattoo, with maim on a tattoo, or also further with chills and freezes of an aquamarine flask. Full stacked you can watch the mobs in slow-mo. Tanky curses Or you can turn in maps tanky enfeeble in your cws-links or on hit on gloves. Temporal chains is tanky too as well as punishment. Tanky Keystones, tanky clusters The Allstars stack so much damage that it is easy to switch some points, clusters etc. from offensive to defences, to 100% ailments-immunities, to maxing 87%-89% resis with "the melding of the flesh", to more recovery with more keystones, to Es and blockskills. When you already obtained 100% ailment-avoidances, grab with 4 passives lethe shade against dot and degen. Wicked Ward is great too. Innocent spirits / Meatshields I myself personally would never, never, never advice to misuse the 11 cute souls of the summon-phantasms-supports as cannon fodder - but it's a tormenting fact that they would block and gulp thousands of hits in your place to guard your way safe to 100 when you heartless sacrifice them. Please not place them in your skills-, spiders- or HoAg-supports. ;-) Cws/ Cwdt triggered Absolution, Anomalous vaal skeletons, a chaos golem buffing feeding frenzy or even wither totems also meatshield great. As downside they use capacities of your frostshield and chain projectiles. No bosses When you are not a very experienced player, combat the hardest encounters like maven fights, shaper or ueber-atziri on your level- ups. They remain dangerous. One too slow reactiontime or one, last after-fight not known explosion of the ueber-elder outside Zana's shield are not welcomed in these final levels. All other content you can do deathless and in fast playstyle every time. You don't depend on 5-ways, breachstones or other carrying-services like other builds. The b.i.s.-upgrades
Spoiler
When you still not ran out of currency, you should upgrade: ■ a 80% mana-multiplier helmet for easy mana-management and to switch out a small cluster ■ 2 curses on hit as gloves-implicit for a lot qol and a free trigger and a free socket ■ the amulet ashes of the stars with the implicit "you can apply an additional curse" for one more curse, 5 free passives instead whispers of doom or to switch out vixens entrapement-gloves ■ the mageblood for 88-90% max-resis with melding of the flesh ■ good and better voices clusters for more damage with more pure agony and for more jewel-sockets ■ other cheap stuff ;-) like a third mod on your watcher's eye, b.i.s. and double rings- and shield-implicits, awakened fork instead pierce, a +6 to HoA-levels skin of the loyals, a +2 rare helmet for one free suffix, a better triggerweapon or -wand, a soul ripper-flask for mapping, a better rolled the adorned-jewel and set-up, awakened empower lvl 5, lvl 6 qu 20 awakened supports, more lvl 21 / qu 23 gems, some more jewels-, clusters- and mageblood-corruptions, as necro or occu forbidden flesh and flame, b.i.s. rolled unique megalomaniacs with pure agony, sublime form /elegant form /vicious bites/+2 max-resis winter prowler, a perfect selected elegant hubris, full optimizations in the league-mechanics, etc. ... With more budget you can triple your arguments of damage to bring over the messages and lessons of our crawling dirty herald in full convincing 270M. As example: https://pobb.in/3ZbX5FCw More...
Spoiler
■ Recommended only for some fitting poe-content without much physical damage when high armour and infinitive** es on block is not effective: Get the armour stasis prison, together with boots including the mod "unaffected by poison" (or Kahuturoa's Certainty) when wanted, and transform into a hybrid life + es-setup without CI. Change unnatural calm to written in blood and exchange Discipline to Petrified blood. When needed stack more chaos-resis above the delayed golden rule. The Progenesis-flask is chosen for perfect synergies of the recoups. You loose 20% damage, your chaos-immunities and much armour, but will get in exchange 100% or with infused flesh on the tree also 130% recouped damage as life, the recovery of a life-flask, temporal rift as additional panic-button, and easy full 100% reduced debuff-durations together with the arakaali pantheon. T17, Valdos and Simulacrums
Spoiler
Simulacrums Use in the last waves a taste of hate, or sapphire-, a rubin-, or topaz- / vessel of vinktar- flask against the main-elemental-damage to complete also 2 bosses simultan easy. Recommended stats simulacrums: 100% ailments-immunities, 30% overcapped resistances 12-15M damage Awakened cast while channeling lvl 5 against stuns Aegis aurora Watcher's eye with es on hit mod Corrupted Blood immunity 80% maxresis against dominant damagetype wave 27-30 (elemental flasks, taste of hate or melding of the flesh) 4k es T17 further recommended stats: 85% maxresis melding of the flesh / taste of hate 20M damage Valdos Take out Arziri first, then shaper. Sirus and Chayula ordinary heal you great with much es on spell block. Boss Hunting - The Ubers
Spoiler
The singletargets The Ubers are designed as final endgame-goals - not to facetank, not to block, not to evade, and instead allover penetrating and degenerating your resistances with oneshot-aoe's and deathly fast instant dot. That means also you can do or counter ubers a bit better with 500M cast-on-death or other glascannon-skills and -builds. But the Allstars do the job the same with some ups and downs well. While in ordinary content of PoE the Allstars build up unique high tankyness and multiple layers of all global defences, and can facetank almost all the pinnacle-bosses, against Ubers the balancing into max-resis, damage, damage-uptime and movement is mandatory. You will need every slot and every single implicit optimized and also the know-how of all ubers' attacks. You need against the Ubers strong gear to scale the HoA-damage even more up in the dps-race against their increasing aoe-s filling the uber-arenas (Maven, Sirus). Against the Ubers major attacks maximal hit taken and damageshiftings are as important as ehp in the pob. Against the Ubers dot is very effective, set pob-configurations also to Ubers to calculate the extended poison-hardcap above 35M correct. Iron reflexes is recommended against physical-ubers, CI against Sirus, 100% spell suppression against eater. In my experiences it's probably most easy against Uber-Exarch > Uber-Shaper > Uber-Sirus, Uber-Cortex > and UU-Elder to reach the farming-quality-status. Hunt them on your level-ups if you do not want to fear the exp-penalty. They remain rippy when you react one time not fast enough. It is common when you die in the first tries of these endgame bosses. When you know their attacks and know how to move out of their damagepeaks you will kick them nice and hard back. Defences
Spoiler
Mandatory basic defences ■ You need also after all defensive layers full maxed-out Es against their oneshots: 4200 es and more ■ You need reliable with enough mana and mana-reg all triggered skills and continuous with castspeed, onslaught, arcane surge full optimized triggered maximal es on hit ■ on the harvestbench you can enchant your flasks with increased durations, charges and effects ■ When useful you should craft the fitting bossboots for doubled eldrith-implicits: nearby to the pinnacle bosses the eater and exarch-implicits can be in all the specialisations doubled ■ Use fully all the league-mechanics!! More special defences ■ you should have reached 100% permament freeze-ailment-immunities against the cold-dealers shaper, elder, ueber elder, maven, aul, sirus / Shock immunities against world-eater, sirus, cortex, maven / Ignite immunities against sirus, exarch, atziri, maven. ■ you need corrupted blood immunities on a jewel or with mageblood on a flask and in the Pantheon burning-gound-immunities against Sirus ■ Against Eater keep in evasion/ ghost dance and change your minor Pantheon to Soul of Grutkhul/ or Garukhan. ■ Against many Ubers-Bosses with much dot/aoe-damage (Uber-Maven, Sirus, Shaper) lethe shade is awesome tanky when you already reached 98-100% ailment-avoidances against their main-damagetypes. ■ overcapped resis and bleeding-avoidances are not needed Dominant elements | Ailments and damagetypes | Flasks and Resis
Spoiler
Elemental ■ the melding flesh for +max 85%, better +90% all elemental resistances are recommended against Uber Maven and Uber Cortex. With some maxed cold-resis also the flask Taste of Hate increases your elemental ehp around 30% easy. Use before also the individualized added max-resis: ■ A Rubin Flask against Exarch, Atziri ■ A Taste of Hate / Sapphire Flask against Shaper, Elder, Uber Elder, Aul ■ A Topaz-/ Vessel of Vinktar-flask against Eater of Worlds, Cortex, Maven In reverse: You don't need ignite- and freeze-immunities against eater and you don't need freeze/shock immunities against exarch and no shock-immunities against shaper/elder. Physical ■ Stacked armour /phys /granite /basalt, with iron reflexes: jade + stibnit is great against shaper, u-elder, sirus. It is also awesome for recovery against the fast spellhits of Maven and Exarch. ■ Maximize individualized armour and physical-dr of the flasks in your actual pob. ■ you don't need the anti-bleeding flask-suffix against shaper, sirus (only corrupting blood), exarch, cortex. Against by the maven-brain spawned bosses rng and only sometimes needed. ■ You need curse immunities only against Ueber-Atziri. Not needed in "the feared". ■ Against the fast hits of Sirus and Exarch the prefix flagellants charges gain when hit is fitting. Against hard hitters like Cortex, Arziri, Shaper also other prefixes fit. ■ With Storm burst: An increased castspeed flask-suffix increases your es on hit virulences and stacks faster the Herald of Agony-damage. Chaos and CI is only needed against Sirus and Cortex. By RNG sometimes valuable against Maven. But without CI you would need to add life-recovery and a life-flask and the stat "unaffected by poison" on boots against the golden rule self-reflections. Abberath or Grutkhul | Minor Pantheon
Spoiler
Abberath (Fire): Sirus, Maven, Exarch Gruthkul (Physical, Ats): Shaper, Elder, Eater, Cortex Shaper Slam | Physical DR | Iron Reflexes
Spoiler
Keystone Iron Reflexes Against the physical damage dealers Uber-Shaper (Slams) and fast spellhit-beams of Uber-Sirus Iron Reflexes as integrated keystone in Skin of the Lords or pathed in the tree is b.i.s. maxing pdr and doubling the es on block-recovery. Because the max-armour vary please individual calculate the jade, stibnit, granite and basalt flask-set-up. When iron reflexes is easy to reach on the passive tree in your ascendancy, scroll up in the pob-trees to use the alternative tree "iron reflexes". Flat Physical Damagereductions Spell suppression halfs the common physical components of spellhits. The dark seer debuffs with malediction flat 10% damage. In each ascendancy are more flat damagereductions activated (10-40%). Use enduring charges (elixier of the unbroken circle flask or enduring composure on a cluster or enduring cry, 12%). Learning the selfcasting of molten shell and frostshield in the correct moment or also activating flasks needs experiences, but then they tripple your ehp. These flat 40%-80% physical damagereductions are 2x more effective because of the armour-formula to increase the needed stat maximal hit taken and recommended when you want to facetank the U-Shaper-slam. More Enfeeble can debuff slams taken a lot (10-20%). Debilitations with the curse punishment adds another flat 10% after been hit. Immortal call can be used instead molten shell for 30% flat damagereductions, cwdt triggered, with enduring charges buffed. Infused channelling could be added (8%). Also the additional pdr in the watcher's eye determination-mod is extreme helpful (10%). Major Pantheon Soul of Solaris can be prayed (6%). When you use the variations Purity of Ice / Purity of Elements, on the relating watcher's eye-purity-mods, the physical taken as elemental damage-shiftings are also double effective (10-12%). Elemental Penetrations | Damage shift
Spoiler
The penetrating damage of Atziri's flameblasts (10% Fire penetration, equal up to effective double ele-damage taken) or The Shaper's projectiles and bullet hell (25-40% Cold penetration, effective up to 5x more cold-damage taken) passes resistances and are feared as some of the most dangerous damagetypes in poe. 100% spell suppression stops against hits half of their penetrations. Our +max-resis are only in effective halfed amount resisting (effectivity small 20%). The dark seer debuffs with malediction flat 10% damage. In each ascendancy are more flat damagereductions activated (10-40%). Infused channelling could be added (8%) when you selfcast tornados or ball lightning of static. Immortal call can be used instead molten shell for 30% flat damagereductions, cwdt triggered, with enduring charges buffed. Before mageblood or as pathfinder elemental dr of the Taste of Hate-flask can be used (15-25%). Debilitations with the curse punishment adds another flat 10% after been hit. But beyond it's not easy to convert higher parts of incoming damagetypes against the uber's penetrating resis. Eg the bodyarmour loreweave or incandescent heart are possible to gear with some adjustements. The timeless Militant faith can be interesting against Maven for Transcendence. With many damage-investments fortify with overlord on a large cluster with cyclone or with dread banner for 20% less damage of hits is possible as well. Fullgeared in good scaled damage you can easy sacrifice damage for the conversion-specialisations when you want to specialize. Uber Dot | Lethe Shade
Spoiler
Many ground effects can kill you with their aoe- and dot damage merciless in half a second. Sirus storm puddles are generated after each 25% phase of the fight exactly under your feets. Maven uses imba-high cold-dot aoe`s. Beside the +max-resis of melding of the flesh and selected flasks and damageshiftings, Lethe Shade can be used with 95-100% ailment-avoidances for much tankyness and longer reaction-times. Examples Uber-Oneshots
Spoiler
If you want to facetank uber-main-oneshots, then switch in pob-configurations to uber and go through the boss skill presets in the config tab, and check your hits till death in the calcs-tab. Each one is quite different and can be countered with some specializations. Don't be afraid, also 10-mirror builds need specializations against Uber-Oneshots too. Hit-Types Sirus Heal-Beam
Spoiler

Not easy to facetank below 2 mirrors investments. Sorry. Exarch 1000 suns

Each fireball 17373 fire damage, cannot be spellblocked or surpressed. With molten shell and frost shield 4-5 can be tanked, with vaal molten shell another 3-8 more, often multiple balls hit you at once.

Cortex ground-degen
Spoiler
4570 phys-damage/sec ... that kill you in 1.3 secs in average, with lethe shade in 2 secs. Auras
Spoiler
■ The Ubers don't attack much with classical attack-hits and use mostly degen, aoe, penetrations, ground effects, spells. So you could balance out the aura "grace" and it's manamanagement like "sublime form" and the remaining very valuable "ghost dance" to switch in "purity of ice" for the melding of the flesh, "purity of elements", "arctic armour", "enlighten" and many valuable variations when you need helping stats. But, at the same time and on the other hand at last not least not to forget: grace + evasion remain totally helpful in the combination with iron reflexes (pathed or on sol) against physical-ubers and for more es on block with aegis aurora or also with es when hit with ghost dance. When you use iron reflexes, armour would scale better when you use grace and push out instead determination, uncompromising and ghost dance. ■ Balancing out tempestshield is well possible too when you get more spellblock on the tree and clusters. But the autotriggered damage-uptime remains extreme helpful again. Purity You can use the fitting elemental auras in the combinations with cluster-notables on small or unique medium clusters: Purity of Ice with "Pure guile" on a cluster, best for melding of the flesh to raise all +max-resis simultan Purity of Fire with "Pure might" Purity of Lightning with "Pure Aptitude" Skills
Spoiler
■ Change out the pierce/ awakened fork-gem of your herald-of-agony. Vile toxins or withering touch are the prefered green supports. Best is predator for more damage! Predator overwrites the HoA-Ai often from HoA-movements to HoA-attacks for more damage-uptime. ■ Change out the useless convocation too. ■ Selfcasting Molten Shell, Vaal Molten Shell and Frostshield makes you tanky in phases like Shaper's bullet hell, Exarch's Thousand Suns, Sirus Meteors, and full overmaxed buffed you can facetank with 90% max-resis The Maven's Memory Game. ■ Use the curses: despair and temporal chains. You can prepare the curses with arcanist brand before the ubers awaken. When ubers are on low life punishment and culling strike are extreme valuable. ■ For HoA-virulences skill i.e.: cyclone (default) (lvl1)- (awakened) cast while channelling - tornado of elemental turbulence - ball lightnings of orbiting / of static It offers the best uptime of virulences and enables most movement. Fullchannel storm burst / tornados of elemental turbulences already before the ubers awaken. ■ Alternative: Storm burst - faster casting - awakened cwc - ball lightning of static / firestorm Selfcasted or triggered tornados, storm brands, firestorms or void spheres deal damage also nonstop while you are moving in the arenas (equal to around 20-50M dot-dps beside the peak-dps of storm burst). ■ Because most ubers do not move often (only sirus and eater zap a lot), ball lightning of static is extreme effective for high HoA-virulences-uptime. Damage
Spoiler
It's the Ubers. Yes. The more, the best. ■ 20-30M damage should have been reached. ■ Around 50M you can instant-skip some phases of exarch. ■ Against the Ubers poison-dot is very effective, set pob-configurations to Ubers to calculate the extended poison-hardcap correct. ■ Focus on full capped withers: Use sin's rebirth, withering step, jewel balance of terror + selfcast despair or jewel glorious vanity+transformed passive ritual for the optimal 15 stacks. ■ When maven wittness bosses like shaper, she sometimes supports them with high multiple 25% regenerations. The audio-sign is that Maven shouts "Live longer!". Then do high damage nonstop to kill them or in lower levels prepare "frostbomb" on cws instead spirit offering or instead frostshield to debuff these regenerations - for example for shaper with his high hp-pools wittnessed by maven. Only while levelling with lower damage I advice to prepare a frostbomb in your inventory to switch in. Ordinary later you deal enough damage without frostbomb. ■ Use all the league-mechanics!! The shield-question | The elephant in the room | 2 damageskills
Spoiler
Aegis aurora is always best in high density, but remains often also against fast spellhits of most ubers the one and only b.i.s. as CI. The variation malachais loop, with shock immunities and graven's secret and stacked absorption charges, or the stasis prison hybrid life+es variation, or fitting specializations with rare shields, are a bit better in details to be maxed when you focus on farming u-shaper or u-eater or some other extreme dot and valdo-content. When we already invest much ressources into virulences and storm burst, poisonchances and castspeed, withers and curses, sol and empower, tankyness and recovery, is it valuable to scale and unite 2 damageskills? XXX and HoA combined? Yes. Always in poe yes. Welcome to next level of complexity. HoA-virulences above 90 don't have full uptime against singletargets and bosses, so you can balance some clusters out and a second skill (or defences) in, depending on your playstyle and your favorite uber. Universal scaling and converting The chaos-mastery converts 40% physical damage. Sin's rebirth flask (almost 100% uptime are possible with the tide of time belt etc.), overwhelming malice with some crits on a large cluster, iron mass or other sources of unholy might convert all your own skills into 100% chaos simultan to your scorpionsting to scale a second damage-skills nice high up. With the amulet anoint "spiritual aid" increased minion-damage buffs simultan also your own skills. 🦂 Elemental scaling and converting With an original sin-ring you get elemental skills used. Then keystone elemental overload is probably attractive and fast reached in 3 passives for another 40% more buff equal to one skill-support. Gear and Uniques The shield-variation the Squire can add in a second chaos-damageskill for additional 30% to 50M damage. At some tipping points in damage you can instant-skip some phases of some ubers with the Squire as glascannon in still remaining 200k ehp. With a b.i.s. rare helmet or b.i.s. rare gloves or a fitting unique /rare weapon for added integrated supports you get easy 7-links in these gear-slots. The Obliteration adds chaos, but the explosions are only good to scale in high density. With the black cane a few storm burst millions are in range to scale with phantasms and 100% chaos-conversion. Not really scaleable above 20M I would guess. With a Pledge of Hands you can double the damage of many fast hitting spells and in synchrony the tanky recovery es on hit with the watcher's eye is doubled. Absolution, ball lightning, arc and more fit in. The Annihilating light can tripple damage as glascannon and is probably best scaled with crits. Different 2-hand staffs and weapons buff some other skills great too. In the bow-sector there nice alternatives also: Voltaxic rift and Darkscorn for chaos or Widowhail and the Back rear for blocks, storm rain with life on hit as hybrid, etc. ... With the best synergies of an added socket of uul netol's vow-amulet and skin of the lords and empower it's possible to squeeze the second skill also into the bodyarmour when all gemtags synergizes and when you replace the awakened miniondamage. Vile toxins, returning projectiles or withering touch will be very interesting. The armour diallas malefaction grows in good scaling two times green skillgem-qualities also attractive. Skills to scale With many individualized optimizations and balancings fitting chaos or scaleable skills are in example void spheres of rending, absolution of inspiring, skeleton archers, hexblast, soulrend of spiral, essence drain of wickedness, and also arakaali's fang spiders or mines are possible. Conclusion In the end Poe balance the game around maxing and scaling only one skill into the top. Probably Poe 2 will do it different. Please let me know when you detect a good fitting combination!

Only one unique boss of the vaal-side areas killed me two times. His name is something like stormbringer or stormdrinker and he uses a very fast leap slam attack. (I guess, while he is jumping and slaming the minions and lightning balls cannot target him. I suggest there were also vaal-map-mods like ... unique boss... 198 % additional lightningdamage ...soul eater ... 560% faster attacks... 980% additional physical damage ... and only one single unvulnerability shrine next room to him... Run when you see him, hihi.) Phoenix's charged explosion aoe can oneshot since [3.18]. Keep range! For the bosses with physical-degenerations-beams or aoe-beams (like plaza, orchard, mineral-pools, terrace, garden, high-garden) you have to use hidings like pillars to interrupt their degen-beams and move and let your minions do the job. Don't try to facetank them. When you activated divine shield and wicked ward or lethe shade, and take in a endurance charges with "enduring composure", you can very often facetank them too, but I would not check it out in t16 red-maps, hehe. Some other bosses are almost impossible to tank too, like the defiled cathedral, burial chamber, crimson town, kitava, rotten core-map, bramble valley and foundry-bosses are rippy. Best is to oneshot them in high dps. Some attacks of the shaper and groundeffects of maven you have to move around. But you have a much longer time to react to their most damaging attacks. In the Halls of the grandmasters two of the very last grandmasters and a few Expedition-mob-types have high block and regenerations and are immortal for our normal setup. You have to debuff them on top with Block Chance Reduction Support and frostbomb and use dot with chance to poison of HoAg. Map and Maven invitations mods

- spam your attacks uninterrupted, you don't need to kite fullgeared - Focus on/ most important: try to encounter and activate her frost-aoe-balls at the center of the arena, they hit you ordinary just after "cascade of pain" - Then the memory game turns much more easy. Take 1-2 movement skills. - when you reenter the fight with a portal wait the first seconds to get not instant-attacked - you should take a look for the mechanics of maven's attacks and aoe's and kite her frost-aoe's. Fullgeared you can facetank all her spellattacks. - maven herself only use spells and aoe's. Only by the brain summoned bosses use attacks. So in many cases the aura grace is not optimal useful. - When map-bosses of "mineral-pool", "garden", "high-garden", "plaza", "orchard" are summoned they can kill you with degen-beams and you need to move to the other side of the arena to interrupt their degen-beams.

As downside in the cooldowns of molten shell and frostshield you take more physical damage. Use enduring charges (Elixier of the unbroken circle, enduring cry or "enduring composure" on a cluster), enfeeble, the flask taste of hate, the dark seer malediction-debuff, damageshifts on the shield-implicit for some basic physical damagereductions when you are playing with transcendence.

18 - Map mods and atlas awakening level Safe periods to raise the spiders
Spoiler
With multistrike instead melee splash the spiders deal a lot damage and buffs your crawler much with 15 witherstacks. In boss-fights like maven/ shaper you need to do the 4 clicks not in a damagepeak and do it instead when their mainattacks are on cooldown. In each boss-fight are several periods you can do the clicks safe. Here a selection of the safe periods is listed - easy to spot like between the phases of bosses, after their mainattacks in their cooldowns, or use a bit movement in maven's invitations. You kill a lot bosses like elder, sirus, Ueber-Atziri, etc. solely with HoA and without spiders too when you want. ... during a boss fight, I found the best way to resummon spiders is as follows You can also put Signal Prey on boss to keep the scorpion engaged Note if you have a couple of spiders still alive, you can press weaponswap x twice to get rid of them and they don't kill your worms when you raise new spiders. Raise the spiders in cooldowns like: Shaper inside zanas shield when shaper spawns balls or just after a big shaperbeam Maven when phases between brain and maven switches, on the edge of the arena when the oneshot aoe fills the arena, before the memory games Sirus between the phases, only not in his aoe's The hidden after the large shock-nova, or move quick to an edge of the arena, when one breachlord follows not fast. The feared when cortex boss does his spinning lasers, when elder increase his circle attacks, most difficult to watch the cooldowns of their other damagepeaks. More explanations for "the hidden ones"
Spoiler
[3.13] The hidden ones are one of the best trained bossteam in aoe-damagetypes. They are easy in their own breachmaps, but in the maven hidden invitation they can kick you fast and hard from all sites with their combined aoe-s, freezes and shocks. With their not blockable damages they are dangerous in the area. "The Feared" 3.13 Maven Invitation, 4 Breachlords, multiple damage mods and debuffs-mods: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUzXtPfzuF0 - Choose as suffixes for flasks "gain #3 charges when you are hit by an enemy". - The shocking breachlord is most dangerous with very large aoe shocknova and ranged arc and ball-lightnings all over the area. He shocks and debuff you with his attacks, and this multiplies the damage of the other breachlords. Try to kill him first. Take a look at https://youtu.be/RVCKz95cKNg how to move. Magic Find
Spoiler
Because much damage can be outsourced into clusters, abyss jewels, the minion-mastery unholy might after kill etc. and the defences are stacked with auras, the golden crawler retains easy 20M dps and much more in magic find-style gear. Switching out the gear is extreme easy possibly in this build. Path 3 passives to presage and for sovereignity / influence on the tree and/or use a second small cluster sublime form to change out the rings to magic find gear. Use low manamultiplier like awakened unbound ailments. Visit the "manamaster" for much more possibilties. I recommend to regear into mf in the order: flasks > boots > helmet > belt > ring > gloves > weapon > amulet Specialisation (... and Individualisation)
Spoiler
In fulljuiced maps 20M damage were always enough for me and I did not need more. Herald of Agony has always been a low-maintenance, high damage skill that requires very little passive tree investment to do good damage. When you get the fourth or fifth medium cluster with 'pure agony' you will rush through the maps topspeed. But there are faster builds of course out there than minions. This build safe you in endgame with unique optimized defences first. In such decisions Poe is almost always about finding the fitting balances of offensive and defensive for your goals and content. ... Do you want to farm fast, do you want to boss-hunt, do you want solo-self-levelling to lvl 100, which content like the ubers, delve, blight etc. do you prefer or do you need an Allrounder build for the mix without too much gear-swaps... ? My own favourite is the dramatic playstyle of the scorpion. The combinations of the skill with the fast spiders, phantasms or meat shield-zombies or skeleton mages I liked very much. I want a swarm of minions. I love to optimize a build and trade for best gear in slot, I like to level high 99-100, to optimize the build more with the final passives and implicits, I hate the grinding. And the visuals of spells, like ignites of raze and pillage, skills and mapdesigns are important for me to love playing a game. I love to try out and optimize all kind of skills, gear and supports. And I enjoy to write+optimize this build too, to find a unique build like here full optimizing auras, defences and keystones. On the opposite I don't like speedfarming & grinding too much, I dislike too much dungeon-maps, Alva and temples are boring for me, but good exp., crafting is not so interesting for me, in hardcore I am afraid of loosing beloved gear, I prefer facetanking instead movement and too much kiting, .... lol, hehe, exactly all this is offered by this build. Firing the balls out, stacking virulences and damage was for me the most wonderful and enjoying playstyle in whole poe until now. So on a lot of points this build is managable to specialize on special situations with masteries, large, small and unique clusters, auras, pantheon, flasks, gloves, ring, belt, boots, amulet, triggered & channeled skills, league-mechanics, etc. This build plays both melee and ranged. And all our minions are immortal. Optimal for full challenges in all content. 100% ailments-immunities, melding of the flesh with 89% max resistances, the meta-mageblood-belt offer new level-ups in defences in this build. Yes, you can facetank maven's memory game fullgeared with this build. Some want the relaxed tank, some want the oneshot-killer. Some like the league fast and cheap, others the long race for full b.i.s. Everyone will find his goal in this comprehensive guide. If you want another different playstyle, you can change your belt to the curious, funny and high damage offering and also defences buffing headhunter and try some new experiences in next level lags. In the end the top damage is scaled high especially with the medium clusters and HoA-lvls. Voices clusters can lift you to 200M and more damage with 112 virulences. Or bear The Squire to stitch Wraeclast into the ground in full 300M. ![]() / The Arachnophilias relaxed detect two Minotauriers in their map wonderfull massaging her short neck / Last edited by Chromino on Sep 7, 2024, 12:26:21 PM

Checklist defences
Spoiler
Wooop, the Wall of wisdom is incoming Sorry, this time there is no TL;DR available to crawl beyond red T-16's. 20 layers of defences and 200k up to 2M ehp will show immortality to you. 1. Check your elemental resistances. They have to be capped and have to be all 75++%. 2. Check your flasks. - Do you have antibleeding on one flask? - Do you have autotriggered flasks like anti-bleeding "used when you start bleeding"? - anti-ignites before you got immunities, best is Sin's rebirth, autotriggered with "used when you become ignited"? - Is the quality of all your flasks 20-30%? With flasks charges gained when hit, less charges used or longer duration for the rare flasks? 3. Check your pantheon. - Did you maxed with divine vessels the minor Pantheon of Abberath (often in the summit map) and have immunity to burning ground? As CI it's most important to recharge your es. 4. Other Basics & Playstyle - Do you use and spam Molten Shell and Vaal Discipline? Use them often! - Do you have 4 ascendancies in the labyrinths done? - Do you have activated all the auras "Determination" for high ar and es on block-recovery and "Grace" and "Discipline"? - Use often void sphere, ranged skills and convocation! - Rebalance overcapped stats and suffixes into other useful stats - Ingame as HoA-CI fullgeared it's practical often the best choice to search high density to run into the next mobs. As result more es on block, more es on hit on multiple targets and more HoA-virulences are triggered as well as more regenerations from Divine shield or also Juggernaut's Retiriring are gained. 5. Do you have obtained all the important jewels in the passive tree? - Do you have "corrupted blood cannot be inflicted on you" on one implicit on one jewel or 100% uptime flask? A lot bosses can kill you very fast without. - The watcher's eye with the discipline-mod es on hit is the key for active recovery? - And for 100% spell suppression? Stack "elegant form" (or "untouchable" or "aerialist") on small and unique medium clusters to fix combined also your ailment avoidances until you obtained it on the watcher's eye, sol, on tattoos, with league-mechanics, etc. - Are you already melding the flesh for +max-resis in high poe-content? - Use "the golden rule" not before transformed to CI. 6. Check your blockings. - Do you have max 60-75% spellblock? When not you need blockings on Rumi's concotion? It's your priority for recovery against the spellhits of the big bosses! Against final bosses it's best not depending on Rumi's Flask and use a rare granite flasks. - Do you have 30% attackblock and 70% evasion of grace? Or without grace 70% attackblock? 7. Check your tanky skills While your defensive skill gems like determination, molten shell, frost shield, (vaal) discipline, grace, cast when stunned are levelling up, you will get a lot more defense with raising levels of course. When you have too much too weak lvl 1 gems socketed on your gear it is dangerous and you have to level them a bit before returning in high content. - Use void sphere for tanky interruptions and much damage-uptime - Or cast when damage taken lvl1 - frost wall lvl1 - in your lower levels vaal skeletons are effective meatshields - switch one curse to enfeeble - temporal rift can be one more panicbutton for recovery when you are granted with best reaction-times - Visit the spoiler "endgame" ==》 "Level 100" to balance some skills into defences - Do you have enough mana, 80-110, so that all tanky skills and in all times es on hit are continuous triggered? Do you have also some mana-reg and mana-recoupings? 8. Do you often die of dot and degen? Raw ES does not grant survivability, substain does. Stack more recovery.

Do you often die of ailments? - Use fast the shield anti-ailments-mastery against chain-freezes. - Bleedings while cycloning are lethal. Get high flasks-uptimes, additional bleeding-avoidances on abyss-jewels or alternate the minor pantheon to ralakesh. - Use awakened cast while channeling against stuns. - Please take a look in the spoiler: "fire and other ailments" to reach 100% elemental-ailments-immunities with eldritch-boots against ignites and shocks. - Visit also the "Pantheon". 10. Check your ehp. Check your es. The build balances much into defensive layers, mitigation, flat damagereductions, avoidances, immunities and recovery and not much into increased es. Captain Lances prooved with some 20-mirrors int-stackers that also high 25k es-bubbles can be melted down in 0.5 sec in high poe-content. Collecting more recovery, damage-avoidances, pdr + armour, +max-resis, building up more layers of defences and last not least a bit movement is finally much better as simply raw es. These resis and avoidances practical multiply your es in all relating situations. Reach 200k-700k total ehp to feel immortality in almost all poe-content. "Ehp" in the pob-calculations matters for high density, damagepeaks in maps and for all fast hitters. "Max hit taken" instead matters for hard hits of outliners like the Shaper slam and Ubers, for stacked high juiced map-mods multiplying damage, and a few instant at first taken crits. Against oneshots you need fullgeared a total minimum around 3500 energyshield when all your defences are builded up. Estimated and thumbed. In my experiences. In juiced t17 maps. In simulacrums wave 15 and against ubers 4-4.5 k es are recommended. Get more ehp and es to get more reaction time in damage-peaks and for uber-bosses when your frostshield or molten shell and all flasks are simultanous on their cooldowns. With 90 % pdr you will never be oneshotted and when there are blockable hits, you will get healed fast and nonstop by aegis aurora and the watcher's eye es on hit. ■■■■■ When your global defences, auras and armour are builded up 5.5 k are enough. ■■■■ As CI with aegis aurora and crit-reductions of the poison-mastery serpentine spellslinger path for 5 k ■■■ With 100% spell suppression 4.5 k are top tanky ■■ With a watcher's eye es on hit and high flask-uptimes 4-4.5k are great. In simulacrums and against some ubers 4-4.5k are mandatory needed against the big hits. ■ With 100% ailment-immunities, increased max-resis and 70% full spellblock 3.5k - 4k es will show immortality to you in t17. Es is multiplied a lot, 3x, with your SoL and passives. More es and ehp can be fast switched in:
Spoiler
■ gear the dark seer +2 shadow sceptre (+25% ehp, +700 es). ■ Use an elixier of the unbroken circle or with mageblood a rare iron flask (pdr, overcapped resis, each 2 seconds equal +400 to +800 es) ■ Get high es-rolls on Eber's and Aegis with 20% quality (tainted armourer's scraps, hillock, beastcraft). (+300 es) ■ Stack more es-tattoos. (+300 es) ■ When possible get some added es on cluster-transferpoints and ghastly jewels. (+200-600 es) ■ Use a small cluster elegant form to wear sorcerer-boots with high es-base (+500 es) ■ Path passives in "influence" and increased aura-effects in the tree.

Know the atlas and the mods Know the dangerous map-mods: ■ "no mana recovery" (reroll or use enduring mana flask) ■ "less armour and block" (keep range, map slow, or reroll) Much too much multiple mods mounted up like: ■ "reduced effect of auras" (keep range, map slow) ■ vulnerability cursed (with permament bleeding-immunities on abyss-jewels, divine shield and anti-curse flask countered) ■ multiple damage / reduced maximal resistances - mods Know the dangerous altars: ■ only before burning ground-immunities and 90-100% ignite-immunities: searing exarch-altars ■ physical dr overwhelming mods ■ most exarchs' and eater's altar-mods are fast and rippy stacked to many 100's % additional damage. Choose first the chaos-mods as CI, the ailments-mods when you are 100% immune, with taste of hate, melding of the flesh, or the graven's secret belt the elemental-mods, etc. ■ of course choices like -50% resis when you don't have 35% overcapped resis Know the dangerous invitation-mods: ■ In the mod "enemies have #% chance to avoid poison" you loose much damage because of reduced virulences. ■ Only with stormburst in the mod "temporal chains" because of the reduced castspeed you generate less virulences too. Know the uncomfortable t17-mods: ■ es removed on hit ■ minions do x seconds not deal damage ■ petrifying statues, drowning orbs Know the dangerous atlas-passives: ■ Séance ■ Wrath of the cosmos Know also the easy map / altars / invitation-mods: 1) Chaos / poison damage mods: 100% immune 2) Burning / Shocking / Caustic ground, Shocks, Ignites, Ailments: 100% immune 3) increased attack and castspeed, more projectiles, increased aoe: mainly offers increased and faster more continuous es on block procced for us 4) reflected damage: (almost) 0 5) elemental equilirium / weakness / exposure / reflected curses: we have 30% overcapped resis and are not affected 6) chained projectiles, impales: no danger 7) charges gained by monsters, no leech, flask-mods: no problem 8) crit-mods: we are immune after first hit with the poison-mastery 9) cold-damage: we have 80-90% cold-resistances 10) elemental mods, reduced max-resis: with elixier of the unbroken circle + taste of hate or with melding of the flesh harmless Know also the safety-atlas-wheels: ■ + max-resis and movement with the delve-note "Packed with Energy" ■ the tanky shrine-effects in "Supplication" and "Syncretism" ■ the additional aura of Huck geared in Heist with "The dutiful Soldier" ■ scale more damage instead and take a rest at the "Wellspring of creation" 12. Do you have problems with a special boss? ==》 Please take a look into "boss-hunting" in "endgame". 13. Do you have enough currency for better the best ..... for the meta-mageblood-belt? 14. When you want to take the total tanky road, you can squeeze in "the melding of the flesh" on top for 85-90% max-resis. Visit the "jewels". 15. Care and be aware about the details of your ascendancy. ==> Visit the next spoiler. 16. Remember Overall you need only 6-15M damage in juiced red maps. So you can easy balance much capacities into more defences. Dps- Checks In my experiences you can best choose your set-up of needed damage around the preconditions: ■ 6M damage are really for sure enough and best for t16-mapping and lvl 100 farming ■■ 8M are enough to kick Maven ■■■ 10M for juiced red T16 and for Ueber Elder ■■■■ 12M for the feared, valdo-maps and simulacrums wave 15 ■■■■■ 15M-30M for t17 and the Ubers Of course ranged and instant triggered damage is almost equal to a deluxe tanky-defensive layer. Fast killed enemies will never deal anymore damage to you. In reverse without tankyness you will have to need to move and kite more and will have lower damage-uptimes. In different poe-content it's recommended to balance your tankyness and damage different. Care and be aware about the details of your ascendancy

Spoiler
The build is very complex.../ Where should I start? Simply take the pob, not the disabled and greyed out alternatives. Start to copy the tree-tabs equal to your lvl. Don't worry! The decisive spoiler "TL;DR - The short edition" shows everything needed for the build. Get the guided key-gear, clusters, flasks, jewels and manage your mana for the big tanky auras and defences. Of course read also the skill-texts. About the build:
Spoiler
The build structure is organized in thematical spoilers like build-infos, gear, jewels, clusters, checklists stats, damage, defences, etc. The spoilers and the pob are developed like toolboxes for you to fit into different levels, different budgets, different poe-content, individual playstyles, prefered skill-trigger etc... The budget-alternatives you find next to every gearpiece /jewel /cluster in separated subspoilers. The first explained variation is recommended first, the second at second, etc. The b.i.s. implicits are there noted too. In "tipps for levelling and gearing" is the levelling-gear before CI-transformation recommended. In "endgame" "the b.i.s. upgrades" the high-budget-solutions are repeated one more time. In the list of poe-tradelinks levelling gear, variations and b.i.s. upgrades are another time linked again. The build lvl 90-100 is balanced as allrounder to tank juiced t-17 without many (1-4) rerolls of maps. For some dot- and aoe-bosses, some ubers or for faster speedmapping too some balancings are recommended. Also without optimized gear the build is the tanky tank of the tanks. All set-ups work great. Don't worry when you miss some stats of the best-in-slot-gear. I don't understand the belt - weapon - jewels choices
Spoiler
1) Start with darkness-enthroned + dark seer + rare ghastly-jewels minion chance to poison on hit 2) Progress when wanted to the adorned jewel + corrupted blue magic ghastly jewels + dark seer + graven's secret belt 3) In lategame with enough currency the adorned jewel + corrupted blue magic ghastly jewels + dark seer + mageblood belt _________________________________________________ I don't sting enough damage Check step by step in the spoiler "the composition of agony - the cocktail of damage" all needed components. When you miss of them one or two, you often miss half the damage too. Reach 80% poisonchances for your own spellskills like guided there. Check the number in the green HoA-icon for the needed continuous full 70-110 HoA-virulences against singletargets. Get HoA lvl 21 qu 23, empower 4, awakened supports. Path early to the next medium cluster "pure agony" and next ghastly jewel-slot. Example:
Spoiler
- A HoA-Lvl 21 gem deals 51-94 flat Phy-Dmg +9% Inc. Dmg. +5% ATS per virulence. That’s 2040-3760 flat Phy-Dmg + 360% Inc. Dmg + 200% ATS at basic 40 virulences. - A HoA-Lvl 34 gem deals 168-312 flat Phy-Dmg +12% Inc. Dmg. +6% ATS per virulence. That’s 14280-26520 flat Phy-Dmg +1020% Inc. Dmg + 510% ATS at typical default 85 virulences to be scaled up further. If you know a little about damage-scaling in Path of Exile, you will recognize how crazy this numbers are. In comparison to most other potent scaling methods (charge stacking, attribute-stacking,..), scaling Herald of Agony is cheap and simple. Finally a HoA-Lvl 39 gem deals 219-407 flat Phy-Dmg +12% Inc. Dmg. +6% ATS per virulence. That’s 24528-45584 flat Phy-Dmg +1344% Inc. Dmg + 672% ATS at 112 virulences which can be multiplied and scaled when you go to journey with the build into b.i.s.-categories. Get tornado of elemental turbulences, 85% poisonchances for your own spells and for HoA-minion (they are 2 separated poison tags), ball lightnings, 15 withers, 2 curses, the Adorned and blue corrupted abyss-jewels, and only after the clusters the +1 chaos-mastery. Balance overcapped stats into more medium cluster pure agony and more jewel slots. HoA-damage-scaling: Poisonhits for HoA-virulences generated ingame > HoA-skill-lvls (base damage improved with HoA-supports and gear) ≥ HoA-medium-clusters Pure Agony (base damage, attackspeed) > Withers ≥ Curses (Despair, Temporal chains, more curses) > HoA-poison / Ghastly jewels / The Adorned > 100% Chaos-Conversion > HoA-crits > Spirit offering > increased miniondamage (rings, clusters, etc.) > other buffs (gloves asenath's gentle touch and large chaos-cluster unspeakable gifts aoe-chain-explosions > support-minion feeding frenzy > culling strike) In maps and high density the gloves asenath's gentle touch produce beautiful chainexplosions all over the screen. Can be "unspeakable gifted" in a second layering of explosions with a large chaos-cluster. _________________________________________________ I don't have enough energy shield / I die very often In endgame, from red t16 onwards, you need mandatory to stack 20 layers of defences. Each missing layer can kill you. Follow the "checklist defences" step by step for all ranked important layers of defences and recovery and more tanky tipps. Focus on recovery and 100% spell suppression. Your flasks need a lot of love. Pray in the pantheon for the hotty burning abberath. Shocks and freezes and bleedings and stuns are deadly ailments also. Use elegant form on a cluster for the perfect mix of spell suppression and elemental ailment avoidances. Get the poison-mastery against crits and critical ignites, use the shield-mastery against chain-freezings. You need enough mana for your spells and their es on hit. Use the dark seer sceptre for +700 es and +25% more ehp. Balance overcapped stats into other needed suffixes and individual fitting tattoos. Get the melding of the flesh for high poe-content. Use the league-mechanics. Ordinary you get 10-20 free passives when you balance in their benefits like tattoos, charms, crafts, etc. The better you copy the pob on each single stat, the better results you will get. Also when all suffixes are quite flexible to be built in, I do not know a better pob by myself. _________________________________________________ I need more dex / str / resis
Spoiler
Visit in "Balancing & Managing" the "Attributes" and "Resistances". Insert early the next cluster for more useable cluster-transferpoints and the next ghastly jewel for more dex / str / resis. Get 2x "sublime form" on clusters for resis and mana too. Probably get more attr & resis on more abyss-jewels or on a large cluster the "veteran defender". Help Alira the bandit and regret her later. Balance overcapped attributes and stats into other suffixes and individualized fitting tattoos. Visit the next spoiler for the tailored tradelinks for clusters with attributes and resis on clustertransfers. Do you have some tipps for levelling and gearing?/ What are the prices for this build and gear?/ What are alternatives and lower budget-variations until getting the best gear?
Spoiler
Use shield-charge. Craft easy some medium clusters "pure agony" with bound fossils / alts cheap on your own. Use the newest exp-mechanic in the atlas-tree recommended for the contemporary league on YouTube. Please scroll up in the build to the spoiler "Tipps for starting, levelling and gearing". In the pob's are levelling trees, items and skills included in separated tabs. Thumbed prizes you find in "Which ascendancy? Which budget?"-spoiler. Often in average the first 2 days of league the prices are high, decrease until week 10 and then raise again. Take a look into the last spoiler at the bottom of the build for a complete list of gear with all poetradelinks and examples for prices and cheap variants. I don't have enough Mana / My skills don't trigger / I cannot use all supports of HoA / Can I use different socket-colours on the armour for the Herald / I cannot activate all auras:
Spoiler
First aid: Use one more small cluster with sublime form also for additional resis, or path with 3 more passives to sovereignity instead to influence on the tree. Get 35% increased effects of the small passives on the small clusters. When possible get a b.i.s. 80% manamultiplier on the helmet. Limit cyclone, tornados, ball lightnings, etc. to lvl 1. For manareg and -substain use the manamastery "mystic bulkwark" on the tree. When you need more, use with cyclone the first one passive of "clever thief" in maps. Please take a look at all further possibilities of mana-management and -reductions in the spoilers: 1) spoiler: Balancing & Managing - Important Mechanics" ---->"Manamanager" + "Manamaster" 2) spoiler: "Skills and Trigger" ----> "The dirty scorpion-tail" (manamultipliers of all HoA-supports) Is the crawler-ai special?
Spoiler
Hehehe, the crawler-ai is individual... https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Minion#Minion_behaviour The herald attacks everything you attack. Tempestshield and with cwdt and cws autotriggered spells are qol for autobombing. Cwdt lvl 1 / cws - void sphere / storm brand etc. are fine to autotrigger HoA, best with damage recouped as mana on a ghastly jewel. Line of sight is needed. The HoA don't attack around corners and also not in the backside. Here you need convocation (hidden in the 7th white vendor-tab) or move one dungeon-room further, then the Herald follows. Convocation is also used to summon the crawler into proximity shields of mobs. Of course you should switch convocation out against pinnacles in their small open arenas for better skills. Against bosses predator-support helps. Marking them with signal prey will overwrite needless HoA-movements often for more uptime of damage instead. The Herald of agony has a huge aoe, so with feeding frenzy / agressive no difference is recognized. Meat-shield is not recommended too. I have since [3.23] best damage-uptime with cyclone - cwc - tornados of elemental turbulences - ball lightning of orbiting. The 3 tornados are homing and are not too slow with ashes of the stars, alternative with enhance-support. 100% damage-uptime up to 90-100 HoA-virulences. What PoE-content do you farm /personal prefer?
Spoiler
I prefer with aegis aurora's infinitive recovery high density: delirium, beyond, abyss, blight, exarch altars, t17. Bossing I prefer exarch, sirus, cortex. HoA is really an allrounder, i.e. in the moment I have much fun in ultimatums and sanctums. I cannot raise my spiders / have problems raising spiders.

More millions - Max up your shields Grace is the most easy way to get 70% evasion. Only 30% of hits reaches us. 100% of damage are evaded from hits. They are buffed with flasks and elusive up to 90/ with blindings of dark seer, ghastly jewels or pure guile 95% and fullblock to 98.5% of hits dealing -0- damage. These evaded hits multiply on top the capacities of 5000 damage taken of 70% dr molten shell and 4000 damage taken of 60% dr frost shield per sec to total reductions of practical millions and more against hits in damagepeaks.

Make Hatred, Not Grace - More damage
Spoiler
Sometimes you want to go and take the highway to damage and kick the mobs hard and fast. --- More Damage with skillgem-levels --- Go for HoAg level 34-40 with: - +6 skin of loyals - Chaos mastery +1 When you want still more: +1 /+2 / +3 on alternative trigger wands, weapons or +3 cold iron point dagger are not full recommended. Dual wielding Cold Iron Point Daggers +6 mounts up effective millions of damage. --- More Damage with gear --- The shield the Squire tripples and more the damage of the spiders of arakaali's fang. These are good used in combination with frostwalls for blockings and meatshields like phantasms in spiders-supports when you miss shield 'aegis aurora' or aura 'grace'. --- More Damage with more projectiles --- - take awakened fork, aw chain or returning projectiles for more projectiles --- More Damage with chain explosions --- Nice effects of chain explosions are relaxing watched with "Asenath's Gentle Touch"-Gloves as variation in high density. Combine them with a large chaos cluster "unspeakable gifts" and the passives "spiritual aid". Best are of course the forbidden jewels inviting the occultist's profane bloom ascendancy. --- More Arcade --- For rampage, virulences and much fun try the gloves "Null and Void" in delves, blights or deliriums.

Spoiler
- A dark marionette spectre or chaos golem buffs great feeding frenzy in boss-fights. - A hungry loop is another possibility to get the fine feeding frenzy-buff and/ or a lot damage with frenzy charges of carnage chieftains-spectres, other support spectres for curses etc. But the often nerfed spectres and support-minions die often too fast in bosses's and t-17 aoe's. Prepare a hungry loop ring for spectres, zombies or animate guardian: feeding frenzy / minion life / meat shield / empower / elemental army / withering touch --- More Damage with headhunter --- If you want another different playstyle and more lags, there is a curious variation for oneshotting the mobs with headhunter. By you poisoned mobs killed count as killed by yourself and grant a lot of damagefull and also defensive buffs. --- More Damage with auras ---
Spoiler
Offensive Auras and Hatred with ee and/ or awakened generosity or are not recommended since [3.16.] : - Change aul's uprising to "hatred reserves no mana" - change your Skin of the Lords' keynote to "Elemental Equilirium" and use only solely lightning, physical and chaos damage yourself - link awakened generosity to hatred - perhaps use "Hypothermia" switched into the HoA supports for cc freezes - the "Grip of the Council" can be turned in interesting - Best since [3.16]: (vaal) haste adds some M ![]() Don't panic - More duration
Spoiler
You get more panicbuttons. After Vaal Discipline - so much energy-shield-recharge uninterrupted - and vaal grace 15% evasion you also get phasing and 10% more dodge in movement with withering step, which withers also for your withering spiders and herald of agony. When you want to double and more the uptime of vaal-skills use the soul ripper-flask in maps. You can use your two vaalskills almost nonstop one after another. You can buff your guardians also with in rare boots integrated increased duration. Or link in an more-duration supportgem. Or buff the vaal-discipline big with the reservation-mastery "Non-Curse Aura Skills have 50% increased Duration". So you will get with the passives from your tree: 5 seconds vaal discipline, 6 seconds molten shell, 15 seconds vaal molten shell as back-up when molten shell's capacities are used. 10 seconds frostshield are triggered too – so minimum one cooldown is ready to start again when the other skills ended. In map-arenas you can spam all your 5 defensive skills synchron. Harry Potter Senior & The Airforce 11 - More minions
Spoiler
When you like the Dementors, Shadows and Spirits, you will love the Phantasms: Socket a Summon Phantasms- Support in your herald of agony-supports instead pierce. They make fine damage and as meatshield they absorb many hits, but are bad on bosses or fast killed by aoe-effects outside of your frost-shield and auras. It's a build on its own best balanced for high density content of poe, use it with "blessed rebirth" on a cluster. Manaminionmasssummoner Add in skeletons and vaal skeletons to fill the screen with 50 and more minions. Use zombies in a hungry loop and 20 skulls of "summon raging spirits" linked into your cwc and with arakaali's fang dagger command 20 spiders.

Spoiler
4 Heralds of Purity Make some fast changes to the tail of agony and go for a ride with the gang of purity. Overall you loose max-damage, but you get in that place instead meatshields and against bosses longer damage-uptime. Focus on 100% chaos conversion and phantasms-supports. To max up the melee purity build you need more red sockets. Phantasms are buffed extreme and add a lot clearspeed. Change in circle of guilts as HoP-rings.
