[3.25] Armageddon Brand of Recall Autobomber - Brand Recall Autobomber
 Introduction This is my take on an autobomber with lots of explosions! The build automatically summons Armageddon Brand of Recall and then triggers Brand Recall to activate them all! League start POB (what's used in video and gif): https://pobb.in/W0hzVl_iZuCQ Delirious Forge of the Phoenix: https://youtu.be/471FRj_pfm8 ________________________________________________________________________ Pros & Cons + Fast mapper + Autobomber with explosions! + League start viable + SSF viable + No temporary league power is used in any of the showcases (see tab for league specific suggestions) - Short range - Low single target early - Have to hold down another key besides movement ________________________________________________________________________ Settlers of Kalguur League Specific
Spoiler
For runes I recommend either Cover with Ash (frees amulet), Shrine Buff every 10 seconds or +1 to level of all fire skill gems. Recombinators make it much easier to craft the rares (especially the staff).
________________________________________________________________________ Build Mechanics
Spoiler
Armageddon Brand of Recall
Spoiler
Armageddon Brand of Recall relies on summoning a large number of brands and then using Brand Recall to activate them all. To summon a large number of brands we socket Armageddon Brand of Recall into a staff with the temple drop only modifier "Trigger a Socketed Spell on Using a Skill, with a 4 second Cooldown" combined with crafted cooldown recovery on belt (eventually Eldritch implicit on boots too), duration scaling from the passive tree and two Remarkable (35% chance to summon an additional brand when you summon a brand) cluster jewel notables. We hold down Automate so we're constantly using a skill. This lets us maintain 7 active brands!
Brand Recall
Spoiler
Now that we've got 7 active brands, we use Brand Recall linked to Automate (a different Automate than than the one in the previous section) to constantly recall our brands! We scale Brand Recall cooldown recovery with the Sign of Purpose ascendancy notable along with brand passives and the brand mastery to get the cooldown down to ~1.1 second.
Managing Mana Cost
Spoiler
Armageddon Brand of Recall has a relatively high base mana cost (27) and Brand Recall spends 20% of the recalled brands costs. To solve this we invest in reducing mana cost of skills in the passive tree along with Honourhome and the life mastery to convert 15% of the mana cost to life.

Hey Thanks for the build! I am starting maps now and I feel kinda squishy. Do you have any recommendations of how I could try to fix it?
Also do you have a finished gem setup in mind cause in the Skills section there are a just the starter ones? |
|
" I'd try to get some more endurance charges (first by pathing on tree + anoint and then Kaom's ring and ring with +1 minimum endurance charge) and look for high tier rare bases (can roll with lots of armour). Yep, can take a look at upgrades section but tldr is more curses, 6-link and enhance. | |
|
Can you even get "Trigger a Socketed Spell on Using a Skill, with a 4 second Cooldown" in 3.25?
|
|
" yes, you get it from the hidden area in refinery in act 9 edit: didn't notice the nerfed cd, what a bummer Last edited by dragomob on Aug 6, 2024, 8:41:26 AM

How squishy is this in actual gameplay? or rather which one of your autobombers is the least squishy? i am considering grinding for one of these in ssf, but i am awful at deciphering what enemies are doing on screen.

I am playing this build right now, and no, as far as I can see, there is no way to get the trigger craft anymore.
The one you unlock in the refinery has an 8 second cooldown, which makes this full autobomber impossible as far as I‘m aware. I‘ve made a few adjustments so far and playing it as a selfcast with recall brand linked with automation and it still feels nice enough though.

" Yep, here's a trade link to demonstrate: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Settlers/BldMnZ3T8 | |
|
Sorry about the late reply, the 4 second trigger craft is still in the game but it can't be unveiled anymore and is a drop only temple modifier now.
| |
|
What am I missing here.. why are we socketing arcane surge if we get it from arcane blessing already?
