[3.28] The dirty Scorpion-Tail|Herald of Agony Cyclone-Necro|Arachnophobia Allstars|240m to 4400m

I'm a big fan of Arakaali's fang, wanna know if this build can synergy well with spiders and do all content smoothly? What Ascendency should I pick if I do that.

Hey azothyang,

yes, until t 16.5 HoA and Arakaali's spiders synergies very, very nice.
Only for really high juiced nightmare maps and the last Ubers the Arakaali's spiders are a bit slow and lowers dps. Then focus on a Solo-HoA or squeeze in The Squire-shield to buff spiders.

Exchange Sin's Rebirth to Writhing jar flask.
Switch out Withering step and Chaos golem of the maelstrom too.

The spiders stack the 15 withers with withering touch - multi strike - melee splash.


Against bosses switch melee splash to unbound ailments or to minion damage.

More guidings are in the spoiler "gear" --> weapon-section --> "alternatives". The Allstars combined scorpions and spiders in their first leagues long time ago too.

Thanks a lot. Your reply is exactly what I need. My plan for 3.28 is trying this build and hope the HoAg can deal with bosses while spiders provide me a fast, smoothly mapping experience.

" melee rare trigger-weapons, minimum 12%-14%+ weapon basecrit, +2% to minion levels" by +2 to minion level, do u mean +1all and +1chaos/physical? i dont see any minion mods on anything but convoking wand, but i believe u cant use cyclone with it.

Yes, exactly, 2 x each +1 lvl out of the pool of the HoA-gem-tags:

all-, minion-, spell-, chaos-, phys-, dex- skill-gemlevels

Melee-weapon-types are mandatory for cyclone (sceptres, daggers,swords, claws, maces), "wands" fit only for spells like stormburst, Arcanist brand / unleash / spell echo - ball lightning of orbiting etc.

Then with maximum base-crit. Maximum could be probably around 14-15% I guess.

Example with much too low crit:

Or CIP +3 could reach 10.5% crit I guess.

But as far as I see the under 12% crit probably the original Maata's Teaching is the better choice instead the Reliquararian-passives.

Alternative we could go without the +2 to levels, i.e. in standard-trade are +1 lvl runedaggers with 13% basecrit, without harvest-enchant, without trigger granted, available. So in total 14% basecrit of weapon and +1 HoA lvl should be possible too. Or Death`s Hand grants high base-crit and with Unholy Might full withers to exchange the Chaos Golem and Sin`s rebirth.

Tl;Dr for the [3.28] HoA-scion


Only with a b.i.s. crafted weapon, or not cheap in trade (in my experiences traded in average 50 - 150div++) I recommend to take the Maata's ascendancy as Reliquarian-Scion.


So simply Keep the Cybil's paw Reliquarian-ascendancy and 400M are easy and cheap reached also as full tanky Reliquarian-Scion.


But as always I recommend again HoA-Trickster, HoA-Necro, or HoA-Guardian, in lategame they are more effective, both in dps and tankyness.

They reach 200M for 40 div or 550M for 200 div.

Hi, never done HoAg before and fairly new to minions generally. I want to play something that is tanky, can be easy to league start, and eventually pushed to 4 stones (something I’ve not gotten yet, only ever 2-3 stones). I’d love to really see end game, and I really hate dying too often.

Is this build capable of the above? Others I’m considering are KF Totem Heiro, golemancer, HRoC necro, and maybe a tanky melee with the foulborn ghost writhe shenanigans. Your help and tips are appreciated.

the pobs from page 1 in not working, there are new pobs? Can anyone send me here ? Thanks!!

5 hours ago all pob's worked.
The pob displayed / viewed in browser works too.

Do you use pob-community fork?

Awesome work with these build guides!

Can't decide to league start as a guardian or necro.

I feel like the guardian will have a advantage early and since I'll be playing guild found (aka SSF with 6 friends). But the top end of necro is juice.

Will have to play around in PoB until the start of the league.

Again awesome work!
