⛵☁️[3.25] The dirty Scorpion-tail|CI Trickster CI|140M+ Herald of Agony Minion|Arachnophobia Allstars

Hello Chromino, would you be able to take a look at my character to see what I should be upgrading? I think I got most of the items, but I feel like I'm always forgetting something and lots of confusion.

My progression this league has been quite slow, still only sitting on 2 watchstones. I followed your guide because I wanted to have a true boss killer so I can complete those watchstones.

My questions right now are:
- Did I buy the wrong Skin of the Lords (Iron Reflex)? Should I buy a different one instead?
- Sometimes there is something that eats my ES really quickly and I cannot pinpoint what damage it is? I already have ignite immunity from pantheon and corrupted blood immunity.
- Which anoint am I supposed to get for Trickster? Is it Whispers of Doom?

I can probably throw about 100 divine more to this build as I am enjoying the power

Hi RxJames! Arachnophilia!

As far as I can overview you have no bleeding-immunities? They are probably the reason when you are dying in maps. Get bleeding-immunities on a flask-suffix and because cylone tripples bleeding-damage better also on abyss-jewels as suffix or implicit:

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Settlers/K7rKVQMT5

Trickster is immune to chills and freezes with one step ahead. Only bleedings, ignites and stuns are dangerous in your set-up, get awakened cwc lvl 4 against stuns. Take a look at "details of the ascendancies".

Iron reflexes is great against sirus and shaper and singletargets, but in other content and maps take magebane or divine shield as keystone with evasion and ghost dance. Iron reflexes is a bit squishy in high density.

Your damage is still a bit low for pinnacles. Switch the gloves to triad grips or vixens against them, and pierce to another HoA -support. Switch phantasms to awakened unbound ailments.
Get more poison on hit tattoos to stack faster and more virulences:

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Necropolis/eBKbJRYhL

Anoint your ashes-amulet with charisma, regret 4 passives charisma. When you have a good mana-manamangement (with good small clusters and/ or megalamaniacs) anoint whispers of doom. With your lvl 95 whispers of doom should be probably the better choice.
Switch unnatural calm to written in blood for 3 free passives. Get the small clusters with 3 passives, not 2. When possible with 35% increased effect, individualize the tradefilters:

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Settlers/ooPoVOGIl

Best with all-resis and str/all attr:
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Settlers/nvqjO4Mf0

Get when needed 12% efficiencies in the mana-mastery-mystic bulwark. get mana-reg better on abyss-jewels with minion chance to poison and bleeding-avoidances. Then you can regret 3 passives presage. With the next large cluster get one more small cluster, then you can already regret sovereignity too and balance into more medium clusters.

With 100 div you can go in most slots b.i.s. I would go for better large and small clusters (1-5 div each), a skin of the lords magebane/divine shield probably to use when you stacked ignite and bleeding avoidances on abyss-jewels to path across lethe shade. This league often cheap are ashes of stars with implicit additional curse. Better voices are always interesting.
Taste of hate is almost as good as mageblood, mageblood is probably only interesting against when you focus on farming the ubers.

Thank you!

Hello Chromino i hit 100 today by your wonderful build, thank you for sharing us.

i am feeling pretty tanky but i think i have problems with my dps..
i also tried to use 3 grand spectrum but tankiness isnt fine and i sometimes die...

i am playing on standart have some currency to spend this build to improve more, especially what cruicible aegis aurora u advise me for the best of this build or what item would fit the best..

Also, what can i do to improve my dps..


And here is my pobb.in : https://pobb.in/6le9H6rh_QmG

Yes, the Crit-HoA-Pob is updated and improved.

In the last leagues this build`s damage in good gear improved from 237M across 418M to quite attractive 520M.
Now with the good available and craftable b.i.s. rare +8 amulets and rare +2 helmets the Arachnophilia Allstars arrived at the maximal HoA-lvl 40 cap in the high budget-variation and crawl into 606M damage in tanky 230k ehp in [3.25]. These amulets are op, I hope recombinator-craftings go core.

Alternative instead 500M damage in extreme tanky 1M-2M ehp can be chosen with rainbows, tempestshield, increased aura-effects, and 1 passive more spell suppression.
When you prefer instead to focus on dps around 800M are easy reached as necro with the more offensive ascendancy corpse pact, more offensive skills, clusters, whispers of doom or anathema-ring for punishment, increased curse- and mark-effects and intimidations in still very nice 200k ehp.
And last not least - of course with more offensive geared boots, belt, shield, auras and flasks much more damage beyond would be dealt when you want to play glascannon and want to almost oneshot all ubers 1 sec faster.

Take a look into the spoiler "The crawler raises - Herald of Agony caught the POE world by storm" and into the last spoiler "updates / changelog" at the bottom of the build for all updates.

https://pobb.in/3ZbX5FCw

In this b.i.s. gear the HoA counts for each supportgem around 200M dps. And for each one of the final passives around 10M, for each of the medium clusters 80M up to 160M damage, for each of the damage-orientated jewels 100M, it`s awesome.
I do not know a better scaling minion, sorry, even squishy spectres, holy relics or meta-bamas cannot really compete.
It`s awesome beside that HoA`s budget in these b.i.s.-gear-categories is still much cheaper as other minion-builds and easy and flexible to scale with the medium pure agony-clusters.

Arachnophilia!

HoA arrives in half a billion - and much more.

Howdy !



The leveling gear part on the main pob seems out of date, don't really know what to follow, actually im lvl 80 with not so many currency

When i choose leveling part on pob i have many warnings,

(Probably because of enchant on helm ?)

Any tips to start with the build ?

Hey iks0r34,

the build was improved and the pob was updated 2 days ago. But yes, the levelling gear in pob needs an update, the new recommended 3 pieces are already guided in the tradelinks and spoiler "tipps for levelling".

The warnings like cast spell recently, cursed enemy etc. can all be disabled when you prefer. They show only that there is no buff calculated by pob. They are only needed for some of the gear variations, they don`t impact any pob-stats. I.e. poison enemies is used when you support HoA with vile toxins instead pierce against singletargets, signal prey when you use predator in HoA-supports, or crit recently when you use a large cluster for overwhelming malice for unholy might. The buffs are calculated by pob only when you use the fitting skills, without there are zero calculations and changes.

I let them enabled in pob only when you gear a bit different in leaguestart or lategame, then you do not need to activate them each time new again.

Your tree looks fine, but I cannot see the gear and clusters. Do you have a pob?
Probably you should get small clusters uncompromising/ sublime form / self control and circles of nostralgia instead sovereignity and influence and presage, then medium clusters for pure agony, they tenfold your damage, and poison-on-hit-tattoos for HoA-virulences.

In the spoiler "tl;dr" is the keygear guided.

It`s the league for some b.i.s. again.


... I cannot remember such a rare rolled aegis aurora since long times in [3.21] Crucible.

Some totally b.i.s.:


I am still trying to craft better ones:

Nice to be doubled by the Adorned to +3/+4:





With the b.i.s. clusters and megalomaniacs and good ghastlys jewels I reached 210 unreserved mana, 140 mana/sec, 130 overcapped resis, 4 curses, 50M dps. And I have the fitting gear for 140M dps HoA-crits in stash.

In ordinary content the HoA-jugg I play this league is almost immortal and died only 4x in levels 80-100 (do not retell, I did U-sirus in unfitting mapping equipment asenath's gentle touchs on low 3k es and on top I forgot to reactivate ghost dance 5 levels long, equal to 40% less ehp, lol).
Now in lvl 100 I farm in titanic gigantified rogue exiles strategies also in t17's including crazy mods like 300-400% increased map-mods, 3x 300% additional elemental damage, seance, wrath of the cosmos, 80% delirious etc. - not deathless, but good & easy doable.

Because the high unreserved mana and mana-reg are not often needed I'll balance further into more damage and do beside recombinations and shipments for one of the imba +8 amulets.

Good God lol, I'm trying to catch up and you raise the bar again?! j/k :D

Did you just end up running a bunch of Locus of Corruption temples for those Rainbowstride and Ashes of the Stars?

I used my time and money to level to 100 and buy a few things here and there.

Face tanked some T17 bosses for the first time, felt really nice but it's still not quite 100% deathless. Hoping to find some more upgrades to take it to the next level, such as Uber Pinnacles.

Sorry if I have lots of questions, I can't think of them all at the moment, but I'll try to edit them in:

- How necessary is Mageblood for the endgame? I'm currently using Stormshroud + Darkness Enthroned setup to 100% avoid elemental ailments.
- Is it bad to have Vaal Molten Shell on Automation support? I guess I'm being lazy to learn the fights and don't want to have to mess with the timings?
- 4 white Triad Grips with no implicit is bad? I felt like I wasted so many Temples trying to double corrupt one, and when I finally landed all white sockets, was dismayed at no implicit corruption.

Hehehe, arachnophilia!

I am myself not good or experienced in craftings too. But this league helmets, boots, unique medium megamaniacs and amulets are extremely cheap with b.i.s.-rolls in trade.

And I had some luck sniping and good drops in simulacrum and t17 and with Faustus I looted hundreds of divs out of my stash.

Yes, implicits on 4w triad grips are extreme rare. Before 2 leagues they were cheap, this league other content is more often farmed.
You can easy go without and use arcanist brand against bosses. In maps asenaths are a bit faster.
In "balancing and managing" are the crafting tipps.

Against ubers I self cast the tanky skills, in other content I trigger them too.
I dislike the chaos golem or dark marionette spectre and do not use them. And above 25-39M it's easy to individual choose prefered skills.
Again in checklist stats" are in "skill manager" many possibilities ranked to get free sockets.

With the new taste of hate mageblood is much less important against u-maven and others, in ordinary content darkness enthroned has many advantages and reachs a bit more damage.

I take aa look on the pob soon.


Edited:

A rare helmet should be easy to craft or snipe at next. Stormshroud is not optimal in your setup, ancestral vision would be better. Without basalt-flask you miss much armour, I would switch taste of hate or golden flask to a basalt-flask.

Let's sting!
