[3.26] The HoT-Auto-bomber Zoomancer- 1 Button
|
Introduction
Hey there, I am Tim and I have played PoE for more than 10 years. I focus on mapping and have done a lot of self-made builds over the years. I want to have an AFK experience while playing the game, watching TV shows on the side, etc. That means tankiness, good recovery, good damage, and only one button to click for me :). This is my second forum Guide. My First Guide is about Dominating Blow and a Mini-Army. Maybe check it out! https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3471734. - I've also created a discord so that people may discuss the builds and help eachother out while creating chars It would be very nice if you could join and ask more questions there :). https://discord.gg/XqtJvXge In this particular build I want to focus on a build that works well as a second build in a league with some currency to spent and the goal to blast content quickly while chilling.
The Idea and goal of the build
I want to play an autobomber that feels tanky and still does good bossing dps. By dropping the tripple damage staff and instead going for crest of desire we are free of the usual constraints of auto-bombers. We combine this with Lots of Minions to boost us. In The end we avoid most of the pitfalls of a normal auto-bomber and become something better !
Videos of the build
How Herald of Thunder works
1.: The Basics Herald of Thunder is a fast hitting auto-targeting-ability. It is hard to scale since its neither a spell nor an attack. It Scales of quality and global damage sources like shock or global gem levels. 2.: More Indepth-Starting the Loop Herald of Thunder should be combined with Inpulsas broken heart. All shocked enemies explode ! But since Herald of Thunder cant shock itself you’ll have to find another source of shock. Step 1.: Manually cast a Shocking skill (Shock Nova is BIS in my opinion) Step 2.: Herald of Thunder triggers and acitvates „Storm Secret“ which damages us. Step 3.: Cwdt triggers and Crackling Lance of Branching triggers- effectively shocking the whole screen Step 4.: See the whole screen explode, the chain has now started- no need to manually cast again.
General Stuff about the build
1.: Spectres ! (All in Perfect) Primal Thunderbird; Guardian Turtle; Blasphemer; Spirit of Fortune - If you dont have the gem levels yet- go for a "They of Tul" instead of a "Primal Thunderbird" as they are way tankier and do the same roughly 2.: AG Checkout the AG Build setups. I am using a more basic setup in this guide. Checkout my other guide for another different cool setup. https://youtu.be/lJnKDbYawpU?si=gs7hAQ_yRnQgxwWz&t=288 3.:If you've decided to follow this guide Please update the POB's ive posted because I keep Updating/tweaking them throughout the league. Also leave a comment ! 😊 feedback is always nice. 4.: Gem Setup Keep an Eye on the Notes/ Gem changes, both versions are a little different 5.:Map-Mods this build cannot run t16: "!eec|tal d|s rec|o al|ail" t17: "!eec|f el|o al|s rec|fif|lm|ever" - Simply go to https://poe.re/#/maps and copy paste this under the "mods I don't want" Menu on Map mods 6.: How to Buy a decent shield Shield https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mercenaries/r3D9zp7CQ 7.: How to craft the gloves (easy) Step 1.:Use the following trade search. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mercenaries/wEyOm3RTb Step 2.: Deterministically Harvest-Reroll the Alva/res mod to 48-50% inc hit damage against chill; Step 3.:Deterministically craft Aspect of the spider by getting the beasts: "Fenumus, First of the Night"+ "Black Mórrigan". (Be Carefull: chaos res required) Step 4.: Finish of the craft with the inc damage when using flasks bench-craft - VIDEO GUIDE on crafting the Gloves: https://youtu.be/qyKK8yTeluk
POB for 3.26
Medium Budget: (Roughly 25-35 div) https://pobb.in/I5UszyUSow2W High Budget: (Roughly 50-70 div) (Mostly Pricy because of AG/Merc Gear) https://pobb.in/3hhkwNo8-SPa My Current Gear: (More then Extreme Budget) https://pobb.in/JMJg54Vb_z_L - Do Note: The Video is with the High Budget Version.
Mapping Strategies
I enjoy chill strats and these too work very well with the build. Low cost and very good income. Can do both versions strats on medium budget. 1.: Ritual: + Beyond/ Settlers/Shrines As secondary. - Very Effective way of making money and perfect for the build. I recommend getting some 8 mods (check the general section for the regex) and just sprint through. - Map craft: Domination - The loot is great, ritual works great. Truly recommend it. - Very low cost https://maxroll.gg/poe/poe-atlas-tree/ntfe308t 2.: Boss Rushing: +Beasts/Azurite/Settlers (Svalinn Hunt) - Run multiple different maps and just sprint through, kill some beasts, skip all ores until svalinn boss appears. - Map Craft: Setllers - Run to the bosses and 1 shot them/ do maven invitations. - Very low cost https://maxroll.gg/poe/poe-atlas-tree/enfc103f 3.: My Filter Consider using my filter while mapping. It is highly optimized for speed-farming. Put a lot of effort into it. I only want to see stuff that is somehwat usefull or valuable. Most things are hidden. It has a whole huge section on Identified items. I Recommend testing it out - espescially- if you want to engage with Kingsmarch/Ritual. It is ULTRA STRICT. Truly STRICT. Please keep that in mind. - ALSO: All boss-specific uniques are Hidden because it is for Mapping only. If you kill ubers etc. you need to manually check all items on the floor after killing the boss. This is because I dont want to be distracted by boss-bases while mapping. - If you want to follow: Go to my profile and selct item filters and then synronize my "Day 10 Ultra Strict" filter. 4.: Conclusion on the Strats Have fun! :)
Updates for 3.26/ Mercenaries
Go For a Warpriest Checkout the POB to look into the Merc gear! We are mostly scaling curses/ doryani on him. Also adding Sin Eater for Ailment immunity - It CANT run Purity of Lightning - It SHOULD have HolyRelic+Smite with inc effect support gem Mercenaries - Link for overview: https://poedb.tw/us/Mercenaries#Builds
Troubleshooting- Check this if you are struggling with the build
Feel Free to Join the Discord and ask questions there so that other people may also help out ! :) (god knows whether someone will actually join xD) Discord: https://discord.gg/XqtJvXge My Minions are ripping: "Do you have"? -Bone Offering (lvl 8 max!) -Atleast 10% Regen on them through tree/setup (Bone Offering+Convocate+Consecrated ground/ OR regen from tree) -Sufficient Gem levels -The Correct Spectres I am struggling with the build: "Do you have"? -Atleast 5k hp? (Its the pool the build is balanced around!) -Implicits on gloves? -Correct Annoint? -Sufficient Block? (atleast 60/60) -The correct gem setup of the particular version? -Automated Flasks? +Recovery Flask Mastery on tree? -NOT linked increased duration in your gloves ?- Fucks with Aspect of the Spider! -The correct two runegrafts? -Sufficent Mercenary gear? -Sufficient AG gear? -Checked out my guide on how to craf the gloves under the general section? -Leech on your clusters? -Balanced your str/int for Rational doctrine? (SAME so both bonuses apply) -High roll Helmet/ High Roll Rings? -Correct Flask Mods? How am I applying Chill and Elemental overload? On medium Budget: You run into the enemy and give him brittle+chill ground. This way they are chilld. You only need to do this on bosses and on those you dont do anything besides standing around and watching them melt so its easy to manage that On high Budget: You drop Brittle Ground on Boots for gg boots and go for rational doctrine- it apply +100% chance to shock and that is enough to get reliable EE uptime.

Great build bro o/. Shaimancer here btw :)

Great build!
I'm starting late in this league. Could you recommend a league starter build with a similar purpose to yours (zero clicks), but for someone starting with only 1 div? And ideally something I could transition into your build later on. |
|
" Well I've created another guide that I leaguestart with usually and is very very comfortable. I transitioned that build into this one. It's the one I talked about in the introduction :D . Since you've asked for a build with a similar purpose, I'll go ahead and recommend that one ☝️ https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3471734 Other then that I would recommend looking intro righteous fire! You can start it as elmentalist and transition later, though most prefer chieftain. 🙂 Dernière édition par Zurku351#2127, le 6 juil. 2025 à 03:21:44

Thanks for the guide, I'm trying to follow the medium budget version but the glove with aspect of the spider+ implicit is so expensive. Is aspect of the spider a must?
|
|
" Ive updated the guide under the "general" section with a guide on how to craft the gloves. -Check it out :).- You can deterministically craft Aspect of the spider! dont buy gloves with it. Perhaps simply skip the step 1 if you want to pay overall like 3 div for the craft. :D |

Hey here is my build link any upgrade suggestions would be really helpful, so far the build is really fun. https://pobb.in/8RwUyq7YBpRU

" hey there, I checked it out and i would do the following 1.: Change the 3 aura effect nodes on the left- You are missing both important runegrafts! 2.: Reroll Gloves with harvest etc/ also the craft to max-out both dmg rolls 3.: get two 50% frequency Storm secrets 4.: a 50% inc damage implicit impulsas 5.: your gem setup is a little outdated, check the current one on the medium budget one! 6.: Make sure to run the perfect blasphemer/ other spectres 7.: Set aspect of spider webs to 4- its the level 30 version 8.: Your GLOVES have no implicits mate KEKW - Allright, thats all the fine tuning you can do until you swap to the bigger budget. should go to roughly 15-16 mil Dernière édition par Zurku351#2127, le 7 juil. 2025 à 11:58:32

" Hey thanks for doing that so fast, i have done what you have said and i feel much stronger. Really fun build |

Just finished leveling and I'm ready to start the build. Currently on the gloves and I'm confused how we reroll the cold mod when the “Reforge a Rare item, keeping Prefixes, with a Cold modifier” is not in 3.26 or at least I don't see it.
What would you suggest? Thanks. |
