So I wanted to give your build a try. Love the increase in survival, however, clear speed on maps took a huge hit. Are you running something else outside of haste for maps? Seems like that HoA is slow to respond to me cycloning through stuff .

To everyone complaining about clearspeed with hoag:

- Drop claw/shield for 2x Cold Iron point.

- Get an alternative source of frenzy charges for the crawler like poachers mark.

- Improve your movement speed and minion movement speed.

- Use convocation regularly

And finally: IF you maximized hoag dps as much as you possibly can:

- Use chain + awakened fork instead of pierce and vicious projectiles for clear. It is utterly ridiculous, believe me.

Is this the kind of setup you would use primarily for mapping or do you run awakener with that as well?

For awakener I switch to a belt with more life, switch in a jewel with corrupted blood immunity and switch in vile toxins / awakened vicious projectiles instead of the clear-specific gems.

Using convocation is extremely important for boss fights by the way, to make use of all of the crawlers projectiles.

So each projectile deal X damage? If I spawn crawler in front of boss, he will take Y projectiles * X damage? I thought many projectiles is useless and switched enchant from 2 additional projectiles to spirit offering 12 extra chaos damage, should I revert back?

Generally, if you want to go to depth 1000, go hoag jugg instead.

hoag jugg - the version with kaom and 2 X cold iron dagger?

I edited my post to recommend hoag mana guardian instead, because someone reached depth 1230 this league already as of now.

The jugg 2x cip hoag jugg build should still be able to go to depth 1000, but I'm sure mana guardian would be easier.

bought this helm for 2ex and put up a cwdt desecrate/flesh offering/ic in my boots.

I miss my 2+ proj.. I have a bunch of offerings.. maybe I could do a bunch of uber lab and try to get it back? xD

Spend some currency today, get few new items.
My gear now :


What can i upgrade next ?

Love this build. Still havent killed Sirius but its not that build sucks... Got potato laptop and like 10-15 fps during fight. Yestarday i lost my last portal when he was under 5% hp... My advice for this build:

1. Spell echo for Holy Relict is nice, specialy if we got blind from minions on jewels.
2. Holy Relict dmg is rly too strong to put it off imo.
3. Fortify on boots can boost HoP Dmg
4. Haste vs Hatred is thing to rethink imo, that extra speed is lethal.
5. Trigger socketed spell on your weapon will fix your Curse/Spirit Offering/Convocation issues.

I don't understand how we can trigger it? For placing 3 spells from weapon(curse etc) we need cast 3 times something, if I want just cyclone it will trigger only 1 spell.

Did all guardians, shaper and elder yesterday. First time ever for each encounter!

Build sliced them to pieces. Now I have to try uber elder, I think it is going to be the most difficult for me :)
