[3.9] Cyclone Summoner - Heralds of Agony and Purity, Summon Holy Relic - League starter

On the topic of flasks, what mods should I go for. I've been using the poison immunity minor pantheon (maybe I shouldnt) so I have an opening for shock or ignite.

What is the silver flask doing for us? Maybe replace with Granite

I'm trying to mitigate the one shots like explosions/stomps etc. Not sure the damage type they are.
Hey. Is there good way to craft gemi i claw with fossils? 2nd question is what are best support gems for 5L armor? Build is fun and im slowly upgrading my gear to do higher maps.

Here are my current items:





Overall, this is the strongest build I've ever done. I've invested around 10ex (including the 6-link) and feel like I can do every content in the game. Meanwhile, my friends are stuck in T10's with their bow builds hehe.


Can you explain the need for withered touch in both the HoP and Cyclone links? I would think just cyclone needed

Thanks

As KäptnSharky said, with 12 attacks per second on Cyclone, you can maintain 6 stacks of Wither. Check your Attacks per Second at the "Calculations" tab in PoB.

If I also socket Withering Touch on Herald of Purity, it stacks Wither with Cyclone to get to 10 stacks (6 cyclone + 4 herald of purity). If you do the math, you'll do more dps if you swap Melee Physical Damage for Withering Touch on your Herald of Purity, as the 4 additional wither stacks will give you more damage in comparison. You can do the math in PoB.

Did some nice upgrades today:



> Got this new claw for 1ex - it had 3 things that we want on our claws: attack speed, life gained on hit on blinded enemies and an open suffix/prefix for us to craft minion attack speed or minion damage. I spent around 300 alterations on a ilvl <=75 and could not get attack speed + life gained on hit on blinded enemies, so I constantly checked poe.trade and finally bought one.

> Vaaled my minion damage support and it got to 21/20.

> Bought a 21/20 Herald of Agony.

Damage went through the roof and I'm not even sure if I'm shocking bosses lol.

Survivability is great, but I still have to get a higher HP pool (around 7k at the moment).

HoA DPS: https://puu.sh/EToAo/7873efc3f3.png
HoP DPS (multiply *4): https://puu.sh/EToCz/b789d84aa2.png
SHR DPS (multiply *2): https://puu.sh/EToD4/017249b30f.png

Total shaper/guardian DPS: ~3,2kk

My PoB: https://pastebin.com/bLvfXAgR

Here are my current items:



This setup gives me capped chaos resistance together with Pantheon, along with a pretty insane clearspeed and boss damage. Still getting one-shot from time to time though. Some T16 metamorphs are just retardedly strong.



I've bought a +3 minion gem helmet and plan to use it with HoP, which will give me around 300k dps. I don't think it's worth the 4ex I spent on it... what do you guys think? Even then, I'll still have to do some adjustments though. For example, I'll probably have to switch boots since it will be a pain in the ass to get 4B (Summon Holy Relic - Minion Damage - Controlled Destruction - Meat Shield) on my current ones. Maybe I can ditch SHR and go for something else? I don't think it's a good idea, but it's an option. Maybe this is too much hassle for a 300k dps increase and I'll probably end up selling the helm.

I chose to get poacher's mark on hit on my ring so I can get even more life on hit and still get my HoA to obtain frenzy charges consistently.

I also chose to go only one Cold Iron Point so I don't give up the insane life gain on hit on the claw. I probably won't switch to 2 Cold Iron Points because my DPS is already pretty high and I see more value on the life/mana gain on hit.

For Cyclone, I went for withering touch. With HoP, as Kaptn said, we can get 10 stacks. Huge DPS boost. Thanks for the tip! I also went for infused channeling because it makes you incredibly tanky. Fortify got linked with whirling blades instead, as blood magic doesn't do anything for me.

Lvl 1 CWDT - Immortal Call - Spirit offering. This procs Spirit Offering very consistently, which translats to a pretty nice damage boost and defenses for my minions. It also helps keeping Holy Relics alive, which is very important for clearspeed. They will still die from time to time when damage is too heavy (aka T16 metamorphs), but they definitely can take a lot more hits with spirit offering procs. Will experiment leveling CWDT a little and see how it goes.

Things I still need to do:

- Get a #% attack speed claw/life gain on each blinded enemy hit so I can craft #% minion damage on the mod table
- Find a way to shock enemies (I have a jewel with 4% shock chance but idk if it works this way)
- Get helmet enchant
- Switch to the +3 helmet, which I've already bought
- Level up so I can get one more jewel and a higher life pool
- Get corrupted +1 socketed gems Coming Calamity
- Get level 21 Herald of agony

After these upgrades, I think I will hit a wall, but I'm not sure.

If you guys have something to add to my build, you are very welcome :).

Overall, this is the strongest build I've ever done. I've invested around 10ex (including the 6-link) and feel like I can do every content in the game. Meanwhile, my friends are stuck in T10's with their bow builds hehe.


Thanks for the info, this seems awesome. Question, do you just drop the blind?

No, I use this jewel: https://puu.sh/ETLrN/b36f24a163.png (I'm at work atm and can't link it directly).

It blinds enemies and bosses quite consistently. You can add 2 of those if you want it, but I don't feel like it's necessary. Remember you also have to get 4x 5% chance to poison jewels, so there aren't many slots left.
Any Anointment recommendations?

Have you managed to kill Sirius? I'm at my first Sirius quest, wondering about any tips before going to fight.
