[3.21] Vatinas' Spiders + HoP Guardian - CI, 70K armour, 1400 ES on block, millions of DPS

Hey there, i really like that build, was the first time to kill sirius (aw6), i go on farming T14-T16 maps, maybe i can reach lvl 100?
I need some help in improving my gear, i only have 53500 Armour, 6765 ES and need a watchers eye with +spell block (72% without).
If someone has the time to check me, i would be really thankfull. There are a lot more bosses i never saw (Shaper, Elder...)

Ouzo - i too don't know how to setup the POB, ha. i just got my first slumlord (thanks King), but prior to that i have taken out atziri, elder and shaper with my sub-optimal gear. i think in those fights (especially shaper) its more about mechanics. if fighting elder, try and keep shaper alive so you could have an opportunity for a watcher's eye.

all that being said, uber atziri still kicked my ass (died 6 times) - i think its a dps problem for me, hoping slumlord and if i hit the lotto and get an awakened multistrike at some point, that'll help

1 important thing: What is better 21 hop, or lvl 20 divergent hop? 21 lvl div not exist in poe trade :P I have watcher + block and es from clarity. I have much less armour now- 61 to 70 kk w molten (armour watcher before), but I'm afking much more too anyway. Even if my resists are 76 only. I have more than 1100 additional es.

Now is the time for dps. Because Skin + 2 with 4r2b not existing too and probably is too expensive I'm thinkig about upgrade rest of my offensive gems. Which of them are most profitable in order? I belive i have enough currency for any strange versions of them(Thx Cadiro for my 9 ex worth ring. I love u fat men :* )

Hard to say, but since levels do so much for HoP I'm pretty sure level 21 regular >> 20 divergent. If they are both level 21 divergent probably wins though.

You can kind of simulate it in PoB, my slam at 21 regular does 1.5M damage every 4.8s which is 320K DPS, level 20 divergent does 1.355M damage every 4.17s which is 324K DPS so for slam it's *slightly* ahead but for regular attacks the level 21 regular is far better so I think it wins handily overall.

RE: Skin, you can also do 3R+2B+1G, and you can look for +1 to all gems too (+1 to all is better than +2 to duration actually since it boosts all your other support gems AND boosting empower means HoP still gets +2, in fact all the other gems get more levels).

Awakened gems help a bit but IMO aren't going to massive improve the build, getting good jewels can help a bit. See if you have a spot for Quickening Covenant for example, it's roughly on par with Fortress Covenant for DPS so having both is nice. Or just a regular gem with minion damage and attack/movement speed would still be good since movement speed does help for clear if not as much for bosses (though for some bosses like Al-Hezmin that move around a ton, speed helps a lot).

Ok I've got hard time with min-maxing.
es 7200
armour 63kk no buffs
resist lowest 76
watcher block + 10% max mana
minion dps 2x slum lord + clusters
almost all mana from tree
almost all valuable es from tree

I died many times in simularcum wave 20 from omnifobia (or whatever is name that fat guy.

I can facetank map bosses but my fast build killing al 7 sirius (not deathless but still) Omnifobia fat guy is joke for him. but i'm afraid my target (true endgame bosses) can be far from this build still. any ideas? I know only I need vaal skill flask and the second one for armour.

I managed to divine an elegant hubris to get slumlord 80% (after just buying one!), off of Arcanist's Dominion. selling for 3.5 ex, hit me up if you need

Is anyone able to take a look and give me some pointers on how to improve my set up for either damage or survivability?

Looking at everyone's damage per sentinel, i feel i'm either missing something in PoB (i'm not very adept at using it) or in game

*my character profile should be public as well, in case i did mess up in PoB

Ty for this amazing build <3 Now 92 Lvl on HC ritual ;)

hey guys - i was able to snag a +1 lords finally for 1 ex but have 2g on it. i'm playing around with POB and it really looks like withering touch + faster attacks is best option. even with only 1g, it looks like FA is better than impale. is there a reason why we are using impale?

in 'configuration' you need to enable buffs/debuffs.
so like, enable feeding frenzy, have 20 spiders up, enable Holy Relic Boom, banner planted
have the enemy maimed, blinded, on consecrated ground, intimidated and unnerved.

i didnt look at your gear too hard, but with just the above you are at 415,950 a sentinel. Multiply * 4 and you are at 1.6M which isnt half bad
