Kaom's Heart Build Path - Final Update

Summary
- 24 challenges completed
- Level 93
- 8.5K health
- Shaper deathless
- Elder deathless
- T16s deathless
- Still died a ton to Vaal Temple 83 because I'm noob
- Uber Elder deathless

Spoiler

Pros of this alternate build?
- This build replaces the typical early-game Vis Mortis with Kaom's Heart and a Pseudo 6L helmet for your Spectres.
- It provides a significant DPS and survival upgrade from a 5L Vis Mortis, and was significantly cheaper to put together initially than a 6L Vis Mortis.
- At 8.5K health, the only things you'll get one shot by are telegraphed attacks. Any deaths you incur will feel like your fault.
- You'll still have more than enough damage to clear all the content in the game.
- Also pretty good for leveling in the 90s when deaths become more punishing to your exp.


Gear
The helmet + Kaom's Heart are the unique parts of the build.

Lvl 20 Conc Effect/Minion Damage give your Spectres a power boost over the traditional 5L Vis Mortis. Try to get a high life roll if at all possible.

If you can get Socketed Gems deal X% more Elemental Damage, you can turn your Spectres into 7L champions, but it's pretty prohibitively expensive.

Shell out a couple extra chaos if you can find a corruption that's even slightly beneficial.

The rest of the gear is pretty standard late-game fare. Since the whole point of this build is to be beefy, prioritize T1 life rolls everywhere, you can get % maximum life on shield and gloves as well.

If you can get high elemental resistance rolls on most of your gear, you have the option to grab increased % minion damage affixes on amulet/ring/gloves without sacrificing defenses.

Frost Sentinels Crit Version
updated April/2019 (new 1080p videos + more in-depth explanations)

Spoiler

What’s the point of this version?

Spoiler

This version excels in quick mapping, while still maintaining good single target DPS. The goal is to have as much clear speed as possible and still be able to do Uber Elder deathless and effortlessly.
Shaper DPS: 1.1M per Frost Sentinel
(sustained damage, no temporary buffs like flasks, vaal skills or Focus)

Frost Sentinels vs Cannibal Fire-Eaters?

Spoiler

They are very different and serve different purposes. Fire-Eaters have the strongest DPS of all spectres, but only cast their spells when they are in melee range of the enemy. “Regular” projectile based spectres in this aspect have a much better behavior. This is even more important when we want to maximize fast mapping

Frost Sentinels vs Solar Guards / Flame Sentinels / Goatman fire-raiser?

Spoiler

Frost Sentinels have the following advantages:
7% base crit chance
No damage penalty for extra projectile spells (unlike Flame Sentinels)
Freezing/shattering enemies
No low damage/long animation cooldown skill like solar guards’s beam
Great AI/behavior
They benefit from Hatred aura and Frost Bomb

Note: I edited my shield to include bonuses not calculated by PoB, such as Animated guardian gear, Zealotry Watcher's Eye and the extra crit chance against enemies on consecrated ground.

Skill Tree

Spoiler

http://poeurl.com/cncr
It’s a bit different but follows the same principle of trying to get life and jewel sockets. We also need mana reservation nodes because we can’t use a “–mana cost of skills” amulet.
Mistress of Sacrifice is used instead of Puppet Master, for more movement/cast speed.

Gear

Spoiler

The gear is pretty much the same as the original guide, with a few notes:
Aul’s amulet is a great way to fit a third aura into the build (Hatred)
Victario’s Charity + Necromantic Aegis is mandatory, because we must have a way to maintain Power charges while mapping.

Gem Links

Spoiler

Single target setup: Raise spectre / Minion damage / Increased Crit multiplier / Spell echo / Power charge on critical / Hypothermia
This setup is optimal, there really isn’t much variation there
Note: Power charge on critical is needed because Victario’s charity only generates power charges on kill, and so is not reliable for prolonged boss fights.

Mapping setup:
Here things get interesting. There are many different combinations of gems, depending on preference, availability of white sockets and the amount of lag your computer can take.
Recomended (requires a white socket): Raise spectre / Minion damage / Increased Crit multiplier / Summon phantasm on kill / Pierce / Greater multiple projectile

Alternative gems for mapping: Spell echo (really laggy with GMP), Hypothermia, Bonechill, increased critical strikes. Find what works best for you.

My FINAL pastebin - https://pastebin.com/8rC4dLbJ

Attention: all these gear combined costs a lot of money. Some ~1 ex, some ~15 ex and more. I just show what can be achieved with this Build, the improvements can be made step by step. The most expensive are Mirror-Tier boots. The least expensive is probably Shield and Belt and Gloves. Jewels up to you, i try to use tier 1 life + minion dmg + some bonus stats on my like hinder or blind or other, 1 of each kind. + attack/cast speed as 3rd or 4th mod is the best.


My version - 3 auras + 0 mana cost of all skills + chaos resist.

7565 Life + some ES
8.8+ million Shaper DPS
11.2+ million with Victario Frenzy charges or 10.4+ million with 2nd wand


Every single piece of gear is crafted by myself (jewelry's Delve-only drop).

My gear:

Flasks i'm using:

FORTIFY WITHOUT KINGMAKER AG

You will need these 5 items:
Ichimonji
The Vigil
20/20 Vigilant Strike
20/20 Fortify
20/0 Ancestral Call

Equip 'Ichimonji' in your offhand slot. Put 'The Vigil' near 'Devotion' in the passive tree.


How it works:
'Ichimonji' + 20/20 'Vigilant Strike' give 12s of Fortify.
'Ancestral Call' makes it easy to hit melee targets to proc Fortify.
'The Vigil' increases Fortify to 36s and shares with minions.
20/20 'Fortify' increases the time of to 40s.

A few random tips. If you can afford a double craft on the weapon, 14-15% Cast speed is a lot of dps. -# Total Mana Cost on jewelry solves the no regen map problem completely. Minion Life and Minion Damage on a bone helmet is easy to craft with fossils and is also a good boost to the spectres. Cooldown Recovery on the belt also lowers the cooldown for the skills in the weapon slot (3.57 sec at 12%). To apply Combustion, you can also use Sadima's Touch gloves on your Guardian. I swap Controlled Destruction for GMP and run 2 Cannibals with 2 Solar Guards for everything but Uber Elder. With this setup, I'm at 960k dps / 9.1k life.

Enemies you hit with Elemental Damage temporarily get +25% Resistance to those Elements and -50% Resistance to other Elements

The effect lasts 5 seconds or until being overwritten.

Trap, Mine, and Totem skills trigger EE ... Minions do not trigger EE.

Spell Echo is a support gem that makes linked spell gems repeat themselves after the initial cast.

Spell Echo only works for spells cast by an actual player or minion
