" there are a few 'cheap' things you can do. buy a reservation ring for herald of agony. the second mod doesn't matter. they are like 30c. that lets you skitterbots for a chunk more damage. buy a level 3 empower for the meantime as it will give your herald some more levels which = more dmg. then buy a wand with +1 to all minion levels and craft 'trigger a socketed spell when you use a skill' on it. that automates spirit offers and also poachers mark which is a huge total dmg upgrade for your agony crawler. when you do this make sure to use EE on your tree for a bunch more dmg doing the above adds about 1.5x the dmg that you currently have Last edited by crazypearce#3760 on Jan 2, 2020, 1:34:34 AM

Can anyone hook up the spectres? @KangerooZeus
Also, can anyone give a general run down of what the gameplay is like? I respecced a freezing pulse templar over to this..I think I got him setup alright, but still needing some jewels and things..but I don't know what I'm supposed to be actually doing. Am I..casting poacher's mark and running? casting spirit offering at every opportunity? any specific use of vaal molten shield? or just spam it / or use it when you get low? |

" ignore the weapon setup until you get a rare wand with +1 level of all minion skills and the craft 'trigger a socketed skill'. when you have that you will auto cast desecrate/spirit offering/poacher's mark whenever you spam ball lightning. in terms of playstyle just run around, spam a few ball lightnings, pop flasks, pop molten shell, flame dash into a pack, cast convocation to reposition the crawler and you should basically one shot the screen with it. rinse and repeat. pop vaal molten shell after flasks on bosses and you have a 30k shield and are basically invincible i'm available for spectres if anyone needs them, just send me a whisper Last edited by crazypearce#3760 on Jan 2, 2020, 2:51:43 AM

Great build, using it right now (metamorph) and it rocks! It may not be the fastest clear speed possible ^^, but 1. it's still very decent, 2. ratio of the clear speed to the survivality is just insane. The only "no go" maps mod is "no regen" - everything else is either unrevelant or just a tiny bit of a nuisance (like less poison chance or burning/shocking/freezing ground)
Small modifications I've made: Crafted a convoking wand with "+1 to all minion gems level" - that + shield's "+3 level of socketed minion gems" + spectre 21 lvl gem = 25 spectre level = 4 max spectres (since it was nerfed in 3.9 so it has to be 25+ lvl to have an extra spectre). I also got myself an unset ring with nice res, boosted it with few prismatic catalysts, so I still have 75/75/75 and an extra socked - thanks to that I could add the tempest shield gem for an extra protection. In helmet Vorici gave me a white socket recently (it's w-r-b-b now) so I plan to test a gem setup just for Sirius - instead of vaal molten and increased duration (since you really don't need it with Sirius - even without it you can easily face-tank this son of a biscuit) I'll try shield charge and faster attack to manover those storms even easier :) Also - IMHO the "corrupting blood" implicit on one of the jewels is a must.

Just got the watcher's eye, but I haven't noticed too much of a difference yet- I think once you get past a certain level of ES, you can't die unless you try to.
That said, I made a couple of modifications that saved me 10s of ex. Here are the three big ones: 1. I use deathmark, it makes HoAg feel less clunky. Convocation has a >2s cooldown and I hated relying on it to target things. The wand might also trigger a curse on a random mob when you don't want it to. In any case, it's a nice "in-practice" DPS boost since HoAg occasionally doesn't hit the optimal target or it'll randomly not target a metamorph every other hit. 2. I used a 2b3g1r skin of the loyal. 1b3g2r skins are EXPENSIVE, and it's better to get this color at a cheaper price with +1 to socketed gems corruption than a plain one with the colors everyone wants. As of now, 2b3g1r skins are like 60c MAYBE 120c (it was 40c a couple days ago), and with the corruption it's like 9-20ex (I got mine when it was 10ex). 1b3g2r skins are solidly 4.5+ (I got one when it was 4ex and bricked it in the temple), and last time I checked it was 25ex+ with the corruption (I literally do not see one with a price-tag in trade right now). But, if you REALLY wanted those colors, you can save 1-2ex by getting the 6-white skins. As of now, those are like 3-4ex. If I just started looking at this build today, that's what I would recommend. If you're thinking about getting empower 4 for 8ex, I would suggest looking at the +1 corrupted skin for 10ex. My links are the same except with deathmark instead of damage at full life (HoAg - Minion Damage - Deathmark - Pierce - Vicious Projectiles - Empower). In terms of single target, the DPS difference is negligible. 3. If you're going to min-max cyclopian coil, here's a tip: don't go for the +str/int corruption. Instead, save up like 154 chaos (~11 divines + 4c for the coil + 40c for 20 intrinsic catalysts) OR buy one with perfect +attributes and 20 catalysts. Easy BiS belt with +18% to attributes for under 1.5ex. Unless the corrupted one has awesome rolls, I would just skip it. If you want a +18% (perfect +attributes role with +20% quality) with the corruption, good luck. It'll probably cost more than the watcher's eye and the +2 skin with the normal colors. I'm going to experiment a bit more, and see if I can squeeze in more utility (chill/freeze immune boots), but as of now, I think this I'm as well geared as I'm going to get.

Can anyone hook me up with the spectre tanks pretty please?
@ArcOnautus Thank you |

" regarding number 2 i think you actually make a very important point. even if you get a 2red4green loyal with +1 corruption, it's a LOT more dmg than any configuration without the corruption. because if you have empower it's not just 1 level to HoAG, it's 2 because you are upping the empower as well. i just bought a 2r4g loyal for 3ex so that's cheaper than the regular setup. but the dps even without the optimal gems is like 25% more. you are just forced to use vile toxins as the 4th green which isn't much of a dps loss as the enemy should always have 10 poisons on them. so on PoB my 3g1b2r normal loyal is around 2.6m dps with tail spike. changing to a 4g2r +1 corrupted and using vile toxins is 3.4m dps. |

Great Post Abider,
It really helped me as I did not know what I can do with about 4.5ex because Skin of The Loyal with "right" collors costed much more. 3G2B1R is much cheaper and I believe will be enough for leveling and early mapping(or even end game?) I understand that you have to cast deathmark manually, right? Soo I have some probably basic questions but I could not find answer in the guide: 1. One question about leveling this char. Do we need to have some jewels during leveling? I do not understand our interaction with The Golden Rule jewel. I understand that it is helpful before we get CI but how we protect ourselver from bleeding and poison dmg? Does poison dmg is chaos dot thus we are immune to chaos because of poison dmg we do? What about bleeding dmg we get? Mapping question. I'm curious how this build feels with medium tier gear, say 5-6 ex. I'm playing pyroclast/icicle miner and if course it is very(very!) squishy but dmg even on 5-link is a killer at least in early maps. Of course I can sometimes dies few times to the same metamorph boss because almost zero defense layers but clear speed is great, maybe not tier 1 but close to it. How it feels when running blight/incursions? I know we can get a lot of currency just by running maps and doing metamorphs and syndicate/beasts but to be honest dmg feel low in some of those fight, especially when watching some t16 metamorphs fights. Of course it probably does not matter so much because we are tanky. Is there any setup which can make mapping faster? |
