Considering what updates will be needed for 3.12 - I suspect very few changes. We'll see soon.


Noooooeeeessss!! Why do you do this tempting me into playing this AGAIN.

P.S. If you dont plan on updating your budget version I suggest adding a disclaimer that it requires Renewal/Blessed Rebirth for the A8 fight (I got past it with BO but I'm quite sure BO will be nerf).
3.12 version updated!

Noteworthy changes: Glancing Blows is no longer a no-brainer to take. May want to skip that instead.

Small nerf to Offering effect on us, I suspect this will be barely noticeable as we didn't really rely on that for cast/move speed anyways.

Vengeful Commander nerfed, I think it is better to take minion-focused Medium Cluster jewels instead (this may have already been the case before...)

Build continues to look very solid going forward!

but its an indoor league with 2-8seconds waiting sometimes before breaking in :(

alot of resummoning

Lets see the alternate quality in 20h, but I think MS was the best.
Maybe summon 2 additional weapons :/

True - if playing the build this league, probably want to include Unleash in the links when doing Heists.
Hmm would I have to worry about AW minions dying if I go guardian? Could you give any tips on what the lvl tree would look like for guardian or any tips in general?

Guardian is more of a high-budget version of the build because it really wants cluster jewels that boost minion life. Without those, yes AW at risk of dying.

Tree looks basically the exact same as witch, just be aware that guardian will be less convenient to level with as it doesn't get the important gems as easily
ah i see. are you planning on updating the witch poe for 3.12? what are you speccing if you are no longer picking up glancing blows?

I updated the tree, it just takes a few extra life nodes instead of glancing blows. Pretty simple.

I also just saw the alternate gem quality on Animate Weapon: "20% chance to create an additional Animate Weapon copy" ----- holy crap that's awesome!

"20% chance to create an additional Animate Weapon copy" - it just reduce time when you first enter maps and have to summon weapons, reduce about 1-2sec each map. Not a big trade for 20% move speed of AW :(
^ You think about maps but I think about Grand Heists with wings. Where I might want to break in and summon alot of them fast. Or sometimes I died in simulacrum with no weapons and less space to move.


isnt the minion speed capped anyways? or was it only for spectres?
i dont think you always have MS on both rings but you can take them now and have alt quality on the gem. But maybe its overkill to take alt quality + HELM enchant with extra chance :/

anways, I saw more potential for alot of freeze with alternate quality for hypothermia.



Hypothermia Support
Alternate Quality 1 Supported Skills have +20% chance to Freeze Enemies which are Chilled

Hatred
Alternate Quality 1 You and nearby Allies have 20% increased Chill and Freeze Duration

Summon Skitterbots
Alternate Quality 2 Minions have 10% increased Effect of non-Damaging Ailments on Enemies
