Witch - 3.10|Stress-Free PoE| SLOW-MO ZOMBIES |Use Any Items You Want|1 Button Gameplay|Easily Customizable - Forum

Hey WoD! I decided to not play slowmo this league :( (so far anyways) I went with unkillable Tectonic Slam Jugg instead. I'm liking 90% phys mitigation, 16000 armor, and being able to think about what to do next while getting punched in the mouth! Permastun boy with anger issues... sounds about like me :) We got old Dwaine's slomo to maps last night and she is coming along fine. I try to stay close to her and with my AoE, well I'm like her animated guardian! Plus I am enjoying her Hatred buff to me, adds massive cold damage and I'll take it! Funny thing, she hit an ex in the lab and not 5 min later I hit an ex in my map! That was a good night! Now I can buy my Astrementis for my intelligence starved rock and get my concentrated effect up! Good times! I will wear your ghost and you will die twice, against me and for me. That is some cold blooded shit to say...	Posted by GrunkleBob on Mar 24, 2020, 2:19:12 PM Quote this Post

" Elocara wrote: Spoiler I'm having such a blast with my zombies and Molotov skellies, this is a great build Wrecker_of_Days, thanks so much again for sharing these! However, I am starting to feel like a glass cannon once more. For one, my gear has way too little life, I am just at the threshold between leveling gear and mapping gear and the impending last Kitava fight isn't gonna help with my resists. Neither is having to pick up dexterity over resists/life. But more importantly, my CWDT skills do not go off! When I purchased the CWDT gems, they were level 3 and so I took care to get the enfeeble and ball lightning not over the lvl 42 requirement of the CWDT gem. Same with desecrate. I can't use the skills actively, doesn't that mean they cast automatically? Of course I have unlocked the Whispers of Doom node. What am I missing? I am heavily using the skellies as a direct damage spell, if I wouldn't, I'd be dead by the time the zombies take care of everything (and too slow in delirium fog). As a last resort I even use raging spirits against rares and bosses. I know they reduce the damage of the other minions, but sometimes I need to be killing them faster than they can kill me. So vaal summon skeletons aren't an option for me at this point, maybe later when the zombies have reached their full potential (I did level one a fair bit on the side). By the way, when I start the game I am now zombie-less as a rule, which was not like that in the very beginning. Something wrong on my end or did GGG "patch" that and does everyone else have that issue? Hey Elocara! I'm glad you're really liking it! I'm happy to write them. It looks like since your post you've made some big changes. You've fixed your CwDT links and as you mentioned, gear will improve your situation. The build will have roughly 5500-6000 with decent life roll on your gear. PoE doesn't keep your zombies "up" between logins. They do for spectres because they are so annoying to get again, but zombies must be raised every login. Since my reply was a little delayed, let me know if your concerns still exist.

(If I made a mistake in the guide about this, let me know.) So you have to hit the enemy with a spell (Ball Lightning) for the Fire and Cold to do more damage. So it's OUR lightning that strengthens the fire and cold. Make sense?

I have the mirror bestiary craft too. I was leaning towards trying to annul the T6 Lightning res on these crusader boots butt still not sure Crazy acidytrips! I think I've had about the same amount of Chaos drop (no Exalts). What would you be going for in the boots? I'd say spend your currency on something rare. Like a killer Bone Helmet or Convoking Wand. I'm the kinda player that waits to modify the almost perfect drop. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Annnnnd Wrecker of Days' One-Stop-Shop: Stress-Free Builds (& Filters): 1-Button, HC SSF, Item Freedom: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3467875	Posted by Wrecker_of_Days on Mar 24, 2020, 5:24:52 PM Quote this Post

Even if they move slowly, they cast enfeeble frequently and they nearly never die. That's an interesting solution. Maybe I'll try that or maybe just cast enfeeble, because it doesn't proc, no matter how much damage I take.	Posted by Elocara on Mar 24, 2020, 7:49:21 PM Quote this Post

Sadly I am just about to give up, since all I do since I started low level maps yesterday is dying. I basically can't do deliriums in maps because I die twice to every one despite trying to fall way back. Right now it looks like I can't get to the better gear with only frustrating death runs and no leveling. Maybe it's the chaos damage again, I can't find the missing 10%. Even got a real six-link before mapping to have actual stats, but it's not enough. I tried in a lower level area with casting enfeeble manually, since it still doesn't proc for me. With my coordination skills I can't keep it up in more dense maps. I'm a bit disheartened now, after it started out being such fun.	Posted by Elocara on Mar 24, 2020, 8:49:42 PM Quote this Post

I cast skeletons continuously. I actually sacrifices my run away skill for the phase run, maybe I better get my frostblink back then. Thanks for the insights. This discussion makes me wonder how the skill choices might vary with play-style because I also cast skeletons a lot. I've trained myself out of doing it as much because I realised that as they got more life (as I got more passives) mashing the skellies button meant I wasn't letting them live long enough to explode. So now I try to only cast skeletons when the count drops below 9, ideally 6 or less. I'm only just starting Act 10 and although I'm finding that "the best offence is a good defence" - things usually die fast enough that I don't need to care about defence - but some things just kill me too fast. For example, Izaro's green stuff is pretty much a 1-shot kill so the Ascendancies are a challenge (I only got the first 2 points so far). So I'm thinking about changing Phase Run for some other movement skill and maybe a different (wider) AoE skill instead of Ball Lightning to hit as many enemies as possible? Arc maybe?

For some reason I was reading the mechanic portion of the post as the zombie explosions were triggering the EE. Its the Ball Lightning in the CWDT trigger that casts that, Guess I wasn't getting hit enough !	Posted by Synicasm on Mar 24, 2020, 11:04:06 PM Quote this Post
