ABOUT
Poison Spiders Occultist build focuses on survivability while still having good damage.
It has lots of armour, life and energy shield recovery and block cap without glancing blows.
However, the minions do poison damage, so there is a ramp up time for full DPS.
The build requires many specific items, and will be expensive. And I’ve also included alternative gems, if you want to use the Squire.
Gearing
Passive Tree & Jewels, Ascendancy, Pantheon and PoB Pastebin
MASTERY
Minions have +250 accuracy rating
20% increased effect of offerings
10% increased life
+50 maximum life
2% life regen when moving
+20 life/mana when you block
+1% attack block per block on shield
Determination 25% increased efficiency
PANTHEON
Major: Brine King (freeze immunity)
Minor: Ryslatha (refill Writhing jar flask)
Gear, Gems & Links, Flasks
GENERAL
Here is an overview of the gear, including gems, links and examples.
Note that the build uses many uniques.
HELMET
For the helmet, use Ancient Skill with Flesh Offering attack speed enchant.
The gems are: Diving Ire, Cast while Channelling and Desecrate.
There’s also unlinked Flame Dash.
Use this gem combination with the Writhing Jar to raise spiders.
BODY
For the body armour, use the Brass Dome to ignore extra damage from critical hits.
*You don't need the corruption!
The gems are: Molten Shell, Determination, Vitality, Tempest Shield, Skitterbots and Enlighten.
The build will still work fine with Enlighten 3.
GLOVES
For the gloves, use Asenath’s Gentle Touch for Temporal Chains.
The gems are: Cyclone, Cast while Channelling, Desecrate, Divergent Flesh Offering.
You don’t need to use Cyclone all the time. Just use it to trigger Flesh Offering and to curse monsters on hit.
BOOTS
For the boots, try to get lots of resistances and movement speed.
The gems are: Malevolence, Increased Area of Effect, Awakened Generosity and Empower.
You can skip Empower if you want to save some currency.
WEAPON
The weapon is Arakaali’s Fang.
And you can ignore the stats because they don’t affect your minions.
The gems are: Multistrike, Awakened Unbound Ailments and Withering Touch.
If you want to save currency, Divergent Multistrike is about 10% less DPS compared to Awakened Multistrike.
SHIELD
For maximum survivability, use Aegis Aurora.
But the Surrender or a rare shield with life recovery are cheaper options.
The gems are: Vaal Skeletons, Feeding Frenzy and Culling Strike.
Use the skeletons against Pinnacle bosses for extra DPS.
You can trade survivability for a big DPS boost with the Squire. Use Awakened Melee Physical Damage, Awakened Void Manipulation and Divergent Minion Damage.
(should be awakened void, but I can't find mine)
AMULET
The amulet should be Aul’s Uprising with Malevolence.
Anoint the amulet with Testudo for extra attack block.
RINGS
You will probably need the rings to get Strength and Dex.
One of the rings must have Despair curse on hit.
BELT
For the belt, use Darkness Enthroned with a Ghastly Eye jewel and Amananu’s Gaze.
Your minions get 20% dot mod thanks to the 75% increased effect from Darkness Enthroned.
RECOMMENDED FLASKS
• Life with bleed immunity
• Basalt with extra armour
• Quicksilver
• Rumi's Concoction
• Writhing Jar
i've like 5 dilve it could be league starter for me with less items ?
Im missing somewhere but in SRS Bomb, why do we have both Molten Shell and Bone armor?
I see Molten Shell is on left click, so it will trigger constantly but Bone armor and it can't be at the same time, right?
Bone Armor is from Bone Barrier, which we take for the minion life bonus. With good gear, Molten Shell is better. Just use the best one.

Thank you for the anwer
Yeah bone barrier gives 20% more minion life so it's an easy 20% more damage. Bone armour is really nice for levelling because it's 2200 shield. Then after you get some good armour + high level determination you can use molten shell instead!

Are all items required to play the spider build?
Cause i have Arakaalis Fang and some other Items but not the shield and the belt.
Or what items do I need to play it at least?
