The Allstars in [3.24] Necropolis
In the end of each league I try to summarize some aspects of the build and development of the league. The HoApolis  _______________ League mechanics
Spoiler
All allflames were easy to juice. With the corpsecrafts awesome HoA-weapons and helmets were done. With the tattoos I he build is extreme flexible to max 100% spell suppression, more es and and poison chances. 3.24 news:
Spoiler
In [3.24] Hoapolis the returning tattoos will free up full geared around 8 passivepoints and the keystone on skin of the lords. Some spell suppression notes and chance to poison could be switched out. B.i.s. geared 11-14 passives were free to spend. Nice new possibilities to choose were i.e. free to select the amulet-anoint. The allstars stacked also around 20% more ehp with es on tattoos in the build. With the new sapphire flask (+5-10 % increased max cold-resi) the synergies of aegis aurora and melding of the flesh became again much more valuable. 89% all max resis were fast reached. The boot-slot will become flexible and can be switched out to 10% more damage or easy management with the rainbow stride-boots. In general some movementspeed will get in too. Because the allstars travel much across int- and dex-notes and can get needed attributes easy on clustertransfers the build turns in 3.24 much more easy for all optimizations. The necromancer get much substain with ghost reaver and es-leech when wanted. The pathfinder get more easy 100% flask-uptime with some tattoos. Capping attack block got possible too. In rippy, not to scip, league-content and the new t17 map-mods the HoA-build defend with much more tanky defensive layers as other builds. Poison HoA vs. other minion builds
Spoiler
Very fine and nice holy relics leaded the minion-meta. A great build and only in t17 a bit squishy. HoA got buffed in movement, damage and qol and is b.i.s.-geared as strong as the mirror-priced bamas. _______________  Improvements of the build
Spoiler
Tornados of elemental Turbulences, Ball lightnings of orbiting Cyclone cwc is since 10 leagues again valuable until 100 HoA-virulences with tornados of elemental turbulences with ball lightning of orbiting. The adorned was u bugged and is useable in clusterjewesockets. Belt and weapon are much more flexible with it and2 jewel slots are getting free. The dark seer is buffing extreme flexible tankyness, es and Ehp 25%. PoB

Spoiler
No major changes. I improved the explanations about skin of the lords and keystones, levelling gear and alternatives. With cheap gear for 20 div I played the new champion from lvl 90 to 99 relaxed and tanky with 2 deaths. Leaderboards and Leaguestart
Spoiler
Congrats to all Arachnophobiatics! The dominant meta was ruled by DD and more. Also when often jugg and champ were chosen, the top of the board was again dominated by CI-Arachnophilias! I myself climbed rank 2 in the champion-ascendancy. Hehehehe X-) With cheap gear for 20 div I played the new champion from lvl 90 to 99 relaxed and tanky with 2 deaths. 1x dot-ignite beam of over juiced allflames killed me in high juiced plateau and 1x I forgot to activate tempestshield after a cluster swap. It was a beautiful leaderboard of Arachnophilia again! With some more very successful Arachnophobiatics! Trading
Spoiler
With high inflation in the whole market and many pricefixers it was probably one of the most expensive leagues. In example Ashes of the stars, clusters and the Adorned were cheap, but watchers eye with good mods and skin of the lords expensive. 3.25 will make it differently in currency-trading! Popularity of the build
Spoiler
When I counted correct it was the most popular build in the official necro and guardian forum. PlusOne Poe-podcast mentioned the build as most enjoyable minion-build in 3.24. Poebuilds.cc recommended again the Arachnophobia and Arachnophilia Allstars in both the ascendancies guardian and necro and both as budgetstarter as well as higher budget in variations. GhazzyTV again mentioned and adviced to the HoA-Allstars-builds in his streams. Thank you Ghazzy! Arachnophilia! PoE-Veteran Luetjeminze tried out some bow-builds in leaguestart. But beeing not convinced in their tankyness and qol in endgame with an loud "Arachnophilia forever!" he continued again the Herald and maxed out the HoA build one more time again. Overall in the dominating 85% relic-meta not many, but much more CI Arachnophilias as in former leagues stinged the woods. _______________ Outlook: 3.25, Jugg and more
Spoiler
Perhaps I optimize the jugg next league for Herald of Agony. Probably without CI. More Are there plans beside for serious Titan Quest or Grim Dawn Expansion, a new Sacred or follower of Dungeon Siege 1/2 already leaked - hehehehe? And MMXI awaits us soooon? Yeaah! After all again I am focussing on the news of PoE [3.24] - and am quite sure Poe II will be the upcoming meta for bitches, gourmets and maniacs like us in the whole Arpg-genre after PoE I. | |

Hello!
What about the new ascendancy? The two barkskin nodes + Oath of Spring sounds SUPER OP. In my opinion, a mageblood end game version seems like an improved Pathfinder. And still have two more ascendancy points for a permanent tincture, for example. I'm really Hype to try it out as Warden. What do you guys think? | |
" Yes, in lategame mageblood is best supported by skin of the lords for this build. Switching to the Warden should be good. Next week I will add an alternative pob for Warden. Last edited by Chromino on Jul 26, 2024, 6:31:42 AM

Hi Chromino,
Thank you for your great work with the build and for the community. Im looking to league-start this - by any chance you could do an updated POB @ / Before leaguestart? Br | |
" Hi Raybread, I am myself starting a bit delayed into league. I hope saturday the updates will be ready. Today still travelling without desktop-pc I start tomorrow after returning. Please take the default pob until then. In the following days I will do the tests about the new buffed blood and sand, perhaps replacing tempestshield, about armour-based-boots and more. All planned new possibilities are already listed in "3.25 news" in the top of the build. The build will be easy t-17 ready before with the default set-up. Do not forget granite + basalt-flask and increased armour-flask-suffix and the defences are extremely tanky. Last edited by Chromino on Jul 26, 2024, 12:15:10 PM

All pob`s are updated!
We lost only at first sight 3k armour and 0% evasion. With the buffs 3.25 to spellblock we can easy compensate this completely 100% with only switching one large spellblockcluster to battle hardened for increased armour and evasion. So the build is not affected at all and is much more flexible with using auras and spellblock as in [3.25]! Cheers! Let's settle! I wish a best new league to all Arachnophobiatics and will add minor improvements soon! Last edited by Chromino on Jul 27, 2024, 1:17:16 PM

Hey, i just started playing as Toxic rain + HoA build (I played on this build many leagues ago).
Now I want to play it, earn some currency and switch to a another build. Can you tell me what I need (level and items) to comfortably switch to HoA CI? Thanks. | |
" With lvl 70-80 is a good spot to switch to CI. At this lvl all important defensive layers like spell suppression are almost capped and you reach 4 small clusters for 2x sublime form, uncompromising and self-discipline for the big tanky auras. Or of course having the currency of 1 div for the aegis aurora is an optimal moment. Keygear are the circles of nostalgia/ ambition (2c) and the medium and small clusters (1-5c) and as pathfinder well rolled flasks (t1 mods for 100% uptime). Later skin of the lords (2div) is still best for red t16-17. The complete comprehensive line-up is in the spoiler "tl;dr" shown. Last edited by Chromino on Jul 30, 2024, 3:05:29 AM

" So my plan: 1) I need this items from TL:DR 2 Circles of Ambition or Nostalgia (ambition cost 20-25c, nostalgia 1-2c) Small clusters uncompromising - sublime form - self control (i can't find this cluster in guide) 4-6 Medium Clusters Pure agony Pathfinder labyrint specs for flasks and all flasks from your guide. After this i just buy all items from TL:DR list? And what about skill gems, that's a lot choices in guide, im not sure what i need to take. I think i will can take 90 lvl, so i need choose "Levelling 90 with auras enabled" from https://pobb.in/AjnUL1mf, right? Sorry for stupid question, i really want play tanky ranger but PoE builds very difficult to me. I just wanna make "note" for me like Buy THIS items, THIS skill links, take this passives - now it's works. Then buy items from this list (in order) to be stronger lol Last edited by Cheezo4 on Jul 30, 2024, 10:21:34 AM

" Yes, exactly. The small clusters you find in the spoiler "clusters" explained and in the tradelist at the bottom an optimized tradelink cheap for "levelling" and a bit more expensive in the tradlist in "small clusters". I start ordinary with uncompromising for armour. No problem, the build handles so many defensive layers, it`s complex. |
