[3.25] CheapBunny's Summon Reaper Ailmentalist | Ahuana's Bite | Call of the Void
|
As betrayal vorici bench craft is gone, crafting 6 off colors becomes very difficult on bow, it is suggested to fix the bow sockets colors first before crafting the mods, so that you can utilize "reduced attribute requirement" mod to increase the coloring odds.
Added new colors crafting guide. If you find coloring 6 off colors is a bit too much, alternative would be swapping brutality with hypothermia and use 5 off colors. Updated to 3.25 - Settlers of Kalguur League - Added POB for 3.25 - Ensnaring Arrow no longer make enemy count as moving, replaced Bubonic Trail with Tempest Rising boots - Now require Enlighten 4 (from Enlighten 3) in aura setup due to losing mana reservation efficiency from Bubonic Trail boots - Replace Ensnaring Arrow/Prismatic Burst setup with Elemental Hit of Spectrum/Culling Strike - War Banner reworked, no longer usable for range build, replace War Banner with Pride skill gem - No longer require Pride skill corrupted implicit on ring, replaced with Pride Aura Effect corrupted implicit - Restored +1 Pierce craft on gloves, as this build no longer using Ensnaring Arrow - Removed Taste of Hate - Added Chaos Golem to compensate for physical damage mitigation loss Previous Version Update
Spoiler
Updated to 3.24 - Necropolis League - Added POB for 3.24 - Remove +1 Pierce craft from gloves, as it would lower single damage (I made a mistake), so the build gets even more single target damage now - Remove Carrion Golem, and added Automation support for Molten Shell - Moved Vulnerability from 5L into 1L setup Updated to 3.23 - Affliction League - Added POB for 3.23 - Removal of Helmet Enchantment - Added Transfigured Reaper of Revenants as mapping setup  Introduction Hello Exile, Reaper is back! This is my third Summon Reaper build since it was introduced in 3.17. My previous Reaper build guide.

Summon Reaper (Hit based/Bleed/Poison) + Animate Weapon Necromancer
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3155821 Rupturing Bleed Summon Reaper Pathfinder https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3306752 Due to balance changes, I have stopped updating my previous Reaper build guide. And the new quiver, Ahuana's Bite from Ancestor league, has given me the idea to make another Reaper build, so here is it. As you might already can tell, Summon Reaper is my favorite skill in POE, it has been really fun making another version of Summon Reaper. While each of these versions are very different than the others, this version might the best one I have made so far. Once again, Reaper is Love <3. Build Thought
Spoiler
This build idea started with Ahuana's Bite. A big part of Reaper damage is coming from bleed, and to maximise bleed damage for minions, we need Ensnaring Arrow to cause enemy always counted as moving, hence a bow is needed. However, there wasn't any offensive quiver usable for minions before Ahuana's Bite introduced, so I thought I want to make Reaper build with Ahuana's Bite. Why Elementalist? Why ailments (chill and shock)?
Spoiler
I think the answer is pretty obvious. As a summoner build, we dont have enough damage to chill enemy reliably that is needed for Ahuana's Bite's damage taken bonus. Elementalist ascendancy allow us to chill enemy reliably even if our damage is low.  Besides, combining with Shaper of Storms, we can shock enemy reliably as well, hence able to gain huge damage boost by stacking ailment effects to boost both chill and shock effect.  Why scale both hit and bleed damage?
Spoiler
As this build invest a lot into damage taken stats (bonus from Ahuana's Bite, Vulnerability curse and Shock) which scales both hit and bleed damage, I thought it would be a waste if only uses bleed. Besides, increase minion damage bonus also scale both hit and bleed from Reaper. Build Mechanic
Spoiler
Ailment Effect
Spoiler
Below are the sources of ailment effect I used in the build, I am able to chill/shock uber bosses up to 40%/46% respectively. 1. Unbound Ailment support 2. Helmet Eldritch implicit 3. Abyss Jewel corrupted implicit 4. Breath of Lightning (Notable passive)  5. Elemental Hit of Spectrum (trigger Elementalist Shaper of Winter/Storms bonus) Call of the Void
Spoiler
This ring is extermely good defensively since this build can chill everything in the game up to 40%, which means 20% less damage taken. The all damage can chill you downside is also mitigated by element ailment immunity from purity of element aura. Reaper Consume
Spoiler
The Consume skills kill one allied damageable minion, then recovers 50% of the Reaper's life and applies a buff to the Reaper for a base duration of 6 seconds. The Reaper has 2 versions of this skill. Each version has its own cooldown. The buff grants the following effects: 40% increased attack speed 40% increased movement speed 30% increased Area of Effect 10% increased character size In this build, I feed Reaper with Golems, and because Elementalist ascendancy, golem will respawn 4 secs after consumed, so infinite food for reaper :).  Utula's Hunger
Spoiler
As this build is using many uniques, and all of them does not have life modifiers, I decided to use Utula's Hunger, which gives a lot of life and makes gearing a lot easier. NOTE : The downside is we cannot have any life modifiers in all of the gears including maximum life to minions However, life modifiers on jewels are not counted, so you can still have life/minions life on the abyss jewels. Defenses used in this build
Spoiler
1. Decent Armour (11k+ before flask) 2. 20% less damage from chilled enemy (Call of the Void) 3. 100% Spell Suppression 4. 75% chaos res 5. 2700 Elemental Aegis (from Elementalist ascendancy) 6. 500+ life regen 7. 40% chill 8. 60% reduced critical strike damage taken (from tattoos) 9. 1400+ Molten Shell 10. Elemental ailment immunity (from purity of element) 11. 12% physical damage reduction (from chaos golem) Build Problem
Spoiler
Clear speed
Spoiler
Transfigured Reaper of Revenants Transfigured Reaper of Revenants introduced in 3.23 can greatly help improving clear speed. Swap to regular Summon Reaper for bossing. Oriath's End I do not use any explosion to help with clear in this build because the clear speed is already good enough for me, but I think that it might be not up to standard for others who are used to zoom zoom playstyle, so please check out the map clearing video first to see if you like it before playing this build. Unlike ordinary bleed Reaper build, this build invest into some attack speed/movement speed for minions, so this Reaper actually attack and move faster than a bleed Reaper build would, hence able to clear faster. Golems also help a bit in clearing too, not much but still. However, if you are willing to invest more, Oriath End + Spiritual Aid (passive skill notable) combo would make mapping smoother. Videos
Spoiler
(PS : I played with +1 pierce + Ensnaring Arrow the entire league, so the actual single target damage should be much higher than what is showcased in the videos.)

Spoiler
Use Zombie and SRS to level from act 1 until you get Summon Reaper in act 3 (level 28). Reaper is pretty strong in campaign, you can use Reaper together with SRS throughout the campaign. Because this build is scaling both hit and bleed damage, so there is no rush to change into bow. This is my setup at level 70. https://pastebin.com/6B2kVZgz Ascendancy

Would 50div be enough to get this from the ground?
| |
" Yes, I spent about 40div on this build |
|

hey i've seen your build on poe.ninja before you put the guide out there and playing it for a few days already.
if you want to craft the bow from the ground up (with fractured minon damage), you have to spam faceted fossils until you get +1 level to socketed strength gems, annul everything else and pray that the +1 stays, after that you craft -> "can have up to 3 crafted modifiers" and "cannot roll attack modifiers", this blocks the suffix portion of the bow, then you slam an exalt to guarantee the +1 to socketed gems. oh yeah, and thanks for the build!:) | |
" Nice :), will add that into the guide |
|

Please help! I can't access the link skill tree https://pastebin.com/rqik4PVi

" Not sure if you are using POB, you need to paste the link in POB. Use this link if you dont have POB. https://pobb.in/cMurg1WeveQe Last edited by cheapbunny on Oct 6, 2023, 7:07:10 AM

Builds like this make PoE the great game that it is. I think the current league is the best state the game has been in since I started playing in Blight. I really hope Tattoos go core. I have so many builds I wanna try this league and you just added another one to the list :D

" :D, this build is using two Ancestor uniques, might be dead if Ancestor does not go core sadly. |
