Witch - 3.14 KING OF ALL SUMMONERS. Zombies & Skeletons & Spectres on STEROIDS! | League-Start to End-Game - Forum

how much "Effect of Shock" may i set up in PoB when using Skitterbots (lvl 22 with global modifiers?) my current setup allows me to swap discipline with skitterbots. since i added a belt that allows me to cast enduring cry, i think i can make the switch permanent. EC gives me, together with the endurance passive that i had to take due to my lethal pride, another 16% reduction (only 4% on bosses with no adds) i still have 10k ES and 6k life, all res 76 and chaos res 75, which feels rather tanky. After reaching lvl 98 i thought i dont need to play it that safe anymore, and i honestly dont even feel the 1,5k ES loss while skitterbots seem to be a huge boost in dmg. if i set up PoB correctly by setting Effect of Shock to 36 (15%base and 21% from skitterbots gem itself), i am at 544k total DPS inc. Impale for each of my 17 minions. is that real? also, when using kingmaker, i could add maim to my 6L cyclone setup and drop fortify, right?

Skitterbots base shock effect is 15%, so at the very least you can use 15%. A level 23 Skitterbots should give you 22% increased shock effect (15 * 1.22), which is 18.3% total effect. It isn't additive on top of the shock you're already getting. https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Summon_Skitterbots Last edited by Sarclol#3094 on Feb 10, 2020, 3:51:26 PM	Posted by Sarclol#3094 on Feb 10, 2020, 3:47:39 PM Quote this Post

How is it possible to run all these auras especially without an Aul's ammy? The prices are through the roof for them. So what gem can I replace pride with since I can't really use it?

Get out of Death Attunement and save 8 passive nodes and then use those 8 nodes to better your build based on the build guide tree 2) Annoint your amulet with Death Attunement 3) Get quality on your flasks 4) buy the efficiency training jewels to get your strength over 1000. Check the build guide to see where to place these why annoint Death attunement? it seems fairly similar annoint Ravenous horde instead and get DA with skill points....u save at least one doing this	Posted by Paquitoman#1611 on Feb 10, 2020, 5:28:06 PM Quote this Post
I'm basically done with the league at this point. I just hit 36 challenges last night, so I'm pretty happy with what I accomplished. So I recently rolled a pretty good Lethal Pride jewel with 20% Strength in radius and a node with flat +20 strength. Without taking too many useless points, I was able to grab 15% strength and the flat +20 for 4 passive points. I used the Thread of Hope trick to free up some points, and wound up over 1800 for the extra zombie. PoB Fork calculated out combined DPS of 936,451 DPS per zombie, netting me 15,919,670 DPS total after appropriate buffs\auras\debuffs are taken into account. I started messing around with my build in PoB and started removing some points from the tree. After dropping my strength to 1600ish and picking up some aura nodes and the rest of the Ravenous Horde wheel again, I found that I could hit 1,027,785 DPS per zombie, giving me a total output of 16,444,560 DPS. I give up almost 400 life, and about 150 energy shield for roughly 525k DPS. I don't die at all as is, except to lag on Sirus or terrible positioning on Uber Elder. Think it's worth squeezing this tiny bit more DPS out of the build? I can probably get some more with some woke gems if I really wanted to.

So what gem can I replace pride with since I can't really use it? you can go 1 of 2 ways for the tanky build 1) Get an enlighten level 4 or 2) Stay with enlighten level 3 and instead buy the shapers touch corrupted gloves with Vulnerability on hit. Once you get the gloves, your curse comes for free and then you free up space in your chest for the following combination Pride - Discipline - Dread Banner - Flesh and Stone - Maim - Enlighten Level 3 The second choice is more expensive but is a much stronger build. Note that you need to take the Sovereignty cluster in the tree for this to work as shown in the build guide. The other builds can run even more aura's because the chest armor they use allow for more.

I think for your question only you can answer that... it's simply do you want more DPS or defence? Not sure what your eHP numbers are like in total, but you're getting about 3.3% more damage if you did the swap. How does that stack up against your eHP loss? Personally, I would stick with your current setup as you probably won't notice any difference with a 3.3% DPS gain when your damage is already so high.
