Update in the "advanced" section for a new cluster jewel stacking strategy I've been having some success with.

how can you have 6 renewal? is the 'effective dps' of renewal getting smaller with more renewal?

You can roll renewal on medium cluster jewels as well. So for each chain, you can get 1 from large and 2 from medium.

Sorry, but I'm a bit new to the game.
Why is it good that magic items drop identified for this build?

So I have just crafted this insane amulet:

My question is, should I craft aspect of the avian on it?

Right now I am using this Skin of the loyal

I am considering to swap to Saqawal's Nest but I am not sure if it gives more DPS and clear speed in combination with the amulet.
Anybody got some advice for me?

The move to Avian imo needs several items to be really effective, I'm sure there's other ways to make it work however in my experimenting having other key items like Devouring Diadem and Timeless jewel for corrupted soul makes it go from good to great. Several other notes I've made in here, and Molok is going to update so I'm sure you'll get some ideas there too.

Also @ aka2411, I've decided to focus on core map clears for now and I'm definitely having the most fun with Zombs elemental prolif with the 2 renewals -- my movespeed stays consistently above 200 and everything dies as I run by them at least normal t16 delerium maps as hard as I can make them. I don't necessarily need the prolif, but it serves the purpose of keeping damage from mobs to my minions (and me) at an absolute minimum and maximizing the output of the 2 renewals.

Also, once you have a higher chaos res (or even if its not very high), Forbidden taste rocks with the corrupted soul setup there's no noticeable loss of ES I can spam it if I wanted to.

I wanted to figure out if Saqawal's Nest gives me more dps in combination with Aspect of the Avian crafted on the amulet, but after putting it in PoB even with a double corrupted Saqawal's Nest I would lose about 15% of my dps so I'll stay with the Skin of the loyal.
On the other hand I managed to fit in Aspect of the Avian by linking Skitterbots and Hatred to a lvl 4 Enlighten. Skitterbots might not have Bonechill now anymore but the quality of life that Aspect of the Avian gives makes up for it imo.
I have nearly 600k shaper dps per weapon rn and that is with a melee splash support in my setup.

Hey guys, so I did my spin of the build idea from the league start and decided to share it with you all since the build is done. I've completed all content (including 100% delirium guardian maps, sirus 8, uber elder and all of the other bosses), hit level 100 and am 14 crusaders from 40/40 challenges without purchasing any of the challenges and built a small fortune of a couple mirrors in pure currency.

https://pastebin.com/RSq8gE0Y 50ish mil shaper dps, can get more damage.

I was looking to increase my survivability without losing too much of the damage so decided to run the bone offering along the flesh offering, specced into bone barrier considering how much damage I had it seemed to be the right choice and used plenty of purity nodes along double purity watcher's eye to not only increase my elemental resistances, but physical mitigation as well. Ocasionally I used to run basalt flask instead of quicksilver, but it didn't seem necessary after getting the eye.

If you have any specific questions feel free to write me IGN: Coronabolic I'd also appreciate any improvements if you find any - seemed pretty polished to me except for, maybe, a couple of jewels.

EDIT: also have a frostbite on hit double minion ring in case i would've decided to run double curses but extra damage didn't seem necessary.

Thanks for the build

Can someone help, I just starting T16 maps and i started dying alot and instakilled


can someone give me any tips ?

Has Animate Guardian stopped working for anyone after this morning's patch?

It was working fine last night and I have not made any changes to my character.

Hi all

How there is supposed to sustain mana? If skitterbots+bonechill reserve 42% and Hatred 50% its meaning with 1000 mana pool 80 free mana? 6-link animated weapon cost ~60
With these number this is not playable smoothly...

You'll need to path to the following on the passive tree:

- Sovereignty (below Purity of Flesh)
- Tireless (northeast of Resolute Technique)
- Aligned Spirits (north of Elemental Equilibrium)

Get an enduring mana flask (flask effect not removed at full mana).

Go inside a map, press enduring mana flask once, bladefall, summon animate weapons. Rinse and repeat as necessary.

I can't seem to find a Convoking Wand with those modifiers...

Any replacement I should take (that can also get the cast on skill craft)? Or am I not good at finding items at all?

This is the most fun Animate Weapon build i ever played, i gotta give it to you, really enjoying it so far
