" Don't worry about questions sb001001! Ask as many as you like :). It was a good question. The only other thing I'll mention is...the reason I bothered levelling Cyclone past level one is because the skill's AoE increases with its level. So the more Cyclone hits, the more defensive we are. BUT, as Rex said, the perks of a higher level Cyclone aren't worth the Dex requirement. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

" well, crap. back to the trade store..... |

" " Exactly what I needed clarified, thanks! I went through the list again picking out useful anoints that aren't already in our passive tree. Hopefully I didn't miss anything good or accidentally miss it on our tree. I checked the current prices of oils in Ritual and gave a rough estimate of what I'd expect to pay (given the first few on the lists never respond). For SSF, that's a good estimate for the difficulty in acquiring the oils. Sacrifice Minions have +10% to all Elemental Resistances Minions have 20% increased maximum Life Minions Regenerate 1% of Life per second Regenerate 1% of Life per second Teal, Violet, Azure Oil = 3-5c Righteous Army (Alternative if you took Sacrifice on the tree) Minions deal 20% increased Damage Minions have 20% increased maximum Life Minions Regenerate 1% of Life per second Regenerate 1% of Life per second Verdant, Verdant, Black Oil = 3-5c Juggernaut 6% increased maximum Life 20% increased Armour 20% increased Life Recovery from Flasks Opalescent, Amber, Team Oil = 7-10c Hired Killer 6% increased maximum Life Recover 2% of Life on Kill Opalescent, Violet, Violet Oil = 7-10c Devotion +20 to Strength 8% increased maximum Life 3% increased effect of Non-Curse Auras from your Skills Silver, Crimson, Crimson, = 20-25c Growth and Decay 20% increased Damage over Time Regenerate 1% of Life per second +10% to Damage over Time Multiplier Clear, Gold, Team Oil = 40-50c Heart of the Oak 20% chance to Avoid being Stunned 8% increased maximum Life Regenerate 1% of Life per second 20% increased Stun and Block Recovery Gold, Verdant, Crimson Oil = 40-50c The choice is easier for RF, since our options for offense and defense overlap quite often. The competition for the best anoint comes down to 8% max life vs 10% damage over time multiplier (Heart of the Oak vs Growth and Decay). At around 50 chaos each, it's affordable either way. Gold oils don't show up until very late game in SSF. My budget pick would be Hired Killer. That 2% regen on kill will make you practically invulnerable against swarms. It might even be a 'best' option depending on what you're doing. Sacrifice is a really cheap option that gets us a simple 1% regen. For anyone struggling to sustain RF, slapping that on their amulet could get them going. |

First of all: Thanks for the great guide! Very fun and chilling to play. Made it to level 89 but now I'm beginning to struggle with higher red maps.
Now I got a nice helm with +burning damage and concentrated effect, so I thought it would be a good idea to put a 4link RF setup in the helm to free up the armor slot for something even more defensive like Kaoms Heart armor. But now I struggle to equip the golems anywhere which I had previously placed in the helmet slot. Does anybode have an advice which gems I could safely drop? What about the CWDT setup with purifying flame if I use a flask to create consecrated ground? Or would it be wise to link combustion to Cyclone while dropping the life gain on hit gem? Thanks for help in advance :) |

" Hi Monki, you're ahead of me in terms of this particular build version and I can't see your gem setup (profile is private) but I dropped summon skitterbots early on as I wanted more "instant defense". Depending on the level and quality of your Stone Golem and your tree, you could potentially drop Vitality if you're getting enough regen from other sources. You could swap Fortify for Life Gain on hit if you're getting hurt in mobs. Or if you want MORE golem buff strength and perhaps damage you could more the golems to a 6L chest. I'm not experienced enough with golem builds to suggested maximized linking, but other guides do exist. You may be able to tinker with the PF/CWDT set up to get something more suited to your needs. I personally use it, but don't believe it gives me that great an advantage since it's a "lighter" AoE and I'm usually moving around quite a bit during fights so even if it goes off, I've already moved on and likely killed what was in it's path. |

" Check my gem setup. I did it a few days ago already, definitly not the best but it kinda works. I'll also try to swap my RoP for a 2nd scepter with trigger a socketed spell, but it seems to have some kind of internal cd like 4-5 sec. However i'm kinda very squishy, since swapping to rf lvl 74 i died 3 relevant times. Once on 2boss of atziri due to bleeding, one time on a blight boss, and a random crits from something. Edit; also my first thought about this build, probably not red map viable without at least 15ex invested Last edited by Haattila#3751 on Jan 28, 2021, 3:34:00 AM

Thanks for your input @Rex and Haattila.
I experimented a bit with various gem combinations and for now I dropped the CWDT + Purifying Flame + WoC + Combustion setup to make space for the Golem setup in my gloves. I linked Combustion to the three Golems and I've since been using a flask to create Consecrated ground and it works quite fine so far. At least I am dying a lot less at the moment - managed to get to level 90 finally :D PS. Profile is set to public now. :) |

" Thanks for putting this together - so very helpful. Remember to check your talismans in your Rituals - you may find a decent one with a usable anoint. If in a trade league it's a great way to get a golden oil anoint w/o spending golden oil prices. <3

"Hey mongomonki! I'm glad you're liking the build! Sorry things are petering out for you. Kaom's Heart is a tricky one to add. The build synergizes well with all suggested gems. If you weren't married to the chest, you could add the golems and Holy Relic to the chest and get some more survivability there. Getting rid of Combustion would really lower damage. PF could be dropped but the current setup does have Consecrated Ground all over the place. It's a hard choice. I don't have a suggestion for you unfortunately as that is a unique I don't bother with cause I personally always choose gems over it. If there's something about the build you're struggling with, I'd be happy to help you out. But when it comes to uniques...the pros and cons are up to you. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast
