⛵☁️[3.25] The Arachnophobia Allstars| Chaos Guardian CI|The dirty Scorpion-tail|Herald of Agony 150M+
Pretty much done with gearing. Kinda lost in that long thread. I suggest u to add extra item sets in pob for a different versions of gear and skills. That would helped a lot. Anyway my question is how important withering step in that build? How much it will hurt dps if i'll swap it with dash?

" Removing withering step won't hurt dps at all. Monsters will still get withered stacks on them from the spiders. Below search in poe ninja might help if trying to see different gear options. There's a bunch of us at 100 or 99 and we all seem to have slightly different gear setups so it should give you some ideas. I'm sure we'd all love to follow the guide 100% but with some items being super expensive this league a few of us needed to make some adjustments. https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds?class=Guardian&item=Aegis-Aurora,Memory-Vault,Arakaalis-Fang&skill=Herald-of-Agony |

Any thoughts on swapping Ball lightning with Soulrend?
|

" Hi dimka_po, soulrend would be a very nice skill but is not building up 50-60 virulences continuous singletarget. I tried almost all skills of poe, and only ball-lightnings as fast hitting moving aoe is fast enough for 50-70 stacks and also only with spellecho - faster casting - slower projectiles. Cyclone, much other lightning skills, winter orb, void sphere are getting up to 40 virulences or even 45, but thereafter ball-lightnings rules them all. 40 stacks mapping is no problem, but singletarget you also want 50 stacks for damage and need ball-lightning. I would be keen on other alternative skills. In "jewels and clusters" "the golden rule", also further page 50, are all explanations about stacking virulences. |

" Yes, it's a long complex build. But mainly you need the spoiler "gear skill links" = there is all important stuff. Like stoudtlr writes, the guardian-mechanics and gear are complex and also the individual styles, but easy to compare in poeninja for example. Some experienced full levelled exiles want damage, some other exiles defences for smooth level 100. With different armours or different levels you need different mana-reductions or sockets, so it's complex, yes, and fine fun to optimize and individualize too. In the spoiler "Choose your edition - balance your defences and offensive Gear, Passive Tree and Path of Building (Panorama / Overview) Tipps and list for shopping and trading" all pob-s and the small changes in gear are guided. It's only ring and gloves, and eventually boots or cluster which are changing. You mean to make a setup for path of building for gearing with different gear in the pob-general stash to try out and switch the jewels, boots, gloves? A toolbox with all the alternative gear in the general stash of path of building? Very interesting and nice to individualize in path of building your gear, yes. It will take some time, I am also not a pob-professional. And it would be more for the pob-experienced users probably, but very interesting! Withering step is tanky and offers instant witherstacks for speedmapping. But you can change out easy your movementskill, there is a spoiler "examples for keybindings - Which movementskills are best?" in "spoiler faq" also about controls and movement and the movement-skill-cooldowns. For bosses etc. the withers are instant 0 when you use a skill, there the spiders do the full 15 withers. So use the movement you personally like most.

" This build is insane! Facetanking t16 awlvl 9 fully juiced trialmaster feels incredible. And my character was only lvl80 that fight. I admire your work. Can't imagine how much time you spent creating all that content. But for me it feels like the guide needs more structure. Thats probably because im noob and all my previous characters was attack based xD Speaking about pob. All trees can be united in single pob via "Manage trees" in a bottom left menu in a tree section. Same about items. Skills can be managed by custom labels. "Notes" section can store plain text. Some html can be used too i guess. But that probably will take too much of your time. |

Hi,
Not sure what i have done wrong, i have spent all my currency nearly and i am dying on tier 1 maps. Could you look at my setup please? I think the bots aren't being summoned enough, i can only use 2 auras so doing Grace and HoA (which i thought spawned minions). I am casting desecrate to kill the 2 flask worms and get mobs too but it sometimes takes too long for me to kill mobs and get the spiders spawning. I am not sure i am playing it right or if i am missing something. Any help is really appreciated. |
