Headhunter is great and works fine. Poisoned killed mobs count as killed by yourself, so almost all kills you get buffed, see also spoiler "Null and void = headhunting". It's only difficult with increased by self-cursing, but for fast mapping and delirium-maps you get a lot defensive and high damage-buffs. Map fast and loot later with headhunter.

Breathstealers are a nice possibility for maps and trials, but not for bosses. Especially for trials very nice.

Unwavering crusade is best for the build, but you can try out the other ascendancies too. In your set-up try out enduring composure on a small cluster for more pdr.

thanks i didnt know that, it will open some possibility for on kill effects then, gonna research.

but as you know it costs many exalts whereas breathstealer i bought for 35 chaos. and enduring composure i only found on small cluster or megalomaniac, well it depends on cost, those last 5 points to level 100 is hard to get will have to use wisely. the unwavering crusade seems like a small damage boost compared to the more defences and auras i would get from unwavering faith + breathstealer. and headhunter doesnt give me bleed immunity like influenced belt.

and it is probably already answered somewhere i tried google search but I would like to know if I should path to grave pact for increased minion accuracy, i feel like mobs in trials just swarm me and keep hitting me, either the scorp is busy targeting other mobs or is missing.

Doesn't have to be poisoned. You get the buffs if any minion kills the enemy. I've used headhunter on my previous minion builds and it work without poison.

yes i cant get the lords armour with phase acro or iron reflexes due to their high cost so i cant max my armour currenty so that is why i am trying to get more pdr from ascendancy.

i am not using the arakali weapon, it is too clunky and useless during boss fights and i dont know how much damage the spiders do, and withering touch is a chance to poison not guaranteed. and since i am melee cyclone i am using anomalous withering step to give a good amount of stacks immediately even though not max stacks. but to also trigger molten shell for defensive up time and trigger spirit offering for more damage. i was lucky to find this trigger claw cheap at an early time, seems they got expensive. i enchanted it with 30+% minion damage to compensate for the spiders lost.

i am already having doubts about this setup because the agony guy cant seem to attack everything all the time. perhaps it would be better for trials but changed during bosses. but ditching the writhing jar and depending on mob kills ( ithought it didnt work because of the "YOU" modifier)

Arakaali's spiders almost doubles your damage, you have to count 15 withers in and when you use blindings (25% more ehp) or knockbacks there are more benefits possible. The spiders alone reach only 2 mill., but synergize perfect with the HoA in all setups. Withering touch is best for 15 withers. The spiders alone can clean t15 maps nice.

Withers of withering step are only fine for speedmapping when you rush through maps without using skills.
When you cyclone or use skills they are debuffed to 0.

When you use the build more closely you get more defensive and offensive increasements.
