A8 completed (first time ever)... was a bit tough keeping enough stacks on him with storm burst, but overall not too bad. 2 deaths, one early because I didn't move quick enough to avoid the sucking (after phase 1) and the other just bad dodging.
Face tanked quite a few hits in there, so feeling pretty decent about it. Last edited by Valsacar#0268 on Nov 27, 2021, 1:08:25 PM

would awakened/regular void manipulation work better instead of withered in our dagger? i swapped in, and according to POB my dps went up, but id feel better if someone with more knowledge actually took a look

" Extreme nice updated and optimzed Congratulations! Very strong and insane damage! And the new belt is masterpiece when you use purity of elements, yes. It stacks 800 es? Boooooh, absolute great! How do you feel about spellsurpression and es on hit of watcher's eye without ball-lightning with stormburst? And did you still not tried fullblock? I catched a juicy one I guess .... the chaosresistance is sooooo bad....and it's only fitting for fullblock I fear, monik ;-) I like it to call the best of best in slot. It's the - b.o.b.i.s. - ;-) This is a cute beast too, 360 es more each sec, after vaaling 10 or 11 lvl 20's I got it late (worst was I needed 900 vaal orbs to chromatic the despair-corrupted 6-link-gloves correct, lol): mmmhmm, this small mech is really like a decoytotem: But I decided in my heart for tankyness: The blindings raise my buffed evasion from 90% to 95% - that is ingame 50% less attacks taken. Now I reached with the shield above also my overcapped blockings. 76% attackblock, 75% spellblock fullblock (with rare boots integrated increased duration). I am still trying out if will shaper's 300 more es or spellsurpression on another juicy cluster is more valuable. But I guess this unique block-buster-cluster is best in slot beacause I can regret also 2-3 spellblockpassives with it and it's feeling totally immortal with capped fullblock wrapped in 95% evasion and frostwalls in the cws set-up. So I switched also in the triadgrips because I cannot die, yeeeahh. 600k ehp up to 1.2M physical ehp are counted... For Sirus A8 I took iron reflexes instead ghost dance to facetank him easy... Lvl 31 HoA reached too easy in full tankyness... I choosed the faster casting-anomalous spellecho-combo and phaserun reaches added 132% movementspeed with quicksilver and onslaught (I personally don't need 180% movementspeed and more, but it would be possible to switch in). I took out stormbrands because tempestshield's chains proccs enough virulences automatic for maps, and took added poisonchance on a buffed HoA-effect-ring, to get full benefits of the es on hit watcher's eye-mod. With that cast speed it's a joy to facetank and get that much es on hit. Last edited by Chromino#4813 on Nov 28, 2021, 7:17:59 AM

" Withering touch is needed mandatory for 15 withers buffing big HoA, multistrike is needed for attackspeed and the third is free to choose. In HoA lvl 31 feeding frenzy is most strong, lower level unbound ailments is best. |
|
" so the setup is there primarily to funnel DPS into HoAG, and we're not as concerned about buffing the spider DPS? right now i have awakened UA (lvl5) - splash/multistrike (lvl 20)(swap for bosses) - withering touch (lvl 20) |

" yes, exactly and perfect...! |

As someone who hasn't played a lot of classes... this guide doesn't really tell me how to play this build. I'm following the leveling pob but my damage is garbage and half the time I wonder what the skills do or what I'm suppose to press xD
A introduction to: this is what the build does (not X damage X defese) would be nice ;) I have storm brand, chance to poison, faster casting, ball lightning now - do I stop using freezing pulse? Do you spam cast storm brand? I'm confused xD Is it normal to not have the dex to level the skills? Last edited by hachel#6279 on Nov 27, 2021, 7:17:17 PM

" +++ Hehehehe, and here the 100 shines like you told us not long ago! +++ Congratulations to monik390! An awesome fulldamagebuild, the first arachnophil 100 reached with the new keystone ghost dance and 37k evasion, glancing blows, purity of elements .... And that's impressive - simulacrum wave 30 farmer with top of top 15 M damage! Best maxed up!! It seems that the build is in this damage oriented peak also with low es and gb so tanky to go relaxed for 100. Great done! Let the ghosts dance! You optimized the build on the damagesite in many points - congratulations, and you varied very, very interesting the path of arachnophilia! Thank you again! https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/monik390/NoPantsYesSpiders?i=5&search=class%3DGuardian%26skill%3DHerald-of-Agony Last edited by Chromino#4813 on Nov 28, 2021, 8:33:08 AM

" To compare properly Withering Touch and Void Manipulation in PoB, uncheck withered stacks from 15 to 0 when using Void Manipulation. Withered increases chaos damage taken by 6% for each stack. So it's 90% more damage for both spiders and crawler with 15 stacks applied by spiders. Withering Touch put in Arakaali's Fang and full chaos damage conversion is by far the best damaging gem for the entire build, not just for spiders. And you can not get so reliable withering from anything else. Totems on 3-link still can die. Withering Step applies only 8 stacks. Skeletons... Ugh, need a Skeletal Atrophy on a big cluster too. " Thanks =) " Oh, I never paid attention to how much ES it gives. Exactly 891, wow. I thought, that it could be even better with increased ES recovery instead of reduced flask charges, but the latter is fine too. Well, huge amount of ES from crystal belts is the reason why I prefer them over stygians overall. " About ES on WE - I'm using <cyclone OR storm burst + cast while channeling + ball lightning> I didn't test it without ball lightning at all. What I can say, on a sirus a8 the only thing I dodged - meteor, simply because I don't dare to take it =) Everything else was just facetanked. All degens besides giant balls were overhealed by ES on hit. I didn't record this fight, but all I did - mostly just stood in one place and casted my crap. In simulacrum with cyclone against normal monsters it feels freaking good. And against Kosis with storm burst, it is amazing too. I could save a lot of time just facetanking his barrage instead of dodging it. The only thing I have to dodge against kosis now is his super slam. About spell suppression - it is really good. I was running with 25% until I got a new WE, and it was worth using for sure. 2 examples: 1. Temple Atziri, which I did weeks ago with 5k ES. 2 flameblasts: first one-shotted me, second was suppressed and damaged for only half of my ES pool. So I had 25% to reduce damage from a big hit by half. 2. Against small hits: 25% suppression means each 4th hit will be halved. If we take a look at the bigger picture where we receive a big amount of hits: We take 3 spell hits for 100% damage and one spell hit for 50% So, it means that we take 87.5% (25 + 25 + 25 + 25/2) damage instead of 100%. That's a very solid 12.5% reduced spell damage taken overall. " For running full block I have to change too many things, so I decided not to do it. The current build was tailored for my needs and works perfectly fine. Also, I'm already very tanky. Did some bosses yesterday (2x maven 10, the hidden, sirus a8, maven boss fight) and 2 simulacrums. Besides 1 mandatory death on maven's last memory game, everything else was deathless and quite trivial. As for maps, ugh... Whatever juice, whatever tier, whatever scourge stack, whatever mods besides no regen. I can steamroll it all at ease. I will go full delve after finishing the feared and other peak encounters. Really wonder which depth will stop me =) " Oh, that aegis and megalo. Congrats =) They are so damn good. Yeah, hard work pays off. Watching your ehp numbers paired with solid dps makes me a bit jelly =) In any case, in 3.16 this build is a lot better than in any previous leagues in all fields, be it damage or tankiness. |

" Thank you very much too, Ertiks! Yes, you geared and skilled up fine & nice! Arachnophilia! |
