⛵☁️[3.25] The Arachnophobia Allstars| Chaos Guardian CI|The dirty Scorpion-tail|Herald of Agony 150M+

Just wanted to leave a brief comment after playing around with this for the last month. Very extensive build guide (although maybe almost a bit too much information). Thanks Chromino!

I'm running a bit of a hybrid with Ebers, Ghost Dance and full block. Bit of a pain to get the attributes right.

Currently trying to get hold of some large block clusters that are not 30+ ex.

Got this one, which would be nice to use with cyclone, but losing a jewel socket would hurt:



Determination/grace & extra block aegis would be nice too as I'm running out of sockets, but far too expensive.

found my answer ty

Yep, made it.



Besides legion, which was free for me (guildmate shared), everything else solo.

Did the feared with just 1 death on my second try.

Priority to kill:

Atziri > Shaper > Elder > Synth > Chayula.

Atziri is super dangerous, so kill her first no matter what asap. Too much aoe that can cover the entire arena.

Shaper becomes unbearable after some time bc of the ground cold dot zones.

Elder is easy, but siphon is toxic. Somehow I tanked his huge boom.

Synth is... Dunno, had almost no impact during the fight. But he deals heavy lightning damage.

Chayula works as a pocket healer, so just let him live.

I didn't change anything in my build for this fight, but was using a sapphire flask against shaper/elder. Topaz flask should work too against synth and atziri.

As for other pinnacle encounters, I'd say flawless breachstone was the hardest. Convocation is a must there.

Ravaged Blighted just like a normal blighted map. I was using the stun-lock setup described below, for the first time ever:

And simulacrum, well yeah. 16 of them are done, so no problem here.

The build is legit all content viable.

Edit: I forgot to say, that I'm NOT good at the feared fight at all. This was my second win ever. And it was a lot harder bc of the simultaneous fight. So, build mattered more than my own skill here.

Level 100 shines arachnophobiatic again! Congratulations to EggiYoyoG!

Pathing Fullblock, the key of iron choosen on the breast, 7.5 k Es, added block on a b.i.s. scourged aegis, freeze-immunities on scourged rainbows, heading to the legacy Memory vault .... That is awesome again!

Arachnophilia!

Managed to grab this up for 8ex:


Not the perfect stats (30 dex would have been nice) but everything else is good and it came with a charisma already anointed, so it felt like a great deal.

Now that I have the extra mana, I'm leveling up a defiance banner to replace something... Either moving determination onto shield if I can afford one, or swapping out tempest shield which hasn't really felt great.

I still feel quite squishy in content like a8 Sirius and my ES seems really low, so I'm trying to figure out what to do next. I think my next focus will probably be a crystal belt to beef up my ES and dropping one of the circles of nostalgia finally to re-cap my resists.

Hi, thanks for a great build (the most enjoyable minion gameplay I've ever played). I put together a build for a simulacrum and this is what I got. 30/30 waves, 4.8 rewards with three bad mods, 5.5 with two bad mods, almost six without mods. but boss fights could take up to 8 minutes with bad mods (good cleanup but bad single target).
70 stacks of virulence from gloves

I wanted more than five awards and went here, changed colors, buy a headhunter, an ancient helmet, stole an idea use purity of element (thx btw), as a result, I did not go beyond 27 waves and 4 awards without bad mods - (the dps fell although but pob shows the opposite). Absolutely unplayable.

I decided that the problem was in two voices, sold one, buy triad grip with enfeeble so as not to die, buy an eber with a mana reservation, removed the sniper mark, completely changed the tree. now it looks more like a build from a guide (chaosversion).

Twice more dps than in the very first version, but I didn’t go beyond wave 28, barely 5 awards, I didn’t notice the difference in boss fights, they still fight slowly. Maybe I am doing something wrong? (I'm so sorry for my english TT)

Are u sure you have good uptime of virulence with cyclone on bosses? How about using storm burst-cwc-bl-chance to poison?

Cyclone screws up both kosis and omniphobia quite often.

I clearly noticed the difference between 11m dps and 15.5m assuming I have max virulence most of the time.

Have you checked how eber's works? Void Gaze isn't triggering constantly while channeling. You have to refresh it each 10 seconds, manually.

What about spirit offering uptime? Is it good during boss fights?

Spiders? 18-20 of them right?

Although I am running with glancing blows, the only simulacrum I failed to clear was that one with Iron Reflexes. I never failed 30/30 with Ghost Dance.

I also suggest you get more than 6k ES. Like 6200-6400 is the sweet spot. Well, for me.

About rewards. 5 is the average for me, 6 is doable on good layouts like bridge or sarn, but not each wave.
My guildmate playing coc ice spear 800ex build with 50m dps gets similar results.

Just forget about 6 rewards for each wave on each simulacrum with this build. It is not just about dps, layout matters much. Also, you need the build that clears 2 screens in 1 tap for that.

Edit: In my 1st 30/30 ever, I removed 60% of kosis life and full shield stage within 40 seconds:

I was doing 11m dps here, not perfectly sustained. Screwed up a few offerings and spiders.

Hehehehe, these voices clusters are beautiful....

:-)

Like monik390 writes, probably you don't generate full 60 virulences and loose a lot damage without.

You can take with cyclone resolute technique for more hits and virulences, the spiritual command-passive to raise attack speed, and poisonchance with circle of nostalgia raised HoA buffed effect.
Or take in gravepact instead one pure agony cluster or use ball-lightning/ stormburst.

That is absolutely total nice wonderful great!

Congratulations!

The Feared are really tough and simultanously they are the deep nightmare!

Arachnophilia! You kicked them perfect!

Can I run AG with this? Which nodes should I take if so. Thanks!
