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

Hey, this build looks awesome and its sick how much time u must have put into this guide, thanks a lot for all theese details and information.

but
all theese variations are confusing me, should i just stick to the absolute defense guideline and be able to clear everything comfortably or would u recommend another variation? i like being/clearing fast. is this the case with defense build and/or would making the build faster make me lose a lot of defense?

can u tell anything like a pro/con comparison to vatinas build guide? i saw u were relating to it. i cant decide wich one to start yet.

thx a lot again, i love people who take the time to give semi noob players like me detailed guides and not just a pob and i apreciate you putting all this time in here.


Edit: I found the comparison to hop build in the guide (and even just now realised it was hop and not hoa also -.-) so u can skip that part thanks :P

Hi,

I started the template.

Ball ligntning + poison + spell echo + GMP doesnt proc my agony crawler ... i don't understand why.

So actualy, i use cobra lash + GMP + poison + faster attack which work

Hi Arkanis Gath,

yes, you need a chance to poison and chaos damage with your ball-lightnings or attack to raise the scorpion and get virulences.

Before you get the ring "circle of nostalgia", take lesser poison support or poison support and added Chaos damage to your attacks in a jewel.

In the guide you find it in the Spoiler "gear, links, skills" next to circle of nostalgia and it's in the Spoiler "tipps for starting and levelling".

Cobra lash works also and a lot other poison skills.

Wish you much fun!

Oh silly me, ofc.

Thanks for your reply.

I will stay with cobra lash while levelling and will see after

Hi Schnubbel,

I would advice:

Until level 98 all variants and all editions work well.

For level 100 in high content take the definitive defensive edition, you will die less like of offscreen damage, deeper delve crits, high heists big mobs etc. . You have enough damage for all bosses and for speedmapping.


For Maven and full delirium take the Offensive Edition 55/60 virulences, you get much more damage balanced up by still having top defences. When you don't want reach 100 and only 96, 97, I would advice also this variant.

Yes, you can try easy both herald-styles of agony and purity. You found the spoilers, hehe, sorry for the long build. In the spoiler Pack of purity is the variant explained and on Page 25 I try to compare their stats and their ups and downs. Vatinas build is amazing. But I think the Allstars are better in defences and offensives with 4- 8 mill. damage and with the 600k ehp buffed of the arachnophobiatic allstars I know no other build on the whole tree offering so much defences.

I personally would decide if you like more the cyclone style of HoP or ball-lightnings of HoA. Vatinas build works almost without clusters, this build you can take also for HoP with clusters.

Last league there were some different interests of different gamers. Some gamers like more fast damage, some gamers like more tankyness, some like cyclone and some ball-lightning, etc. So I tried to offer all the different modulations and this can be confusing.
But in best case it's interesting how you can adjust and easy balance the build to your individual goals in poe.

In the spoiler "gear panorama overview" are the advices how to choose your balance of defences and damage. And it's easy to try all editions in lategame if you want, it's only different in one ring, gloves and medium/ small cluster.

Thank you a lot, for me was (and is...) writing and improving the build much fun also and I like the discussions and interesting questions a lot! Let it swarm fast!

Hey there :) I am a very casual poe player , finding hard to beat endgame content.So i've red alot of your build guide, but i am still confused is there a build variation that can lead me through league start to end game (lets say easily) . ofc i hate dying so i guess the first variation would fit pefectly, but i've tried few "tank" builds before and i felt like no point of not dying when u are killing a rare boss in 5 min :P . Is the transition from league start to end game kinda easy, without the need to spend 50 ex or so.I know how i sound..everyone wants tank build with 100 mil dps for 1ex.. but :) I had lost alot of time trying builds that said ..little investment and most of the times "little" was 150 ex so u can clear some endgame content. Ofc i am not talking about 1 sec kills of endgame bosses, but can a casual player use 1 variation aof your build and still be able to clear the game? thanks in advance :)

Hey AlexaAndonov,

the build is very cheap for beginning - after some days after leaguestart ordinary around 1 - 3 exalted for almost all gear. Only helmet- enchant, Watcher's eye, some flasks are best in slot expensive. In the very first days of league gear can be often expensive, and then the prices decrease ordinary fast after in the last leagues.

You can reach all endgame content cheap with low currency. Only maven or full-delirium t18 you need some upgrades which can be expensive.

Also the definitive defensive tank edition offers 4-5 mill. damage, you will kill the unique map bosses 2 seconds slower as glascannonstyle builds, but you will almost never die and you can go for level 100 when you want to.

Shaper or maven are often slower killed. When you are experienced, take for them more "pure agony" on medium clusters and rare gloves with faster casting and slower projectiles of the "offensive edition". It's easy to switch and you can change individually for your playstyle.

Take a look into the spoiler: "gear panorama overview", there you find for your goals and experiences which edition to choose. Until level 98 the Offensive Edition is well balanced. For level 100 in high content - not only easy breachstones - or when you are not much experienced, take the definitive defensive edition. You can change easy, so try out what you want.

Chromino, less replying more playing!

Played with arc till A6, started to change gems but my agony crawler just wont spawn. Even after fireing 1000 ball lightning with lesser poison supprt into enemys. No Crawler.

"Ascendancy: Take them in this order:

1) Radiant Faith – seven-digits effective hit pools awaits you in each damage type."


can you explain this? how does it help during lvling or how can i take advantage of this?
i took it as first ascendency but i dont feel it does anything so early (lvling life based for now)

Dont use GMP and Poison till later on the game.....Use of ball lighting is for its slow moving procs which helps stack the virulence from the agony. Using Spell echo, GMP and poison support isn't going work well.. Spell echo will double the amount of ball lightings and GMP will fire them out which is cool, but at a fast rate so they fly over the minions, so the stacks dont pile up as fast, you can use ball lighting spell echo and lesser posion and throw in cull strike or use poison, lesser poison, spell echo and ball lighting. Ball Lighting, Slower moving Projectiles. lesser posion and culling strike works fine, you want ur BL to move some what slow and just move over the mobs at slow pace to stack virluence as fast as poison. You also have ur herald in one green socket and not linked to anything. Drop arc all together and put in herald of agony set in ur chest. Your agony isnt doing any dmg so your not seeing anything happen, you can throw a 1000 BL but the agony is in a single socket.
