Hi all, i want to play this guardian arakali herald of agony.
Can anyone link a version of this build with atlast 15mil dps?

Select in the pob in the dropdowm-menue the itemtab "100% Chaosconversion" and at the same time a passivetree-tab "100% chaosconversion".

With the whitesocketed-triad grip-gloves you climb from 12.5M to 16M and with voices clusters later up to 21M damage.

I'm currently running the build in 3.18.

My damage feels super low.

Anything I should be doing different? (I swapped grace for purity of elements for the ignites/freezes) but that shouldn't be the problem for damage.

My character is "TheTailOfPoison", if you could take a look?

Yooo!

Looks like defences are needed this new league and the tankyness of the allstars-set-up will be perfect.

To farm Ueber-Sirus it will be one of the best builds.
And for the new sentinel-empowered mobs and most other content too it fits straight with all our defensive layers, auras, high substain, automatic virulences with storm brands and tempestshield, and longranged possibilities.



■ First of course the new arakaali's fang new raise spider vaultpass-effect will power-pimp-up our red bloody swarm.

■ The new craftings will probably add great new b.i.s. - possibilities in the helmet-slot and perhaps gl8ves-, shield- or ring-slots.

■ Awakened empower and awakened enlighten will add a lot of flexibility.

■ The new unique jewel Impossible Escape will be extreme interesting and probably used by default.

Hello Chromino,
yet again I am going to crawl in the first week of the league!

I checked your new pob on page 1 and I can't find Impossible escape jewel, have I missed it?
Do you have any info on which keystone we are gonna use?

Cheers!

The league is much worse. The balance of rare monsters is broken: one shot in 5k def, all res max lvl 77, lvl monsters 70. Leveling with this build using only HoA is very difficult.
Here are my findings Now: I'm level 77 and have 5L didn't switch to the SI version, with out Aracali live version low budget.
Tier 5-6 cards are already difficult, most rare monsters are one shots.
You can’t take node: 'Glancing Blows' it, there will be no more one-shots.
Delve depth 47, monster level 71 is impassable by the initial assembly without a dagger on life use HoA.

I really hope that with the advent of the dagger a lot will change. But at the moment, the build above levels 73-76 does not live in the low equipment in live version.

Sorry my english is not native.

Leveling is hard, indeed. I've returned to Herald of Purity + Absolution + Dominating blow for now. Dominating blow is fun because of... new mods :D.

Prices are too high now too.

I will probably farm lower content and wait for better ballance and prices.

Do you too have drop problems? I only got 3c in currency until now.

We have more ailments inflicting enemies on the menu now, so it is worth to think about getting that sweet immunity.

Boots:
Look for empty suffix / crafter suffix and then bench-craft avoid elemental ailments, it's up to 25% at the cost of suffix. With bleeding we can go up to 60%.

Jewels:
Corruption -> 20-25% Ignite / Bleed
Implicits -> 8-10% Ignite / Bleed
Abyssal -> up to 30% Ignite / Bleed.

BiS:
Corrupted Blood Abyssal Jewel with 30% Ignite/Bleed + ES/Mana + Minion mods.

It is possibly to, with low-mid investment, get 100% bleed immunity (suffix crafted on boots, boots implicit / jewel affix or corruption). But, in my opinion, it is easier to go for all ele ailments avoidance (which give us not only immunity to ignite, but also other ailements that can't be removed using flasks).

In the end of last league I got 100% ailments and bleed immunity without Purity of Elements.

Yeah, I didn't even bother to try to level with HoA, went full life dominating blow into Aegis Aurora CI (still DB).
Only now with $$ I am assembling gear before switching but with the state of the game we will need almost "full" gear to tackle fatter content.

Hi Candanz!

Mainly you miss 2 very important components for damage:

+ To generate maximal virulences for the HoAg you need castspeed, poisonchance and clusters with the notable "pure agony".

+ The damage also scales heavy with the level of hoAg. To increase you need the skillgem HoAg lvl 21, Skin of the Lords (+2 gemlevels), empower support lvl-2-4, awakened gems.

In "gear, skills, links", section gloves, you find all tipps. Start with more clusters "pure agony" and skin of the lords is already cheap.

I mean I'm hitting early red maps and things take a long while to kill.

I suppose I could get a +1 ammy and maybe get an alt quality herald.

Skin of the lords is gonna be expensive to get the right colors on it.

I dont really have the skill points to get more pure agony clusters without dropping block nodes/es nodes, which I dont think is wise since I went to CI already.

As for cast speed, I suppose I could look into getting some faster casting gloves, but is that gonna be enough? The tree itself doesnt give any cast speed at all.

You have already 2 curses, so you can try out whispers of doom too with 20% increased poisonchance and change the poisonsupportgem to spellecho.

HoAg lvl 21 is very cheap with 5 chaos and will improve your damage fast and fine:

Skin of The Lords, far from b.i.s. but already great, starts at 1 exalt.
The combinations

1) 4g, 1r, 1b
2) 3g, 2r, 1b
3) 3g, 1r, 2b
4) 2g, 2r, 2b

are okay.

When you are tanky enough, change out the 5 passives Arcane focus or also Essence surge/ wicked ward or go in the templar starter area directly straight to runebinder with only 5 passives. Then take 1-2 more clusters pure agony.

And change minionspeed to predator or phantasms. In the spoiler "the dirty scorpion tail" are the best supports shown.
