On day 3-5 im fine with wave 25+ and leaving the sim if mods are shit until i invested into more dmg. I did sims with my spider this and last league and tbh the difference at least for occ spiders was not much


Sounds fine. Good luck with a league start =)

Hope you will enjoy it.
Been building this the last few days of the league after selling off some EA ballista stuff and other currency i had saved... i don't see how the PoB in original post is block capped with that gear and the mana reservation is way into the negative?

it's doing good so far at 79 but missing some gear. DPS is lowish sometimes.

Hi Dstry,

mana-efficiency is positive and variable. Do you clicked an additional aura in the pob? Or do you miss aul's uprising amulet and a bit effieciences on the ring or small clusters? Or take a look into the spoiler "manamanager" what's missing or what's to balance.

Block is not not capped in the build. In early levels you use glancing blows or bastion of hope. Later the build uses grace and ghost dance and reaches 80-95% evasion, so it's not that efficient to cap block. But cap the more valuable spellblock, especially before using the melding of the flesh. With melding of the flesh spellblock is a bit lower enough too.

For dps you miss many gemlevels and mainly the jewel the golden rule and 3x more medium clusters with "pure agony". Cyclone is not optimal singletarget. You max the mix of poisonchance, generating virulences, "pure agony" on clusters, HoA-levels and more in the final build. All steps you find in the red-titled spoiler "The composition of Agony" or "checklist damage".

Hi MarronPath,

don't forget that in standard the tradeprices are 5-20 times higher multiplied as in leagues.

You are now at 1.5M - with awakened gems for HoA lvl 31 and 2 more medium clusters "pure agony", some levels and better helmet and gloves you will get 8-10x the damage, 12-15M damage.

Check the red titled spoiler "the composition of agony" or "checklist damage" step by step.


For defences poe is balanced around 85% max resistances or 100% spell suppression or all big defensive auras or for the ubers mageblood since 3.17. With better eldritch-boots you get 100% ailment-immunities. Use vaal discipline for more reg. Immunity to corrupting blood is needed often!

Melding of the flesh is b.i.s. in [3.18] - you need more resis on belt and clustertransfer-points to squeeze it in for 60% less elemental damage taken. You will tank exarch's 5 magmaballs, 10 balls with molten shell and vaal molten shell, but not more - the new bosses are designed around degen and oneshots. You can facetank sirus and shaper and maven, but not full tank the degens. You are now at 500k ehp - fullgeared you get around 9-18M/ infinitive ehp. Check step by step "checklist defences".

I advice to start:

- a helmet enchant is very powerful. Get a better helmet like eber's unification.

- your legacy circle of nostalgia is great for poisonchance and efficiencies (but misses some increased HoA damage). You are at 155% poisonchance overcapped, change out "chance to poison" supportgem to void sphere or divergent stormbrands with one passive runebinder.

- Your large cluster needs veteran defender on spot 1. or 3. Before change it to a second spellblockcluster and 8% spellblock of 2 passives arcane guarding (or ascendancy bastion of hope instead radiant faith) and then you can go without tempestshield.

- regret insightfullness for 2 medium clusters pure agony. dex you get in the attributes mastery or on a split personality with es+dex instead.

- regret wicked ward or use instead lethe shard instead against bosses.

- later ghost dance or some other keystones on skin of the lords (lethe shade or divine shield for example) are big upgrades

- get a better belt, some resis on clustertransfers (see "jewels and clusters" -"the melding of the flesh"), benchcraft resis on ring, get better boots and melding of the flesh


- why do you use purity of lightning? Only with melding of the flesh use "purity of ice". I guees with your manamanagement you miss another valuable defensive aura.

- get a watcher's eye, best with es on hit discipline mod and spellblock or some nice other mods.

Yes, before I fully update I await the patchnotes and updated pob-community-fork.

There are now interesting buffed legendaries coming in slowly too.
The new Bitterdream will be nice in leaguestart before getting arakaali's fang. Lol :-)

All planned changes are already listed on the last page:

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-post/24682694

Rare helmet or Eber's unification and melding of the flesh will be decided after the full patchnotes.

I bet a rare helmet +2 HoA levels and eldritch mods and skill-efficiences of course will will be b.i.s.
The nerfed melding of the flesh remains a bit stronger as spell-suppression (because suppression is limited to spellhits) in the set-up.
Despair unset-ring or the new-bone-ring/ +perhaps despair somewhere else will be close-tight-up.

Edited: I added in the pob a "[3.19]Final_Tree_Lake_of_Kalandra" - it calculates the known patch-notes like HoA-buff, nerfed reservation-mastery and +1/+2 to all miniongems-benchcraft on rare helmet and changes chaos-mastery to one more cluster pure agony. So we add in [3.19] +2 gemlevels (improving to HoA-lvl 32) and 65%-85% attackspeed of HoA by default.

hey, what skill do we use before getting arakaali's fang? or is herald of agony enough by itself?

Hi Lyutsifer665!

the allstars need totally 5 minions teamed up for the ascendancy-onslaught buff. Most easy is Absolution as second damage-skill while levelling or phantasms-support in the HoA-/ Absolution-supports beside (anomalous) withering step for withers before getting arakaali's fang.
While levelling Heralds of purity (but they need mana) or skeletons are great also.

In "tipps for levelling", subspoiler "Spiders, Speed and Withers" are all tipps for early minions and withers or on page 50 in the alternative-gear next to "arakaali's fang".

HoA is enough as single, but alone much slower in map-clearing without phantasms/ spiders.
