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

Since SRS is a bit buffed is that a better option this league?

Also when switching to Herald of Agony what would a 3 or 4 link look like?
Believe somewhere in the guide you said you should get Phantasm with Herald of Agony asap so I assume the 6-link HoA is not based on importance going down the list?

So what is best to link early on:
HoA - Pierce - Minion Damage - Summon Phantasm?

And how would it look after level 38? Could you provide the best link setup for 4 and 5 link then?

Have you tried playing srs? Have you watched Kays' latest demo video? Are you sure you would be fine with gameplay like that?

If yes - go on.

About lvling with hoag, Shaddrak made a guide based on Balaar speedrun:

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3228456

Pob there has pretty much everything you want to know.

Although Balaar ran on 4-link this setup: [Herald of Agony - Damage on Full Life - Pierce - Faster Attacks], i'd say it really depends on what colors minion helmet has. Your suggested setup is good too, but there is no need in trying to get perfect colors during acts. Helmet with +1 socketed minion gems is more important than right colors. 2 greens for hoag+pierce are mandatory. Fit whatever else.

Personally, I don't like neither lvling, nor early maps with hoag. Build starts to shine with investment, in my opinion. And with cyclone mapping ^_^

Cyclone (Storm Burst for single target) - Cast while Channeling (Awakened lvl5) - Chance to Poison - Ball Lightning

Stampede boots are good here.

thanks!
How casual friendly is this build?
I only have a few hours a week to play and usually reach level 80-85 in a league, sometimes 90.
The endgame version is not reasonably achievable for me. I usually have a few ex to play with but not that many.
I don't aim for any Ubers or super juiced maps.

So is it reasonable to get this going without all the uniques? All the itemsets post acts are already loaded with them
If aegis becomes to hard to get what would be the best alternative for the build to progress to farm out t16's? Or would the build not function without it on CI?

Is es on block shaper shield good enough? Or will the build feel too squishy

Thanks in advance

Super cool setup, just tested with my Guardian on Standard and is indeed smooth. Question - how do you sustain mana channeling cyclone + BL on cwc all the time?

EDIT: just added -7 mana cost to one ring and it seems much better

In my 3.16 guardian pob, which is super aura heavy, as you know, I need to just drop defiance banner to get everything else up w/o reservation mastery. It got nerfed, so whatever. But to fit it again in 3.19, i need either 12% eater implicit and perfectly rolled reservation clusters, or just sanctuary of thought.

In my case, a pair of forbidden jewels would be cheaper than 3.19 helmet, since requirements are insane: +2 all minions, elevated hunter for -12% chaos res, elevated redeemer for 14% mana reservation, t1 eater for another 12% reservation... A BiS helmet like this would cost more than sanctuary of thought. A lot more.

My necro pob doesn't have neither defiance banner, nor grace, I use a bit different defensive approach there. Necro has crapload of damage, so sparing a couple of auras is ok.

Vicious0093 and Andy1988, flesh offering is the way.
Going crit ruins the idea of the build - being tanky. In 3.19 minion scaling heavy depends on gear, which means to get the damage you have to go for bone rings/minion shield instead of aurora.

Herald of Agony's crawler scales from medium clusters, and the build is already extremely passive point hungry. You can't spare 5 points for crit ring.

And w/o additional crit new spirit offering is kinda useless. So yeah. Flesh offering is fine.

About mark, ugh, snipers mark is heavy damage buff, so you can't really drop it.

Alchemist mark is useless simply bc it gives 1 flask charge each 3 seconds. Pantheon would be better in this case.
Ground effect is viable only if you will switch herald of agony gems for poison damage.


Yes, in your set-up page 334 with full 50% manareservation more of purity of elements for the stampede boots it's not so flexible.

But the default pob don't need purity of elements and use the eldritch rare boots for full 100% ailments-immunities. It's default this league very easy and flexible.

But the set-ups with full-block and without

Hi larsie23!

On page 50 always next to the gear-slot you find cheap alternatives for each piece.

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3019705/page/50

You can go without aegis aurora easy until t15, t16. Rare shields with 5% es on bl8ck, Apep's slumber, or perhaps, I didn't tested, the new heartbreaker dagger, are enough and much cheaper in first leagueweek.

Aegis aurora is optimal and still far b.i.s. for simulacrums waves 25-30, uber-sirus and delve lvl 250+++
