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

What do you use as weapon befor cold iron point dagger?

So the 3.20-update of the path of building community fork arrived. Best wishes to the team for all their great work!! Thank you a lot!

Pob is converted and updated to [3.20].

After the awesome buffs to the build of the arachnophilia allstars in all last three leagues to both defences and even more doubling and trippling the damage this league gets interesting too.



In 3.20 there will arrive again new changes in path of exile meta. I hope that melee-weapons are buffed big. But most curious I am about the synergizes of the new uber-bosses-rewards with heralds and minions.

I personally am not a rogue-like-kiting-arpg-fan - instead I am pushing the HoA to 40/50M in almost full tankyness and further to 90M in standard in the moment with united in dreams and uul netol's vol and optimize some details in the guide.



Most straight the new curse ring will lift the Allstars off to 5 curses with one ring slot. The allstars are almost always in full power charges. More notes are in close reach on the tree for 6 curses. We can trigger curses in multiple possibilities. Vixens gloves are an easy qol alternative also.

In our classic set-up despair is buffed around 30%. And in some settings like united in dreams probably temporal chains will replace sniper's mark. Especially with "United in dreams" or ghastly eye-jewel's minion poisonchance it will be the best damage-curse with integrated huge defensive buffs and capacities.

On the tree we will get perhaps in many set-ups 1 free passive point - we need 1 more in whispers of doom, but get 4 free in arcane guarding with the new ailment-avoidances-slots like the new fireborn jewel and spend 2 for spellblock again. So I hope one remains and when not the hex-buff will be worth the point.

Next the spell-impale on the new gloves looks very interesting. I am not sure about, but perhaps the impales trigger also the virulences to 5x more easy generating full virulences.

The returning projectiles, also on one ring, will perhaps double virulences also with ball-lightning, blazing salvo etc. in cwc.

So there is a lot stuff to test and I updated already the guide in many spoilers.


I will miss the beautiful big popups of stacked juiced exarch-altars-swarms much. So much nice action on the screen was a pleasure.

The Arachnophilia Allstars will be one of the strongest minion builds in 3.20 with 30M and by far the leading most tanky one with their 4 big tanky defensive auras. When all other mortal minions collapse and die in the sanctum the scorpion will sting down already from wide range the foes.

Arachnophilia!

has The Golden Rule Jewel been removed as part of the unique jewel changes?

No. It remains and I guess it will be like the other jewels a bit later to get. It was always extreme easy and cheap in trade so probably there will be no problem. We use it only later after transforming into CI and have before enough poisonchance and castspeed for default 40-50 virulences in low levels.

Edited: -- again just after league-start 1 chaos in trade--

Only ssf it's a problem to max more virulences without it.

Howdy!

As a part of my ongoing I-come-back-to-Poe-every-3-leagues-or-so, I decided to try my favorite build again. Yes, this one, right here.

A lot of things have changed even though the core mechanisms stay the same.
However, reviewing PoB, leveling, examples, etc, I'm wondering what's up with Stormburst - stormbrand - absolution? I'm loosing track of what's the most recommended choice from act4 onwards.

-> Ditch Absolution and grab Burst ? Ditch Brand ? Keep Abso and Brand and bench Burst for later? The infos are a bit confusing on that part and the PoB doesn't mention Burst in the leveling section, although the leveling tips section here in the guide does so.

Also I guess the good old Ball Lightning multi-projectiles stuff isn't as adequate now since it's barely mentioned anymore. Hooray for performances, I guess ^^



I'll play a bit with the skills and see for myself but I was curious to hear from you people.

The PoB with all of its different trees is very confusing. Would be nice to have clearer labels on them.

yeah and in pob we are still using legacy melding of the flesh
so i guess all videos facetanking bosses were from standard too.
we dont have spell suppresion, only 5k es and spell block
so almost all uber bosses with spell penetration would kill us in league? or am i missing something ?
i mean i know this build is tanky af against physical dmg.
but we are not even using flask to reduce ele dmg like ruby or topaz one.
obviously most trees are not generated in 3.20 just randomly updated and confuses af
even with tank of the tanks i have like only 81% ele resist.

Which pob do you use? Of course it's not the legacy melding. And of course almost no build with aegis aurora or in the guardian-ascendancy uses spell suppression. It is possible to max 100%, but spell suppression also defend only against hits.
Please just show a build with better tankyness when you can...

+ Max resis and also ailment immunities and lethe shade are much better. Against spellhits of course full spellblock is stacked beside molten shell, frostshield etc.

By default +85% maxresis are used with impossible escape, take a look at the pob, and when you prefer, read the build and check the spoiler "melding of the flesh" in "jewels and clusters" as well as "the ubers": stack up 87-89% with winterprowler. And of course against them elemental dr flasks are used.

But yes, you need to balance a cluster and a keystone for the ubers and it's not optimal to try to do the Ubers with exact the same gear as other content.

Severed in sleep 2 chaos/ united in dreams 30 chaos are cheap and best for damage also in endgame against bosses.

Use anomalous vaal skeletons-feeding frenzy or in the HoA-supports phantasms for the onslaught buff.

okey so im using this POB:

Here we crawl!
https://pastebin.com/PckSa20v

and im checking trees:
for example dual wield variation - legacy melding

and by confusion i mean im not quite sure which items are for which tree cause names are diffrent, that's all.
And sorry , i know u've done amazing job and im just not to smart to follow all of that.
Same i cant see any item set with elemental flasks.
