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

The Allstars in [3.24] Necropolis

In the end of each league I try to summarize some aspects of the build and development of the league.

The HoApolis



_______________


League mechanics

Spoiler

All allflames were easy to juice.

With the corpsecrafts awesome HoA-weapons and helmets were done.

With the tattoos I he build is extreme flexible to max 100% spell suppression, more es and and poison chances.

3.24 news:

Spoiler

In [3.24] Hoapolis the returning tattoos will free up full geared around 8 passivepoints and the keystone on skin of the lords. Some spell suppression notes and chance to poison could be switched out. B.i.s. geared 11-14 passives were free to spend.

Nice new possibilities to choose were i.e. free to select the amulet-anoint.

The allstars stacked also around 20% more ehp with es on tattoos in the build.

With the new sapphire flask (+5-10 % increased max cold-resi) the synergies of aegis aurora and melding of the flesh became again much more valuable. 89% all max resis were fast reached.

The boot-slot will become flexible and can be switched out to 10% more damage or easy management with the rainbow stride-boots. In general some movementspeed will get in too.

Because the allstars travel much across int- and dex-notes and can get needed attributes easy on clustertransfers the build turns in 3.24 much more easy for all optimizations.

The necromancer get much substain with ghost reaver and es-leech when wanted.

The pathfinder get more easy 100% flask-uptime with some tattoos.

Capping attack block got possible too.

In rippy, not to scip, league-content and the new t17 map-mods the HoA-build defend with much more tanky defensive layers as other builds.





Poison HoA vs. other minion builds

Spoiler

Very fine and nice holy relics leaded the minion-meta. A great build and only in t17 a bit squishy.

HoA got buffed in movement, damage and qol and is b.i.s.-geared as strong as the mirror-priced bamas.


_______________



Improvements of the build

Spoiler

Tornados of elemental Turbulences, Ball lightnings of orbiting

Cyclone cwc is since 10 leagues again valuable until 100 HoA-virulences with tornados of elemental turbulences with ball lightning of orbiting.

The adorned was u bugged and is useable in clusterjewesockets. Belt and weapon are much more flexible with it and2 jewel slots are getting free.

The dark seer is buffing extreme flexible tankyness, es and Ehp 25%.




PoB

Spoiler

I cleaned up the PoB notes and improved many levelling trees.

I added a higher budget 259M damage PoB and improved the mageblood pob's.

Gear

Spoiler

No major changes. I improved the explanations about skin of the lords and keystones, levelling gear and alternatives.

With cheap gear for 20 div I played the new champion from lvl 90 to 99 relaxed and tanky with 2 deaths.






Leaderboards and Leaguestart

Spoiler

Congrats to all Arachnophobiatics!



The dominant meta was ruled by DD and more.


Also when often jugg and champ were chosen, the top of the board was again dominated by CI-Arachnophilias!

I myself climbed rank 2 in the champion-ascendancy. Hehehehe X-)

With cheap gear for 20 div I played the new champion from lvl 90 to 99 relaxed and tanky with 2 deaths.



1x dot-ignite beam of over juiced allflames killed me in high juiced plateau and 1x I forgot to activate tempestshield after a cluster swap.


It was a beautiful leaderboard of Arachnophilia again! With some more very successful Arachnophobiatics!


Trading

Spoiler

With high inflation in the whole market and many pricefixers it was probably one of the most expensive leagues.

In example Ashes of the stars, clusters and the Adorned were cheap, but watchers eye with good mods and skin of the lords expensive.

3.25 will make it differently in currency-trading!



Popularity of the build

Spoiler

When I counted correct it was the most popular build in the official necro and guardian forum.

PlusOne Poe-podcast mentioned the build as most enjoyable minion-build in 3.24.

Poebuilds.cc recommended again the Arachnophobia and Arachnophilia Allstars in both the ascendancies guardian and necro and both as budgetstarter as well as higher budget in variations.

GhazzyTV again mentioned and adviced to the HoA-Allstars-builds in his streams. Thank you Ghazzy! Arachnophilia!

PoE-Veteran Luetjeminze tried out some bow-builds in leaguestart. But beeing not convinced in their tankyness and qol in endgame with an loud "Arachnophilia forever!" he continued again the Herald and maxed out the HoA build one more time again.


Overall in the dominating 85% relic-meta not many, but much more CI Arachnophilias as in former leagues stinged the woods.


_______________

Outlook: 3.25, Jugg and more

Spoiler


Perhaps I optimize the jugg next league for Herald of Agony. Probably without CI.


More

Are there plans beside for serious Titan Quest or Grim Dawn Expansion, a new Sacred or follower of Dungeon Siege 1/2 already leaked - hehehehe? And MMXI awaits us soooon? Yeaah!

After all again I am focussing on the news of PoE [3.24] - and am quite sure Poe II will be the upcoming meta for bitches, gourmets and maniacs like us in the whole Arpg-genre after PoE I.

All pob`s are updated!

We lost only at first sight 3k armour and 0% evasion.
With the buffs 3.25 to spellblock we can easy compensate this completely 100% with only switching one large spellblockcluster to battle hardened for increased armour and evasion. So the build is not affected at all and is much more flexible with using auras and spellblock as in [3.24]! Cheers!

Let's settle! I wish a best new league to all Arachnophobiatics and will add minor improvements soon!

The combination




of a high ar/ev armour and the new ward-belt ynda`s stand carry in tanky 100% more ehp automatical recovered each 2 seconds for cheap 2 chaos + 4 orb of alchemy in lower levels before getting a skin of the lords.

I add the tanky cheap set-up, fitting into the build's stacking of all global layers, in the levelling-section and levelling-pob soon.

I feel that in the end game radiant crusade die really quick, did you think it's worth to change radiant crusade to unwarevering faith?
Hi,

Hardcore Player here and new to the Build.
Just arrived @Act9 Blood Aqueduct(Level 66). I've leveled with Flamestorm and would like to transform into the HoA Build.

I've read the guide, but its kinda hard to figure out with which Items I could start, which keynotes are the most important etc... could you give me a quick feedback?
Budget around~ 5-6 Divine overall.

Should i already go for CI?


thanks and best regards
Hello, I'm currently building this char with around 150 divines budget, I am wondering should I follow PoB necro version or the one you currently have build on your profile as a Juggernaut, which one would u say is stronger, also which version is the strongest overall (without mageblood). In general is jugg version good?

Thank you in advance

When you like tankyness I recommend trickster. The tricksters defensive layers against dot fills best the small short gaps of the stacked defensive layers of the build. Use the "lethe shade" tree in the pob when you reached 100% ailment-immunities for even more tankyness.

With 150 divines you can also go almost necro with mageblood 3 permament flasks (sapphire for melding, quartz). But only when you want to farm ubers necro`s damage is useful full geared.

Yes, I build this league jugg for science, but until now lvl95 trickster and necro are far, far better. You get the endurance charges with good uptimes also with the "elxier of unbroken circle" by default in the build.

All ups and downs are ranked in "Which ascendancy" page 483:

Really interesting you posted this as I've been holding off asking something similar. My gear isn't quite as good as yours but I'm having a really hard time with this build. I'm 2.5k hours in PoE so I've a good idea of what I'm doing but this feels like hard work. Tankiness I can't complain about too much but I feel the damage is really lacking. I have a max of 87 virulences but struggle to keep these up.

The guide is incredibly well detailed but there's almost too much information in there. I'm not sure if my setup is quite right, whether that's skill gems or passives etc.

I'm determined to try and make this work though. I'm a 1 character a season kinda guy so don't really want to reroll. I just like to try and clear as much content as I can. But reading the guy above is struggling with Maven and his gear is slightly better, I don't hold much hope for myself.

You are now at 14M dps of default 52M.

You need 20%, better 23% quality on the HoA-skillgem instead 0%, and HoA poison-chance is at low 60%.

Switch "corruption" to more medium clusters pure agony and ghastly jewels with minion poison on hit.
