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

Whats the use for soul ripper? Also I can't seem to keep my spiders up all the time, since agony crawler kills don't seem to spawn them, only if i kill them and that usually happen only when i kill the worms and when the agony crawler is not killing them first D:

Hi Prismaa,

with soul ripper "consumes 50-80 charges on use" you can spam vaal discipline and vaal grace in maps, see "flasks and sulphur".

For raising spiders all tipps are in the spoiler "blizzard - how to raise your spiders". You have to kill the worms first, yes, with 2x desecrate, writhing jar, frostblink or ice nova.

How does this compare to Hoag Jugg? I currently love guardian but is jugg better for this in HC? want to get a solid opinion before I invest xD
want to try some end game content and dont want to get one tappered haha


Hi Sakuramoo,

I am not experienced with hardcore and not with HoA jugg.

In poeninja some Arachnophobiatics are in top positions above 90, but it's difficult to get some bis-gear of the build in hc trade like aul's uprising or iron reflexes.
The managuardiansetup is very, very tanky also without bis-gear, but I cannot compare to Jugg and level 100 hc is still not reached in hc.

On page 50 a small spoiler "hardcore" is started with experiences of hardcore players of this thread:

Chromino,

I'm not that good at making currency because I hate trading so I basically live on pure currency drops and the couple big value items that drop and I sell. That being said, there's no way I'll have enough currency to get both Iron Reflexes skin and the Aul's with grace. So if on a budget and have to choose one or the other which would it be? My goal this league like I mentioned earlier is first level 100 and I'm currently 97. I'm not sure which is better considering my goal. I mainly map in groups so I'm leaning towards the better skin of lords. With Aul's I could refund the reduced reserve herald passives and put the points into more clusters. What do you think?

Hi stoudtlr,

when you are delving look for aul's citadels to farm aul's uprising amulets. A lot other aul's are traded high too when they drop. Prices already dropped a lot, but are still not as low as last league.

Further it's a tough decision, both are very strong. I would tend a bit to iron reflexes, BUT without Grace and only with evasion of jadeflask iron reflexes is not so strong.

You have already activated grace aura, so I would advice to iron reflexes.

And if possible more chances to blind on a megalamoniac cluster, see blindskills in "ideal clusters" and "21 is only half of the truth" and more uncompromising/ sublime form / self-control on clusters for better manamanagement. For example with 4 or 5 skills 45 chaos in your setup without aul's:

I have to look at your pob again later on PC, on mobile it's impossible to compare. Phase Acrobatics as keynote is very cheap in these days with 5 correct colours and a big upgrade for skin of the lords too.

Hey stoudtlr,

now in the moment I would advice to:

1) change your empower level 2 to maim support instead, (take empower back in when you levelled the gem to max level 4)

2) regret 6 passives to discord artisan

3) take out unique medium cluster with raze and pillage

4) take in a rare medium cluster pure agony / cult leader

5) take in 2 small clusters uncompromising / sublime form (- or 1 small cluster and a 2. circle of nostalgia with reduced reservation for HoA), perhaps put out enlighten

6) you remain with a 1 free passive for elemental avoidances and a lot more damage

7) when you want more damage, put ot 3 passive points es next to deep wisdom, put in 3 points whispers of doom and sniper's mark instead frost wall on cws

-your most big upgrades are in the moment:
watcher's eye (put out one rare jewel instead)
clusters and 2. circle of nostalgia because you loose too much passive points with discord artisan
keynote iron reflexes (expensive)
phase acrobatics (cheap)
aul's uprising (medium expensive, with it you get free clusters for es/ damage)

You have in the moment overcapped spellblock. No problem, but you could change with your rare amulett boots to rare boots with movement, increased durartion, high es (minimum 80).

For the not optimal gear your defences are fine, but your damage and energyshield are low.

Thanks Chromino! I've already made some of the changes you suggested. The boots were already next on my list. That was one of the reasons for getting the spell block amulet. Couldn't get 120es with the currency I had available, but they are close. :-)


I think I'll try to get the watcher's eye next. Only issue is I'll also need to redo another jewel as well so I don't lose my corrupted blood immunity.

EDIT: Watcher's Eye now too

Is it normal that half of the time i can't summon my spiders because the crawler kills the worms before I kill them with my ice nova? even if i use it pretty much same time as i use the worm flask
I got the same issue with the worm killing thing too. I got much more success with frost blink though don’t know why.

Like physium writes, try out frostblink instead ice nova.
It's faster (instant) and you get a free skillslot also. Ice nova has larger aoe.

In the spoiler "blizzard - raise your spiders" are a lot possibilities and in "faq" examples to choose fast usable controls and keys.

You can also use Predator in HoA-supports to make it easier if you like.
