I have an issue where killing the worms does not cause spiders to spawn. Any idea why that would be?

Hey guys, this may have been answered previously but couldn't find it in the previous ~10 pages.

First, how big of a loss is using a Grace implicit on your shield instead of determination? All you lose is access to Vaal Grace? If you're not using soul ripper isn't is just better to use vaal discipline again?

Second, I've been leveling as a HoP guardian but planning on switching to HoA. Cyclone feels realllllly nice in Ultimatums. Has anyone experimented more with Cyclone-CwC? What do we lose in that set up? And am I right to think that stopping to cast is a pain?

Thanks

I'm not sure what would be best upgrade for me currently, my gear is nothing special atm, and best upgrades i mean that are cheapest + gives most for my build. https://pastebin.com/5ggjWaJ3

Hi Archivist,

take a look into the spoiler "blizzard - raise your spiders" for all tipps.

When you "public" your Account, I can look if something like desecrate is missing.

Hey mort45954,

yes, the corrupted shield with granted determination is extreme hard to get. Until level 96 circa it works without vaal grace, but for high deliriums or high trials vaal grace is extreme tanky and almost an immortal mod.

Best is to use both vaal skills in maps and mapbosses. Overall vaal discipline is much more important for the build against degens and dot in the cooldowns of time of need.

You can easy work around. In the spoiler "Skillmanager" are many possibilities to get a free skillslot.

Cyclone is great for movement, but hard to get channeled more as 45/50 virulences singletarget for full damage singletarget. I am searching also for possibilities to stack more virulences like void sphere or Exsanguinate / blade vortex, but until now ball-lightnings are singletarget the best and you can facetank almost all bosses trials easy.

In the section with gloves in "gear, skill, links" are the tipps about cyclone or in "jewels and clusters" "the golden rule" and "pure agony" about virulences.

You can easy switch from HoP to HoA, a lot of gear is based on Vatinas amazing guide.

Take a look in "Pack of Purity" and on Page 50 the stats and ups and downs are are compared in " - HoA vs HoP-"

Hey sorry for not checking in, I made the changes requested and it really is fantastic. I am having one issue though and that is too much mana. I have 500+ unreserved mana with a maxed out clarity. Also, My ES is lower than I'd like it to be at 7600, but I don't know what to upgrade.

Thanks as always!

Hi Besson,

thank you too!

Yes, when you max out the build all stats and flasks etc. do some differences, and with my low and bad english it's sometimes difficult to explain the best tipps, hehe.

Great when you raised damage and optimized!
In your high levels above 98 it's a lot about balancing damage and defences around he content you play. Mapping and Maven are too different and with maxing out it is much easier. Your gear is very, very good and so you can easy balance around your top defences!


You have 2x circle-of-nostalgia-rings (20% rmr each) and 2x 1% less skill reservations on jewels, so it's perfect and you can anoint your amulet different.
With "unnatural calm" is best for more energyshield. But you can take other anoints also like gravepact for a little bit miniondamage. I would advice to unnatural calm. Then limit clarity to level 1 again. In "manamanagement" are all steps for mana.

Hey Prisma,

on page 50 you find a complete list ranked with most important gear starting on top:

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

Most important is vaal discipline, then helmet, shield for defences, dagger and Writhing jar for damage.

Body armours starting gear are very cheap now. Jewels are important too.

More tipps and starting alternatives are in the spoiler "Tipps for beginning and gearing".

Belt, rare ring, keynote on body armour (and helmet enchant) are easy and cheap to improve!

I check your pob on desktop later too.

Let the spiders feast & dance!
