Hi Abdemon,

yes, no problem.

Only change from 3.14 nerfed manatag of nostalgia-ring is that you need now 2x 1% less skill reservations on jewels (before 1x) or another manareduction from the spoiler "manamanagement". Take all 8 steps of manamanagement or adjust with the 11 other possibilities.

In one pob's the calculation is not correct, but it is tested and works.

just broke 7200 es, and 120k armor it, havent died since and Ive done 8 t16 ults, feels great. Great guide. Also I recommend cast while channeling, cyclone, A-ball lightnitng, fortify, in the poison/attack speed gloves, feel smoother and faster. One question tho, what should my cast when stunned setup be?
frost wall just seems to hinder me somewhat

Hi Anashakim,

yes, with cyclone take out frostwall and perhaps frostshield too.

Cyclone is great for movement in fights, but the problem with it is, that it's hard to get continuous more than 50 virulences in singletarget-situations without added mobs.

Take sniper's mark in cws for much damage or void sphere for some more virulences (or when maven wittness shaper frostbomb instead frost shield)

Cast when stunned / sniper's mark / spirit offering / frostshield (-maven wittness shaper/ue: frostbomb)

Thank you! Very nice when you enjoy and have fun!

Really wanted to try something tankier out because on my other account i keeped dieing all the time and it was no fun. But realizing its really hard for me to understand how the damage and everything comes together. I know i am missing quiet a few things still but tried to get the main stuff from that "shopping list". The guide you posted seems perfect and everything covered but i as a beginner have hard time trying to get through it and find what the most important things are that are really bad and needs to change. Atm i have 6k shield with grace aura i cant run yet. I dont have too much currency left but i think i need to change something since I am not really doing any damage aswell.

Heres my POB at the moment:

P.S. sry for the bad english hope this makes someone sense though ^^

Just stick with the build.

You have wrong tree (so much passives that grant you nothing - crit multy, hp, whispers of the doom - you have only one curse btw) you have not max spell block and you have Imbalanced Guard. I am not sure thats good choice, because its capped damage resist to 50%. You also have too much free mana.

Main source of the damage in this build - Pure Agony and level of the Herald of Agony.

Check my char for example.

I took out the life and crit, i must of forgatten to regret them when i changed my whole passive tree. Whispering Doom was in this build as far as i know but i will take that out too.

So i would need to buy a new armour set? I was looking for the cheapest and got that.

How would i improve that spell block?

I only have 200 free Mana or is that too much already? I guess i would get a vitality aura to correct that?

My got level 23 of for my herald of agony so there is not much i can do there probably?

There are few ways how to get better spell block chance.

For your case, you need to by better rolled Rainbowstride
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ultimatum/Pb35ejmsL
My advice buy it with some useful enchantment (like movespeed and etc) and +6 spellblock chance, not +4 how yours have. This should be done 100%.

Also you can take in your Cast When Stunned links - Tempest Shield. It will grant additional chance to spell block. Or you can spend 4-5 passives on tree, left from "Cruel Preparation". If you have 200 free mana its ok, but in your pob i just seen that you have more then 10% of mana free.

Or you can annoint Deflection (+4 spell block and other) or Arcane Guarding (+6 spell block and etc).

Or even replace Astramentis with some Shaper-Influenced amulet with additional spell block + dexterity + something useful (ES or attributes and etc)


Anyway damage in this build comes from: Stack from Pury of Agony (ball lightning spam) + Level of HoA. My HoA right now for example is level 31 -_-

Defences come first from 75% block for attack and spells, amount of armour (even 30k armour already enough) and capped resists. (You are not needed chaos res, because you are immune to chaos due Chaos Innoculation).

Less free mana = More armour and more energy shield.
More armour = more Energy Shield recovery on block.
More chance to block damage = more offten you are recovery your Energy shield.

Many thanks to Chromino for this build.

My first build that able to melt almost everything with stress free gameplay.
My first Sirus A9 deathless something near in 3 minutes.
Maven not a problem at all. All ultimatums is a joke (except some unlucky ones)

And much more that i like - its so flexible, you can play with this build and adjust it how you like. More damage - no problem, more defence - no problem, different skills - no problem, you able to tweak it how you like. I am even not using spiders, because i don't like to spawn them and etc. Maybe i will play with some ascendancy passives, because without Phantasm supports i didn't have enough "Allies" near with me to get permanent Onslaught and etc.

Hi jetflight,

sorry for late answering.
You have a very good starting gear for level 85.

I would advice to:

1) regret 3 points "throatseeker"

Your most important upgrade is to get more lesskillreservation to regret 6 points discord artisan:
Taka a look into "manamanagement" for all possibilities. Best is:

2) Then regret 6 points discord artisan.

3) change empower level 2 to maim (use only max empower level 4 or before maim)
4) you have HoA less 30% skillreservation on your helmet - so you don't have to anoint your amulet with "charisma" or "Champion of the Cause"

You need only 34-80 points unreserved mana, see "faq" and "manamanagement".


5) As long you are missing a 2. second curse implicit on gloves or ring regret 3 points whispers of doom.


Now you have 12 free passive points.
Your best improvements are clusters:

1) minimum 2x (or 2-4) medium clusters with "pure agony" for damage
2) large clusters

Very good cheap gear-upgrades are:

- 6% spellblock on rainbow strides boots
- a better rare unset ring or 2. second circle of nostalgia


Imbalanced guard is good and cheap for starting.
In these days "phase acrobatics" is circa 4 exalt and very tanky until level 98.
Iron reflexes is best for level 98-100, but about 8 exalt with 5 correct socket colours.
Watcher's eye (starting 1 exalt) (or 10 exalt expensive aul's uprising) are big upgrades too of course.
Anoint your amulet different with unnatural calm when you have enough 159 dex

For damage and all important defensive stats take a look into "faq - checklists". Corrupted blood, pantheon, flasks are very important for tankyness and dying less.


For your damage "pure agony" is scaling damage up optimized by substaining extreme high defences also.
You can increase with HoA-gemlevels further too, but of course you loose the spiders for fast mapping and 15 withers or tankyness with the missing keynotes on body armour.
In this build 15 stacks withers, sniper' mark and 2-4x pure agony are most important multipliers. You can vary it very easy and fast.
