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

I'm doing that build and it works very well. I have some questions about my character (SummonerKotów):
1. Is "ES gained on hit" mod better for survival than blind on hit while affected by grace? I'm thinking about replacing it.
2. What do you think about my Megalomaniac Jewel? BTW I've made a trade link to search firmy the ones with (what I think are) useful mods: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ultimatum/7L25kMgH5
3. Is RAZE AND PILLAGE really necessary? Isnt it better to replace it with bigger chance to impale?

If you have some tips for me (about upgrading the character), it would be awesome. And please ignore that skillpoint that I put into big dex node, i will deal with it soon.

ES on hit would be great for survivability. Especially in ultimatums or deli maps where your ball lightning has a ton of enemies to hit. You have minion chance to blind on your abyss jewel so most enemies are already blinded.

I'm sure Chromino will have more, but one tip I have is to replace your one granite flask with a sulphur flask so you get consecrated ground. Having two granite flasks doesn't add anything.

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!


Awesome thank you very much feels alot better for maven, and ults.

So I have a dilemma and not sure which way I should go....
I corrupted spell block on a shield. If I keep it I could replace the spell block amulet I'm using, but have basically no currency currently to get anything decent. If I sell it, I would probably have enough currency to grab an iron reflexes skin of lords. Or I could get Aul's. Issue with getting Aul's is I would need to go back to rainbowstride boots to keep my spell block.

What would you do?
How do you handle permastun? There are instances where I just get chain stunned and I can't cast spiders or scorpion to kill so I'm just getting tossed around forever, not dying until the one moment my defense fails.

Hi lightcaster08,

I personally had never problems with stuns and got only few microstuns. Even in bad mapmods, delirium, deep delve with all lyers of defences I never had longer interruptions.

As CI you are permament 50% stun immune and with spellecho you are not interrupted in castings. You can get more stun immunities if you want for example:

1) on implicits on clusters and jewels crafted in harvest
2) stats on rare boots, rare gloves, belt jewel
3) as boot enchant
4) use pantheon soul of the brine king
5) passive points in the witch starting area

When you cyclone use Soul of the Brine King.

Take a flask with antifreeze-suffix against shaper or sirus, freezes can be dangerous.

Hi stoudtlr,

congratulations to fine 99!

Hehe, a tough decision. My tendency would be
Aul.

Iron reflexes without Grace don't offer much.
Do you have grace already activated or solely vaal grace? I guess you have activated it.

Probably try/ begin/ start with aul's uprising for much evasion and use rainbowstride-boots. You loose increased duration but get much permament evasion with the global defences.

Try to get conjured wall on a megalamoniac or mystical ward on a small cluster or other clusters with spellblock to keep the rare boots. With Aul's you can switch out sublime form and probably 1x uncompromising, so you will get more possibilities on your clusters.

Hi Zimbala,

I check later your pob and jewel and stats on desktop pc.

1) Both mods are great. Es on hit is better against dot and degen-damagetypes, more blindings raise much the ehp against hits. With vaal discipline and time of need I would tendenc perhaps to more blindings, but I never tried es on hit, it shall be very tanky too and ball-lightnings hit fast.

2) a very nice link, can I copy it on page 50 for a lot qualities of life? Very helpful, yipppiee!

3) Raze and Pillage is not necessary. For mapping it's a bit more damage, for bosses rotten claws is much better. Take what you prefer!

Thank you!

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.





Yes, around the max strong defences it's a joy to vary the skills, defences and stats and a lot variants are easy to switch in!

Thank you a lot Zlatoruk!

Thanks Chromino! I do have grace activated already. I went heavy on reduced reserve clusters so I could activate it without having Aul's yet. Appreciate the advice, I'll sell the shield and get Aul's. I can drop some of the defensive clusters like you said and get more Pure Agony that way.

Now that I'm thinking about it more though I might go for a Hatred Aul's instead of Grace. I'm at 99 and 28% right now. Once I hit 100 (hopefully next weekend) it won't matter much if I die so might as well start getting items to switch to your max dps version. So many choices! LOL
