[3.13] Spidermancer 3.0 | Arakaali's Fang | Softcore| Budget and strong | 5m+ Shaper DPS

Welcome! This is my new version of the Spidermancer. This build is based upon my modified version of Skyscans Spiderbro Arakaalis Spidermancer back from 3.8 Blight. That's when I started playing this build and had a blast. He discontinued it in 3.10.

I made my own version of it in 3.8 already, changing things, played it again in 3.9 Metamorph and in 3.10 Delirium I created a Scion version.

After that the Spiders always fell behind other Minions like Golems, Spectres, etc. Damage wise. But this is over now.

This build in 3.13 Ritual can keep up and exceeds other minions on a Budget! Also Spiders are unkillable.

I recommend this for SC only!

Spiders are back!

Is this build for me?

Spoiler
This build is for players who struggle with Endgame content (T10 to T16), bosses, or just want to farm quick and simply don't have a pretty quick build to do so. Also playing with Spiders is just a lot of fun.

It is not for players who don't like playing minions or know about mechanics and don't struggle with anything at all.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pros & Cons:

Spoiler
Pro:
Budget
Fast
Only 2 Uniques are required basically
Even with low life you can finish content you normally would not
No hunting for x amount of Golem jewels lol

Con:
Minions
Casting Spiders requires training and can feel clunky
Other Minions except spiders can die
2 Uniques are required so not cheap at league start

Cluster Jewels:

Large Cluster Jewels need to be Item Level 50. So you don't need to buy the expensive 68+ ones :)

Crafting those Jewels is particularly easy. You use a 2-Socket-Resonator with Bound and Jagged (usually around 15) or Bound and Corroded (usually around 19 times) or Bound and Shuddering (around 20 times). The latter are more expensive.
Data from https://www.craftofexile.com/.

You need two Itemlevel 50+ Large 8 Passives Increased Minion Damage Cluster Jewels

Adds 8 Passive Skills
Added Small Passive Skills grant: Minions deal 10% increased Damage
1 Added Passive Skill is Call to the Slaughter
1 Added Passive Skill is Feasting Fiends
1 Added Passive Skill is Rotten Claws

Aspect of the Spider
The best way to get this skill is to use the Einhar Beastcraft "Fenumus, First of the Night". I think the belt is the best spot for this, but of course if you feel you don't mind having it on another item you can craft it anywhere else. Other than that you can use a unique which gives the ability, though you probably want the slot free for Shaper's Touch Gloves.

Budget variant

As a budget version the helmet "Ancient Skull" has been recommended to me. That's a great damage boost until you can afford the Survivability the Devouring Diadem provides.

Leveling:

Spoiler
Feel free to use the leveling trees included in the PoB with gear choices. It will require you to use refund points (either of Orbs of Regret or quests).

Gear wise it is up to you, what you have and the same with the skills to level. I recommend to use any minions to level, be it Zombies, Skeletons, Golems, SRS, use what you prefer (I prefer Zombies, Vaal Skeletons with SRS as my cast skill until Arakaalis).

Once you reach level 53 you can optionally equip severed in sleep and the arakaalis already and it will cast the spiders from time to time or if you use Cyclone or any other skill which kills monsters.

With level 60 you can use the Writhing Jar Flask and therefore the desecrate/Orb of Storms setup to cast the spiders. This requires some sort of training (see "How to cast spiders" section).

Casting spiders gets harder once you got Devouring Diadem due to Feast of Flesh consuming the corpses required to spawn the spiders every 4 or 5 seconds. So make sure to train casting them. Please watch the video guide.

Bandits: Kill all

Ascendancy: Mindless Aggression->Commander of Darkness->Mistress of Sacrifice->Bone Barrier

Pantheon: Soul of Solaris and Soul of Ryslatha.

The Life Flask Regen does also count for Writhing Jar. So if you fail to cast the spiders just stay alive :D. For confident Spidermancers I recommend Soul of Tukohama.

The spiders last about 1 1/2 minutes (about 1 minute 36 seconds).


Further advise:

Spoiler
Fights with phases or fights like Uber Elder will require you to recast the spiders mid-fight. Make sure you got that mechanic going or just accept that you might need more than one portal if you fail.

Feel free to use even better Ghastly Eye Jewels. I recommend to use the Cluster Jewels as shown for best Damage and survival of the other minions.

Severed in Sleep is a drop by Chayula and can be obtained pretty early in League. United in Dream is the Upgrade which can be obtained by using a Blessing of Chayula (also Chayula Drop) on a Severed in Sleep.


General advise:

- You use Devouring Diadem in Endgame. Make sure to cast Desecrate when kiting and dodging, so if you get hit, Devourings Feast of Flesh will heal you up completely again.

- Whirling Blade through the boss or an enemy nearby to keep Fortify up.
You can use a higher level Flesh Offering if wanted to self cast (e. g. in boss fights). I just have it a level 11 for the CWDT setup cause of lazyness :D

- Awakened Gems are not required. I chose them in here just to show what is possible with Spiders. Normal 20/20 Multistrike, Melee Physical Damage and Minion Damage still give you 5+ mio. Shaper DPS in SAND STANCE (5.6 in Blood Stance).

- The gear in the PoB can be improved a LOT. But with this I would be able to do the most of the endgame content. Feel free to improve it for your own use and suggest it here in the comments! :)

Maven: Well, I haven't tried it yet. I guess this is possible, but you will need to mitigate some of the damage somehow and have good movement. The build with just about 4.8 to 5k life (more is possible though less damage) will definitely require a very good movement in that fight. The spiders are unkillable. They will not bother any of what Maven or the spawns throw at them. The main issue is simply staying alive. If you can do that, I'm sure Maven is doable with it.

- If you have the currency, can sustain less damage and want to be tankier, you can switch Aspect of the Spider and Fenumus Shroud to Aspect of the Crab and Craiceanns Carapace. Recommend Jeweller's method for colors.

- Yes, Golems are still the strongest. But on a Budget, especially if not being created directly at league start, this build will enable newer players who struggle with Endgame content like T11-T16 and even boss fights like Elder, Shaper, Uber Elder to get those done. Can't tell about Maven yet, haven't gotten there yet.

- This build is particularly meant for players, who struggle with endgame content like maps from T10 to T16 and also many boss fights. It will help since players can focus more on dodging, using flasks, etc.

And if any, Spiders are super fast and extraordinary awesome for farming. Hope this helps and some more people can enjoy the spiders cleaning house. Enjoy!

I actually made one a few leagues ago. If Iw ent for scion I'd take Necromancer and Guardian for perma Onslaught. You would however lose a lot of Minion Damage, so I went back to Necromancer, so it can keep up with current Minion Builds like Golems. Golems however are still the kings, but for a budget build like this it feels pretty awesome.

I tried Skyscans version 2 leagues ago ( if my mint is not wrong) and I really enjoy it, Im going to tried this one after I finish with my current build ( poison BV), thx for sharing it!


Sorry if I made a mistake, english is not my mother tongue ^-^U

Thanks! Arakaalis is drop or chance only. You could pick up a white fiend dagger and chance/scour it. It is a 50/50 outcome if it become a unique, as there do only exist two unique fiend daggers.

Other than that, many got it from Rituals or as drops. Writhing Jar Flask is extremely common though.

Wow Thanks Mate,it really helps me alot though :O :)
I didn't know this is actually only drop / chance-able.

Also wanted to ask ... this works the same as the Leather Belt to HH case?
I mean whatever iLevel is it,for example in range of 38 to 85 or higher the better?
Does this work in rare mods maps too,if im trying to chance / scour the dagger there?

Also i already have 3 jar flasks

Thanks Alot Mate You helped Me Much
