Ok I will try, but not easy atm, thanks :)

Has my recent items/jewels/build. You can see its not on par w/ the main build... But its not too expensive and I'm doing insane damage.

I'd suggest get your spectres and AG setup asap, that made a MASSIVE difference in survivability for me too.


It's encouraging to be helped, thanks to you and thanks to Chromino :)

So now I'm conviced I can reach a very good dps for chea :) All I need is to be strong enough to farm Rituels, maybe it's not the best strat but last league it was wonderfull

I reached 100% spell suppression yesterday and I have noticed the big difference in survability, but I still die while inside huge packs of monsters and don't know why, maybe koz of poison or I cannot leech from them because they have block chance... no idea

For spectres I have Perfect Guardian Turtle / Judgement Spirit and Pain Artist
AG with Ephemeral / Kingmaker / Windscream / Asenath and Leer Cast
My setup was AG + Spectres + Chaos Golem of the Maelstrom + Feeding Frenzy
I swapped Feeding Frenzy for Minion Life koz they die often even I spam the Bubbling divine flask of the Necromancer, they are more tanky but the AG still die then I lose spectres and I'm almost naked against the monsters :( It's a pain


As far as I see in zour actual pob, zour max hit taken are alreadz awesome, and zou have good fixed spell suppression and chaos/resis.

But you lack the HoA-virulences, HoA-damage and life-recovery. And in high density the golden rule suicides you.

Get "unaffected by poison" on boots.

Take a look into "HoA step by step". Your poisonchances are low 20% and miss the golden rule etc., so you do not generate HoA-virulences. Use a poison-mastery for needed crit-immunities until you have an AG in Garb of Ephemeral.

Swap plaguebringer to bonebarrier.

Get a shaper-ring life+mana on spellhit, eg:
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/q9Rwq369ug

Outsource resis+attr on ghastly-jewels, regret no longer needed passives like shown in pob.

Get the clusters pure agony and voices, follow closer the pob-tree.
Later get the Bitter Heresy Bloodline, cheapest triggered by flametotem.


So there are some things to build up!
Arachnophilia!

Question, if I have Triad Grip gloves w/ 4x White sockets, do I no longer need the Unnatural Strength node in necro ascendancy?
pretty sure yeah, that you wont need unnatural strength at that time, if you get that
Please define "Low Budget"
I did try to follow the 125M TT Total Tqank 1M++ EHP Poison-HOA ....(Low Budget).
First 2 Small cluster jewels i did check( the ones with sublime form) cost 15 divines each ... way worse than the ones included in budget -pob version. I gave up.

Hey k4t4,

when you are new into poe the balancing & managing of suffixes and stats is sometimes complex.

There are 2 spoilers in the guide about typical HoA-Allstars-budgets, here they are copied for you when you missed them.

Defining "low" or "high" is not easy to do.
When you more play poe you probably will get experienced to farm a mirror and more each league, while starting a into poe and a league each one div can remain a struggle.
Eg in YouTube or here in the forums are many streamers who call 500 div cheap or in opposite 200 div expensive. So I listed the build progress and dps-checks in the game linked to their average budgets.


Which Prices / Budget?

Thumbed, example necro 4 days after leaguestart [3.27]

(Prices listed piece by piece on necro-page 100)

■ 10 chaos for yellow T5
■ 40 chaos for red T14
■ 1 div aegis aurora for red T16
■ 4-6 div watcher's eye for pinnacles
■ 10-20 div for 25M damage and juiced red T16.5
■ 20-40 div for 50M damage, nightmares and ubers
■ 40-80 div for 200M damage

30% less when you craft some stuff yourself.


■ 200 div for 400M damage
■ 250 div for 800M damage
■ 800 div for 1000M damage
■ 1500-3000 div for 1500M-4B-7B damage

When you have read a bit more in this build, you learn to build in very flexible all suffixes. Then you do not need to take the pob-placements of stats to strict, eg when you see them cheaper in trade on other slots.

I e. reduce the small clusters to 25% increased effects instead 35%.
Eg I got mine almost b.i.s. clusters you see in my Mirage-char "The Herald of the Short Worm" each for 10-100 chaos this league 2 days ago and 5 days ago. He has in total a cheap budget around 12-13 div until now. Most I invested into my watcher's eye 9 div, medium rolled boots 1 div and aegis aurora weaker double-implicit 1 div. All other pieces were extreme cheap asf. Does easy and fast medium juiced t16.6 and all pinnacles. 3 deaths level 85-95 when I remember correct, all 3 in exarch's 1000 suns.

Also there are other easy workarounds guided, like congregation-support for +1 aura-spectre, then you do only need 1 cluster.

This league it looks like there are a few minor inflations again and the chaos-div ratio is changing. Some content is more farmed, other content less, like each league in Wraeclast.

Further you can constructive be involved and update the list daily or as often as you like and as often you have the free-time and I link your updates in the build, thank you.

I did not notice the poison tattoos on the pob, I bought 12, 125c each erghhh !
Now it works better to reach the max virulences :)

Get "unaffected by poison" on boots.


Right now boots with chaos resistance + unaffected by poison are very expensive and even I can buy it I will lose the +12 spell suppression, spell suppression tattoos cost 550c each, this is very complicated

Take a look into "HoA step by step". Your poisonchances are low 20% and miss the golden rule etc., so you do not generate HoA-virulences. Use a poison-mastery for needed crit-immunities until you have an AG in Garb of Ephemeral.


I have Kingmaker and Garb of the Ephemeral, I will buy a better helmet than Leer Cast later


"
Swap plaguebringer to bonebarrier.


Works good :)


"
Get a shaper-ring life+mana on spellhit, eg:


Cannot find that ring with + DEX/STR, so I lose ~50 and cannot wear my gear, I have no idea how to get out of this nightmare, If I change an item I have issues with something else



Thanks for your time :)))
