Sorry I am having big troubles trying to understand the poison chance.
Is this right that campaign and early mapping we are self casting? For example I have poisonous concoction, HoA, and Ball Lightning of Orbiting.
Concoction in UI shows poison chance 85%.

But HoA only 45%.
I have 2 jewels that in total give 32% chance for my HoA minion to poison.
So what am I looking for? Am I looking for 100% HoA minion poison chance in POB?
When do I get rid of self casting poisonous concoction? Right now castinf almost Ball/Brand and run.

Do I need 100% poison chance from hand when I go to maps? Do I need 100% poison chance on my HoA minion? Any way to see his poison chance ingame, not in PoB?

Maybe a stupid question, but what's the chain of skills I use in mapping? Just run - Ball of orbiting/Brand and minion deals with everything?


The build uses:

■ 80%-100% "chance to poison on hit" and "chance to poison with your spells on hit" for your own skills and spells: that is the mandatory key-mechanic to generate HoA-virulences

Poisonous concocoction or Cobra lash with their chance to poison are used while levelling and are swapped out around lvl 40-75 for other skills.

■ "minion chance to poison on hit" on ghastly jewels, which is instead binded to the game-tag "minions" and is far less important.


The poison for yourself and the poison for minions are in depth guided in the spoiler "Herald of Agony step by step".

The levelling-progress is guided in "Beginning and Levelling".

Iam using the normal cyclone/cast when channeling/ball Lightning of orbeting combo and spin too win arround in maps with so auto triggered ball lightnings.

That is really easy and chill
So Got a 6+ skin of loyal last night, and a couple other small changes. REALLY feel like I am absolutely destroying everything. POB says I am sitting around 88m DPS using your config.

https://pobb.in/h1BKkk7U (ignore profile name, just imported my gear/passives)

Check it out and let me know what you'd think next? I know I need to get some better voices, and max cold res gems. Really stuck finding boots w/ lower str req that have res + ms + unaffected.

REALLY feel like I am absolutely destroying content though. Running insanely juiced maps without much of an issues, except when my AG dies.

Looks awesome! Congrats!

With greater fork switched to a HoA-singletarget-support you are already above 150M dps.

Yes, companions become in some content squishy, but eg against Ubers they remain undying. You can add something like life on hit etc. and imbued djinn-supports to them. And exarch-embers for the helmet add some minion-life too.

But the build gets almost immortal without them too and it`s no problem when they die sometimes...

Probably your next upgrade is the mageblood 2 or 3 permament flasks, 40 / 70 div, for movementspeed and +max-cold-resis. That would help also about str and can add a bit tanky phys max hit taken.
Or also the Progenesis-flask adds a lot tankyness (79 div).

Your boots are strong, will be hard to find or craft better ones, hehe.

Bone barrier should add tankyness with leech and 1 passive for the life-mastery. When you prefer to keep plaguebringer, regret 1 passive ghost reaver.

Dont know what you all find so expensive on this build?
The most stuff is in 1-20 Chaos range and really easy too reach for no-pro player like me.

with my 3 good mods watchers eye together iam now on only 15 Div budget and have the most allready going with all 4 aura spectres and full geared AG.
Many other builds dont work with so low investments.


when you only want too buy direct only the perfect gear pierces without crafting, every build is much more expensive than normal.



Yes, exactly.
The build remain until 500M extremely cheap. And because not only the gear, but also the ghastly jewels and the clustertransfers are flexible useable to cap suffixes etc., you always find a very cheap upgrade.
Also because 100-150M dps are often reached very soon around lvl 90-95, you can balance so much capacities flexible into all missing stats too.

For new poe-gamers all the mechanics and prefixes/suffixes can look complex, but on the other side stacking medium clusters pure agony, spell suppression and resis is quite simple and straight. Each league there are some Arachnophobiatics who level up their first lvl 100-char with the Allstars.

Hope the Arachnophobiatics take a look into the "checklists stats", ordinary there they find always a fast solution for their needed stat.

Thank you Azuralia.

I've been looking into POB version lvl80-100 and I don't understand one thing.

We are using auras - Grace, Tempest Shield/Flesh and Stone, HOA.
For the spectres we outsource - Determination/Discipline etc.

Then why in the items we have 2 clusters - "Discipline has 80% inc reserved eff" and "Determination has 50% inc reserved eff".
Does it somehow let our spectres use all those auras?
This part is very confusing, because I've got those jewels and now it seems to me it doesn't make sense. I've read the 1st and 100th page and it didn't find this part. I see that everywhere you suggested to outsource Discipline to spectre

What's the best combination for the low budget?
Right now I can fit Grace+Tempest Shield+Flesh and Stone + HOA into the character.
I was planning to outsource Discipline+Determination + something else depending on watchers' eye. But everything so easy speaking about 4 auras spectres, what else x2 do people fit?
