[3.18] OUTDATED Arakaali's Fang Necromancer
" I don't think you understand my question. I was referring to elemental ailments (ignite, freeze, sap, etc.). Resist cap does not ignore ailments. I was thinking Brine King for stun and freeze, tempest shield for shock. Last edited by essenze#2291 on Jun 4, 2022, 10:10:31 PM

" Yep, you can get ailment immunity % from your gear, run purity of elements, use pantheons, use jewel implicits, and if you have one you can use mageblood suffixes to be immune to ailments. Any of those work really its up to you I'm at the point where ailments aren't really killing me all that much so I forego purity of elements for malevolence, and if i'm doing a boss fight where I want to be immune to an ailment I have flask swaps for mageblood :) |

" Armor is just for phys hits yes; for chaos damage if you're chaos capped you should be fine against most sources of chaos damage (use arakaali major pantheon if needed). Armor does NOT give you defense against physical damage over times as those are not hits, you just need to avoid them or build enough regen to out regen them. |

" So, corruption increases the effect of YOUR wither. If you are applying wither stacks to an enemy they will have increased effect. With the two exceptions being from the stacks from withering step, which don't persist for long OR the stacks from the occultist ascendancy which also don't persist for long, they are just used for the -%All res from your wither belt enchant, all the wither stacks applied are from our minions, our minions are not us, their wither stacks do not have increased effect. PoB shows it as a huge more multiplier because it doesn't know who's wither stacks they are; just that the enemy has 15 wither stacks on them. It's a fake dps increase and is a waste of an annoint. Ravenous Horde is good for mapping; but if you don't want to use charisma IMO you should annoint a notable from your glorious vanity timeless jewel; if you annoint whatever the actual notable is but the timeless jewel converts it, it'll give you the new notable stats instead of the original one, so if you have a good notable from your jewel I would annoint that if you don't want to use charisma. Other good ones include prismatic skin / soul of steel, more defensive ones. |

" Ho i see, i didn't know for the timeless jewel interaction, will try. Thanks for the detail answer realy nice. Fly safe |

" I was trying to figure out the same thing without having to use purity of elements or other band-aid fixes which don't account for the alternate ailments. You can squeeze in purity of elements if you fork out at least 10ex for the cheapest Auls, being the Grace variant. Or you could look at getting 100% avoidance from gear + tree. 20 from eldritch implicit on boots, 35 from essence on boots, 25 from bench craft on body and 20 from crystal skin anoint (alternatively get an Impossible Escape jewel with EE on it if u want save your anoint for something else). |

OP why did you sell off your spider gear and switch RF? Just curious. Was about to pivot to this build to complete uber boss/bossing achievements after growing tired of BV mapping but may reconsider if there are better uber bossing builds out there.

" No problems about the build, I just am the kind of person who likes to play one build at a time and I wanted more money to craft. I farmed around 2-3 mirros with the build, it works very well and I'll likely be playing it next league if it doesn't get changed :) Also, - its Cold Reap Inquisitor, I only use RF for more damage :3 Last edited by Deathskull45#5593 on Jun 6, 2022, 1:41:17 AM

Spoiler
Still enjoying the build despite my currently scuffed use of it. While reading deeper into how I can improve it (my character's loadout, that is, not your build) I came across something odd.
You mention the top defensive layer is: "High armor with vaal molten shell + molten shell cwdt" However, molten shell isn't supported by cwdt. I even put it on my hotbar and stared at it as I got hit and it never triggered. What am I missing here? EDIT: I answered my own question. I leveled up vaal molten shell too high!

Not sure if this is mentioned anywhere but you should be able to utilise spectres and AG. I'm using them on basic alc and go T16 and seems fine so far, will report back to see how they fare in more juiced content and bossing. I'm using this with anomalous controlled destruction, which should result in zero crit and thus no downside from Ancient Skull. I've also spec'd into Grave Intentions, +8 max res mastery and Decay Ward (using Impossible Escape with Necro Aegis) to give them a bit more tank for not too much investment. I use Carnage Chieftans and Arena Master, and will use They of Thul if I can somehow get the 3rd spectre without too much investment.
