🌬️⛵☁️[3.25] Herald of Agony CI|The dirty Scorpion-tail|Minion-Pathfinder|150M+|Inbuilt Mageblood

Just had Omniscience drop :) Got all awakened gems now, divergent HOAG and it is cruising!!!

OFF topic-Any reason my build doesn't show up on POE DB? This the first time I have hit that leaderboard and I got excited to see it and I am missing :(

My account isn't private or anything. Any ideas?

Edit:Had to link my account :) Should show up soon!

Can someone help me find out what I am missing for keep flasks up everytime?
Tried with an amulet with Careful Conservationist and my quicksilver flask to start it, but didnt seem to work.

With "reused at end of this flask-effect" triggered (instead "when charges reach full") you get the 100% uptime.

And activate them once when you start a map.

To clarify something quickly - does Virulence get generated when Minions inflict poisons, and is that why United In Dream is BIS (virulence uptime)?

Hi Chromino,

since yesterday I've been working on the build and I have some questions (which became concerns).

1 - I found the build a little slow to make maps, compared to the guardian version for example, is it really slower than the guardian version?

2 - I'm trying to do simulacrom with her, but I can't get past wave 20 with her, do you have any tips that can help me go further?

Hi radius!

1 - You are at the moment around 6M and will scale the crawler later to 30-50M.
Spiders are fast in not juiced dungeon-design-maps, but in open designed maps with juiced content HoA without Arakaali's will turn much faster when you pathed the minion-mastery unholy might (you can get it on the weapon-crucible tree too for 5 free passives) and optimized damage with more pure agony-clusters, supports, gloves and amulet.

Well b.i.s. builded crawlers hits 6.7x each second with 35 awakened forking projectiles, or 30 anomalous piercing projectiles, with a range of 2 screens, with 45 dps - so in maps like deserts or simulcacrums the clearspeed get unique for all minionbuilds.

2 - for simulacrums higher waves more damage (10M+) and ...

anomalous pierce (very nice to combinate with anomalous faster projectiles too for returning projectiles) or awakened fork
better rolled topaz-flask
probably jade instead basalt-flask
ghastly jewels minion chance to poison on hit
watcher's eye es on hit
100% ailment-avoidances with Ancestral vision, eldritch boots and shield-mastery
divergent storm burst instead cyclone for singletargets. Because of cyclone you will probaly often not generate full max HoA-virulences. Change faster casting to ball-lightnings and against singeltargets like Kosis use storm burst.

... are needed.

No, your own chance to poison with spells is needed for generating HoA virulences.

Minions have their own wording and tag.

"Minion" chance to poison (on united in dreams and ghastly jewels) buff the HoA-damage much and is great scaled further with awakened unbound ailments, temporal chains, withers and more chaos-damage-buffs.

So you need 2x poisonchance, both are important, see spoiler "the composition of agony".

Hello, I like this build, but I want to know about the budget to get started and clear t16 maps fast or relatively fast, 10 Divs are enough for this? With any version of the build? Which version is better for low-budget and mid-budget?

Update:

I've swapped over to 65 stack agony and my damage is like...pretty high, all things considered, probably close to 20m boss pob? But I think I overdid it and am kind of squishy (I had to drop tempest shield for now too) so I'm kinda ripping in my maps sometimes and not really going up much xp. I think an enlighten + tempest shield + ailment immunity will probably fix that going forwards, but I'll have to see how to go about that exactly - My spellblock is gonna drop more if I give up rainbowstride, too. Feels really hard to get block super high- maybe I should get a better skin of the lords?

Made some changes and bought a couple stuff to improve.
Defensively a monster, currently good for mapping as well.

Still need some on my character for bosses, most of the time I only can get 30-35 stacks of Virulence. Not sure if because of mana needed/regen or missing other things.
Any quick win or tips to make it stack better?
