Varashta / Minions / Djinn Build (Need Buff for sure)

this build is literally a short blanket. i pull it over my feet, my arms get cold. i cover my arms, now my feet are freezing. same thing every time.

you go full mapping, yeah it looks flashy, screen freezes, things shatter, feels smooth for a bit… then you hit an actual boss and boom, damage just isnt there. youre just standing there waiting on cooldowns (also iam using sands for bossing).

ok then you say fine, lets push single target more (shifting supports etc). now mapping feels off, packs dont pop clean as it was, flow is gone, everything becomes clunky. whole build starts feeling weird.

then you try to balance both… worst idea. now its bad at everything. not enough damage for bosses, not smooth for mapping, cooldowns keep ruining the tempo. build wants to do everything but actually does nothing properly.

and most importantly, you do get enough damage, yeah its not a meta build and sure you can kill ubers with it… but please, go try it in a +50/60 room temple. its getting terrible. like actually terrible.

in short it always leaves something exposed. you cover one side, the other is freezing. pure short blanket build.

try edc

really? edc is working good with varashta?

hello, this league I have started with varashta and i find it ok.
This ascendancy is very dinamic IMO and i suggest for the most efficient way to deal dmg and clear fast to go: kelari spam for clearing, vaal guards spirits for bossing.

In the poe.ninja I was testing "hulking minion" but swap it out, im not sure it works and i cant refresh my char cus I gifted the whole build.

Thanks mate, i got 2 questions, first why shield over focus?

second question is how many temple rooms you are comfortoable with? mine around +45 begins to slow down yet i assume my gear etc is quite good, missing only +2 from focus. also i tried a friebds temple with +70 with good setup and i couldnt kill almost nothing :D

edit : i had also coc meta blood mage that melts everything... but i wanted to try something else which i saw the power gap which makes me sad
