🌬️⛵☁️[3.25] The dirty Scorpion-tail|Chaos-Necromancy 600M+|Herald of Agony CI-Arachnophobia Allstars

Well I've made a whole lot of changes again lol. Got my res up enough and my stats high enough to support everything. Melding of flesh is online along with another pure agony cluster. Slotted in a cult-leader at the moment until I have enough skill levels to either reach the chaos +1 levels or another jewel slot.
Changed the reduced curses effect to the armor to ES recharge rate and that feels a lot better lol, thanks for catching that long with the wasted zealot's oath. Was able to get a -76 Res -4% max res melding of flesh for a good price as well as a Aegis Aurora with Grace on it to free a slot. If I can replace it with a determination one later I will but this one works well for now. Still need to get the 90 reservation helm and figure out a way to get some more cold res to beef up my max resists... Not sure a good way to go about that right now but maybe I can get a winter prowler at lvl 100 instead of the chaos mastery to bump it up to 85%. https://pastebin.com/XF8tN8FP Oh I also replaced my old belt jewel

10% increased Global Critical Strike Chance (implicit) Corrupted Blood cannot be inflicted on you (implicit) -------- +29 to maximum Energy Shield +11% to Fire and Lightning Resistances Minions deal 20 to 25 additional Chaos Damage -------- With this belt jewel

--------
10% increased Global Critical Strike Chance (implicit) Corrupted Blood cannot be inflicted on you (implicit) -------- +35 to maximum Mana 3% of Damage taken Recouped as Mana Minions have 10% chance to Poison Enemies on Hit +2% Chance to Block Spell Damage if you were Damaged by a Hit Recently -------- to help with mana since I no longer needed the res from the last one. The spell block should help a bit to deal with the lost energy shield as well. Not good enough with the Path of Building to figure out how much of a help the poison chance is though. Couple other things I want to try and mess with is swapping out my skin of the lords for a 4 green, 1 blue, one red to try out vile toxins instead of full life support now that I have a lot more investment into the poison side of things, and I want to experiment with different 4-links for the poison application to see if I can find a good option to link with the Storm Burst CwC that can linger a bit when we have to move to keep up the poisons. So yeah I think mostly I just need to find some more Max Resistance now and slot in some more pricy items as I go, I appreciate all the help you gave!

" So I'll figure out a way for Despair and the jewel. Have to get that. I did make updates after the PoB I posted. Was able to cap resistances to 82% with a -5% Melding. I'll grab a -4% Melding tonight. Also looks like I forgot to take Wicked Ward after switching Skins. ✓ - Regret 3 passives redemption. ✓ - Regret 4 passives utmost intellect. ✓ - Regret the last, the third passive serpentine spellslinger. Put the Veteran Defender Large Cluster here and had to keep the Dex Split Personality to meet Dex requirements. I could not find Riot Queller. Have kept checking Trade and none have come up. Also added a Cold Res Small with Winter Prowler here. I'll have to play with it. - Path to next clusterjewelslot next to divine shield. Insert a medium cluster pure agony, insert the jewel "the melding of the flesh" (with good rolls). I guess this might be off the old PoB I had. Seems like I'll have to level. - Change the 2x 4% spellblock in arcane sanctuary into 4 passives arcane guarding for reaching already 100% ailment-avoidances. Spell block is capped and haven't found a Veteran Defender / Riot Queller Large Cluster. Seem rare right now. - Get another large cluster (spellblock or better veteran defender on pos 1 or pos 3, see tradelinks, for the next changes) or activate +1 chaos mastery corruption. Here's where I'm at: https://poe.ninja/pob/Tsh Thanks for taking the time to keep looking at my character. Really appreciate it. To Do: ☐ Take Wicked Ward. ☐ Change Curse-Reduction to Armour increase ES recharge. ☐ Upgrade some of the other resistances on Cluster Jewels. ☐ Upgrade -70%/-5% Melding of Flesh for a -4% Melding of Flesh to reach 83%. ☐ Impossible Escape for +1 Max. ☐ White Triads Última edição por chrischoi#5738 em 14 de fev de 2023 19:44:29

" What type of content are you able to do with the build? Do you use Vaal Impurity? Do you find 2800 ES sufficient? Whoa. Just realized Vaal Impurity of Ice gives +11-12% when used. Are you able to spam it consistently? Última edição por chrischoi#5738 em 14 de fev de 2023 21:39:55

Would you put Despair on Arcanist Brand or cast separatly?

I'm really diggin' this build so far. It's very powerful and has been a lot of fun to use to get through the acts.
I am completely lost on what gems to put where though. Some images say one thing, texts, say another, POB says another, and my head is spinning. (Honestly, I'm pretty dumb and have flu-brain currently.) " I know I should probably replace Spell Echo with Storm Brand but I like the huge ball aoe it gives currently. Am I doin' somewhat correct with my Gems? Or are there anything I should move around instead? Última edição por Duskwright#6083 em 15 de fev de 2023 05:17:34

" Thank you duskwright! Yes, Poe is often complex with huge content and so is the build too, hihi. Simply take in pob the activated "final" skills, trees and tabs for default content. Other skills are always deactivated/ unchecked /greyed out for a reason. And when you digg deeper you fast know why there is a variation "pierce" for the HoA in maps (see emtext and spoiler "skills" for HoA-supports e.g.) or a variation tempestshield (see "manamanager" or "large clusters" e.g.). Read the gem-texts + read the build and thematical spoilers. There is much space for variations, and I would guess that is maximizing the fun in poe too for many gamers. For example you miss the recommended best tanky skill molten shell. For example unbound ailments are great with high HoA-optimizations, but not optimal in lower HoA-levels. Spirit Offering is not recommended. Use arcanist brand-unearth-bone offering for blockings and tankyness like in the pob final skills. Of course it's depending on your level and prefered poe-content. In all this the guided mechanics and the different pob-tabs will help you against bosses, ubers, for specialisations, for challenges, for variations. This build tries to enable to balance mechanics, to vary content and skills, to optimize both tankyness and damage, and as result it is not a short or also not an one-fitting-all pob and build, sorry.

" Hi chrischoi! With "balance of terror"-jewel and against ubers selfcast despair. In maps I personally prefer the combo with less withers and less damage, more qol - clean screen with 1 click: Divergent storm brand - hextouch - despair - temporal chains Última edição por Chromino#4813 em 15 de fev de 2023 12:23:58

" No, 2800 is not enough. Visit the checklist defences, section Es, for the Es-checks ("9. Check your es") and the best possibilities like ward-flask, needed gear-stats, passives, damage-avoidances etc. Yes, vaal impurity is strong on lower max-resis in elemental-mods in maps. Vaal Discipline is like the life flask for CI's against all damagetypes, ordinary I prefer it first and it activates wicked ward too - that is like 6-7 seconds immortality in almost all ordinary content. Vaal molten shell instead is best as back-up against bosses and ubers when molten shell is on cooldown. Última edição por Chromino#4813 em 15 de fev de 2023 10:26:19

" Oh my ES is 3862, not sure why its listed as that in the PoB. I'm not well versed in it so I probably don't have some settings on or something. Atm I can do maven/eldrich bosses as well as do things as run a super juiced vaal temple, essences, or legion. I've tried sanctum and I'm just too bad at dodging with this build to actually get through it. Pretty sure it would be fine with the right setup involving brands so that you can get those stacks while focusing on dodging. Things can get spicy with my ES spiking around like crazy but the more I optimize the tankier I get. Yeah Vaal Impurity is amazing and great to pop just as you start something you know will start wailing on you to protect yourself while your crawler wakes its butt up. I pretty much always keep convocation and awakened fork support in my inventory lol. Swap them out for mapping/legion. Edit: Although I'm starting to debate rather or not I want that 90% helmet... my grace is on my shield and my determination is free, my Impurity of ice is on my ring lol. Only thing left on the helm is discipline and tempest shield. Última edição por Sirentu#4048 em 15 de fev de 2023 17:46:00

I have tried this build a few times, my friend did this league and gave up after 40/40, he gave me his left overs (arakaali's fang and united in dreams with quality increases area of affect)
I am trying to follow the build, but all the different upgrades, dont know which once to do atm. if you view my profile, and look at "GoddessAbaddon", I need a Veteran Defender jewel, I was debating on using a Megalomaniac w/ Veteran Defender, prodigious defense and either arcane adept for arcane surge and mana regen or victim maker for reduced dmg taken and enemies take more dmg (malediction), just having to wait for 33% of the duration to expire first, compared to arcane surge almost always up. im just about to convert to melding of the flesh, and once my gems corrputed i have a ghost dance armor. would you suggest getting a 2nd grace corrupted aegis for switch, so mapping i can use spiders, during boss switch to united in dreams, activate aura if i have enough mana? |
