[3.26]The dirty Scorpion-Tail|Herald of Agony|Chaos-Cyclone-CI-Guardian|Arachnophobia Allstars 55M

○○○ Patchnotes of Secrets unveiled ○○○

○ Chaos golem now inflict 20% more effext of withers - that is a huge 17% more (++10-90M) dps buff to the whole build!

○ The new Mercenaries of Trarthus will be eg geared as aura-, intimidations-/frenzy charges, and curse-bot with kingmaker (fortify & culling strikes & 50% increased HoA-crit-damage-multiplier) or throw some skills like Icicle Mines of Sabotage - Minefield for 500% HoA-crit-chances to switch out Maata'sTeaching ... So we will have less socket-pressure and a much more easy auras-skilling.

○ The second companion, the new buffed Animate Guardian, not loosing it's gear on death, will be added for 8% more damage (crown of the tyrant), eg fortify & culling strikes & 50% increased HoA-crit-damage-multiplier (kingmaker), or instead as cursebot (18% increased effect of curses, temporal chains), perhaps socketed in a hungry loop too.

○ When we use one of the companions as cursebot, we can anoint our amulet with 'charisma' instead 'whispers of doom' to use the ring-variations hungry loop for AG (elemental army - minion life - meatshield - empower) or Shavronne's Revelation +1000 es, +65 mana-reg.

○ As necro also tanky rare high es or high ward gloves should be able to be squeezed in 3.26

○ HoA-Guardian: "The Unwavering Faith Ascendancy Passive Skill has been reworked. It now grants 50% increased Reservation Efficiency of Skills."
That’s huge and makes the auras- and herald skilling much more easy. That’s equal to 2 additional auras (flesh and stone etc.) or 3 flexible small clusters or jewels. Aurastacking 2.0

○ Elemancer with new herald-efficiencies, 200% buffed chaos-golem and shockings becomes interesting too.

○ The new Runegraft of Fortress increases armour, es, evasion and ward by 40%. Following as result we could gear more flexible bodyarmours, like high es or high es+ar rare body armours or brass domes. Absolut perfect tanky fitting in the build's allstars-concept.

○ And Runegrafts of the Soulwick add more vaal souls for more vaal discipline-uptime.

○ Example HoA-poison-crit-Necro with +configurations for animate guardian, mercenary, runegraft of fortress and chaos golem of maelstrom (240M damage, 51M ehp):

Arachnophilia! I do the maths and pobs soon. It's thumbed around in total a 40-60% big buff in damage and 30-50% in tankyness and ehp.

noice. the Unwavering Faith change is huge and i can actually skip a lot of no before needed reservation on skill tree and/or on gear.

Animate Guardian seems like an obv fit for many builds now, but this could be sweet.
looking to boost him so he will survice t17 madness with minimum sockets tho.

At last, after 2 years of playing Jugg / Chieftain I can go back to my beloved Arachophobia(filia). I am curious about prices in first month. I play slow, 2h a day and get resources around month 1. What is your predition? In the old days the biggest problem was getting shield and right Skin of the L. And now? How much self-crafting helps with gearing?
