Where in the freaking world can i find a higher level host chieftan? :c i cant find them on any map anywhere and not with desecrate either HALP :c

You do not need to find high level spectres. You raise the low level spectre of your choice, then use a high level desecrate in a high level map. The desecrate will eventually create a high level corpse of this spectre you want, which you then cast raise spectre on.

If you really want to find one though, I have seen them in the forest at the start of incursions ....

Ye i notice desecrate do this but i can onyl geet the blood and carnage version of the monkeys doing this method i dont think you can get host monkey from it :c i tried so many times

Interesting variation gepmah. How does shield charge feel without much attack speed? I tried it early on and it felt so clunky I ditched it. Also, why the 2 purities?

I started using shield charge only after lvl 70+ when I've got Ahn's heritage + Onslaught for faster attacks. Still, I'm mainly running around just to stay safe (cuz its hardcore) and shield charge along the way for fortify. Attacks speed is pretty good right now, over 2 attacks per second.

Purities just to be safe :D It's always nice to have 82/83 max res for HC :D I'm planning to use 3rd one after acquiring Enlighten lvl4...

I'm running a bit twiked kind of this build on HC incursion, and it's pretty good so far. Incursions are hard when your minions slow as f, but later on you clear whole incursion easily.

For my personal preference, I'm running with Ahn heritage(+3 max res) and Montregul grasp(for stronk zombies :)
double Fragility for perma Onslaught
Wyrmsign for Rampage, clear speed is crazy)
The Baron for extra zombies and strength to boost all of my minions
and ofc Belly
(Second Violent dead jewel is useless, cuz with Zombie ascendancy and 1 violent dead, zombie slam cooldown is 1.5s down from 5, and second Violent dead gives 1.25s slam cooldown, which is nothing)


TLDR: this is a nice starter build, all the gear you see below acquired with him alone (not SSF ofc :D)

Heres my gear (lvl 80 for now)

hey can I see your passive tree? Because those items are what I am aiming for!

Question:
We kill all bandits right?

Sure, here's my character: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/gepmah/characters

kill the bandits it's the right way)

For Host chieftans (Power Charges), go to the Riverways in Act 6.
For Carnage Chieftans (Frenzy Charges), go to the Riverways in Act 2.

Raise one of each. Now go your hideout and open the highest level map you can. Enter the map and cast your high level desecrate. Raise the corpse you want with raise spectre. It may take many casts, but eventually you will get 2 carnage chieftans and one host chieftan.

If all this is too much trouble, the host chieftan does not add too much dps, so just raise the carnage chieftans and use your 3rd spectre for anything else you find.

grim can you put down the bandits in the OP?

I am only level 28 and this is my gear so far in Incursion, can I get some help with my gem linking and advice on what I should get next? Queen's escape is my dream but I don't have anywhere enough currency. Probably will use chober chaber for now:

I just put a line in the levelling heading.

Your gear is already good enough to get you to yellow maps!

My suggestion is:

Chest (tabula Rasa) - Vaal summon skeletons, minion damage, melee physical, maim, ruthless, melee splash (replace ruthless or maim with brutality when you get level 38
Helm (Baron) - Raise Zombie, minion damage, melee phsyical, brutality

* If you are having mana issues, you can use a 'from dust' jewel or put the skeletons in the helm and the zombies in the chest. This issue goes away when you get bone sculptor ascendency (about level 55)

All you other gear, just aim for life, strength/dex and resists as you find it. Defences from a shield and a one hander will probably be better than chober chaber for now. You'll get plenty of currency later on and should be a able to buy a 5 link queen's escape when you start mapping. Then you can put skellies in the weapon and start using spectres and animate guardian in the helm.

Your cheaper option is to give up the minion speed and gain tankiness. Buy wyrmsign, ahns heritage, mon'treguls grasp (at level 68) - should only cost 3 alch in total.

Thanks grim!

How are you doing on your build so far? I'm saving up for a queen's escape atm. I am sure I can get it since it doesn't cost that much. But my real concern is getting it to 6 link. were you able to 6 link your queen's escape already? Do I just have to grind in order to do that?I heard that I need 1,200 fuses to get a link. not sure if I can do that. At least I have at tabula rasa for now. I can use that as my 6 link and try and get a 5 link going on my weapon later on.

Last league I was lucky and 6 linked a Queens escape after about 250 fusings. I then tried about 700 on my chest piece with no luck. You'll be fine with a 5 link for all content, so no need to grind too hard.

This time, I made a character in the normal league, but wanted to see how I go SSF, so am not purchasing anything (yet). I found this nicely coloured six link chest:

I'll just cruise through the maps and see what else drops. I'll probably never find a queen's escape so just go for a tankier build.

How can you tell what your animate guardian stats are? (you say 35k hp in your post?)

You can see it in path of building, select the animate guardian skill and it shows a life stat based on your gear, gems, passive nodes.
