[3.8]🦂 Agony`s Gentle Touch Necro-How to make enemies POP!7k+💖Cheap💰Fast Clear✅ 6.9 Mil Shaper Dps🎇
Welcome to this Build Guide. Blight league has arrived and after playing a trapper i wanted to check the new Summoner Stuff and what it all was about. I came up with this Herald of Agony summoner and it wa so extremly fun to play that i decided to share it with you guys. This Build can get started with just a few items but also scales good with investment. I would describe this Build as the perfect Allrounder with main focus on mapping and boss killing. Why an Allrounder? Well its a Bosskiller, it can delve relatively deep (currently at 300+),it has alot of defence mechanics and most importantly it maps faster than most summoners while able to do any map mods. Also its so damm satisfying to burst whole monsterpacks with a single POOF So if you are looking for a summoner build seriously dont look any further and pick this one.

The goal of this build was to make a fast clearing summoner, with nice single target Damage and good survivabillity.
Our skill of Choise is the Herald of Agony skill.This skill summons a little scorpion when you poison enemys and does serious Damge. The more poison you apllied recently( up to 40) the more damage this little scorpion does. It scales extremely well with gem levels and here is where a new item, which got intodruced during Blight league, comes into play. May i introduce you to the all mighty With the help of this Dagger we can reach a level 31 Herald of Agony gem witout Empower or corrupted items. Level 31 is so important because it is a damage breakpoint. The damage increase from Level 30 to Levl 31 is a whooping 28.5% more Damage! With the right gear we can even go up to a level 32 Herald of Agony. We use a poisoning Winterorb setup to poison our enemys and generating virulence stacks. Winterorb is a great choise for a number of reasons: It can be supportet by Greater Multiple Projectiles while doing aoe dmg on impact. It last over a duration so you can move while clearing. It Auto targets It scales doubble with cast speed because cast speed decreases the time until reaching max stacks and increases the projectile frequency. It is ranged - why go into enemys face if you can evaporate them of a save distance? Also ever smelled a rotten zombie? They stink!🤢 Now that we have enough damage to olibberate any boss, we need to get some Aoe Explosions into the mix because explosions are the one thing in live which makes live bearable. Just kidding but you get the message. So may i introduce you to the second core item of this build? Dont be scared of this wall of text i will make it short. Step 1 Curse enemies packs Step 2 let your agony crawler shoot them Step 3 Watch whole pack explode with a pleasing Poof sound (HA get rekt porcupines!) If you ask me those gloves are really underrated they have decent live roll, granting temp chains on hit and enables aoe explosion which deal 3% of the monsters life as physical damage. With the Help of Spiritual Aid (Increases and reduction to minion damage also affects you) we are able to scale the 3% Damage explosion further beyond with general minion damage,for a stronger POOOF
➕High clearspeed ➕High single target (5mill shaper) ➕Extremly fun Playstyle ➕Cheap to get going ➕Can do any map mod (alch and go) ➕Good survivabillity and multi-layered defence ➕Nice and fast Delving ➕Oblitterates Blight content even t15 blight maps ➕Low Minion count ➕easy levelling
➖Really hates Proximity shields

Spoiler
Ascendancy 1.Mindless Agression - Good amount of stats and travel node 2.Unatrual Strengh - Essential to get our herald of agony to level 31 3.Bone Barrier - Nice defensive stats also Bonebarrier is very usefull 4.PlagueBringer -I tryed all 3 remaining choises and sticked with it, its up almost most of the time and 10% more damage and 10% less damage taken are really strong buffs. Bandits: Kill them all for the Skill Points. Pantheon: I recomend: Minor nodes - Soul of Shakari or Ralakesh Main node - Soul of Lunaris
We use 3 Different spectres
1 Carnage chieftain 2 undying evengalist 3 Ruins Hellion 4 Or for more Damage instead of ruins helion
I will make 3 diffrent setups: A minimum setup - you need atleast this to get the build rolling. An advanced setup - includes 6l chest and other stuff. An expansive setup - for people who want to throw some money on it.

Extremly nice and realy fun to Play. Speed Farming pure :-)
|
|
I don't post very much, but this build seems very interesting and it will probably be my 2nd, this league.
|

" Great to hear, if you have any questions dont hesitate to ask here or pm me Ingame if u catch me online. Cheers |
|
I'm still playing on a 4 linked chest, I got all the rest up to 'your' standards. I've been playing this game since beta and there are very little builds I haven't played yet. From the most 'meme-y' ones to the absolute meta builds.
Having that said, this build is amazing. It's among the few most fun builds I've ever played or seen. Thanks. |
|
" Your character looks very good,i like your rings :) Try to get a level 21 gem now it will be an substantial dmg boost. |
|
The build is super smooth, as I had predicted.
Tankier than the classic summoner and cheaper too. Ravenous Horde and Herald lvl 21, are quality of life and highly recommended, as the guide suggests. @ EkarPoe, any suggestions for another skill/links except of Winter orb? What is your opinion about Cobra Lash? Ty for a nice different build. |
|
Loving the build, what is the Patheon for the build pls.
|
|
" Sry didnt included this yet take the imune to poison one. and the anti chain from your minions. Its kinda late here atm, i will make sure to include the exact info in deatil next day |
|
Loving the build. However: What's going on with the Golden Rule and Shakari? My understanding is that Shakari defeats the purpose of The Golden Rule: you no longer double up your virulence stacks, because poison can no longer be inflicted on you. (And if you don't have Shakari, Golden rule will reflect your gentle touch explosions back on you, and you will just melt.)
Also, because gentle touch deals physical damage coming from you, doesn't this mean that you'll end up nuking yourself on phys reflect maps? |
