[3.26]The dirty Scorpion-Tail|Herald of Agony|Chaos-Cyclone-CI-Necro|The Arachnophobia Allstars 291M

○○○ Patchnotes of Secrets unveiled ○○○


○ Because we ourself are already supporting with 3 top tanky auras and grant a big frostshield, we are the tank. We can use quite offensive supporting Mercenaries and are optimal supporting as well as being supported.

It seems that the allstars-build fits simply optimal into the new 3.26 league-mechanic. HoA is buffed impressive 200%.

○ The new Mercenaries of Trarthus will be eg geared as additional aura-bot (for haste, etc.), for intimidations- and the HoA high-scaling frenzy charges, for withers, as curse-bot, and they will throw some relating skills and supports on the table.


Pantheon

Sommter, Soul of Abberath, is this league catched for the important minor pantheon in the t-10 "Estuary"-map.


Example order of Gear Progression

When you fight a few mercenaries already in the campaign, loot some vaal side areas, sell by Faustus some stacked decks, and send out some ships you obtain very early vaal- and chaos-orbs for a few levelling uniques.




Recommended Mercenaries:



_____________________________________

Animate Guardian



_____________________________________

Amulet Anoint

○ 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 and as necro also high es or high ward rare gloves.

_____________________________________

Chaos Golem of the Maelstrom

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

_____________________________________

Ranking of the Ascendancies

○ 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

So Guardian climbs upon rank 3 in [3.26]

○ Champ decreases because all other ascendancies get some basic fortification too with animate guardian's kingsmaker.

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

_____________________________________

Runegrafts

○ The new Runegraft of Fortress increases es, armour, evasion and ward by 40%. That are in average nice +500 es. Following as result we could gear much cheaper, more easy and more flexible different bodyarmours, like high es or high es+ar rares or brass domes. Absolut perfect tanky fitting in the build's allstars-concept.


○ Runegraft of the Soulwick add more vaal souls for more vaal discipline-uptime (half a soul ripper for 4 c !)



○ Runegraft of the Warp is useable too.



_____________________________________

New craftings

○ Rare minion-helmets and -weapons +2 should be much cheaper and easier to craft with the new Orb of Unravelling and Memory Strands.

Arachnophilia! I do the maths and pobs soon. It's thumbed around in total a 80-150% big buff in damage and 30-80% in tankyness and ehp.

You can't have multiple Runegrafts.

Aaah, thank you a lot Kroohpyyh!

I corrected it in the 3.26 line-ups above.

Overall that Runegraft of Fortress looks perfect for the 1 passive.

Second one can be that of the Soulwick for 1 vaal Soul each second for more uptime of vaal discipline.

I am very curious about many until now not revealed runegrafts further too.

Hey there! This build seems super interesting to play, I've never seen such complex guide out there, however I want to have a realistic expectation. What kind of person would start with this as a league starter? Someone that knows how to make 50 divs in the first 3 days of the league or is this a build that can work with low currency?

What I'm trying to say is, will this build work on a low budget? or will I be soft locked until I can farm a a bunch of currency. I'm not that good at making currency and often just get lucky with drops.

In the case that the build needs an appropriate knowledge on how to make currency do you know or have an alternative nice low budget build that can later transition onto this one?

I would love to start with this one but if I don't get lucky with currency and struggle to even get started that would be pretty sad haha.

Thank you! fantastic material here! :)

HoA is not really a racer. Only with much poe-experiences like Balaar, PoE-Dan or Oldboi HoA was high ranked in the leaguestart-leaderboards.

On the other hand I guess the trademarket will be very difficult in this leaguestart because everybody needs 5 x the gear for Mercenaries, so choosing more meta-skills is quite risky.



Which Prices / Budget?

Thumbed prices were, example necro 4 days after leaguestart, in [3.25]:

■ 15 chaos Ghastly theater, CIP, Rainbow strides, clusters, ghastly jewels for yellow t5
■ 30 chaos Apep slumber, Darkness Enthroned for yellow t11
■ 1 div aegis aurora for red t14
■ 2-5 div skin of the lords/loyals for pinnacles
■ 10-20 div for 25M damage and juiced red t16
■ 20-30 div for 50M damage, t17 and ubers
■ guessed for 3.26: 30-60 div for 200M damage

So the prices are much lower as other minionbuilds, but HoA with clusters and auras remain slower to be built up.


Thank you a lot too NaraKuroha!

Sounds good! I'll go ahead and start with this one, even if it takes more time it looks very fun!

Two more points to be considered after patch notes:
1) Cyclone lost "more Movement Speed" quality, so our MS is touched in a bad way here. And now we have to level Cyclone to reduce ms penalty to 20% less(down from 30% at lvl 1)?
2) Storm burst got reduced cast time, so stacking will be even faster with this trigger

1) Yes. I don't understand ggg with their cylone-ms-nerf. Also we need with lvl 20 6 more mana-reg/sec, that's no problem, we were already in average at not needed high 75 mana-reg/sec.

But also the movementspeed in [3.26] is easy to overcompensate:

- Simply first we change in movementspeed on a flask-suffix.

- Further the Mercenary Kryssa, the Unrivalled, add the aura Haste (or perhaps possible much better Saqawal's Nest and Aspect of Avian).

- Variable with Zarnok, the Detainer's Endurance charges we could switch Elixier of the Unbroken circle to a Quicksilver flask

- In the lategame a mageblood for more movementspeed on flasks instead darkness enthroned turns a bit more interesting.

- Or saving bandit Kraityn is possible beyond.


2) Stormbursts are a bit faster stacking up the HoA-virulences and add a lot es on hit, only while channeling, but until around 105 virulences cyclone as trigger remain much smoother.

Overall cyclone is more fun as storm burst or other channelskills. But there are dozens triggers for HoA possible, like unleash-caster-skills, winter orb, unalterated ball lightnings, the new 3.26 lightningstormskill, firestorm, etc., in "skills and triggers" are much more variations.

The final Crit-Poison-HoA-Necro PoB is ready with the custom configurations for the Mercenaries and Animate Guardian and Runegraft.

Nice 291 M in full tankyness. Let it sting! Arachnophilia!
