The allstars in [3.23] Affliction
The Whispering Woods of Arachnophilia That [3.23] was one of my all time favoured leagues - so high flexibility in building, so much possibilities to full juice map-content, the new valdo-puzzle-maps, and so top by 10000 whisps buffed currency-drops were outstanding fun and action-gameplay with empowered mobs. Traditionally I try to summarize the allstars in the league some days before the new league and patch-notes are published. _______________ League mechanics
Spoiler
3.23 was one of the most powerful leagues of GGG. So much flexibility between the ascendancies was introduced with simply an unique jewel that which was taken and the new league-ascendancies. 3.23 news:
Spoiler
Valuable charms and that which was taken: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/7PX6zRlt5 https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/XwM0a3WCP ■■■ Herald of Agony: Quality now provides +0-5 to Maximum Virulence, instead of 0-20% increased Minion Movement Speed. It`s a huge damagebuff! Arachnophilia! Around 5M. It makes our choice of clusters more flexible and we get the poisonchance of the divergent skill-quality easy on the tree, other slots or with the new transforming gems too. ■■■ Ultimatum returns ... CI and aegis aurora will be one of the best choices again in this rippy mechanic. Choose the chaos-notes and win in 100% chaos-immunity. Also our combination of blockings and evasion is imba in the extreme damagepeaks of ultimatums. ■■■ League mechanic: in the small area of view HoA will be a great minion to clear many mobs at range ■■■ New ascendancies: ■ Warlock of the Mists ... with the summoned dark phantasms of the "penance mark" the es on hit of watcher`s eye, es on block of aegis aurora, unholy might in the Minion mastery for HoA after kill, returning projectiles, flask charges and HoA-virulences will be multiplied. Nice synergy! Arakaali's Fang returns into wanted alternatives again too as a modern wormblaster with the on kill-proccs and added singletarget damageproccings of melee splash. The Windshriek-boots, Vixens entrapements gloves, Anathema-ring adding curses will geht much more interesting beside. The former slower HoA-damage against some singletargets will be countered. The gained big uptime of vaal skills is like an immortal button with our high effective vaal discipline. Perhaps Wicked ward for another start of recharge will be taken again into this great set-up. ■■ Or "affliction" with summoned phantasms linked to HoA or by storm burst channelled absolution-sentinels etc. in combination Zealot`s oath will offer extreme high es-reg too. ■ Wildwood Primalist: The 3x new Charms with simple 40% more damage of permanent unholy might, chain explosions, capped attackblocks, top castspeed, high es-reg, skill reservation efficiencies etc. become true too when wanted. So many possibilities bring in best buffs at around 2 different 1/4 benefits of: Inquisitor Sanctuary of Thoughts 25% skill efficiencies Occu Profane Bloom: best for map-clearing Trickster Spell Breaker: Starting es-recharge, combinated with wicked ward Guardian Bastion of Hope: Capped attackblockings (trigger it with flicker strike or shield charge etc.) Guardian Time of Need: es-reg Raider Quartz Infusion: 40% spell suppression ■ Warden of the Maji will probably be not fitting as a ranged caster well with the tinctures. ■■■ New storm burst, storm brand of indecision, purifying flame of revelation, ethereal knifes of massacre - returning projectiles|splitting steel, orb of storms, ice spear .... etc. look interesting for easier and more virulences ■■■ The new Fire storm of pelting, 10 fire storms at a time, will probably be imba for HoA-virulences as well as the new transfiguration into static ball-lightnings or glacial cascade of the fissure. As CI we had a great time hunting the woods for full 5-10k whisps-juice with currency-drops never seen before... The charms and that which was taken-jewel were making balancing and 100% spell suppression and trickster-es-recharge and mapping-damage with minion-unholy-might cheap, fast and easy and freed up around 20 passive points minimum on the tree. I myself tried out the trickster-ascendancy for it's unique es-recharge as CI. It was great fun for me also when I personally dislike magic find-builds and focus on currency in poe. Poison HoA vs. other minion builds
Spoiler
Again srs was the better uber-bosser and HoA the faster mapper ... _______________  Improvements of the build
Spoiler
New gemqualities, new alternate gems, Ball lightnings of static
Spoiler
The new HoA-quality with 5-7 more virulences adds a lot of damage, especially in early progress before getting medium clusters. The new stormburst-quality stacks much faster the generating of virulences. The new ball lightning of static enables high damage on one link. So high es-leech is possible before getting recovery of other sources: For active es-recovery I added the leech-mastery ethereal feast with lvl 20 ball-lightning of static, lvl 20 tempestshield, lvl 20 storm burst and/or the es-leech support or a sorrow of the divine-flask until you get an graven's secret, aegis aurora and a watcher's eyes with es on hit. After once more testing dozen of new of skills the channelling of ball lightning of static was generating often 80 hHoA-virulences with some castspeed against singletargets also without the golden rule. But for ramping them fast up in half a second the golden rule is still recommended. Ball lightning of static is on lvl 20 also enough damage to use an es-leech-mastery or -support to leech around 700 es / sec when transforming to CI around lvl 70 before getting the watcher`s eye with es on hit. - I added a new cyclone set-up for up to 70 HoA-virulences while moving singletarget with huge aoe of blazing salvo (Thanks to amnesiaCR / lifer0se on poeninjabuilds): cyclone - (awakened) cast while channelling - blazing salvo - returning projectiles support + cursing sniper's mark I published the new Arachnophobia trickster build and pob. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3477280 It`s extreme easy and cheap to gear up and is best tanky against dot, but hard to reach s-tier singletarget-damage. I improved the guidings about sorrow of divine, rational doctrine and brutal restraint, poe-content and favoured maps, cyclone - blazing salvo set-up, and many more. I added a new chapter "The crawler raises - Herald of Agony caught the POE world by storm" telling the paths of progress of the crawler. PoB
Spoiler
The pob's were symplified. The levelling pob-trees were balanced a bit into chance to poison for early bossing. The Guide
Spoiler
I optimized again the order of thematics and spoilers. I added a a chapter about magic find and one to balance spell block / mana of tempestshield as wanted. Many poe-trade-links were better organized and optimized. The category "b.i.s.-upgrades" was added for some more implicits in the tradelinks. I added weblinks to the paintings of the layout in spoiler "informations" https://www.instagram.com/patrick_lemke_play/?hl=de www.patricklemke.com A new Trickster-videoshowcase is published: https://youtu.be/1eCs-z_wMLk Improved chapters lab-runner/ heist with a guide about movementspeed in spoiler poe-content I outsourced the history of the build: updates and last leagues moved to guardian-forum page 474: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3019705/page/474 I reworked especially "skills and trigger", "gear", "tipps for levelling" and many more. I added es-leech setups with tempestshield and ball lightning of static and the leech-mastery ethereal feast to active recover before gearing CI belt and shield I improved the guidings about sorrow of divine, rational doctrine and brutal restraint, dot, poe-content and favoured maps, cyclone - blazing salvo set-up, cremation of volcano, and many more. A spoiler about ranking of all CI recovery-mechanics by investments and effects in "Checklist defences" and in "Fire and other ailments - Recovery and dot" is added. The ranking of the ascendancies was finetuned. Gear
Spoiler
I recommended The ghastly theater shield until getting aegis aurora. Graven`s secret is now default used and almost as strong as mageblood + melding of the flesh. Ashes of the stars is geared instead uul`netools vow amulet with it's high mana-multiplier of the 7th link. So definitive the build is in the best shape ever. Leaderboards and Leaguestart
Spoiler
Congrats to all Arachnophobiatics! Totally awesome climbed into the HoA-Leaderboards into best positions! Great skilled! Also when often jugg and champ were chosen, the top of the board was again dominated by Arachnophilias! I myself climbed rank 2 in the trickster-ascendancy. Hehehehe X-) It was a beautiful leaderboard of Arachnophilia again! With some more very successful Arachnophobiatics! Trading
Spoiler
Overall getting 2-5x more currency with full juicing maps was easy possible also without magic find. And so were the prices in trade 5-10x raised and calculated. X-) Leaguestart was quite cheap, charms, starter skin of the lords and aegis aurora were low priced. I never saw before triad grips with b.i.s. implicits for 1 div (often around 1 mirror were the prices in former leagues before). Arakaali's Fang was extreme cheap, the squire shield at 5% of prices in former leagues. But after a month, the best Skin of the Lord`s (2 raising up to 50 div), that which was taken jewels (1 climbing up to 250 div), watcher's eyes (1 div flying up to 150 div) skyrocketed. Large spellblockclusters were 2-4 div (in former leagues often 1 div). But overall the build was again much cheaper as other tanky builds like the es-, armour- or aurastackers. For myself I sniped some b.i.s. stuff again: Popularity of the build
Spoiler
In [3.23] in the pathfinder and necro-forum the build was great rank 2 in views again like in last league and in the guardian forum rank 1. Poebuilds.cc recommended again the Arachnophobia and Arachnophilia Allstars in both the ascendancies guardian and necro and both as budgetstarter as well as higher budget in variations. GhazzyTV again mentioned and adviced to the HoA-Allstars-builds in his streams. Thank you Ghazzy! Arachnophilia! PoE-Veteran Luetjeminze tried out some bow-builds in leaguestart. But beeing not convinced in their tankyness and qol in endgame he continued again with an loud "Arachnophilia forever!" and maxed out the HoA build one more time again. But: overall in the dominating 95% srs-meta not many, but much more CI Arachnophilias as in former leagues stinged the woods. _______________ Outlook: 3.24, Champion, Jugg and more
Spoiler
Perhaps I optimize the jugg or the champ next league for Herald of Agony. Probably without CI. Last Epoch In Last Epoch I had fun rolling as a Primalist, Totems & Druid Forms with the best Palladino Luetjeminze after trying out already the alpha before some years. Already in early access it's an interesting game with much fun about skills and crafting, but miss much mechanics in endgame. More Are there plans beside for serious Titan Quest or Grim Dawn Expansion, a new Sacred or follower of Dungeon Siege 1/2 already leaked - hehehehe? And MMXI awaits us soooon? Yeaah! After all again I am focussing on the news of PoE [3.24] - and am quite sure Poe II will be the upcoming meta for bitches, gourmets and maniacs like us in the whole Arpg-genre after PoE I.

The Mindless Aggression Ascendancy Passive Skill no longer causes Minions to have 10% increased Movement Speed, 10% increased Attack Speed, 10% increased Cast Speed, or causes them to deal 30% increased Damage. Instead, it now causes them to deal 10% more Damage, and have 20% more Maximum Life.
The Bone Barrier Ascendancy Passive Skill no longer Grants Level 20 Bone Armour Skill, and no longer provides "2% increased Recovery Rate of Life and Energy Shield per Minion, up to 20%" or "Minions have 20% more Maximum Life". Instead, it now provides "Minions have 40% of Life added as Extra Energy Shield" and "1% of Damage Dealt by your Minions is Leeched to you as Life". The Unholy Might buff no longer grants 30% of Physical Damage as extra Chaos Damage. It instead now provides 100% of Physical Damage Converted to Chaos Damage, and 25% chance to Apply Wither on Hit. (we can use another gloves) i think this is a really huge buff, and i very interest to give a try to this build. |

" Yes, in early and in midgame it will be a nice buff. The withers are very effective in this build. And with a leech-mastery 10% of the the minion-leech is instant, that is one more layer of op-imba-tankyness: The crawler attacks full wide screen, 6x each second, and is immortal. All time up in all damage peaks. Around 30 k of 30M damage i.e. es / sec will be instant leeched, of course capped, around 600-1200 es /sec will be continuous leeched. That is probably enough to switch out the belt graven's secret (with darkness enthroned equal to the effect of 4 ghastly jewels or choose instead the weapon slot flexible or use simply the mageblood), perhaps to switch aegis aurora also too. Wooow, thanks [3.24], that's a match. With the mod unaffected by poison / unaffected by damaging ailments on the boots in a hybrid life/es set-up it will be probably possible too or with the keystone ghost reaver as CI. On top tattoos are back and so the build gets 3 to 5 free passive-points, more es and bleeding immunity are possible too. Tattoos of the Tawhoa Shaman for chance to poison will be used. In lategame probably vixens entrapements gloves will be geared to switch whispers of doom into the +1 chaos mastery corruption. So 60M damage will be reached b.i.s. -geared. Some more withers will be out, and when wanted the very interesting gloves-slot is flexible to choose. Perhaps the combination with phantasms or skeleton archers will be interesting. Melding of the flesh and the new sapphire flask will reach easy 84-89% allresis when you focus on tankyness. The HoA-pathfinder will be on almost the same damage-level as the HoA-necro with 100% flask-uptime also with graven's secret tanky belt, 30M to 50M.

i have a problem when i export the pob, in the gem section; the herald of agony have a 10 gems link in, whats are better to do the campaing, in order of importance

" Use the activated / checked supports, not the deactivated / unchecked alternatives. Use in maps pierce instead the singletarget-awakened void manipulation. Because the socketcolours of skin of the lords cannot be modified, the valuable variation-supports are greyed out shown too. Editado por útlima vez por Chromino#4813 en 24 mar. 2024 6:12:06

I am interested in this build for 3.24 but when I check poe ninja builds there are only a few necromancers that play with herald of agony and the highest is lvl99. What am I missing?
You don’t stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.

what is budget for league starter?
|
|
" Hard to rate. I guess the meta-srs was better as u-bosser, but risky to loose the animate guardian against sirus etc... The HoA is better as mapper in my experiences and uses only immortal minions. This build is much more designed as tank (1.5M ehp in maps as CI with aegis aurora compared to 300k of life-based SRS). CI and stacking auras and clusters is a bit more difficult as the simple srs and more expensive in the first days of league, but much cheaper as the more popular metas of course. Lvl 100 is reached and easy to sololevel too with the build when a tanky belt like graven's secret etc. is chosen. Editado por útlima vez por Chromino#4813 en 26 mar. 2024 9:07:57
