Hi, never done HoAg before and fairly new to minions generally. I want to play something that is tanky, can be easy to league start, and eventually pushed to 4 stones (something I’ve not gotten yet, only ever 2-3 stones). I’d love to really see end game, and I really hate dying too often.

Is this build capable of the above? Others I’m considering are KF Totem Heiro, golemancer, HRoC necro, and maybe a tanky melee with the foulborn ghost writhe shenanigans. Your help and tips are appreciated.

All content easy done. 6M dps at lvl 80 with cheapest gear 50 c, 25M with around 8 div. Much cheaper as most other builds and scaled with clusters. Variations possible on each gearslot in leaguestarts, more damage-scalings (4 curses, increased wither-effects, charges, etc.) possible for easiest full voidstones.

But HoA is not the typical and perfect racer. When you focus on voidstones in under 5 hours HoA is a bit slower crawling and you need good poe-experiences for the balancings.

Awesome work with these build guides!

Can't decide to league start as a guardian or necro.

I feel like the guardian will have a advantage early and since I'll be playing guild found (aka SSF with 6 friends). But the top end of necro is juice.

Will have to play around in PoB until the start of the league.

Again awesome work!

Thank you a lot NeiToN!

Point me in the right direction of where to focus/go next.

right now can only run determination + herald due to not enough reservation. Damage seems good, just absolute shit survivability atm... What would be best to focus towards? Trying to head the 80-100 leveling build

Hey Lawbringer,

your cheapest next upgrades before the b.i.s.-pieces are:

+ a starter-amulet anoint (death attunement, practical application or suppression)
+ better flasks, 50% instant rare life-flasks + Rumi's Concoction
+ a shaper ring life on spellhits
+ a watcher's eye es on hit discipline-mod

Then further your chaos-resis are negative, squeeze in some more.

Awesome, I'll work towards that. One question. What spectres are you using? What are you doing for animate guardian, anything specific? Sorry maybe I missed in the main thread where this was discussed, if so let me know.

Also I got a 4g 1r 1b skin of the lords, whats a good 4th green to replace predator with?

Leaguestart-HoA

I recorded two examples:

Leaguestart into 3.28 Mirage, Red Maps, T13, Moon Temple, as HoAg-Trickster

Herald of Agony is gem-lvl 18, quality 0.



Complete Budget: 50 chaos (mainly spectres):

Complete Budget: 1 div + 50 chaos (mainly aegis aurora, spectres)

https://youtu.be/4ehoqy7Mb_0

me, opens medium budget : alot of jewels with price like 130 div each
me then opens "low budget" version from ur link: still Voices (each 130 div) and im not checking other stuff....
bro, i dont think your evaluating stuff is up to date. Sadly. Its hella misleading. Those are VERY expensive budgets, not "medium" or even "low"

Hello

Actually I'm using Storm Brand + Unleash + Ball Lightning of Orbiting + Storm Brand, I reach maximum virulence : 40, but when I use Cyclone + Cast while Channeling + Ball Lightning of Orbiting and Tornado of Elmental Turbulence, I hardly reach 20 virulences, also I have only 56% chance to hit, what am I missing ?

What??

Take simply the cheaper budget "750M"-pob when you want your HoA-dps above the 500M until prices for voices drop.

In the "Medium"-pob voices were last league around 40 divs for the voices, so you can swap simply some passives before getting better ones.

This league has high inflations again, many prices are higher as in the former 2 leagues as far as I see.
Also this league simulacrums are less farmed and tradings for div/chaos currency-metas are changing fast in these days, so prices are still higher as average, yes ... but will probably drop soon. I update the prices every few weeks or every few months (but not every few days....). When they do not drop like in all former leagues, I correct them, sorry. But especially in leaguestart they vary often every few hours.
As result in the moment I focus more on all the fine new HoA-supports and mirage-mechanics and the new W.I.P. 7000M-pob instead updating trade-prices every day.
So thanks for reporting.

The build and pob can use easy until 400M damage instead #5- / #7-p-voices, 1-110 chaos, not #3-p-voices:

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/opVRjLeKhl

Simply balance out/regret the pasives of "corruption" or "fearsome force" and lower ele-resis to 87% with one jewel less, and you reach easy more than 400M in the lower budgets and cheaper voices again too.

Or alternatively swap in "fearsome force" and "steeped into profane" like guided and exchange a whole cluster-sector out, that way also 420M are dealed...

Or add some skill-efficiency to selfcast one aura more, and then raise the Gilded Arach-spectre in Hunter-maps instead for balancing into around 75M additional dps.

There are more possibilities further. When you have a bit experience with the HoA-scaling, you can rebalance always easy, flexible, fast and really cheap. So please first read and ask before posting from that perspective toxic bs next time.


You can constructive be involved and update the following list daily or as often as you like and have the free-time and I link your updates in the build, thank you.

You miss the mandatory chaos/phys-damage-component needed for pure elemental spells to poison.

Swap circle of ambition to circle of nostalgia, use chance to poison-support, or get it on helmet`s exarch eldritch implicit.
