[3.28] The dirty Scorpion-Tail|Herald of Agony Cyclone-Necro|Arachnophobia Allstars|240m to 7000m

Thanks a lot for the answer :)
Hello

I have issues with stun locks while I use Cyclone, did they replace 'Awakened Cast while Channeling' for another gem ?

I plan to buy a cheap 'Watcher's Eye' for the 'Energy Shield per Enemy Hit while affected by Discipline' bonus because I lack of defences, this build is new for me, it's a bit hard to see what's the best to do at the moment.

Hard to get Chaos resistance on stuff, I have -1%

I lost my spectres (Perf Turtle, Pain Artist, Judgement Spirit) when crafting a ring for +chaos res, there was Dex/Str bonuses on it, is there a way to bring them back or not lost them the next time ?

Yes, aw cwc lvl 4 against stuns is missing, but we still have:

50% less stuns are procced from our energyshield.
50% block recovery is pathed in arcane guarding.


I myself added also some cws-djinn-supports.


When it's bothering much, swap the major Pantheon to the Brine King.

Chaos-resis are ordinary no bigger issue, with the golden rule and unaffected by poison 40+50% were always enough for me. But negative chaos-resis are much too squishy. You have no chaos- and poison-immunities? Start with an Amethyst-flask instead the second Granite-flask.
Later get chaos-resis on circle of nostalgia and a few on the rare gear and cluster-Transfers.

I use in these days also cyclone-excommunicate (5-20 chaos), so you get in melee-range the CI-keystone free, it`s extreme tanky in chaos-content.

Yes, the spectres need some training:

To craft and benchcraft take out the skillgem in your inventory, so their corpses drop in your hideout. Resummon them after crafting.

For gearswaps go to a campaign act-town, there the spectres cannot be lost.
But of course check attr- and minin-gem-requirements.

There are 2 hard challenges in poe-endgame. The U-exarch's 1000 suns and not loosing the spectres in the hideout. ;-)
Hehe, probably we all lose them 1-2x times each league. Less than 3x times loosing spectres in hideout should be rewarded with a golden League-achievement by ggg.

I forgot again to disable the key in a map and raised some random skeletons instead on the battlefield.


Watcher`s eye is one of the most important pieces of the whole gear, and their prices are already sinking fast.

So I've I've got a bit better gear.

I can honestly say its one of the funnest builds I have done in ages. Need to get Melding of the Flesh going, but having some difficulty finding +2max cold res + res + efficiency jewels. But overall I think I'm doing around 50m dps using your config.

Absolutely just melting stuff. Have spectres setup, and AG w/ kingslayer etc. Build is awesome and ton of fun.
Thanks again for the advices

I kept Brine King, in fact I was both stunned and freezed, now it works fine

CWS + Void Sphere + Arcanist Brand looks good, but I haven't yet free sockets to make this setup

No I use the Amethyst Flask, it seems to work better especially in the Rituals but I still die to the rotating white beam

I don't have poison immunity and I don't understand how Golden Rule works as I have 140% bleed avoidance

Sorry I don't understand what you mean about CI ? Should I take Chaos Innoculation ?
You use Excommunicate support, so what support should I remove ? I use Predator + Damage on Full Life + Minion Damage + Void Manipulation + Vicious Projectiles with HoA actually

For Spectres they should have done like for the Animated Guardian :)
'Your Perfect Guardian Turtle has been replaced by a skeleton !' Arghhhh my god !

I put Watcher's Eye +27 ES on hit, I have Evade 50%, 57% phys reduction, 73% spell supp, res 75/80/75, Chaos -1%, 38/35% Block/Spell block, 2k hp and 3.3 k ES but I'm still squishy in maps, I really don't know what to do
You need to get your spell suppression chance to 100%. I was at 99% and kept getting smacked. Once I hit 100%, my survivability sky rocketed.

I have 61% phys damage reduction, 41% chance to evade, 100% spell suppression chance, and maxed resist. 38% block attack, 53% block spell... and I feel practically invincible, need to get it up a bit more as occasionally I'll take a couple big hits back to back.
Ok I will try, but not easy atm, thanks :)

Has my recent items/jewels/build. You can see its not on par w/ the main build... But its not too expensive and I'm doing insane damage.

I'd suggest get your spectres and AG setup asap, that made a MASSIVE difference in survivability for me too.

"Unaffected by poison" is needed on rare boots. In high density hundreds of poison are reflected on you by the golden rule and cause suicide.


Cyclone + Imbued excommunicate (the mirage-support lvl 1) debuff enemies after melee hit with cyclone so they cannot deal any chaos-damage. That is somehow similar to CI in melee range. It's interesting to use as budget-chaos-resis-solution on cyclone before getting more expensive Cyclone + Imbued Infused channeling.

I take a closer look in your pob later.

It's encouraging to be helped, thanks to you and thanks to Chromino :)

So now I'm conviced I can reach a very good dps for chea :) All I need is to be strong enough to farm Rituels, maybe it's not the best strat but last league it was wonderfull

I reached 100% spell suppression yesterday and I have noticed the big difference in survability, but I still die while inside huge packs of monsters and don't know why, maybe koz of poison or I cannot leech from them because they have block chance... no idea

For spectres I have Perfect Guardian Turtle / Judgement Spirit and Pain Artist
AG with Ephemeral / Kingmaker / Windscream / Asenath and Leer Cast
My setup was AG + Spectres + Chaos Golem of the Maelstrom + Feeding Frenzy
I swapped Feeding Frenzy for Minion Life koz they die often even I spam the Bubbling divine flask of the Necromancer, they are more tanky but the AG still die then I lose spectres and I'm almost naked against the monsters :( It's a pain
