Sorry I am having big troubles trying to understand the poison chance.
Is this right that campaign and early mapping we are self casting? For example I have poisonous concoction, HoA, and Ball Lightning of Orbiting.
Concoction in UI shows poison chance 85%.

But HoA only 45%.
I have 2 jewels that in total give 32% chance for my HoA minion to poison.
So what am I looking for? Am I looking for 100% HoA minion poison chance in POB?
When do I get rid of self casting poisonous concoction? Right now castinf almost Ball/Brand and run.

Do I need 100% poison chance from hand when I go to maps? Do I need 100% poison chance on my HoA minion? Any way to see his poison chance ingame, not in PoB?

Maybe a stupid question, but what's the chain of skills I use in mapping? Just run - Ball of orbiting/Brand and minion deals with everything?


The build uses:

■ 80%-100% "chance to poison on hit" and "chance to poison with your spells on hit" for your own skills and spells: that is the mandatory key-mechanic to generate HoA-virulences

Poisonous concocoction or Cobra lash with their chance to poison are used while levelling and are swapped out around lvl 40-75 for other skills.

■ "minion chance to poison on hit" on ghastly jewels, which is instead binded to the game-tag "minions" and is far less important.


The poison for yourself and the poison for minions are in depth guided in the spoiler "Herald of Agony step by step".

The levelling-progress is guided in "Beginning and Levelling".

Iam using the normal cyclone/cast when channeling/ball Lightning of orbeting combo and spin too win arround in maps with so auto triggered ball lightnings.

That is really easy and chill
So Got a 6+ skin of loyal last night, and a couple other small changes. REALLY feel like I am absolutely destroying everything. POB says I am sitting around 88m DPS using your config.

https://pobb.in/h1BKkk7U (ignore profile name, just imported my gear/passives)

Check it out and let me know what you'd think next? I know I need to get some better voices, and max cold res gems. Really stuck finding boots w/ lower str req that have res + ms + unaffected.

REALLY feel like I am absolutely destroying content though. Running insanely juiced maps without much of an issues, except when my AG dies.

Looks awesome! Congrats!

With greater fork switched to a HoA-singletarget-support you are already above 150M dps.

Yes, companions become in some content squishy, but eg against Ubers they remain undying. You can add something like life on hit etc. and imbued djinn-supports to them. And exarch-embers for the helmet add some minion-life too.

In for AG and golem rippy content I often add a frost shield in non-chaos-content and/or bone offering, then they turn also there almost immortal.

Eg in the cwc set up with an imbued-cwc gem which triggers 3 skills:



But the build gets almost immortal without them too and it`s no problem when they die sometimes...

Probably your next upgrade is the mageblood 2 or 3 permament flasks, 40 / 70 div, for movementspeed and +max-cold-resis. That would help also about str and can add a bit tanky phys max hit taken.
Or also the Progenesis-flask adds a lot tankyness (79 div).

Your boots are strong, will be hard to find or craft better ones, hehe.

Bone barrier should add tankyness with leech and 1 passive for the life-mastery. When you prefer to keep plaguebringer, regret 1 passive ghost reaver.

Dont know what you all find so expensive on this build?
The most stuff is in 1-20 Chaos range and really easy too reach for no-pro player like me.

with my 3 good mods watchers eye together iam now on only 15 Div budget and have the most allready going with all 4 aura spectres and full geared AG.
Many other builds dont work with so low investments.


when you only want too buy direct only the perfect gear pierces without crafting, every build is much more expensive than normal.



Yes, exactly.
The build remain until 500M extremely cheap. And because not only the gear, but also the ghastly jewels and the clustertransfers are flexible useable to cap suffixes etc., you always find a very cheap upgrade.
Also because 100-150M dps are often reached very soon around lvl 90-95, you can balance so much capacities flexible into all missing stats too. Also the prefixes armour, es, life are braindead flexible to build in.

For new poe-gamers all the mechanics and prefixes/suffixes can look complex, but on the other side stacking medium clusters pure agony, spell suppression and resis is quite simple and straight. Each league there are some Arachnophobiatics who level up their first lvl 100-char with the Allstars.


Hope the Arachnophobiatics take a look into the "checklists stats", ordinary there they find always a fast solution for their needed stat.



Thank you Azuralia.

I've been looking into POB version lvl80-100 and I don't understand one thing.

We are using auras - Grace, Tempest Shield/Flesh and Stone, HOA.
For the spectres we outsource - Determination/Discipline etc.

Then why in the items we have 2 clusters - "Discipline has 80% inc reserved eff" and "Determination has 50% inc reserved eff".
Does it somehow let our spectres use all those auras?
This part is very confusing, because I've got those jewels and now it seems to me it doesn't make sense. I've read the 1st and 100th page and it didn't find this part. I see that everywhere you suggested to outsource Discipline to spectre

What's the best combination for the low budget?
Right now I can fit Grace+Tempest Shield+Flesh and Stone + HOA into the character.
I was planning to outsource Discipline+Determination + something else depending on watchers' eye. But everything so easy speaking about 4 auras spectres, what else x2 do people fit?

In the former leagues spectre-corpses were more expensive as this league.

So I used in the levelling-trees the small clusters for the auras instead the more expensive spectres.

This league the corpses for spectres are so cheap so that it`s better to start directly with the spectres and you should use only 2 small clusters "sublime form" for grace.

Recommended: With 150 div you can easy use a 3-flask mageblood for more continuous movementspeed and, easy bleeding-immunities and easy resis on the mageblood-flasks.
(And for 15-30 divs also add the additional second curse on the amulet-imolicit of ashes and switch rare gloves in instead vixen's.)
Do not forget, 70M are more than enough for all other poe-content. Maxing some defences before pure dps is more fun.

https://pobb.in/3bdCXXcq


This is not a pob i did asked (to fit 150 DIV budget) , it is the same pob which have all variations included. I asked a simple pob to fit 150 DIV budget straight and simple if possible. This pob again used 2 jewels socketed in the belt which does not exist on market( i purchased 2 ghastly jewels 10 all res and 15% pois chance to minions 7 DIV each... no dex no strength no corrupted blod immunity, just for you to understand many of us are not crafters). I have no clue about crafting and for sure i can not learn about that fast enough just to follow a build. I buy items and that is it. It is so hard for you being a pro to provide a pob with exact items to fit 150-200 DIV budget according actual market and without us being forced to read 10 pages of explanations? Also the Configuration section to reflect the actual build not the mirror tier variation.....Thank you.

What?
The used configurations are 3-4 divs. Spectres 150 chaos, AG 2-3 div.
What do you fantasize mirrors?

About jewels, as I already wrote I got mine, not b.i.s. but totally okay, for 10-100 chaos each.
There were many b.i.s. ones for 1 div in trade also - when you learned in the game to flexible place your needed suffixes on different slots.

When you want b.i.s. on each stat for your satisfication, it's of course more expensive, so I recommended to you mageblood, 2-3 flasks, 40/70 div instead in your 150 div-budget, it simplefies the jewels and balance the suffixes on the belt and flasks.

I did respectfully showed you also the 2 spoilers about budget already last post, I do not do that a second time.


Eg your searched stat 'resistances': when you do not get enough resis on gear you get them instead on the clustertransfers or on the jewels or on the anoint or on the passive-tree or on the tattoos or with mageblood on the flasks also.
Go to spoiler --> "checklist stats", there to the spoiler --> "resis" for all recommendations and guidings.



You need:

+270 3x90% max-resis
+180 kitava's debuffs
+210 melding of the flesh-jewel
_______

660% resis


Prioritize resistances on:

□ aegis aurora (+30)
□ rare helmet (+45-150)
□ boots (+45-150)
□ on rare shaper ring (+40-120)
□ 1-3x sublime form clusters (+30-90)

□ all clusterjewel's transferpoint:
+ on 3-6 small clusters each 2x transfers = 6-12x transferpassives x +20 up to +37 (120-440)
+ on 5-12 medium clusters each 1x +10 to +19 (50-208)
+ on 0-3 large clusters 1×, +5 to +9 (0-27)
________

in total on all clustertransfers: +150-650 resis

□ on 1-10 resis-tattoos (+6-60)
□ can be squeezed in: 1x circle of ambitions (+50)
□ 1-6 rare ghastly-jewels, also doubled in the darkness enthroned-belt (+30-180)
□ on 1-3 rare +2 max cold-resis jewel (+16-72)
□ "survivalist", 2 passives evasion mastery (+36)
□ banditreward Alira (+45)
□ often some league-mechanics
_____________

450-750 resis


Use the harvestcraft-bench to change eg. overcapped cold-resis into fire- or lightning-resis on clusters and rare gear.

15-60% overcapped resistances on top are tanky against resi-reduction-effects, altar-mods, scorch and elemental curses:

□ to overcap cold-resis: rare sapphire flask / or taste of hate (+40)
□ to overcap all resis: flask-suffix of the rainbow (+60)

With mageblood 100% uptime:

□ sapphire-flask (+76)
□ flask-suffix of the rainbow (+60-100)
□ bismuth-flask (+200)



PoE is build around this effective and flexible varying suffixes when you want to optimize your set-up, and in this build also varying so easy and cheap the prefixes, on all slots. Without varying it works to, but then you get some M dps less or need a higher budget.

So it's a big part of the fun in the game to use your brain, this kind of char-building is one reason why it is fun for thousands of hours and outstanding to other short-living arpg's. To very new players this is often complex too, but you find all answers to your questions guided in the "checklists stats"-spoiler.

That for the build is designed to help and guide varying your set-up in all different levels and budgets. Use it.



Sorry, of course you should read the build when you want to use it.
When you don't have the time for reading why should I find for you my time to explain simple balancing of suffixes like resis or your budget to you? When you also fantasize a budget of 3 divs of spectres and AG to mirrors instead?

You seriously ask me to design for you an individual pob? Because you have no time to read the build? Really? As I answered already last time: take the default tank-pob + 3 permanent flasks-mageblood, that fits best in your 150 div budget, but you will need only around 120-130 div in total.
