How are you hitting crit cap? I'm topping out at like 70-80% crit without bottled faith.

Yup!

Not all of your crit chance is accounted for in the tooltip, Assassin's Mark and Animate Guardian's Brittle ground boots aren't included in tooltip numbers. Including Assassin's Mark and Power Charges your PoB is showing ~83% crit chance without enemies standing on Brittle ground, swapping to a 50-55% crit chance flask suffix bumps that to ~89%.

Your claw is also missing a % crit chance suffix, even a crafted tier of % increased crit chance would bump you up by +14-16% crit chance in your PoB to approach crit cap.

That said, while enemies are standing on Brittle Ground you should already be roughly hitting crit cap, but you could invest into the above options to make it more consistent. (for some reason Brittle ground isn't feeling quite as consistent this league)

Wanted to share my POB to help further our build.
I did not invent this tech, but abusing a massive thread of hope combined with timeless jewel I'm able to grab +80% minion damage from my brutal restraint in the Templar Area on relevant nodes.

I abused the same location last league with elegant hubris getting 240% increased minion damage, but wanted to try something different this time around.

Yoke of suffer with scorch boots on animate guardian and Perfect Primal Demiurge for sap could be very strong.

Looks like a solid variation for sure!

I had originally written off both Marshal of Divinity and accuracy investment to drop Hits can't be Evaded on wep as being noncompetitive, but glad to see the numbers can work!

Ashes or Yoke are definitely solid offensive options, especially going resistance shredding route w/ chill/ignite/shock/scorch rather than Inevitable Judgement or Unholy Trinity for res ignore. Also helps going for accuracy investment like in your version since we would need less excess reses on gear to make up for Bonemeld's -res per allied minion modifier, albeit at the cost of passive global defences; makes sense you went hybrid to capitalize more on the Thread of Hope life nodes and didn't need as much for your ES pool.

I'm coming around a little more to Marshal's 80% phys as extra lightning as an Inevitable Judgement replacement, particularly for the Unholy Trinity variation that wants phys/lightning/chaos or a version using Invert the Rules.

The Thread of Hope can definitely still be solid value even without the three life nodes allocated, would need to cut a few cluster points to fit it in while pathing to CI for pure ES, but could be worth it. This league at the top-end though it can feel a little less strong losing 13% minion dmg + 8% aps small nodes to pick up 20% inc minion dmg notables.

All-in-all some neat changes that are definitely worth trying out!

Edit: hope you don't mind, added a quote to your PoB link as a variant in the guide for other people to check out! Wouldn't want it to get lost in the replies.

I guess with Congregation support you have 5 spectres? Which 5 are you using? Can you also update main post with that information?

I'm mostly asking because this is my first minion build ( while it isn't strictly minion build, minions, spectres and animate guardian are huge part of this build ) and I'm still pretty lost in how to maximize them. For example, I've been completely ignoring the fact that one notable passive skill increases my spectre limit by 1 and I was wondering for a week how you have 4 of them while I can have only 2 without lvl 25 spectre gem 😂.

Thanks for reminding me! Been meaning to update that.

Currently with 5 spectres I'm running Blasphemer, Perfect Judgemental Spirit, Perfect Forest Tiger (Carnage Chieftain at low budget), Spectral Leader, and Perfect Forest Warrior. (in order of importance, drop either Forest Warrior or Spectral Leader w/o Congregation)

Would anyone be willing to do a PoB review for me. Feeling a bit stuck on where to go next. I know the build has a lot more juice.

How do you craft the gloves in your PoB once they're fractured?

Also you took out the PoB with the corded belt, are you recommending going for the stygian with the new mod instead now?

Where are you getting Endurance charges from. I feel like Im missing something super obvious

There are a few options; Mob Mentality on Megalo, body armour implicit (would take 5th EC w/ its duration node for % inc EC duration for 10-11s gen uptime), Perfect Warlord, and earlier in league Aggressive Bastion for on-kill while mapping.

Thanks for catching that though, with the Guide version of the PoB it's currently missing Mob Mentality or chest mod. Forgot to update the current PoB config since it originally had Mob Mentality earlier. I fixed my mana with phys mana leech using Prismatic + Ring, but otherwise getting Mob Mentality + Fuel the Fight on your Megalo should be ideal.

Since we already have a source of Culling from Kingmaker if you get another source of Onslaught (e.g. Onslaught on Hit synthesized Bone Ring or a Silver flask, especially going MB) then dropping Perfect Forest Warrior for Perfect Warlord would be a solid swap for easy EC generation!

There are a couple options for the gloves:

• Deafening Essence of Fear for % minion damage until good enough prefixes, then Prefixes cannot be Changed -> Speed Reforge on Harvest bench for attack speed suffix and craft 3rd
• Deafening Essence of Zeal for T0 suffix attack speed until you hit a 3rd good suffix then Bristle Matron for Suffixes cannot be Changed -> Reforge Defence on Harvest bench until good AR/ES prefixes and an open modifier for crafted % minion damage (could also Eldritch Chaos spam with Exarch dominant at this step)

Corded is still definitely a solid option! It can save a good number of points but for QoL I stuck to manually allocating the Tribal Fury wheel to get +0.6m strike range for longer range clear, the stygian jewel effect mod made the comparison less one-sided for Corded vs Styg. (it's not even implemented properly in PoB yet but a GG jewel can go from ~5% more -> 9% more dmg)

A synthesized Corded still theoretically beats out a rare jewel Stygian by a large margin, but with Vivid Vulture prices to reroll your own it's currently not really worth the effort in my opinion.

Looking good so far! The main things I'm seeing:

• Minion attack speed is a BIG stat with Spiritual Command, ideally you'd aim for 3% minion attack speed w/ 35% inc effect on your large cluster(s) to ramp up even higher attack speed
• Megalomaniac for leech + 2nd large minion cluster; getting Fuel the Fight or Daring Ideas + Mob Mentality on a Megalo would help fit in a 2nd minion dmg cluster to help scaling
• Inevitable Judgement Forbidden jewels, it looks like Inevitable Judgement would be ~57% more DPS for your build. That said, they are very expensive now at around 70d for a set, so it's completely understandable to avoid that upgrade. You may want to take a look at tinkproject's hybrid life/ES PoB for some ideas for res shredding w/o Inevitable Judgement!
