[3.0] Abberath's Herald Of Destruction - Autobombing Wraeclast
 Welcome to my Herald Autobomber guide. After uploading a couple of videos a lot of people asked questions, so I figured I'd write a guide for those interesed. First of all, credit where credit is due. Shoutout to Aimmboat from whom I got the idea. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1797843 The build focuses on high clearspeed while maintaining a lazy playstyle. It cannot kill any guardians or shaper - it's used for high speed farming mid tier maps to generate currency (and having tons of fun blowing shit up while doing it). Highlights * Triggers Herald of Ice & Herald of Thunder with Abberath's Hooves * Permanent Phase Run & Quicksilver * Vaal RF for bosses * Around 5k life & 1.5k ES * Can use Bisco's Collar & Leash * Instant Leech PoB Link good gear

 Pros & Cons
Spoiler
Pros
* It's super fun to blow stuff up with heralds :) * Very fast map clear * Lazy gameplay * This is you and your friends
Spoiler
 Cons * Boss damage is meh at best after a certain tier (up to 10 is fine for me) * Needs Abberath's Hooves (90c as of writing this) * Gets kinda expensive once you want to scale it past mid tier maps Required Uniques
Spoiler
With this chests your heralds will always reserve 45% mana no matter the links. The +2 to HoT is also nice! With this we start our explosion chains. It's damage should not be underestimated either. Also, it's one of the best leveling uniques imho. Recommend Uniques & Rares
Spoiler
Best in slot, no questions asked. Gives us another 6 link, has nice stats and the Herald it summons spreads our ailments. High elemental damage, global crit, elemental leech, get 2 of these bad boys asap. Provides a more reliable way to trigger Herald of Thunder with Herald of Ice. It's also super cheap this league. Gloves with a horror craft allow Vaal RF to reach crit cap. Current gear in Harbinger league

what about lvling tips?
gems or skill trea at 50/70 points? would be nice <3 | |

This looks very interesting. I play in standard and don't have access to the helmet. What helmet should I use and what is the ideal standard gear that could really push this build to the limits?

" Prioritize power charges, while grabbing life nodes left and right as you need them. * Level to 12 * Equip Abberath's with Added Cold / Added Lightning / Controlled Destruction / whatever you fancy * Start running hit level 18 * Equip Herald of Ice and Thunder with Added Cold / Added Lightning / Crit Strikes * Run some more * Do normal lab asap for power charges * run run run * Do cruel lab for base crit * At this point it's just more running until you're at maps :) " Check out the PoB Link at the top of the post for chase gear. If you cannot get your hands on a Tempest's Binding your best bet would be an Essence of Horror crafted helmet. Last edited by shukolade on Aug 16, 2017, 10:21:22 AM

Do you think there is a way to push this build beyond mid-tier maps?

" I'm doing t13 maps no problem, anything past that I don't know, sorry. | |

Is the pantheon the only way to protect ourselves from reflect? You get chunked pretty hard in the beach video I believe.
With good gear, how much HP do you expect? (sorry I cant access pob right now, only on mac). Track your map runs: http://pathofmaps.com (retired)
