Ok, so i'm trying your build but i have some questions
- you mention spell cascade should be lvl 1 but on your "gear used" it's lvl 20. which one it should be?
- is mind over matter node necessary? since we have almost all mana reserved?
- blood magic support for specters is only so that we can summon them on the go?
- does it matter if the arakaali is linked or not?
- i'm thinking of using speaker's wreath helm to auto summon spiders, at least for clearing. could that be viable or is the benefit from feast of flesh to big?

Please don't take the questions as criticism, i'm just a noob trying to figure things out.

Thanks.

I'm always happy to answer questions don't worry.

1. lvl 1 or 20 doesn't matter, I just leveled it without even thinking.
2. Using Devouring Diadem gives us Eldritch Battery which makes our ES protect our Mana which means our ES acts as Mana for the purpose of Mind over Matter, so having 99% of our mana reserved doesn't matter.
3. Blood Magic is so the gorillas will spam their frenzy ability as often as they can.
4. Doesn't need to be linked no.
5. This build is geared towards clearing all content, but especially bosses for players who are struggling to do them. You need Devouring Diadem to be tanky enough to do bosses and maps with bad mods so I do not recommend Speaker's Wreath at all. Speaker's Wreath is entirely unnecessary because summoning Spiders is not hard so why waste a slot making it slightly easier? Yes summoning Spiders can be annoying but it's a small price to pay for being as tanky as the build is, which is important if you want to clear the endgame. If you want faster clearing use an offhand scepter with minion damage mods and then have a shield for bossing.

And yes, Feast of Flesh IS that good, I can't count the number of times it's saved me, it's very very strong.

Hey, thanks for clarifying, i appreciate it.
Your build has some interesting mechanics that tie into the gear. I'll try to copy it as close as possible from now.

Summoning with writhing jar is not that bad, I got used to it, just thought i could bypass it :)

Have you tried hall of grandmasters with this build?

I can Raise Spiders with a cast of Shield Charge.

I'd use Awakened Melee Phys, Multistrike is barely better and costs waaay more.

Wouldn't multistrike feel better since the spider damage has a ramp-up time? I tried it out on PoB and it seemed like quite a bit of a damage boost no?
Also do you think you could fit an explodey-chest? is the map smoothness and not having to switch from splash to melee damage/multistrike worth it? Especially with the Spiritual Aid node that makes the explode damage be based off your minion damage.

Loving the build so far though!

Got myself Socketed Gems are supported by level 20 Fortify and Grants Aspect of The Spider on self-crafted Boots.

Give a try to Superior Summon Holy Relic.



Bane, Temporal Chains discarded.

After all custom changes I have ended up with unused slots.

Awakened Multistrike is 20k/per Spider higher DPS but it costs 23ex more, if you really wanna spend that much go ahead, it is slightly better. You have to keep in mind with Awakened Melee Phys you also get Intimidate on hit which is 10% more attack damage which makes up most of the difference with Multistrike.
