Witch seems best ascendency, but bottom and left half of the tree are close to blood magic. Using Malachi’s helmet for blood magic seems bad. Blood magic on the tree seems the only way it’s worth.

Rf elementalist for 2 stones then transition seems ideal for campaign. Don’t forget you can respec with gold in 3.27 so a day 1-2 swap is far far less punishing.

Swap once you have some cluster jewels and a few other pieces will probably be much smoother


Yes, to head into the "Farewell to Flesh" I guess Jugg or Glad are probably best. Ordinary you take without mana as result slso the lone messenger, then go without auras or place them on spectres.

But also full buffed spectres will die in t-17 and ultimatums.
And in Legacy of Phrecia HoA without auras was more for Ubers and not optimal for T-17.

But the "Bitter Heresy" alone is already huge op damage and everything else after will be trivial again. 500M to 800M in cheap gear is already wild.

With Farewell to Flesh 2.5B up to 3B should be possible, that's attractive to for some special moments.

But for mapping exchanging bodyarmour and helmet is much, I do not enjoy to much focus only in high dps.

I myself prefer always the tanks.

Hehe!



For Ultimatums which one has been your favorite ascendancy? I also always prefer the tanks!




For Ultimatums all ascendancies fit easy.

Overall in these leagues Trickster and Guardian are ahead as the HoA-tanks.

Looking forward to use this build this season. Debating between Necro and Trickster. I'm thinking Necro because leveling as RF Elementalist till 2 voidstones sounds like a very comfy plan and overall probably a great experience.

Also, PoB for 3.27 has already been released. It would be great if you could adapt the trees so users don't have to manually migrate them. Exploring alternative ascendancies in different loadouts with the recommended notables could be also cool.

Thanks for the guide!

I am traveling today and am back at keyboard only saturday evening. Later leaguestart again for me.

Until that I am sorry, please click the "Convert all trees to 3.27" in pob, I do it tomorrow too. In the trees nothing changed.


Yes, RF Elementalist should be much relaxed fun for leveling up.
HoA is slower starting.

Bloodlines in pob will be added too, until tomorrow they are already guided in the 3.27 news here on necro-page 122.

Thank you Ovetense!

Edited: PoB is converted 3.27, no changes.

Trading-tipps for leaguesstart Day One are added on HoA-Necro page 122 in the 3.27-news

There are already many Foulborn Skin of Loyals, +20% quality of socketed gems, that means a lot HoA-damage, for 6 chaos available in trade, and medium clusters for 1 chaos. Smooth!

Allmost all other gear is already cheap available too.

Aegis auroras 2 div are much cheaper as in last leagues day one. 3.26 they were traded 3-4 div. Ghastly theater 2 augmentation-orbs is before enough until t-15 or also t-16.

United in dreams is good used as starter weapon after Cybil's paw, 1 chaos, strong foulborn-mods also available. Do not use Envy. Get Unholy might or +30% quality to all minion gems.

In place of a watcher's eyes roll or buy a shaper ring life on spellhit, 1 - 5 chaos.
Then you can switch Cybil's paw to the United in Dreams or +3 Cold Iron Point dagger.

Only circles of nostalgia are 35 chaos, last league they were early traded 2 chaos. Path to one more reservation- or mana-mastery or to "presage" before you get one.

Elegant Hubris commissioned Cadiro for the hybrid-recovery-keystone Supreme decadence are at cheap 3 chaos.

Ball lightning of Orbiting and Tornado of Elemental Turbulence are already at cheap 1 chaos.

Sin's Rebirth was never so cheap so early: 1 chaos.

Other typical day one prices are: Maata's teaching +2 you get for 14 chaos, stygian belts for 2 alch-orbs (or darkness enthroned for 30 chaos), good ghastly jewels for 5 chaos, 7#p-voices 28 chaos, etc ....


I started a day later into league and then after some hours needed to interrupt 4 days. But with the genesis tree and some breaches eg I had already around 15 chaos in stash until lvl 50 in a few hours.

pure agony:

crafting base, better take lvl 83+ for t-1 suffixes when you levelled up:

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Keepers/rPGRW3bZfQ

All poe-tradelinks you find in the last spoiler at the buttom of the build, there "medium clsters".
I haven't had much luck keeping up with the Fortresses in maps. NPC always dies, might be a rough league mechanic for this build. Sitting at 60 virulence and not dying myself, but our crawler needs screen wide clear to keep her alive in fortresses I think.

I'm unsure if I should reroll now, I really wanted to try this out and push the build this league but I really do think it's the wrong league to do it. If anyone has any tips for keeping Ailith alive in fortresses let me know.

Start getting withers of the flask Sin's Rebirth (3 chaos) and the skillgem withering step (1 wisdom scroll).
This already easy doubles your damage.

You have a good starter-gear.
Now further also your belt, your gloves, your amulet, other flasks, weapon, clusters and your jewels can be improved much with a few chaos-orbs.
Maata's teaching +2 you get for 14 chaos, United in dreams for 3 chaos, stygian belts for 2 alch-orbs (or darkness enthroned for 30 chaos), ghastly jewels for 5 chaos, voices 28 chaos, medium clusterbases 1 chaos, etc ....

Also your "predator" or "snipers mark" should be exchanged from their focus on single-targets instead to other HoA-supports and curses better fitting for high density when you are not farming bosses ...

In the spoiler "Herald of Agony step by step" are your next dps-multipliers like virulences, withers, HoA-poison / or HoA-crits etc. shown to scale your damage much up.
