[3.21] Herald of agony jugg, immortal, 2.5M dps, my Crucible starter, cheap

Hi, I'm Snolaz.
As for all leagues i'll post here my plans.

Immortal build, kinda low on the dps side.

Final build: I'm not making more changes and i consider it done. I dropped omni and i want to swap build.

It is possible to swap to herald of agony as soon as you get the golden rule, not before (level 30 is enough). I suggest swapping at level 62 tho.

To level i recommend playing smite with ancestral call and taking some dmg nodes too, while travelling to the templar area to start the setup for double brands for storm brand.

Smite should carry you until you can afford golden rule. The embalmer is a cheap 5 link, but i recommend going immediately for Lioneye's vision, since it has a shit ton of armor that synergize well with Unbreakable.

When those are acquired, you can aim for +1 phys or chaos daggers and farm heist until you can afford cold iron points.

For the rest of the gear just put on life res rares until you have enough currency to think about 6linking the chest and getting aul. Then you'll need the rings for the mana reservation.

Remember to swap to low level storm brand and chance to poison when you have golden rule, to take no extra damage. But chance to poison at least level 5 or it bugs out.

Swiftbrand if this build won't achieve enough cast speed with 20 quality on storm brand and faster casting.

If ailments will pose a problem you should annoint Defiled Forces instead.

For the endgame flask i'm not sure yet what the best setup is. It all depends if i can confortably drop the life flask, and that depends on how the regen feels. at 1k it should feel like a non interruptable energy shield recharge, so it should work.

If you don't have enough passive points, drop the extra curse and the cluster jewel. Damage should still be enough for all engame, maybe around 3+Million.

If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to write in the comments below.

If you play this build, i'll be happy if you let me know in the comments.

Have a nice league!

So from the PoB. I'm noticing that all of the curses/marks are in vixen's. How is it then that you are activating them? I currently don't see a way outside of that to trigger them.

If i'm not mistaken it should be that when you cast 1 curse (of them), automatically Vixien triggers them all, no?

You need them only for big bosses, they are like totems for melee builds, you are not supposed to use them every pack.

Btw i was out for some irl gameplay :)

Always wanted to give HoA a try so I'm leveling up one right now following your guide. I'll let you know if I like it :)

https://pastebin.com/ihA486kM This is what i'm levelling with now. Clears well. I suggest terminus at 51 if you can afford it, or just play on with crucible.
Let me know :)

For levelling i definitely reccomend smite with hatred hoash and hothunder. If you level with HOA recommend pierce support for clear.

I just swapped at 62 this is my build now: https://pastebin.com/8ei2Xu4p

Just swap at 62, cold iron points are hella cheap this league, also watch out for HOA level 21 at level 72. Colors in the chest are not optimal, minion damage is better.

When the curses are in the gloves, you cannot cast them yourself. you need a curse socketed somewhere else to cast and trigger the ones inside the gloves. It does not work in your current setup

Tnx for clarification, i swapped gems around, i also suggested Swiftbrand if this build won't achieve enough cast speed with 20 quality on storm brand and faster casting. And i levelled the build down to 95.

If ailments will pose a problem you should annoint Defiled Forces instead.

Stone golem scales well with +phys gem levels

Juat an update. I'm loving the build, so far i reached t16 and i start lacking dmg. POB says it's around 650 000.
Now the upgrade path is clear. hatred is 30 more dmg, 6 link is 40 more dmg, awakened gems are 20-30 more dmg.

Defences are good enough, 60% evade chance with 90% phys reduction + endurance charges. Capped res + 100% spell supp + jugg passive.

Here's the build:

Now i'm debating how will i approach the flask problem. Currently im testing if i can drop the life flask for the endurance cry. Seems kinda clunky. Alternatively i'm pobing a flask setup with life flask + bismuth + granite/amethist. Doesn't look exciting. In the end maybe Sion was the better choice with all flask up, easy access to life flask and 20/30% more damage compared to the jugg version, not to mention it has more passive points availlable. Slighly less tanky tho... Still trying to work out a solution for flasks rn.

Hey, nice build here, will try it soon... YOu will keep update?... whats your goals with that?...

Is this a nice build for mapping?... I don´t like to die... what about bosses?...

I can keep updating if people want it :) i didn't want to spam, i already posted twice with no replies.

By now i have shaper whitnessed by maven and feared down. Damage is on the low side since i focused on getting defence upgrades.

You can always see my gear updated from my public profile.

the build takes very little dmg, aside from ground degens (only problem i didn't calculate)

Getting Eldritch battery on cold iron point just gives us like 13 free points to invest elsewhere. Definitely worth game changing, crucible is POG!

i have freeze immunity from pantheon, reduced shock from there too. 2 corrupted jewels with 50% reduced duration of ignite (it's immunity) and 2% mana reservation, that allows to run only one agony ring. The other one i'm using doedre because i'm waiting to annoint whispers of doom on amulet.

This league Aul with hatred reservation is too expensive (5div). Since we drop culling strike from the setup because with it we can't sustain 40 virulence with no swiftbrand, i opted for eternal struggle (5c sniped) that gives 15% more damage (15 cull).

Sustaining 45 virulence in single target is impossible, but the cluster jewel is good for mapping and bosses+1 other mob or boss.

So forget about hatred (it's 23 more dmg, but and with this cheap amulet it's +15, not a big loss). 1 extra gem slot, probably for a low level stone golem in the CWDT setup (still + 150 life regen.

Belt is okish, microdistillery base is better ofc, but this one dropped. i have 100% uptime on flasks, while mapping i use an extra quicksilver flask with bleed immunity.

No life flask but a enduring cry setup that refill all hp and gives endurance charge generation vs bosses, i used to remove ailments like shock poison if i get too many stacks or bleed. I still keep the flask for testing now.

My plans now are getting a +2 level helmet (40% more dmg), and testing a life leech flask with wurm's molt, using kikazaru to get insane life regen and cover the curse effect mod lost on the flask. But for that i need to annoint +1 curse.

Getting the 6 link is easy if you corrupt a 5 link with beast craft and then tainted fusing it. I got it first try.

Basically now i lack +4 level on HOA, it's like 80% more dmg. 2 for helm and 2 from awakened gems.

Also, another idea is dropping vixien for bane and using grip of the council gloves. Might work since ele weakness is bad with no hatred, and punishment is bad with the amulet.

Another idea is trigger socketed spells when you focus in helmet to trigger all 3 curses at once, dropping ele weak and going for grip of the council


I want to push the build up to 3m dps at least. then i want to swap because i dropped and i want to play with it.
