ok, took a bit of getting used to but seems great so a big shout out for you, it's great fun :)

Just a couple of questions though

It says my dps total is 2.98M, is that per spider or overall?

i have 808 mana spare, so would lvling up my desecrate help any?

Is there any amulet you would recommend while farming for Aul's? It is ridiculously expensive at the moment. I am still missing one circle ring, but with both rings + charisma anointment and some support adjustments for herald, I should be able to manage herald + hatred + discipline + clarity.

Seeing as Aul's is so pricey I would even be tempted to stack a bit more reservation reduction and try to fit everything without it. There are reservation nodes we did not take, including herald reservation, so there is room for some tricks here. Then we could use ES/Mana amulet with maybe dmg mod like + gem levels, to potentially mitigate removing some other passives in favour of reservation.

For example Replica Hyrri's would give a lot of extra room in our mana pool when running Hatred variant, while being relatively cheap. I am still thinking whether this is a good option or there is something better

Nothing wrong with the Astramentis you are using now. I'm still using the same one at level 92.

Careful with the Hatred variant, it's not great for leveling. IMO it's the option for after you've leveled as high as you plan to and don't care about deaths anymore.

Hi there,

first of all: Great Build, i enjoy playin and improving step by step. Though i am just a casual player with littel currency i allready reached Lvl 93 an Sirius5, quiete nice for my playtime and playstile :-)

Even in T16 I am doing quiet well, but i lack in boss damage. I guess it is less the build or equip but me, so let me ask 2 questions:

1. While mapping i can easily get 55 Viruleces and 100 Serpintine Spellslinger Stacks. With this most Monsters go down quiet fast. But i cant realy get theses stacks with bosses. Got better since i switched in BrandSkill for faster Casting in my Ball Lighting Setup but it is still bad.
I shoot ball lightning at the boss till i have to move (and with Guardians or worse i have to move often) as well as some brands, but as i cannot tank everything most of the time i am low at damage stacks.
So what can I do against bosses?
Get more tanky=more ball lightning / Rare Gloves instead of Shapers Touch / other playstile?

2. Is it possible to get Grace running (+Determination, +Discipline) without Auls Amulett? I guess i will never be able get it :-)

Sidenote: My next Improvements will be Watchers Eye, Amu Annointment and Empower Gem, when having the currency an with Annointment Charisma i have to fix Tree / Mana reservation. But i guess thats not the answer to my question.

Thanks for your help!

Hello everyone!

Loving the build, but I seem to be hitting a wall on T13 maps. Dying left and right even bricked a conqueror map. I haven't struggled like this in a very long time, if ever, which makes me think I'm missing something.

I know I am have a long way to go in terms of damage (working on crafting clusters and leveling gems), but I'm not certain what should be the next step defence-wise. Currently sitting on 4.5k ES and 27k armor (40k with Granite flask on).
Besides the obvious Skin with Iron Reflexes and aul's which is outside my price range right now, is there anything that would help increase survivability?

Thanks!

Hi again akispsi,

I checked the pob:




Take also the important passives for armour and es:

"insightfulness" is bis for more es and more ar. Arcane will and arcane focus will boost your es and ar much. Get the helmet enchant and regret discord artisan to activate the passives you can also regret some points of your large cluster probably. For starting you could switch a medium cluster or the large cluster to defensive ones too, but loose a lot damage. But you need the helmet enchant or more uncompromising/ self control to get the free passives instead discord artisan. And as grimjack writes, your reservd mana is transformed into ar and es, reserve all mana and keep only 50-90 unreserved mana.

Also try out phantasms in your HoA-supports as meat shields, in lower tiers they block and taunt a lot.

With these changes of passives, flask as above posted and amulet you will get a lot more ar and es.

"

Probably 2.98 is the crawler solely without 20 spiders. Don't forget to activate 15 withers, 20 spiders, curses and correct number of virulences for calculating.

I guess you need to change in the skillgem "determination" until getting it granted on shield. It's much armour and es/block.
Put out withering step or take in an unset ring or in "skillmanager" are a lot possibilities. This will also ebentually mix up your mana new.

That DPS number is probably for the agony crawler, there's no way you can get spiders up to 3 million each, and I don't think POB has an option for what all 20 of them do. I haven't managed to figure it out if the option exists.
