another question.
my link Reckoning+Life gane on hit support
Does it = Life gained when you Block ?
Anvil is not good, it reduce me cast speed, my second attack skill now Absolution. And i need more resists in amulet.
And about chaos mastery on top of skill-tree.
it needed after CI?

Yes, reckoning with life on hit gives recovery, but need 2 sockets.

Yes, the Anvil is not optimal and only a early starter amulet.
Prefer better recovery on a shield.
But without recovery or only with low recovery you will be too often killed in a few seconds.

Chaos mastery is needed in the levels 92-100 to get HoAg up to the tipping points of more damage lvl 28 or 31.

Arakaalis are for 5,5 ex and higher, so no spiders so far :p

yes, it's again like last league the most popular weapon for summoners and high price traded or pricefixed by path-of-trade-exiles.

On page 50 are a lot variations. Cold iron point dagger is almost as strong as arakaali's for 35 chaos, or you can craft a minion-damage-triggerwand yourself for some alchemies, or a replica advancing fortress is top tanky for early fullblock and you can instead balance into minion-damage on the tree or clusters with it, 3 chaos.

But arakaali's remains most funny and offers a bit faster mapping.

Yeh, seen it, just thought spiders from Arakaali are your main dmg resource?

The spiders are in this build more supports to buff with withering touch the damage of the Herald of Agony into extremes.

Of course they reach also high clearspeed in maps and clean the screen themself.

But further after in endgame the HoAg grabs and deals 70% of the complete damage, and the spiders only 20-30% or phantasms only 15%.

As long as you don't have clusters with "pure agony" and gear like skin of the lords, empower or awakened gems, the portion of the spiders is higher and decreases with your progress.

It has been really fun going through the acts using this build, but after getting into maps I can't clear white maps without dying a bunch and my damage seems to be too low in case I go against a boss with regeneration. I'm currently using whatever I can get my hands on and the gem links... well the links are kinda confusing me. I'm not sure which ones I should use at this point of leveling. Any tips?

Hi Daerkenn,

thank you and let them crawl!

I advice to quintuple defences and damage with 5 chaos:

1) before CI-Transformation use 1 instant life flask

2) Holy relic helps only in the very few first levels, push it out

3) You should get one big defensive aura, determination or grace. As long as you have manaproblems change HoP to Absolution or use discipline a bit later as CI.

Get further on a small cluster uncompromising or sublime form and the helmet enchant for enough mana, each 1-3 chaos:

Helmet enchant, starting 1 alch for 50%, best is 75% HoAG skill-efficiency:
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/YaDE756sY

4) For HoAg-damage use also already additional ball-lightnings in the storm-brand set-up for more virulences.

Then get a cheap 5 link bodyarmour, 1-3 chaos:

More damage:

or for easy manamanagement:

or curses:

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/BJ5QvM3u8

For damage get a HoAg gem lvl 21 early, but still wait some moments, lvl 73 and 159 dex are needed:

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/YB5kV7RsY

Frost bomb helps against regeneration of bosses too when wittnessed by maven.

5) Change your belt, it is not optimal for the build

6) Path to whispers of doom only with 2 curses and when you have curses on hit gear. Before use only sniper's mark. I would go without in these levels, but when you want on gloves or ring:

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/Ld4QKVBfn

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/BJ5voDwu8

7) Get a better shield with recovery, 1 chaos:

Lvl 63: Shield Whakatutuki o Matua or other shields, 1 chaos:
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/6M5zmd2tG

Shields, life on block, before CI
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/DYBX54gc5
Shield, as Ci, before aegis aurora, es / block
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/RWgml9gU7

8) with a bit more spellblock and a rumi's concoction you already can regret glancing blows and go fullblock with your replica advancing fortress:

Hello, I've been enjoying this build and managed to flip quite a few ex on archnemesis SC to get most of the endgame gear. I am just missing a few things right now because there are very few on the market (aul's uprising with grace, efficient large cluster jewels, level 6 awakened gems, alternate qualities). The dps seems ok at 60 stacks and with all spiders, but I found that I am too squishy to facetank some end game bosses and so I can't get 60 stacks or respawn spiders constantly and lose most of my dps trying to dodge mechanics.

Here's my POB: https://pastebin.com/WHV84g5j

Other than getting getting aul's uprising (no one's selling them!), what can I do to improve?

I played another guardian HoAg build in Metamorph league with 24k ES, capped block 40k armour, before they nerfed Shaper's touch and I was able to facetank everything in the game absolutely no problem. However this build currently feels much squishier (although better dps and clear).

4) For HoAg-damage use also already additional ball-lightnings in the storm-brand set-up for more virulences.

does it worked together?
or i need use one button for brand storm and ANOTHER for ball-lightnings?

Great gear!

Take a look into the spoiler "checklist defences" and check step by step stuff like maxed pantheons, es against oneshots and 75% spellblock.

Grace offers much tankyness. In the amulet section, page 50, is the workaround to activate grace without aul's uprising. Use instead small clusters uncompromising, self-control, sublime form or the new amulet ashes of the stars.

With your lvl 88 it's a bit early for the 100% chaosconversion Edition, but you can try. It's more easy some levels higher.

Later fullgeared you should be much more tanky as with the older build.

I take a closer look on your pob tomorrow.

So I'm starting T11 and just went CI, this is the Balaar builder guy. I don't know what to use inplace of Arakali since it's really expensive. I have the boots, helmet, and shield and 6L random armor and also bought a Nostalga ring for 15C with agony buff and damage on it. But what do I use in place of the weapon since I deal elmental dmage with stormbrand?

Use Cold Iron Point Dagger for the +3 to Physical Spell Gems
