Hi.

Feel like I'm probably done with this now. Had some lucky drops and managed to farm enough currency to buy a mageblood. I think there's more I could do but not really sure where. Corrupted ashes for extra curse is the only thing that really stands out. Remaining two levels but not sure I can be bothered with the grind.

One thing that's bugged me throughout and I should've asked sooner was my CWDT setup and also weapon setup with travel skill and the brand.

I never seem to have enough mana for the CWDT stuff to cast regularly and as a result feels like wasted slots.

Similarly with the weapon slot. I NEVER use the brand and I've always disliked shield charge as a movement skill. However with withering step, flame dash etc feels clunky with the cooldowns. Was there a better option? Should I have used a mark instead of the brand? I dont boss kill alot so maybe thats why the brand felt useless - or is it there for spreading curses - which I then didn't need due to my gloves? So much confusion for me over this one.

Ultimately it feels strong and your gudies and POBs were very good, so thanks for that. Been a good season on a character I'd never played before.

EDIT: included a pob for my character

Hey again Macca!

Yes, with mageblood it's really tricky to optimize mana-reg and mana-recoupings for cwdt or cws.


Mana-reg or -recoup on blue corrupted jewels is doubled by the Adorned, but such jewels are rare to get by crafting or in trade.

I optimized the guidings about mana-reg, and the tipps moved out from "manamanager" and "manamaster" into the new spoiler "mana-reg".

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3019705/page/483

Mana-Regenerations

Spoiler

Mana-regenerations

11)
Above 90 unreserved mana it's more effective to balance into mana-reg and -recoupings.

You should reach 60 to 90 mana-reg /sec with mana-reg on jewels, mystic bulwark, 1-2x self-discipline, or alternative arcane surge and other ring-implicits for the needed continuous cwc and maximal es on hit.

Example: cyclone (lvl1) 18 mana/sec- (awakened) cast while channelling (lvl 5) - tornado of elemental turbulence (lvl 1) 1.5/sec x 18 = 27 mana, / lasts 4 secs = 16 mana /sec - ball lightnings of orbiting 1.5/sec x 13 = 19 mana/sec
____________
totally: 18 + 16 +19 = minimum 53 mana/sec needed

First and best we scale flat continuous mana-reg:

Mana-Base-Reg

■ base-reg is 1.8% of Mana per second regenerated (18-22 mana/sec)
■ get 1-4x t1/t2-prefixes mana-reg on abyss jewels (2.5/3.5 up to 14 mana/sec)
■ buff and double the abyss-jewels base-mana-reg in darkness enthroned or by the adorned (+ 5-21 mana/sec)

Increased Mana-Reg

■ then increase all with mystic bulwark (75%)
■ by 1-2x the cluster "self-control" eg on megalomaniacs clusters (25-50%)
■ "increased mana-reg", "mana-reg while moving" as 1-5 jewel- and clustertransfer-suffixes (14-100%)
__________

eg total:
(20+10+7=) 37 mana + 125% = 83 mana/sec


Mana-Recoupings

Then we use beyond mana-recoupings on jewels to procc all skills.

■ '2% damage recouped as mana' on one abyss jewel or 10% in a mana-mastery for the cwdt/cws triggered skills (example: 2000 damage taken = 2% = 40 mana recouped, with adorned / darkness enthroned 100% increased: 80 mana recouped over 4 secs)
■ When needed lower frostshield to lvl 1-15

Ascendancies

■ as Jugg "Battle Rouse"
■ as Champ "Mana Flows"

For mageblood

■ the aura 'clarity' (and further possible watcher's eye clarity-mods, base 3-40 mana/sec)

Variations

■ use flat mana-reg, or 'arcane surge', as ring-implicit (3.5/30%)
■ use more cluster-notables like Clarity of purpose, Self-discipline, Sage or Arcane Adept on megalomaniacs (25-100%)
■ in high density 5 'mana gained when you block' as jewel/cluster implicit
■ with cyclone get 2 'mana on attack' with 1 passive of "clever thief" or on a jewel
■ as Necro and Scion 1 passive Es+Mana-Reg in the starting location
■ use 'siphoning trap' (base 19 mana/sec)
■ alternative use an enduring mana-flask
■ a second mana-mastery for 5 base mana-reg / 10% recoup
■ on int-tattoos (8%)
■ a shaper-ring 'mana on spellhit'
■ arcane surge / mana leech-support
■ with poacher's mark
■ When only a few manapoints are missing, go with fewer channelled skills and selfcast more skills like spell echo - ball lightnings of orbiting and cwc frostshield.



With mageblood and the adorned most easy is probably to add the aura "clarity", to use "siphoning trap" or a magic jewel with stats mana-reg, mana-recoup and mana while moving and double it with the adorned, or get fitting megalomaniacs.


Alternative you can use frostshield instead tornados of turbulence in cast while channelling. Or slower projectiles instead tornadoes. Then you need with the long duration less mana by default too. With 100% poisonchances by poison on hit-tattoos you should produce enough HoA-virulences only with ball lightnings of orbiting.

About shield-charge: yes, it's best in flat terrain like dunes or jungle valley and fastest while levelling, but in some other maps it's clunky and flamedash is better. Choose your prefered movement-skill, or use both when you want more speed and qol.

Thank you again!

It`s the league for some b.i.s. again.


... I cannot remember such a rare rolled aegis aurora since long times in [3.21] Crucible.

Some totally b.i.s.:


I am still trying to craft better ones:

Nice to be doubled by the Adorned to +3/+4:





With the b.i.s. clusters and megalomaniacs and good ghastlys jewels I reached 210 unreserved mana, 140 mana/sec, 130 overcapped resis, 4 curses, 50M dps. And I have the fitting gear for 140M dps HoA-crits in stash.

In ordinary content the HoA-jugg I play this league is almost immortal and died only 4x in levels 80-100 (do not retell, I did U-sirus in unfitting mapping equipment asenath's gentle touchs on low 3k es and on top I forgot to reactivate ghost dance 5 levels long, equal to 40% less ehp, lol).
Now in lvl 100 I farm in titanic gigantified rogue exiles strategies also in t17's including crazy mods like 300-400% increased map-mods, 3x 300% additional elemental damage, seance, wrath of the cosmos, 80% delirious etc. - not deathless, but good & easy doable.

Because the high unreserved mana and mana-reg are not often needed I'll balance further into more damage and do beside recombinations and shipments for one of the imba +8 amulets.

Aegis Alkem Eira Aurora 2.0 - Full Block + MoM - Fire and Minions - Stormweaver

The Servant of Arakaaliis is anounced in the Legacy of Phrecia.

Is it perhaps the Agony-Ascendancy?

Hehehe.

so i am using a wand and therefore i cannot use cyclone as a skill to start the channeling-poison-chain.
was using stormburst and would try to link it with tornados and the ball lightning of orbiting instead now?
or are there better suited options.

Yes, storm burst or ball lightning are fitting best.

Many more set-ups you find in "Skills and Trigger | Styles and Auras" on page 483.

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3019705/page/483


There take a look into "Create your own style | More styles", especially into "Stormburst | 2k es on hit" and "Ball Lightning | Caster style".

storm burst lvl 1 / 21 - faster casting - more duration - decay / incr. aoe / es-leech - + onslaught, +arcane surge

storm burst lvl 1 / 21 - cast while channelling - ball lightning of static - tornados of elemental turbulences

ball-lightnings (lvl 1) - greater multiple projectiles - faster casting - slower projectiles - spell echo

Arachnophilia!

With "Herald" as witch the HoA will get in Legacy of Phrecia 25 additional HoA-virulences ("Scourge") and +3 HoA levels ("Apokalypse") - Good scaled each 5 virulences will count around 110M, mmhmm, that will lead the build to 122-140 HoA-virulences and so to delicious 850-1400M dps.

In cheapest gear. Imba. Totally insane.



Because auras will be disabled, the build will have three defensive set-ups: hybrid life+es, CI, and mageblood to choose from.

1) As hybrid life+es Maw of the conquest as helmet or Kahuturoa`s Certainty as boots will be a good choice (or also rare boots unaffected by poison) and perhaps switching to The Svalinn or The Surrender shield. The Dark Seer sceptre +2 life / +2 es per lvl should be used before scaling HoA-crits.

2) Alternative we remain CI and choose as bodyarmour Lioneye's Vision, Brass Dome or rares with high es. Stasis Prison would be nice too.

3) Third with the mageblood armour and evasion of flasks again will be buffed valuable tanky by Skin of the Lords 100% increased global defences, for the +4 HoA-levels and additional the keystone.

Auras disabled

Instead auras we activate aspect of the crab, temporal rift, arctic armour, and when wanted defiance banner.
We add enduring composure for endurance charges or the new "Damnation" for elemental flat dr ("Future Guilt") and HoP as meatshields for flat physical dr.

New flasks | Recovery

Because we also cannot use the watcher's eye, in examples we add a recouping-mastery, use the flasks sorrow of the divine or bottled faith, the belt graven's secret, temporal rift, and/or buff up storm burst to leech with ghost reaver and vessel of vinktar.

Vaal discipline, and also in maps / with the Hateful Accuser ring + Soul Ripper-flask, can be used also or as belt-variation The Burden of Truth.

New rings | More flat damagereductions

Mana Reservation will be no problem, so we do no longer need the Circle of Nostalgia. We add instead the Anathema moonstone ring to stack 4-5 curses for enfeeble, punishment etc.

As second ring a hungry loop for skillslots (HoP, ball lightnings, or storm burst), or rares or The Hateful Accuser for Penance Mark are very valuable.
So also enough skillsockets will no longer be a problem.

With melding of the flesh we stack as usual already +90% max-resis early, perhaps in combination with Herald of Ice for easy additional +5% max cold-resis in "Future Fear". Help bandit Alira with 1 passive point.

As usual 100% spell suppression, 100% ailment-immunities, spellblock and attackblock are stacked beside too. Spell suppression and ailment-immunities we cap 100% with 1-2 small clusters "elegant form".

1B+ damage

Of course we use further the unique clusterjewel "Calamitous Vision" - when it's price don`t skyrocks, but it's a quite common drop for 25% more damage on top.

Vixens gloves are switched to Asenath's gentle touch-gloves or to the 4W-socket triad grips.

The 3-5 small clusters for auras and mana could be switched out against the minion-mastery for HoA-Unholy Might for a free gloves-choice / asenath gentle touch.

Probably also a double herald set will be valuable: Herald of Agony combined with Herald of Purity and Phantasms support (+ Withering Touch + Feeding Frenzy + Multistrike).


Alternative Servant of Arakaali

Spoiler

Also the spiders in the arakaali's tree can oneshot everything from the 2nd lab onward. Arakaali's servant will grant also a good mix of tankyness from auras, witherings and scaling HoA-crits and fast spiders.





The concrete pob's will follow soooon.

It's the time to sting!

The moment I saw that ascendancy I though of doing a build like this. I am so damn glad someone already did a the math and testing with previous version so that I can use this logic and make a PoB for the league.

Cheers mate, thank you for doing gods work upon our cursed exiles asses.
