Chromino#4813 Hello! Thanks for such a detailed guide! I'm still trying to figure things out and thinking of making this build with a Witch. I've farmed 140 Divine Orbs—do you think that amount will be enough in this league to comfortably kill Uber bosses?

For the Ubers I would guess 60-80 divs are enough in the moment.

Watcher's eyes, grand spectrums and b.i.s. sol are 7-10 divs higher priced as last leagues. All are listed in the spoiler "Typical budget and prices lategame" and in "Which budget?" on page 1:

For lazy tankyness I always recommend Trickster as No1.
Necro is quite flexible and good when you avoid dot-damage by movement.
Thank you a lot olegyaluck!

Thanks for the feedback! At the moment, I'm thinking of making a Necromancer. Honestly, I've never played with this gem before—hope it'll be fun! Thanks for the guide. I'll keep an eye on it and start putting the build

Which pob?

Prices for watcher`s eyes es on hit are still high, so compensate when needed:


- Until you got the watcher`s eye, use ascendancy bone barrier and keystone ghost reaver for minion-leech.

- Do not forget bleeding-, corrupted blood- and burning ground-immunities, most often they are dangerous.

- Stay longer hybrid life-es (with maw of the conquest helmet or hunter boots "unaffected by poison") and use a life-flask beside.

- Use a runegraft of the soulwick (4c) for better uptimes of vaal discipline.


That should be more than enough.

More easy workarounds are ranked in the spoiler:

Hey bro!

Thanks for the compliments.

ATM i can do any content of the game but the main one that im trying to do is uber bosses, but i cant. Keep dying and havent enought damage.

Can u take a look at my pob?

Also im using merc as cursebot.

She's applying Temporal Chains, Despair and Enfeeble. She's able to curse even hexproof enemies, gimme haste and 50% more damage.

Gloves: Asenaths Gentle Touch
Weapon: Kingmaker
Bodyarmour: Doppelganger Guise
Boots: Vorana's March

I don't think these boots do anything for AG. Better off with life+regen+resist + brittle eldritch afaik.

Overall your pob is looking awesome! Well done.
But your flasks are not optimal and need to be switched:

Get a sapphire flask for +max-resis, with charges gain when hit and inc. armour suffix.
Switch the jade/quicksilverflask out.

You should have enough mana for flesh and stone too, take that tanky aura in.

Mmmhmm, when possible squeeze in a runegraft of the fortress somewhere.

When your merc does the curses, switch the vixen-gloves to rare gloves for attr and resis and then switch the abyss jewels to ghastly jewels minion chance to poison for nice continuous dps.



Ebers unification is great, but in the end rare helmets, high es or high es+ar are stronger.



Then against almost all Ubers a hybrid life+es setup is better as CI.

In the spoiler "Ubers" --> "Hybrid life+es" it`s guided, with boots "unaffected by poison", dark seer es+life and a lifeflask.



That should make it much, much more easy.

Hi Chromino, I couldn't find a guide on how to craft the rare helmet with +2 minions and mana eff.

Do you recommend trying to craft this helmet or getting it ready-made in the store?

Overall the helmets with increased resis for melding or high es+ar are not expensive in trade, we are not depending on the more expensive 224 int high es helmets.

I myself always avoid craftings and am not much experienced (only in leaguestart I craft some popular gear for the market to earn my chaos and divs). But the basic-crafting guide is in the spoiler "Crafting Gear, Gems, Clusters" next to "checklists stats". Probably with the memory-strangs and recombinator it`s not up to date and can be crafted with better results:

1. Start with a fractured +2 to level of all minion skill gems helmet on es-base.

Crafting-Base

2. Spam Deafening Essence of Loathing for mana reservation-efficiencies until you get 2 other good suffixes that you need. Any t1-t2 resistance, Attr, etc.
For this step also use Eldritch-Exalts and -Annuls to get more tries on the Suffixes.

3. Use Eldritch crafting to get an es-prefix: Use Exalts and Eldritch-Annuls.
Once you have t1-t2 es just benchcraft the last mod.

4. Finalize your Eldritch-implicits.

yamyammy, I got 2 interesting megalomaniacs, pure agony + 20% and pure agony + 22% spell suppression, that makes the trees even further more flexible with easy 42% spell suppression in the clusters, hehehehe.

That`s a good day for Arachnophilia.

I feel that someone need to put this warning out there to anyone about to try Herald of Agony with this kind of build.

Dont expect leveling anywhere over 91-94-ish. Mapping is not fun, its nothing like what these guys showclip in videos or write. "Already unkillable, ready for ubers, can facetank anything".

I've played this 3 leagues.
The biggest concerns for smooth mapping without just dropping over dead to some bs is never adressed and I find it so weird.

1. Cyclone is the worst dog shit skill ever constructed. Adding to that a bunch of more skills spawning makes sure you're not ever seeing whats under your character or even what the bosses or monsters do. You'll stand in pools, you'll get hit by slams, projectiles and what not. And you're no where near unkillable, ever. If it hits or spawns under you, and you dont see it cause of cyclone or all the bs, you die. Ask these "pro players" or whatever they want to call themselves, they just say "well dont get hit by that". Bullshit argument when you litterally cant see 40% of the screen.

2. The energy shield pool. They say 3.5k is enough. This is super low.
They write it's easy to get. With this build and spec, it's not. There's so many uniques, it's super hard to even get over 3k. You have no talents to spare for it. This league I've not even transitioned to Skin of the lords. Been using a yellow rare armour 6-link for ages and even with that massive chunk of energy shield I get there I'm just barely over 3k.

3.Sustain. When you read this and watch it. Sure it looks like it'll work. I block and I get a lot of energy shield back ok.
It's not that simple. The energy shield you get back is based of your armour value, to even get 200 energy shield back per blocked hit, you'd need 10k armour. According to pobs and all, you're sitting on 40k armour with determination. You arent. That's with all flasks up. Wich they will not be at all times. Not all blocks give you a lot of es back. And if there's not a lot of enemies? What if there's 1 elite and 2-3 enemies. That's not a lot of blocks going off that regenerates up your tiny 3.5k pool.

You die constantnly while mapping and to map bosses. Any degen, dot (and they have a lot of them, the random map bosses) kills you cause you're not constantnly spamming blocks to heal the degen up. Whenever your grace isnt saving you and you do get hit, your tiny pool isnt keeping you alive.

The one item I havent aquired so far this league is a watcher's eye with ES on hit. Those are minimum 15divs in sc now and a good one would be more. But 20-30 energy shield per hit while I cyclone around, isnt making the difference, I'll never believe that 1 item saves this entire build. And I've been using the Malachai's mark unique gloves at time (20energy shield on hit) but it does not add anything at all.

Just, if you want to follow a guide and map and play this game. These guys aren't telling you the whole truth. You can spin through the maps and the damage is there. But dying to random things all the time is extremly tiering and boring. There's like 4x t14-t16 red map where I cant even kill the last boss currently cause there's some degen I just cannot "hope" to dodge with my grace or sustain from blocking hits that aren't there cause the boss channels a debuff or bleeds me and is not gonna keep hitting me on 20k armour constantnly fast enough to heal me up.

Try this when you are done with a league and just wanna goof around. But dont expect this to be some amazing unkillbable super build. It isn't in reality, only in these guys minds.
