[Phrecia] The dirty Scorpion-Tail|Herald of Agony-Cyclone-Necro|Arachnophobia Allstars 640M to 4B

Thanks for posting this, but after looking over the POB how are you applying poison? I don't see a way that it is setup to get the virulence's.

Nevermind, did not see the tattoos.

Yes, correct, poison chances are mandatory.

They are listed in "The HoA step by step" (and of course in the pob also).

Mandatory to poison are poisonchances and additional chaos- or physical damage-components.
For our pure elemental skills i.e. the nostalgia-ring, helmet-exarch-implicit or chance to poison supportgem add the basic chaos/phys-component.

Final place in the cherry jewel the golden rule to double the production of virulences.


Skill up minimum 80%, better 100% chance to poison:

20% HoAg-buff
25% 2 passives serpentine spellslinger
40-80% 8-16 tattoos of the tawhoa shaman

While levelling also:

40% chance to poison supportgem / or integrated in rare gloves
25% 2 passives fatal toxins
20% 2 passives swift venoms / toxic strikes

Was just going to possibly suggest minion leveling for phrecia event minion leveling is really op in this 3.27 patch with minions no longer using accuracy. You could easily respec your tree into a herald build later on once you got your ascendacy stuff.

Yes, some other minions, srs or absolution, are probably a bit faster for early speedlevelling.

But as soon as you can use unleash - ball lightnings of orbiting - chance to poison-support (can be also placed integrated in gloves too while gearing up) and pathed enough poisonchances, HoA turns extremely fast also and almost oneshots all campaign-bosses early.

Last leagues only cheap 1-2 chaos for the alternated ball lightning of orbiting-gem were needed.

I'm wondering why you took the lycia ascendacy instead of the apocalypse (+3 herald levels), I cant seem to see any notes on it anywhere.

Yes, it's a though decision.

In late endgame when you want to minmax the profane ground in the lycia-bloodline is a bit stronger with HoA's chaotic might. Also the tanky malediction debuffing enemies`s damage by 10%, before all our layers of defences are applied, so it's quite effective for tankyness.

But you need to run the sanctums (eg with srs), or better hire a tft-Lycia/Sanctum-carry-service, and then use a rational doctrine or zealotry-spectre to trigger profane ground.

The Herald-apokalypse +3 HoA-lvl is strong to reach HoA-tipping-levels 29 and 34, but beyond 2 passives in the lycia-bloodline are stronger.

To compare correct you need to enable with bitter heresy /disable with apokalypse the checkbox "Minions have Chaotic Might" in the pob-community-fork-configurations.


(Edited: And urgent switch out Deadly Ailments in HoA-supports, it lowers HoA's hit damage 80%!)
