[3.10] Herald of Agony Mana Guardian | 2.5 Minute Sirus 8 | Deathless T19 100% Delirium
" My leveling setup is here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2663126/page/68#p22674416 The only difference is I ended up using Theif's Torment and Perquil's Toe. livejamie

So I said I would post back after I put more time into this build and I have some thoughts on it. First, this is definitely not a starter build for a league. Easily the most money I've put into build to really make it feel alive (don't take it as a huge criticism I haven't played in awhile).
Certain things almost feel necessary before I'd run this build. Outside of the starter gear that is recommended, I feel it's really important to have a trigger when skill used wand. As in, I wouldn't even touch the build before I have one of those wands. It REALLY changes the feel of the build and as OP pointed out, just makes it feel much smoother. The damage definitely feels lacking early on. I pumped more money into my gear and something like having 4 minions + crawler feels really key to making the dps feel like enough. Onslaught with 5 minions is really nice. I'm up to almost 10k ES now and the build feels really nice even doing Red Maps with not fun rolls on it but you do still have to watch what you're doing. This build at least for me is really easy in lulling you to sleep with not taking any damage and then you're doing the meta boss and he throws that aoe ground damage and suddenly you start losing chunks of ES. Sometimes it's easy to just get bodied because you go from not taking any damage to running into a random pack that has a bad mod on them and you get chunked. I'm enjoying it. I don't know if I like it more than Witch Skels (that's just face roll easy) but I definitely think this one has better sustain. The dps probably gets up there near Witch Skels too but it requires a lot more currency to do it. I felt like with Witch Skels it cost nothing to get super strong and most upgrades especially now are way cheaper compared to this. I will keep playing this build though because I'm only mid 70s and I'm sure as I dump more points and get my gems sorted out it will just keep feeling better. Leveling was an absolute pita though. TY OP for this build. It's completely out of my comfort zone and is a totally different playstyle than I ever attempt and I'm glad I tried it. |

" Thanks for this. Did this gear allow you to clear all the way to 68? If not what would you recommend swapping out? thanks! |
|
" It would even carry you much farther than 68 if you didn't switch to Ci at that point. Not sure why he used those rings though. Thiefs Torment is much better. Last edited by Mecielle#3021 on Dec 29, 2019, 12:29:51 PM

" Necromancer skeleton is definitely better for SSF or league starter. But even without watcher you will eventually hit 15K energy shield, and I am sure your damage will be much higher than now as well with more gem levels. This build has a much higher ceiling whether it is deeper delve or doing more level 8 bosses deathless. Last edited by hitmantb#6251 on Dec 29, 2019, 10:24:53 PM

If anyone still has delve spectres and is available right now, hit me up thanks XD
Also thanks for the guide, it's a lot of fun so far. |

" Yes I used that setup until 70 when I switched. I only used those Rings/Amulet from level 16 until the 30s when I could equip Torment/Toe as I mentioned. :) livejamie

I was just looking at this guide trying to decide what to do for my next character. Then I closed it and went back to playing the game, opened a map with a Zana mission, she offered me a Purifier map, I killed the Purifier and he dropped the Memory Vault xD. I guess the game is trying to tell me to play this. I have never played templar before, it is the only character I don't even have the Dominus achievement for.
Currently I am playing a fast attacking, teleporting melee build that clears maps very very fast but can be a little bit glass-cannonish and lacks a bit of damage against bosses. Will this feel very different? How does this build fare against the new Atlas bosses and Metamorphs? |

Hey guys, How is this build for early end game? currently playing a Ice shot deadeye in early red maps and getting tired of flopping everytime a boss or metemorph looks at me. This looks very tanky and exactly what i'm looking for. However, i looked up a few of the key items and noticed the Shaper's touch gloves with corruption are over 7ex! is there a budget option to get me started or do i need alot of currency from the get go?
Also, the leveling guide mentions 4 links, Quilrain and theifs torment? Most people will atleast have a tabula (does % damage corruption work for HoA?). what should i run for 6 link and any other items i could use to make the levelling easier? i had a quick scan through this thread and alot of people seem to complain about the levelling being difficult. TIA for any advice. P.S i have a couple of ex saved up so can buy some fancy leveling gear / early endgame gear if you can advise on any. |
