Video Guide
Intro
I Really wanted to get back into build guides and creation. It is something that is amazing for new players and veterans alike. Now that it has been quite some time since GGG has done big meta shifts (or more importantly since they completely gutted something or removed/nerfed something completely changing the meta) I wanted to start up builds/guides again and make almost a repository of builds that I have done start to finish and share them with the community. I want more players to come to love the game as much as I do and hopefully these builds will help someone out there
Tree
https://shorturl.at/lquHS
*Note* Rest of passive points go into cluster jewel passives. Best to look at POB.
Leveling
Also best to look at pob as it has the leveling trees and skill setup in much more organized detail. Quick run down here:
- SRS + minion damage + melee splash - Raise zombies + minion damage + minion life - Focus almost entirely on res/life gear - Early passives help a ton for minion stuff - Shred all content till maps while being super safe and tanky
Gear breakdown & Stat Prioritization
Best to refer to POB or video guide as it is much more organized but will leave quick examples/explanations here
Helm
Looks complicated but fairly simple. +2 all minion is an absolute must and first mod to go for. Then decent life + high spell suppress. Higher suppress rolls we get the lower tiers we can use on eldritch currency later. Then we go for 40% srs enchant along with eldritch implicits. Any additional res is good to have. This makes for one nice helm once finished.
Weapon
. DO NOT upgrade to united in dream. we want the withered on hit which is like half our damage along with the minion multi.
Shield
+5 max cold res is awesome especially for ice novas and other things. Tons of defenses, res, high block and most importantly the 2% ES recovery on block even with low armour gives us a ton of es in sticky situations and pairs great with both Mind over matter and eldritch battery.
Chest
Covenant gives tons of extra dps, ES, and more life.
Gloves
Again high suppress and life. Getting chaos res and dex roll really helps alleviate the stress of maxing those later. Considering that only brings it up to 4 mod gloves it really isn't too hard to buy/make.
Boots
Going fast is a must as we rely on movement speed and dash to get around. Mobility is one of the most underated aspects on any character IMO. Again another high dex/suppress roll + high move speed and life. Implicits can be literally w/e you want but I chose for more movespeed and CDR for travel skills.
Belt
Darkness enthroned with as high % effect as you can get. This really helps for when we spec out of non-psn into psn you really want to try for 15% psn jewels in here with as close to 100% effect as you can get.
Jewelry
Ashes is as OP as it is on every other build. +1 all gems is great +30quality to gems is a ton of damage/minion life/speed and all kinds of other stuff. Reservation efficiency is great and the exp gain of gems is awesome as well. Rings are split 50/50 to min/max certain stats on build. One is mostly for res/chaos res and life along with another big dex roll. Other ring is pure dps wonderfulness with some life/chaos res mixexd in.
Flasks
Jewels
Jewels are very simple and straightforward on this character and are mostly comprised of minion ghastly eye jewels. First the only unique we use is The green nightmare just to cap up our spell suppress at 100%.
For Clusters we get a single 12 passive minion cluster with call of the slaughter + 35% inc affect and 3% attack/cast speed. Extra life is nice or you can even drop the notable to help cap chaos res if you want to. Rest is ghastly eye minion jewels. Need a solid 5x with life + high minion psn damage + minion dmg if minion skill was used recently. Then last mod is minion deals X to X chaos damage. *NOTE* These jewels can get VERY expensive. Going for 4 decent rolled good mods can cost literally 20-40 div a piece. This is only for super end game min/maxing and is not needed for the normal build to clear everything very easily.
Gems & Links
6L Setup: SRS - Unleash - Minion Dmg - Melee Splash - Unbound Ailments - Void Manipulation *NOTE* Awakened versions of gems will be used later along with divergent SRS and you can start with chance to poison instead of void manipulation until you get your abyss jewels. 3L Setup (WEAPON ONLY): Summon stone golem - feeding frenzy - Generosity 3L Setup: Tempest Shield - Bone Offering - Precision 4L Setup: Raise Spectre - Meat Shield - Minion Life - Animate Guardian *NOTE* Again divergent animate guardian is huge QOL we use later on, also used raise zombies until swapping to AG. Also used minion damage while leveling + early mapping until I got the high end spectres. 4L Setup: Despair - Blasphemy - Vaal Haste - Enlighten (at least level 3) 4L Setup: Dash - Second wind + Divine Blessing + Malevolence *Note* Keep a Multistrike support in your inventory to swap to bosses. The earlier and less geared you are the more you use this. At full gear... only thing this gets swapped for is uber and pinnacle bosses or guardians.
Spectres + Animate Guardian
Spectres we simply go for arena master (found in drox maps) and pale seraphim (which is a beyond mob) if/when you push raise spectre to level 25 you then pick up carnage chief.
As for Animate Guardian. There is a quick breakdown in notes in the POB however the "end game" setup is: Helmet - Crown of the tyrant with white socket Weapon - Kingmaker Chest - Garb of the Ephemeral Gloves - Asenath's gentle touch Boots - Windscream
No No Map Mods
- None. This build runs all mods just fine. HOWEVER... there are 2 mods that can be slightly to moderately annoying. The first and worst is Desecrated ground. Can still run just fine but stepping on desecrate stops the regen of your ES. So you can get half through a map and realize you can't cast your skill anymore since we use eldritch battery. Can just take a step off and wait or you can avoid them as much as possible while running around.
The second is less recovery. This feels meh on both life + es since we use a bit of both to cast our skill. Not a huge issue but can be annoying sometimes.
Annointment
Charisma. We really need that reservation efficiency
Bandit
Kill all for the +2 passives
Ascendancy Points
Mindless Agression > Commander of Darkness > Bone Barrier > Mistress of Sacrifice
Pantheon
Minor God - Abberath. I Like being immune to burning ground especially when I have no regen on map mod or w/e. The 60% reduced duration of ignite is also great. Major God - Soul of Brine King. Simply for the reduced effect of chill and freeze immunity. Feel free to change this as needed or use whatever other gods you would like to worship.

" What a friendly build creator, you love to see it ^^ Build is 1 to 1 copy of balormage's poison srs from sanctum league, why would you even write a guide on it? Trust your mind and strengthen your abilities!
| |
" Balormage had a couple great videos and did a collaboration on a written guide mixed with ghazzys. I felt I played the build differently enough from both that it warrented it's own guide. Just to list some examples: - Don't use armor stacking or determination aura at all - Run blasphemy + despair - Different cluster jewel - Self cast offering - Use ashes - Use enlighten - Use 3 spectres - Use precision Aura As for pming, pming me on the forums or in game will not get a response. That is literally what the written guide is for and is simply to help other people with questions. I also get notifications if anyone posts in any of my threads or guides. Messaging someone in game is not the way to go about asking a question about a guide they have written up on forums. I apologize if you fail to see this. |

" Thanks hope it helps some people out there. Build is.... super fun to me atm and great for tota and sanctum. " Simply because we have a lot of es + the regen es on block. Honestly I normally absolutely HATE Mind over matter. Even with tons of regen and like thousands of mana the second you can't cast your skill it feels awful... however that is almost never a problem with this build, and when it is there are so many other defensive layers that it's never really a problem more just a minor annoyance. 99% of the time you don't even notice it though and just play like normal because we don't even get hit a lot especially during normal mapping and such. |
