There were fewer already corrupted victarios than i thought there would be (possibly because of EE's video), but i was able to snag one for 40c. The attack speed of the crawler seems a bit insane with frenzy charges. At full stacks, with my gear/tree, and with frenzy charges the crawler has 258% inc. attack speed and feels like a small machine gun. The extra minion movement speed also helps for mapping. The downside is that the Agony Crawler's range is further than the "nearby" range for Victario's so you may lose charges every now and then if you dont use convocation. The other downside is its low block chance basically requires a lot more investment in block for the tree/jewels. Also losing the % life when you block mod also is a noticeable increase in how many small hits i can take. I used to be able to basically afk in the bloodlines obelisks, but now i basically just break even with the anvil's mods. Not the biggest downside, but its something i need to pay attention to now. Edit - Im not 100% sure, but i do think ive seen the crawler miss a few times. Im not sure how to go about testing it but it feels like its aim is off sometimes or it just misses. Also i dropped the instant warcry nodes. Keeping up 6 endurance charges was great for dealing with the random hits, but i dont need to spend 5 points for pure ease of use. I can use those for more life and damage. The shield does sound pretty useful, especially if you can live with the drawbacks. How much block did you manage to get with it, and are you going to keep on using the Victaro's? " Camaron wrote: Also forgot to ask how do you get endurance charges as gladiator? ( used to playing juggernaut) Enduring cry or somehow using Warlord's Mark. Enduring cry would probably be the best option, especially if you use a instant warcry tree.

I crafted some Gemini Claws (I didn't found a shaped one yet) with fossils. I'm unsure if Despair is really that useful, I might want vulnerbility more. Current weapon: While I don't plan on using herald of purity, I'm thinking about getting an Eldar Gemini Claw, to get some nice mods like more LGoH or Chance to poison. My weapon is all about ultility. Current gear (yes it need upgrades) Spoiler Great that your SSF experience with the build has gone well :) Unlucky with no anvil / lioneye's though :( I would think that Temporal Chains or Enfeeble would be a better option if you can get them, but I'm aware that you can't craft that on a weapon. The dmg for clearing is already there, and you do also have plenty of dmg for bossing. So a defensive curse would be nice if possible. I'd love to get hold on a weapon with that lgoh on blinded enemies. It'd make a nice difference on how fast you can get back up in boss fights.

With that you should feel a big difference in your boss dps. " kazzo92 wrote: Hows the leveling with HoA ?

Leveling is easy, you can use a tabula or any chest piece to level with. Attack with Cyclone/molten strike + Life gain on hit + Poison (lesser poison on lower lvls) + Blood Magic (if you use cyclone), and then go for as many links as you can afford with the HoAg.

I need to work on getting better block. Currently im sitting at 76% block with tempest shield up. I hit max block after ive taken a hit, or if Ive blocked 7 times recently. Im always at max block while mapping, but i will be below max block most of the time while bossing. The inconsistency with achieving max block is my biggest problem right now. This probably means that i need to get a few %life/block jewels, but that will reduce my total health when i get rid of the flat life from abyssal jewels. The damage is very nice (probably ~20-30% more damage), but the lowered survivability might be too much of a drawback. I need to play around with my setup more to see if i can get it to work. I am trying to craft gloves that give faster attacks/poison along with attack block, but that will be hard to hit.	Posted by ADM0N on Oct 11, 2018, 10:36:04 AM Quote this Post
One of the deepest solo delvers on HC is using a variant of this build: https://poe.ninja/challengehc/builds/char/Malchazor/ThisBuildIsPureAgony He's at 567 Static Strike is an interesting choice livejamie Last edited by livejamie on Oct 13, 2018, 4:16:34 AM	Posted by livejamie on Oct 13, 2018, 4:14:57 AM Quote this Post

I took a look at your character and it looks like you could get to 83/83 by getting 5% block on your gloves, and then either use 2 jewels with +1% block or 1 jewel + pick up the small node next to Solidity. There's 1 currently online that has a pair of gloves that would fit perfectly https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Delve/ZYwYL9CQ No idea what he would want for them though.

That combined with some other phys dmg reduction would certainly be of use to decrease the chance of 1 hits. Static strike would be a good mapping option imo, getting you to max stacks as soon as you hit a pack. Although I have a hard time seeing that it being any good for getting to 40 stacks on bosses.

2 Questions: 1) Why do link Maim in the 6L when we take Blood in the Eyes? 2) What do you think about EE's take on this build? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGulOov2jMM livejamie	Posted by livejamie on Oct 13, 2018, 4:54:23 AM Quote this Post

Enemies Maimed by Supported Skills take (10-14)% increased Physical Damage Supported Skills deal (15-30)% more Physical Damage It is a close 2nd in terms of damage for your 6th link. Vile Toxins is slightly better but even harder to colour for. " livejamie wrote: 2) What do you think about EE's take on this build? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGulOov2jMM It's a solid option to build with Elemental Equilibrium instead of going for a chaos/phys focus, and it does make it easier to colour the body armour as you only need 4 off-colours. I'm no fan of that he decided to go for 82/82 block only when you have been hit recently. Although you can always just tweak it with some gear and you'll hit 82/82 without Painforged.

Currently leveling this, haven't had a chance to test Cyclone vs MS yet, just wanted to point out you can get minion damage implicit on Wildfire jewels. Spoiler livejamie Last edited by livejamie on Oct 13, 2018, 5:40:16 PM	Posted by livejamie on Oct 13, 2018, 5:34:48 PM Quote this Post
