Al Dhih Timeworn Claw for more Herald of Agony Clearspeed

Video Showcase! (Pit of the Chimera Map + Bossfight)



Hey, I noticed, that Herald of Agony is pretty popular, however a lot of people are suffering with a bad clearspeed.

This is why I want to share my own HoA build, because I think its a great compromise between Boss DPS and Map clearance. Instead of a rare claw with Minion damage, I am using the Al Dhih claw. Every time we hit an enemy with anything, we trigger a Level 1 Abyssal cry. Every support gem in this claw automatically supports it, so Void Manipulation and Increased Area of Effect are used to increase both, Damage and AoE.

Thanks to the Spiritual Aid node on the passive tree, all we need is stacking minion damage to make Abyssal cry strong enough to clear whole packs if the first minion dies.

Obviously we are sacrificing boss DPS, because we can't wield a weapon with actual minion damage on it, that being said I think it is definitely worth it. Right now I have 500k Shaper DPS (Calculated with 35 Virulence stacks) and thats with a lvl 20 HoA and only lvl 3 empower. With a lvl 21 HoA and lvl 4 empower, I would reach 636k and when you want to push it even further and spend 50ex for a +1 Coming Calamity the build goes up to 818k. Thats definitely enough to kill bosses reasonably fast while still having decent killspeed thanks to constant abyssal cries.



If there is enough interest, I can give you a more detailed guide but for now here is my PoE Link, I think most of the stuff is pretty much self explanatory.

Greetings,

That build already exists and the VMS is the boss killer. Here are the components:




And here is an update with a new weapon that works fine:


The build is called Lazy Walker.

Well I wouldn't call it "same build", but I always appreciate builds, that utilize Abyssal Call/Al Dhih especially when it uses other pieces of uniques in such a clever way. Thanks for posting :)

I was not telling that in any way to belittle what you said. I am sorry, I was assuming you were talking about the Juggernaut build...:)

Thank you
