POEGuy's Notes

BUILD GUIDE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSGu0VjglbI *Make sure that you understand your build; especially if you are new to POE! ( IF YOU HAVE A MAGEBLOOD )You can find the video discussing the Mageblood version and gameplay showcase for it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC0Zee5yWPI ![READ]![READ]![READ]![READ]![READ] --- SMALL CHANGES --- ![READ]![READ]![READ]![READ]![READ] There have been a few changes to the SKILL TREE. Apparently, the Herald ascendancy was giving us far more poison chance than I had anticipated! BECAUSE OF THIS We will drop those small skill tree nodes that granted chance to poison and instead allocate one extra VIRULENCE MEDIUM CLUSTER JEWEL. Additionally, we will drop the Whispers of Doom notable, as Malediction doesn't count as a curse for some reason (it is tagged as a debuff). You can use a level 21 20 "PIERCE support" gem instead of "Awakened Vicious Projectiles" for the strategies that spawn massive amounts of monsters. DAMAGE IS GREAT even with the PIERCE gem equipped! (just make sure that is at least level 20 20 though) FOLLOW THE SKILL TREE FROM THE POB.

DISCORD INVITE LINK: https://discord.gg/92ab6Zs3ZT -------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO PLAY THIS BUILD: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is basically a 1 button build. You hold down ONE BUTTON and you just spin around. For hard enemies you will curse with Despair. This will not only apply the Despair Curse, but will also give us Wither stacks ( see the balance of terror jewel ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMON MISTAKES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Again, the HOA HERALD Build Guide has everything inside it -> I've answered all the possible questions, left crafting guides, left gameplay tips, upgrades, talked about budget items and a few tricks. Usually people that skipped the main build guide are the ones that have problems. Here is a list with the most common problems: 1) Doing the build on a low-level character, using the wrong ascendancy, or not using the indicated items can cause serious issues! As explained in the guide, you should switch to this build on a level 91 Witch with the Herald ascendancy fully unlocked. Additionally, the player needs at least 40-50 Divine Orbs for this setup. 2) As explained in the guide, your "Tornado of Elemental Turbulence," "Ball Lightning of Orbiting," and "Cyclone" NEED TO BE LEVEL 1. You will encounter significant mana issues if you level these gems further! (Apply quality to them as well.) So, all three should be level 1 with 20% quality. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TIPS, WARNINGS & REMINDERS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Our biggest weakness is damage over time. Make sure to fully unlock your PANTHEON. For this setup, we will use ABERRATH and ARAKAALI. 2) With my setup YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE "The Golden Rule" jewel for single target virulence stacking. You will reach maximum virulence if you just spin onto the boss. 3) Because of the Herald ascendancy, we are gaining a lot of extra virulence, which makes our Crawler attack very fast. As a result, clearspeed is great even with a "Brass Dome" body armor. This body armor will easily give us 4000+ armor, 5% to all maximum resistances, and immunity to critical strikes. Having the "Supreme Ostentation" Keystone further justifies the use of this armor. ( No need to go for "Lioneye's Vision" for the pierce; We will use PIERCE SUPPORT ( check the gem setup from the provided POB ) 4) For the Spectres we are using "Dark Marionettes". Don't bother with any other Spectre ( they will die! ). Dark Marionettes get resummoned after they die. We use them in order to trigger the "Feeding Frenzy" buf for our Agony Crawler. TRADE LINK: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Phrecia/8aVPegviV ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TIER 17 MAPS & BAD MODIFIERS - HOW TO ROLL YOUR MAPS PROPERLY // - REGEX FILTERS - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For Tier 17 maps we will use 2 REGEX filters. ( in case you don't know how to use them, you have in the BUILD GUIDE a TIMESTAMP that shows it visually. The Timestamp is called "TIER 17 Map Rolling" / starts at minute 36:23 ) TIER 17 ROLL #1 "!'v|ur$|uns|rune|gen|pet|vola|s rec|on,|wb" TIER 17 ROLL #2 "!o al|ra c|get|uct|tiles$|wak|r li|wni|k at|' mi" For Tier 16 maps it can do all. But I highly advise that you avoid: "Players cannot Regenerate Life, Mana or Energy Shield" & "Monsters have a 50% chance to avoid Poison, Impale, and Bleeding" // For NO REGEN & LOW REGEN you can just use your flasks. ( non mageblood version only! ) **You also have on the Guild DIscord 2 dedicated channels for this build!
