Academic-Health31's Notes

Greetings there,

Normally I do not post here, however, this build is so much fun that I wanted to share with whoever wants a very fun build (fun is subjective, I know).

Small background: league started as Hexblast > Tanky Flicker > ragequit and gave the build away > super tanky Toxic Rain Pathfinder > Autobomber > farmed up for ES/Int stacking EE Trickster > tried all variants (Splitting Steel, LS, Flicker) and none of them were fun > sold EE Trickster to re-fund my Autobomber > first (and possibly only) time I ever got to level 100

As a preface this is NOT my build - I have used this player's build and attempted to min-max it (still missing a good Bone Ring): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NfrrtoSguI&list=LL&index=13&pp=gAQBiAQB

Without further ado here is my PoE Ninja character: https://poe.ninja/builds/settlers/character/ysnake/settler_snake?type=exp&i=1&search=class%3DNecromancer%26skills%3DSummon%2BHoly%2BRelic%2Bof%2BConviction%2CHerald%2Bof%2BAgony

On first glance, it looks horrible, low everything, no damage, but this is PoE Ninja doing its thing. However, allow me to elaborate (and you will see from the showcases).

Build uses 3 Spectres, all defensive:

Perfect Warlord: Vitality, Immortal Call

Perfect Guardian Turtle: Determination, Fortify

Perfect Primal Thunderbird: Grace

(I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to show all their buffs in PoB altogether)

Here are the showcases:

Potential FAQ:

Do Spectres die? No. Turtle died 3-4 times over the course of 300ish hours I've played this build and it was on very rippy T17/Rogue combo maps. None of the other Spectres died. (turtle is 20c)

What is Animate Guardian Setup? https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzys-animate-guardian-gearing-guide (Kingmaker, Southbound, Mask of the Stitched Demon, Rare Boots with Chaos, Garb of the Ephemeral)

Does Animate Guardian die? With the above setup, no.

What is your DPS? My estimate is 15-25mil

Is it truly an Autobomber? You have to hold down both mouse buttons.

Is the build Immortal? No, look for Trickster and Zenith builds for that.

Can it do Ubers? Yes.

Is Mageblood needed for this build? Absolutely not. I ran "The Tides of Time" for most of my playtime.

Is Progenesis needed for this build? Absolutely not. It does raise your tankiness quite a bit.

Is 99% Adorned needed for this build? Absolutely not, 75-80% is more than enough to cap out Poison on Hit for minions.

You have weird a Watcher's Eye, what up with that? As long as you are AFFECTED by an Aura, you will get the Watcher's Eye benefits, hence the Spectres.

What mods can't it run? T17 there are a few bricking mods (the obvious ones), T16 you can run ALL mods (I just avoid Cannot Regen and 40% more Cooldown because they are annoying, 40% Cooldown in particular)

I see you stopping and casting in videos, why? One of the quirks of the build is actually keeping track of the two summons: Golem and Relics. Golem is your main tank, if it is alive, nothing is touching you. Relics die if Golem is dead.

Why do you think you're tanky? You are rarely getting hit, there are lots of layers of defense and if you're not getting hit, you're not dying.

There are so many things I'd love to talk about this build as I enjoy it THOROUGHLY. Honestly, I wanted to share it because I am genuinely happy with this build and hope that at least someone else will find as much enjoyment with this build as I have. The decent version of it is from the video: https://pobb.in/SC5yA-ZbJg1c - most (if not all) of these items are easily attainable
