PoE Animate Weapon builds

That's my league starter, took me a while to figure out and to build (i'm not a minion player) I don't like minions builds because they are button heavy, so i tried to build this one to be minimal (1 main + 2 utility) So far it's doing some pretty good damage, and there is not much to press 1. right click for your AW 2. (occasionally) the big guardian RF 3. (on bosses) arcanist brand for mark + offering (pob doesn't calculate AG of Smithing, i expect total DPS to be at least 1.5x) PoB (target): PoB (current):

After generating enough currency with my first character, I got around to making this monstrosity, which is really what I returned to POE this league for: I really wanted to go all out and see how much synergy I could squeeze from these new spectres, so my current build takes inspiration from Ghazzy's zoomancer and just adds more stuff to the screen. Currently, it runs the AW of ranged arms, vaal skeles, zombies of slamming, animated guardian of smite, a carrion golem + 3 hordling carrion golems. Now, I'm sure poison or cold

Been a while since I played AW, kind of excited for a Vaal AW skill. Threw together a quick build: Edited United for the mod changes. I took the Mana Mastery node for Clarity reservation, but added the new mana efficiency res to configs in its place. Any thoughts?

Hey folks, I'm having an absolute BLAST playing and just finished killing Maven and non-Maven Ubers with this so I thought I would share. Occultist gives us the curse effect and pops, using glancing blows and life on block for defences. You can start this build with only United in Dream and ~~4W Triad Grip~~ Darkness Enthroned with Chance to Poison Jewels to hit 100% chance to poison. A 4W Triad Grip is a nice boost to damage, but not essential. I crafted mine using Betrayal. Took 3 Catarina runs, so just a couple of hours specc'd fully into Betrayal on the tree. I have two trees here, one w

I'm going to make a bet that patch notes will give us "Minions have +% chance to poison on hit" as an added mod to the pool for the new base types. We would use the free weapon to auto-cast Bladefall for Lingering Blades. Our Animated Weapons have 75/75 block, 83% all res, and max chaos res with ~24k life. Because they won't die, 2.5 blades every 8 seconds is plenty to sustain the minions and even if not we have increased duration nodes right where we're pathing. We're using Eldritch Battery for the Divine Blessing option (Haste, which lasts 30+ seconds btw

Wanted to share my masterpiece.

I know, i know, Reaper is trash but hear me out :) Animate weapons play utility role (applying stuff like withered), and add much needed clear speed to Reaper. Right now im breaking in red maps and sailing is pretty smooth i'd say. When i added cruelty and soem other stuff to PoB i was around 900k dps (which is not precise of course). Im ready to throw some parts of it out but not sure which (probably triple offering idea) and i I would like to free all those travel points EB, but i'm not sure how to resolve mana issues, so if you ahve any advice on this - i would be grateful!
