3.26 The HoT-Auto-bomber Zoomancer
Introduction
Hey there, I am Tim and I have played PoE for more than 10 years. I focus on mapping and have done a lot of self-made builds over the years. I want to have an AFK experience while playing the game, watching TV shows on the side, etc. That means tankiness, good recovery, good damage, and only one button to click for me :). This is my second forum Guide. My First Guide is about league Starting as a Summoner. Maybe check it out! https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3471734 In this particular build I want to focus on a build that works well as a second build in a league with some currency to spent and the goal to blast content quickly while chilling.
The Idea and goal of the build
I want to play an autobomber that feels tanky and still does good bossing dps. By dropping the tripple damage staff and instead going for crest of desire we are free of the usual constraints of auto-bombers. We combine this with Lots of Minions to boost us. In The end we avoid most of the pitfalls of a normal auto-bomber and become something better !

How Herald of Thunder works
1.: The Basics Herald of Thunder is a fast hitting auto-targeting-ability. It is hard to scale since its neither a spell nor an attack. It Scales of quality and global damage sources like shock or global gem levels. 2.: More Indepth-Starting the Loop Herald of Thunder should be combined with Inpulsas broken heart. All shocked enemies explode ! But since Herald of Thunder cant shock itself you’ll have to find another source of shock. Step 1.: Manually cast a Shocking skill (Shock Nova is BIS in my opinion) Step 2.: Herald of Thunder triggers and acitvates „Storm Secret“ which damages us. Step 3.: Cwdt triggers and Crackling Lance of Branching triggers- effectively shocking the whole screen Step 4.: See the whole screen explode, the chain has now started- no need to manually cast again.
